So is there a way I can change which team that I am controlling in MyLeague?

You can set it up to where you control anywhere from 1 or 2 to all 30 NBA teams, but if you already started with only controlling one team, it’s too late :/

In MyLeague go to “Options”,
then “MyLeague Automation” at the bottom.
In that first highlighted line at the top that says “Team”, slide it to whatever team you want to control and switch the “User Controlled” option to “Yes”.

РС:

another year, same bugs...
foul out - 6, if you change it, anyway foul out after 6...
injuries - turn it off and you see it will not work.

and game sometimes just closes. no error, just closes. in my online league everyone was tired of this.

2k, please, open your eyes and fix it...

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

Trades: What I do is I set the "CPU" teams to auto for trades, but turn on trade approval. AI teams will make trades with one another this way, but I'll be allowed to review them first and decide whether or not I think it makes sense for the involved teams. If you don't want to review trades, you can just set trades to Auto and "Trade Approval" off and then the AI will just freely trade with one another.

Injuries: You can set lineup-management type stuff to Auto so that the AI will respond to injuries themselves.

MyLeague allows you to pretty much customize any little detail that you personally want to handle; it's pretty great.

Thanks.





I tried this and I don’t like it. I don’t like that I can accept any trades I wish to make with my own team when the CPU may ask for a lot more to make it happen.I think I’ll just do a single team my league and approve the CPU trades.That appears to be an option, just wont have control to setup storylines on my own.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

I started a MyLeague with the Spurs. I am playing with the updated roster from here with advanced rotations and playbooks updated along with injuries. I put that i can control all teams but put everything at auto except lineup management so advanced rotations can stay intact and maybe i'll put free agents signings on in the offseason aswell so that i can control if those unrealistic signings were to happen but they should since i turned the hard cap off.

As for my Spurs, i am not looking to change anything at the moment, i am glad with how my team looks, maybe i'll try to trade close to the trade deadline. This season should be easy in terms of handling the team, no big changes needed, it'll be almost on autopilot, but next season some changes will be had to made. If Pop retires and Tony and Manu go with him, it will be difficult to replace him and keep the Spurs culture going on.

This should be a long and fun ride

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

In my league I play 10 min quarters and since the past update I have noticed some disturbing trends... even when I adjust the sliders, players aren't getting tired at all and there are never any injuries during the game. Also, I just played a game in my league against twolves and towns didn't sub out once... he played all 40 minutes ...

I have noticed these issues since the latest patch and it's becoming a deal breaker in my league for me...

As for Towns not subbing out, you should have downloaded a roster that has edited advanced rotations for every team...I haven't started a myleague yet but im currently using Ciaco's roster on ps4. It includes advanced rotations and updated playbooks for every team in the league. I definitely would NOT start a season without a good custom roster.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

Does anyone on here know what's the deal with player options when waived?


Suppose I waive a player on my team who has 1 year left on his contract + 1 year (player option). Do I only have to pay for the final year of his contract, or does the player option still count against my salary cap the season after as well?

I believe in 2K the original team pays him through the end of his contract (with the Player Option included) unless he gets signed by another team during the wavier period.

Here's some info on it on it in the NBA:

Spoiler

The remainder of the contract includes any seasons following an Early Termination Option (ETO), but not a season following a player or team option. However, as mentioned in question number 57, all contracts with player options contain a clause indicating whether the player receives his salary for the option year in the event he is waived before the option is picked-up. This clause states that the benefit is "to the same extent" as if the option had been exercised. The league interprets this to mean that the team salary is charged to all seasons of the contract, including the unexercised option season. For example, when Derek Fisher was waived by the Houston Rockets during the 2011-12 season, his player option for the 2012-13 season was unexercised. His remaining guaranteed salary (he agreed to take less in a buyout arrangement) was charged to the Rockets' cap in both 2011-12 and 2012-13.

Darned! That's crystal clear. Sounds fair, otherwise that would've been a major exploit to rob players of their player option and free up cap space

Thanks for the answer!

As the month changes to December, here are the standings from around the league


In the East, the contenders and pretenders are shaping up, as the Cavs Celtics and Raptors are strong at the top of the league, separated by only half a game. The 6ers are surprisingly strong, although coming off a loss to the Celtics 115-108. The Hornets have dropped to the 5 seed and the Nets are a surprise 7 seed, which could spell trouble for the pick the Cavs acquired in the Kyrie Irving deal. The Wizards have struggled MASSIVELY with John Wall dealing with a strained groin and playing limited minutes, going 4-10 since he came out of the starting lineup. The other surprise is the Milwaukee Bucks, who have struggled to score this season, especially from 3 point range, ranking 25th in the league in both categories. One would think the Bucks are thinking about shipping off Jabari Parker, the oft-injured Forward who’s been playing well coming off the bench after his injury, but is fast approaching contract discussions, for 3 point help. The team also recently lost Matthew Dellavedova for a couple weeks to a bruised heel.

