I've noticed that 2k simulation has the Hawks way better than they actually are

Re: Official NBA 2k19 MyLeague/MyGM Thread

These wacky simulations happen every year in 2K. I remember last year I turned injuries off and Boston would miss the playoffs in 70% of my simulations. Just a product of the terrible job 2K does with tendencies and coach profiles, etc.

I´ve noticed that too, but only the last few days.
The first sims I ran after release, the Hawks always won 20-30 games, but now they are one of the Top Teams in the East.
Maybe they changed some ratings for the players, I don´t know.

In my test ML the Hawks were as bad as they should be. I don't know what's the deal now. Toronto is another team that's too good. In my test ML Toronto won the chip over a healthy GS. I just wrote it off. Toronto is still great even after trading Kawhi for Ingram. Thats the only change. Toronto was the 1 seed and are currently up 2 games to none over Boston (the 6 seed) in the EFC. I even manually injured Lowry, Ingram, Valanchuuis and Ibaka, they still won game 3 over a healthy Boston squad. I want Boston/Houston in the finals but the sim engine ain't having it!

I've ran way to many sim test seasons with the Hawks and they are without a doubt the most OP team in 2k. I would venture to guess if on default rosters they play GSW the hawks would win the series atleast half the time. I've seen them in year 2 without a player over 85 win the championship. In year 1 they almost always make the playoffs as a top 5 seed. Playing the lower rated guys does seem to help a little bit just not as much as it should. In general its crazy and the hawks will likely easily win 60 + games a year the first few years into my league that's how OP they seem to be.


thanks for the updated injury list

Trae Young turns into Curry in like a year in MyLeague, they added Kyrie in the second year of my test run and won a title. Not sure it’s possible to get a realistic SIM in this game mode as of yet.

Yea Trae is usually around 20 ppg in 1 and pushing 30 in year 2. In just about all my sims I had traded Baz so that likely helped out his scoring a bit.

Yep easiest rebuild I’ve ever done was ATL Hawks, Young was a 90 overall with two more years on his rookie scale after one untapped potential.

Guys, are these signings/trades okay? All simulated in first season/FA

You must be doing 30 team control in free agency? These signings are extremely logical and don’t hamstring the teams forever, which tends to be the case with MyLeague free agency since forever

No. They are full on sim, everything done by the AI

Did you get these with the updated sliders in your thread?

I ran lots of sims to work on my contract sliders.

observations over approximately 30 different simmed year one seasons.

Kawhi ALWAYS, without fail, signed an extension with Toronto during the season. He also took home several MVP awards and almost always won DPOY.

Hawks consistently wound up as the 4th-6th seed and sometimes made the 2nd round and once the conference finals. Young was almost always ROY (Ayton won a few) and consistently averaged 20 plus, 5 assists or more and a ridiculously low amount of turnovers (then again Harden and others also have far too few turnovers).

GS and Houston were the only Western conference teams to make the finals. In the East Toronto was the most frequent finals team, followed by Boston, Philly, and Milwaukee.

GS/Houston won every time but two, when Toronto won. No other Eastern team won the championship.

Klay Thompson most often signs with the Hawks in the off season. Jimmy Butler almost always resigns with Minnesota. Durant almost always resigns with GS.

Re: Official NBA 2k19 MyLeague/MyGM Thread

Got a question.

What are your thoughts on undoing trades? For example, I like Bridges and love the story of going to the team his mom works for. I want to basically undo that trade.

However if you look at 2K ratings, Bridges will be a way better player (at least according to potential).

How do you feel about stuff like that?

If that's the story you want to tell, go for it -- personally loved that angle too (and, man, what a harsh Day 1 lesson for the rookie). I feel the 76ers gambled for a pick that might end up being anything; Bridges was the more proven player, IMO. He was the better go to take, especially with their core, in the short and long term but whatever.


The "Start in Offseason" version of ML is great for these types of things.
