NBA 2K20 MyLeague Thread

[Junior Moe]

After a few patches that HOPEFULLY fixed the ML issues and JB releasing his draft class I have created my "real" ML. I didn't see an official thread so I figured I may as well start it. I'm pretty happy with the game overall. My main gameplay gripe this year is still the lack of charges and blocks. I have seen a few more than 2K19 but it's still bad.



I'm playing on default allstar with 10 min qtrs, I have lateral quickness lowered to 40, and gamespeed at 51 along with all foul sliders maxed. I also have layup defense raised to 100 for both USER and CPU. PIP can be a little crazy. That's it.



I'm mainly playing with my Hawks, gonna try to push for the playoffs and develop Trae Young and John Collins into Nash and Stoudamire 2.0.


I extended AD with the Lakers. I dont want to see him on the Hawks or something like he was in my test ML.



I signed Melo to the Blazers.


I traded CP3 to Miami for James Johnson, Dragic and a pick.


I assigned injuries to the real life players.


I'm watching the Wizards. If they are in playoff contention by the time Wall returns, I may leave Beal alone and even "heal" Cousins and trade him there to make a push with his boy Wall. If the Wiz are out of it, I'm gonna trade Beal to Miami in a trade centered around Herro and embrace the rebuild.



I'm going to let the rest playout however it does and only intervene if something is really sideways.

Re: NBA 2K20 MyLeague Thread

Once I’m done grinding my career then I’m gonna jump into my league. I did a Seattle rebrand when I first got the game before I started my career. I like that they’ve fixed a few bugs since release so that’s awesome. I’m gonna do a player lock with a created version of the my player I’m using in my career with the attributes and badges. I did it last year in 2k19 and I controlled the bulls and had a lot of fun. Now that expansion teams also have the warmups to match uniforms when players are on the bench makes my league a bit more immersive this year as well.

Re: NBA 2K20 MyLeague Thread

Did a fantasy draft the other day and I'm REALLY loving the look of this team. I have a young core of Jokic, Zion, and LeVert and surrounded them with shooters and defenders including Pat Beverley, Ariza, Joe Harris, Delon Wright, Richaun Holmes, and Mbah a Moute. Looking forward to playing more games with this team.

Re: NBA 2K20 MyLeague Thread

Soon I’ll do a Rockets fantasy draft and idk what exactly I want to draft but I know I want Zion and either Lonzo or Morant. Why those two, I don’t really know. Want either a star big or wing as well and going from there.

The mode is STILL a hot mess... The team chemistry and morale issues make it basically unplayable 🤷🏾*♂️

Re: NBA 2K20 MyLeague Thread

Turned off chemistry and put morale down to 5 to help mitigate those issues.

However every players morale is in the basement. I can't fix that one, not sure why that is happening.

How so? I've seen a lot of players upset in my test runs but it seems like you can always re-sign them anyway. At this point, I think morale is more cosmetic than anything and something you can probably just ignore at least when it comes to retaining players.

I'm not sure about how it effects teams on the court if the teams chemistry is low due to all of the upset players. Although, I guess it would be balanced across the league because the bench players even on good teams had low morale from what I saw.

I turn off chemistry and turn morale to zero. As long as you toss a garbage minute to the end of your bench players every 3 or 4 games, I have no issues. The only ones that I see are upset is players that get zero minutes but have CPU recommended minutes. And even then you can re-sign them.

And if you REALLY want to re-sign someone or keep someone on another team, edit their contract before free agency.

Re: NBA 2K20 MyLeague Thread

I'll probably be starting an Expansion team one shortly. The only thing I'm still worried about is the Qualifying Offer glitch, where a player would accept a large contract, and then end up instead reverting to taking the qualifying offer. Has this been fixed, or is there a solution outside of 30 team control/contract editing?

Re: NBA 2K20 MyLeague Thread

I'm really biding my time until CelticsLG's roster comes out but I am having a good amount of fun running an expansion team in MyLeague.

