Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

So, with patch four out today and MyLeague/GM still unplayable due to roster/contract issues, and opening night of the NBA season four days away, does anyone have a guess when these modes might be playable?

I play MyLEAGUE. What exactly is broken with the roster and contracts?

[KowboysUp]

Haven't played one yet except to mess around a bit, but from what I gather, among what I'm sure are many other issues:

- Bird rights are messed up
- Centers are getting billion dollar contracts (yes, billions with a B)
- Star players are demanding max money even when nobody has cap space, staying unsigned until the very end, and then taking near vet. minimum 1 year deals.
- Probably not a fixable issue but seems like KD leaves the Warriors almost every time and, if you go back a few pages in this thread, Paul George goes back to Indiana after one year in OKC! I guess Indianapolis is kind of like LA, right guys?

I play ML for the realism obviously, and I'd rather just not play than sink tons and tons of hours into a broken, unrealistic mode.

But these are all problems you can fix: With 30 team control!

What I'm doing every year(because contracts are a problem for as long as I can remember) is that I raise the cap to the maximum possible from the start and turn off the hard cap. You need discipline because in theory you could sign basically everyone, but it seems to be the only way around.

Another thing that caught my eye recently is that rotations are really bad right now. The CPU won't start players on their secondary positions. If you look at Boston at the beginning they will start Theis at the 4 because he is their best option with PF as main position. But obviously Tatum, Morris and even Horford would be the better options there, all with PF as secondary position. If you change the main position of Morris to PF he will automatically start.
Same thing in Cleveland: Put Love as a 5, they will automatically start Frye. If you change Crowders position from 3 to 4 he will. But shouldn't they look at the guys with the alternate positions as well for the starting spots? Seems like something is off there.

I’m in year 2 of mygm with the Kings and I’ve enjoyed the hell out of the story. The offseason was filled with unpredictability. I agree with others saying the signings are kind of ridiculous but it made the league very interesting.

Durant and Bosh signed with the Hawks
Paul George went to Brooklyn
Chris Paul signed with the Pacers

Kind of a mess but very entertaining.

I've been doing 30 team control, playing as the Lakers only. I've built a few contending teams such as Cavs, Lakers, Raptors, Spurs, and Rockets.

I've been able to create some teams that are up and coming through trades. Right now I only have 3 terrible teams that are loaded with bad contracts but I gave them good picks in return. Those teams would include the Bulls (who are somehow over .500) , Hawks, Magic, and Kings. Theres at least one building piece at each team including huge amount of cap space in the coming years.


I'll probably start over and do a 30 team control starting with this season so I can control the contracts a little better.

- Bird Rights are fixed.
- Billion $ glitch seems fixed.
- This happens only if you have Hard Cap ON - the NBA has no Hard Cap.
If you turn it off, no Star Player will sign for the minimum.
However, most of them will resign and not change teams.
- See above. Hard Cap OFF and KD will remain with the Warriors and George with OKC.

With 30-Team-Control MyLeague is absolutely playable.

I've never done 30 team control, because I want to be responsible for competing as hard as possible to help MY TEAM and my team only. I'm not sure I'd have the self-control necessary to be truly fair and impartial in administering the league, and I don't think it's too much to ask that I not have to do this, but apparently not!

I already want to pump up the ratings on half of my Celtics, especially Terry Rozier, who has looked amazing in pre-season (along with Aron Baynes, Guerschon Yabusele and Semi Ojelye!), so how am I supposed to be fair in free agency and trades if I can't even do rosters fair?

If what you say is true about all those fixes, that's great news! Can anyone else confirm?
