    A couple quick questions to help me get the most out of the myleague experience:

    1. How do you guys play? Do you control 1 team or the entire fictional universe? I’m considering the latter. However, I’m trying to figure out how to best get it done. If I play 1 game a week with a different team, that’s 29 games a season. Then the playoffs. Or would it be better to get totally invested in 1 team?

    2. Do you guys play with the roster as is or do a fantasy draft? I’ve always done fantasy draft. Now, I’m wondering if I’m missing the purpose of how Leo created each team.


    Just interested in your Input
    Hey buddy, I agree these rosters are awesome to play with! And give a different vibe to the real NBA. I’ll give you my perspective.

    1. I control only one team, but I play with trade approval on. The reason for this is because I don’t know enough about the players to be able to manage the whole league. Like when using NBA rosters, I know the stars, their history, their play style, etc, so I can tell when things don’t make sense like trading a star for what appears to be younger players but really they are scrubs. With this roster you have no idea, and hence it’s a bit harder to learn everything. Over the course of a season though, you do pick up who is who and what they do well, but I tend to pick one team to learn about the league because it gives me focus.

    2. I play with the rosters as is. It’s almost like a fantasy draft anyway because it’s so different to real life. I don’t know how Leo built each team or the inspiration used for each team, but you can see the inspiration behind some players and the types of rosters that have been built, like a shaq-Kobe type team, a super shooter like durant, a Yao Ming type big man, etc.

    Coach 2K has some awesome videos which highlight the different players in the league and their play style. He uses a fictional league in the truest sense, with all his teams being fictional too. I personally play with fictional players but with real teams. That means you get the odd color commentary stuff referring to real life, but it’s not too bad.

    The only thing that I will note that is an oddity is some of the contract glitches, I think Leo might look at them in a roster edit, and they are no big deal (for the most part) and only affect the first couple of years anyway.

      I don’t get why the contracts with options on the official roster load ok but the edited rosters don’t.

      I think it mainly affects the players with contract extensions.

      I wonder if there were no contracts assigned to begin with what would happen.

        Here's a look at the Atlanta Zombies who are led by Cheng Uwahwah but he is out hurt. We get a good look at the next best players, Ingram, Washburn and Augmon.

        Great game!

          Loving the highlights. It's a shame Uwahwah was injured and couldn't play. He's a beast!!!

            Re: PS4 From the Ashes: Tim's Fictional Nba 2k19 Roster

            Purchased my TV and started with my first draft class tonight. I have an early morning in Korea tomorrow, so I can't pull an all nighter.

            I've already went through and selected 65 players and have made edits on all Center/PF speed, strength, vertical, etc ratings. I've sorted out my lottery picks, and picks 1-65. Picks 1 - 65 have proper ages, height, weight. The players that will not be drafted are rated 40, with all ratings down to 25 and have the age of 30.

            Still a ways to go but at least I've sorted the players and have a good blueprint of what to do.

              Hey Coach 2K,

              I wanted to ask, you have Detlef Djedovic on your team. I recently got a trade offer for him and looking at his attributes he seems like a great shooter and a 3 and D player with talent. What is your assessment of him? Good player? Good starting SF? I’m interested because he fits my team and would be an upgrade to my small forward position.

                I think he’s a good player. He was starting for me at small forward. When Bao started playing so well off the bench and Dantley got hurt, I moved Djedovic to shooting guard, Jukic to his primary position at SF and Bao starts at C.

                Then when Dantley came back I moved him to the bench so Dantley could start at SG.

                I will say he hits when I shoot but he’s not someone that gets open for three much. I focus heavily on Dantley so that’s probably why.

                Which team are you?

                  I’m playing with the Knicks so I have a really strong backcourt with Dante Carr and Dexter Henderson. I’m trying to boost my front court and Djedevic came up in a trade, also Amari Kemp who seems like an all star and I wonder if I should give up cap flexibility for him and his 6 year contract. Amari Kemp looks great but he’s also injury prone (lots of yellow and a red) which gives me pause.

                    I’d love to hear a rundown from Leo about the top 10-20 players in the league.

                    For example, what was your inspiration when you created them? What real life player do you compare them to? Etc.

                    I know you are doing a lot already & don’t want to add to your list. It just makes the roster come alive a bit more for me.

                      Okay, I will try but I'm very bad with that kind of thing and don't know how to add pictures to OS.

                        Thanks Leo!

                        Listen, you have already did so much for the community with this roster. No pressure at all! I remember how the player rundown made some of the fantasy draft classes come alive for me. Not just with players I use, but also with players I play against.

                        I just wanted to experience something like that with this Great roster. Again, I understand it is a lot of work and time consuming.

                          Another team on display in this video as we play the Vancouver Vampires. Tukmakov was outstanding in this one and Blackmon, Jr was very athletic!!

                          Tune in to see if we can get the win!

                            First look at the Grim Reapers who were led early by an extremely aggressive Eddy Drew. Fun game with great teamwork by the Hobgoblins.

                              Re: PS4 From the Ashes: Tim's Fictional Nba 2k19 Roster

                              One of the unique things I think leoalure put into his fictional roster was not just the players themselves but also their contracts and each team's salary cap situation.

                              In my team's case, I've got one of the best players in the league in Byron Dantley but he's an unrestricted free agent. I've got another older veteran named Jukic with a substantial deal of $30M per year that goes out until he's 35 years old. The problem that our team faces is that we don't have the cap space at the moment to sign our best player and he hasn't committed to us for next year yet either. To compound matters, Dantley does not have any bird rights which means we have to have space under the cap in order to sign him.

                              To get a clearer picture for the franchise, the front office sat down with Dantley to ask him what he wanted to do next year and then based on that discussion, we start making a game plan for the roster for next year.

                              Here's a breakdown of where we are headed.

                                Hey man, just wanna say that these rosters are AWESOME! I just started an expansion Myleague with them, and with 36 fictional teams. I find it pretty cool to have an entirely fictional league to play, and have completely new storylines. It gives the game, and professional basketball a breath of fresh air! Thanks for all the work!