In the West, the Warriors feel no drop off with Jordan Bell in the starting rotation due to Draymond Greens injury. The Timberwolves and Jazz are playing up to their potential, and the Rockets have been struggling a bit but are still well within range of a top 3 seed. The Spurs have been perhaps the most disappointing team our west, but the team has been dealing with the loss of Tony Parker, as well as recently losing Patty Mills for a couple weeks, leading to Dejounte Murray and rookie Derrick White sopping up the PG minutes as of late. There is still plenty of time to turn things around. Another contender for most disappointing team is the Denver Nuggets, who are 8-13 on the season and a sieve on defense even with the addition of Paul Millsap. The team had to deal with losing Wilson Chandler for a few weeks, but the team is now healthy so let’s see if they turn things around.

The Celtics are doing well, currently on a 3 game win streak. Terry Rozier is still out for another 1-2 weeks with his broken toe, but recently acquired Seth Curry has been doing well for the team, averaging 13.3 PPG while playing backup PG and SG. The minutes situation will be interesting when Rozier returns. Kyrie Irving has been playing MVP level basketball leading the league in scoring at 29.3 PPG on ridiculous 53/48(!!)/94 splits, along with 4 rebounds and 7 assists per game. Hayward has been solid as the number two option, adding 18 PPG as well as 5.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists albeit on slightly disappointing 43/36/90 splits. The team has a cakewalk of a schedule through most of December which hopefully leads to some much needed rest for Kyrie as he averages nearly 40 MPG.

Will update at the turn of the new year as the trade market should heat up as newly signed players can finally be traded

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

Have you guys played around and found sliders you like for progression and regression?

I tried simulating 5 seasons into the future and found this:

2018:
18 90+ players
22 85-89 players

2023:
20 90+ players
35 85-89 players

Obviously the 90+ part is pretty promising, but there's too much development going on in that 85-89 range for my liking. In particular, the draft-and-stash guys progress way too much. I've had those guys go up by 8-10 points in one year. It's pretty crazy.

Draft and stash guys improve like the G-League which makes sense for the G-League as many of those guys are fighting tooth and nail to stay in this game but maybe the not so much for the draft and stash. I always look to draft them mainly due to that when it's the CPU draft class and not mines.

I love the G-League development speed. If it was any other way, it would be impossible to develop guys who well, will never get PT on any NBA team.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

I'm having a hell of a time trying to find players to fit my system. I know I can see how a player will fit on my team if they are already in FA, but how can you tell if they can during the draft? Or if you are trying to trade for one?

You can't, this is how teams draft busts. That's why you got former GM's like Ferry who was excellent at signing FA's but terrible at drafting.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

So what about players like me who only plays MYGM and sometimes MYCAREER Pro-AM?

In MyGM you can't use a customized roster, you don't have all the other great options from MYLEAGUE, no 30 team control....

2k sacrificed this for the Story in MYGM, and the story is only one season long...I don't understand it ...do you guys think that the developers patch MYGM to a more customizable and user-friendly mode?

I wonder why you can’t use custom rosters. You can do a fantasy draft using classic teams in mygm, so why no custom rosters or expansion? This might be an oversight by the devs. Story mode doesn’t rely on the official roster, I had Kareem in my cut scenes wen I used the classic teams in a draft.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

Currently doing a MYLeague with the Seattle Supersonics. The 2nd expansion team was the San Diego Surf.

Three games in we are 0-3 recently pulled a trade that sent. Aaron Afflalo, and Andre Roberson to Sacramento for Willie Cauley-Stein, and Frank Mason III.

Our starting unit now is
PG: Milos Teodosic
SG: Brandon Paul
SF: Kyle Kuzma
PF: Al Jefferson
C: Willie Cauley-Stein

We have veteran leadership in Vince Carter. The bench features
Terry Rozier
Mike Muscala
David Nwaba
Dillon Brooks
Nemanja Bjelica
Mike Scott
Frank Mason III

Kyle Kuzma is my lone untouchable his FG % is way near 39%-42% but he is producing 24 PPG, 8 RPG....
