Welcome!
The NBA currently has 23 teams in it and a big draft upcoming at the end of the season with some prospects who can be impactful players for years for their teams. Right now, teams like the Celtics, Lakers, and 76ers rule the NBA, but the 1984 draft could shift the landscape of the next decade drastically. We are going to find out how.
This dynasty is going to be a rewrite of NBA history starting in 1983. Anything that happens from here on, will be allowed to happen.
The big reason for this is I wanted to do a historical run documenting each season as well as a future NBA from the current time. I decided to combine this all into one and go forward from there.
Settings:
NBA 2k23 on PS5
MyNBA mode 1983 Start
MJWizard 1983 Roster
GM Mode options are turned off. Only chemistry and morale are turned on and their effects have been dulled.
Games will be simulated.
82 game seasons
Pre-existing injuries will be off.
Career ending injuries set to 10. I don’t want players retiring because of injury.
Progression/Regression/Other dynasty settings: I have tweaked these slightly.
Rule changes will be on and be followed historically up until present day. At that point, who knows.
Expansion and relocation will happen as it naturally happened in real life until the present.
House Rules
So, over last few years of playing NBA 2k, I have run into the need to make a few house rules. Most of the rules come from my earlier dynasty days (2k17,2k18) and have been things I have slowly implemented into my franchises at varying degrees since.
-Using 30 team control for better long-term health. So, after running a 40-year sim starting in the Magic/Bird era and running through 2022, there are a few things I noticed. Because of this, I will be manually controlling multiple things for all 30 teams. I will leave the CPU to manage rotations, lineups, and injuries. All of the other GM stuff I will handle on my own for all of the teams.
-No convincing a player to play one more year when they want to retire across the entire board.
-Stepien Rule is in effect as it should be. I had it off once and did not like the results.
-I have created 30 GMs for this project.
-Trades will be done between teams but must use the trade finder option at least to get a sense of what a team is looking for.
Draft classes
I will be starting with the 1984 historical draft class by 2k and move forward from there. I will be adding a few key players over the years that are not in the classes, like Charles Barkley. Once we get to the present day, I will begin to use my 6 fictional draft classes I created. They can be found on the roster subforum of the NBA 2k Forum or by clicking (here). I will also be using the many fictional classes available here on the PS5.
One thing to note with the historic draft classes. Once we reach the 2021 class I believe from past testing, it does not load correctly and generates random players each time. I will try to combat that but making it into a custom class but when I have pulled historical classes into custom classes, birthdates and ages get messed up. I will likely just start using fictional classes at that time.
Updates
In the past, I did half season updates. Recently, I tried to do monthly updates. In adding some of the extra stuff I did, I bit off more than I could handle. The plan here is to likely only do a few posts or so during each season discussing some of the key events. As we move into future years, the pace may slow down and there be more posts, but it honestly all depends. The updates will either be just normal posts or possibly articles covering specific topics.
Goal
The goal here is to rewrite 40 years of history in the NBA as well as write the future of the NBA.
