MyGM/MyLeague : Bird Rights not working/displaying and RFA not functioning

Re: MyGM/MyLeague : Bird Rights not working/displaying and RFA not functioning

Now that patch 4 is out, it looks like some of the issues from this thread have been addressed and not others. I was expecting a patch to drop before opening day, but I was hoping that patch would clean up these broken features and instabilities in the mode. This patch is apparently not that.

I can't tell if RFA's have been fixed, and it doesn't look as if draft classes or bloated salaries and salary caps have been addressed in any way. Dave already said the bug where high prospect C's aren't scouted would not make it into this patch, so that's no surprise. Nothing about how overly random the simulation engine maybe is for teams based on talent/rosters. Nothing about the CPU using G-League assignments or two way contracts.

What are you guys seeing? What issues are left to get cleaned up? The stuff the patch says it fixes, is it actually solid and fixed? Is the mode basically playable with user edits yet?

Just ran a fresh MyLeague, didn´t notice that.
Kyrie´s Contract is correct and he does not show up as an upcoming FA.
Maybe you have accidentally changed his Contract??

1. Bird Rights/Cap Holds
2. Centers, who should be top picks, are not getting drafted
3. Centers (and only Centers) sign for billions instead of millions
Thats the three bugs/glitches that hopefully will be fixed in the next patch.

Contracts (Role Players (Overall in the high 70´s - low 80´s) are demanding too much) and Draft Classes (too many 22-24 year old Rookies, who enter the League as Two-Way-Superstars, but this could maybe be fixed with the Draft Class Quality Slider though) may need a bit tuning.

Other than that, MyLeague seems fine.

I think their demands are fine if that's better than the average player and there is a demand for their talent but this game seems to not adjust when the league has improve and their salary demands ruins the game and the game doesn't adjust.

It depends on the root cause of the issue. Some can be fixed in the roster updates if it's just a template, but others are in code and must be a part of a patch.

Hello Davez, I listed a bug in the bug thread about two-way players getting traded and disappearing but the big issue I have seen during testing is by far the CPU logic not adjusting on salaries. If the avg NBA player is an 82, the salary should adjust to where the avg player is a 77 and no longer a 73 and salaries should adjust to that as well.


Thanks for the hard work, best MyLeague I've played ever. The two-way contracts make it possible to develop players who are poorly rated or just can't improve on an NBA roster due to a lack of playing time. Best addition to MyLeague by far.

What are two-way contracts and how do they help guys to get better?

What are two-way contracts and how do they help guys to get better?

Just a copy/paste from the MyLeague/MyGM blog:

Two-Way Contracts
Taking full advantage of G-League availability are Two-Way Contracts. With the ratification of the new CBA, NBA teams will now have two additional roster spots designated for players on “two-way contracts.” Always aiming for completely authenticity, NBA 2K18 fully supports this new addition to the league. Any player with three or fewer years of NBA service is eligible to sign a two-way contract. A player on a two-way contract can spend a maximum of 45 days with their NBA team (during the G-League season). Once the player has run out of NBA-days, he must spend the remainder of the season in the G-League, unless converted into an NBA minimum contract player. NBA 2K GMs would be wise to utilize this to their advantage as you can more easily keep hold of developing talent, while being able to bring the players up to the NBA team to check in on how they are progressing (and to use them as stop-gaps when injuries hit your roster).

Did the patch fix MyLeague's issues? Is it playable yet?

I haven't started a MyLeague yet. Is it safe to do so now?

In the Patch 1.04 thread I read this:

Can’t edit my previous post for some reason... but here’s what happened with those guys

Lakers signed KD for 1yr/1.48 million
76ers signed I.T. for 1yr/5.94 million
Wizards signed DeAndre Jordan for 1yr/5.94 million

Seems like that cap hold “fix” they implemented just did more damage than good

Hope they fix this immediately.

Re: MyGM/MyLeague : Bird Rights not working/being force-renounced and RFA not functio

Did another test run ..

KD signed with the Bulls for 5 years because the Warriors couldn’t even make an offer

IT still sitting in the free agent pool at beginning of the year. He ended up signing with the Heat on a 1 year deal worth 7 mill

Will run some more tests to see if that first offseason was an anomaly, or if it’s frequent.

What it seems like now is no matter what, K.D. Will be on a different team after the first season, and IT will sign with no one until the first week of the season is over

Re: MyGM/MyLeague : Bird Rights not working/being force-renounced and RFA not functio

Did another test run..

Beginning of the next season

Paul George
Isaiah Thomas
Chris Bosh
Greg Monroe
Enes Kanter
Derrick Rose

All of them 80+ overall sitting in free agency ..

Suns signed PG13 to 1yr/11 mill deal
Cavs signed Greg Monroe to 1yr/3 mill
Bucks signed IT to 1yr/1.95 mill
Wolves signed Chris Bosh to 1 yr/8 mill

And here’s the kicker ..

76ers signed Enes Kanter to a 1 year deal worth 20 million .. Christ

Doesn’t look like it’s a one off anomaly, it’s happening each time I run a test sim

This time, Kevin Durant signed with the Pacers

SMH with this nonsense

Re: MyGM/MyLeague : Bird Rights not working/being force-renounced and RFA not functio

Wow if above is true, I'm not even really sure what we can do.

It is becoming very clear that MyLeague was not even close to being ready for release. Just accept that we are basically beta testing at the moment. I trust the team and know they are hustling so I have hope this is all fixed at some point with patches.

Also, not gonna bother really starting a MyLeague till the SimWorld guys do their thing, so I guess I have time either way.

Are you running with hard cap on or off? I've only done my test-runs with hard cap off and I'm not seeing this as crazy as you...

I REALLY want to get MyLeague done, but I don't want to "waste time" and have to restart. Fingers crossed the devs are able to fix these things so I can dive deep into my virtual NBA!

Re: MyGM/MyLeague : Bird Rights not working/being force-renounced and RFA not functio

I see these other issues as well. I can live with some of it because they'll never get it 100% right but have they fixed the bird rights issue and billion dollar contract issue? Those were my biggest concerns and they weren't mentioned in the notes.

It seems like the only way to beat this is A) run a 30-team league and manually go in and delete some of the offers (like the Pacers for example, KD would never sign there anyway) or B) turn the hard cap off. That gives The Warriors the ability to resign him, although I'm not sure if that will create some other problems down the line.

It's too bad we have to work around it like this, but so far it's the only way I've found. I bought the game September 15th, and I don't feel like waiting even longer for future patches, so this is how I started my league yesterday.

Re: MyGM/MyLeague : Bird Rights not working/displaying and RFA not functioning

These problems essentially make myGM unplayable (as if it wasn't already with that idiotic story mode they implemented). My workaround in previous years was to alter contracts of elite players to extend the length and keep them on their current teams, but as we all know 2k took away the ability to use a custom roster in myGM.

Being that myGM was the only mode I previously played, it may be time to trade this game in, because I don't see them allowing the ability to use a custom roster in the mode or they would have done that by now. The free agent logic and salaries are garbage. They always have been and always will be. I certainly do not expect that to change.

All I wanted to do this year was upload my own roster and do an expansion myGM exactly the same as I did a year ago in 2k17. Thanks to everybody for getting this information out to us so we won't waste our time in the mode. You saved me a lot of time and frustration.

Re: MyGM/MyLeague : Bird Rights not working/displaying and RFA not functioning

The new issues are unacceptable and I say this because, wouldn't QA testing at 2K Sports catch these issues? Ones like guys (IT) not signing and then signing 1 yr deals for low money? I mean, how is that not caught? What is going on there??