The San Diego Wildcats. The play at The Office, sponsored by Dunder Mifflin. Prison Mike is the logo at midcourt with scorer't table ads for Stark Industries, Dunder Mifflin, Blockbuster, Beavis and Butthead, AEW, and a political candidate (don't want to start any arguments).

We are currently 19-17. We started out 8-2 With a super easy schedule. But once we started hitting the better teams, we've struggled.

Squad is:

Dejounte Murray (yeah Spurs would protect him IRL)
Evan Fournier
Kyle Anderson
Marcus Morris Sr.
Stephen Adams

Rajon Rondo
Malik Monk (doubtful he would be in the draft)
Michael Porter Jr. (again, would be protected)
Ersan Ilyasova
Aaron baynes
Bruce Brown
Chandler Hutchinson (another one that would be protected)
Omar Spellman
Iman Shumpert

Monk is in the top 10 in the league in per 36m ppg. Rondo is number one in per 36m assists. Founier leading the team with 17ppg a game.

The team lacks lockdown defenders. We struggle bad on defense on a game where defense is hard. top flight wings like LeBron, Giannis, Kawhi, etc. have killed us.

Now the bad news. In the last week for whatever reason (my fault, game tuning, bad luck, CPU AI exploiting the game) the fun has lessened. Why? Because my CPU opponent is not playing "real" basketball. The games start out fine. Normal basketball. But as the game goes on, the CPU begins two strategies:

1. Fastbreak on everything. Made baskets, misses, turnovers, anything. Race down court and count on me struggling to switch defenders, count on the games poor help D and watch their guys race to layups.

2. If I get back and they start their offense, far too often the PG (and I mean any PG, top quality guys down to guys like Shabaaz Napier and the like) begin what I call "possessions of destiny." They try to drive. I cut them off. They keep doing it. Over and over. For the entire shot clock until by the end, at some point he has weaseled his way to the basket and then drops in a layup or other shot at an 80% success rate. It's insane.

I'm hoping a quality roster with changed tendencies can help with this issue.

I do think I may do another expansion team when I start another myleague simply due to the Pistons being a poor choice to use in myleague. Not a contender, trapped with contracts and lacking young talent. It would take 4 or 5 years minimum to realistically transform this team.

Re: NBA 2K20 MyLeague Thread

I'm playing as the Thunder doing a rebuild. First order of business was to trade CP3 in a 3 way trade with Miami and Dallas (James Johnson was taken by one of the two expansion teams I added, freeing up cap space for the Heat).

Thunder Receive: Justice Winslow, Courtney Lee
Dallas receives: Dragic
Heat Receive: CP3, Eric Moreland, 2020 Dallas 2nd

So far, the trade has been going well for both the Thunder and the Heat. I'm in full on tank mode in year one, and Chris Paul was too good to be an effective tank commander. However, he has been playing very well for the Heat, and they are currently the 3rd or 4th seed in the west. I have been simming most games in the first season, but playing against a lot of bad teams that I have a chance of beating or just random matchups that I want to play. My team is currently 5-25, so the tank is going pretty effectively. Winslow and Gilgeous-Alexander have both been averaging around 18-20 ppg and been the cornerstones of my offense. Hopefully they can be a solid starting point to build around. Steven Adams is averaging a healthy 14 rebounds per game without russ snagging them all away. I may try to trade him away, but I'm gonna need to find out a good package before I'd be willing to part with him (without anyone getting ripped off). He's still only 26, so he could be part of a rebuild.

I'm excited to play this team and use all my draft assets to try and recreate a Russ/Harden/KD version 2 eventually. Starting year 2, I'm going to probably be playing every game instead of simming (or at least most games).

Re: NBA 2K20 MyLeague Thread

I'm starting a Nuggets league. I want to move Bradley Beal here as my biggest move. I also want Lonzo on the team for personal reasons. Any realistic package to swap Jamal for Lonzo? Even if it is dumb lol

I ended up moving AD to the Knicks because I am an agent of chaos

Re: NBA 2K20 MyLeague Thread

Had the most awesome game of 2k today. My expansion Wildcats lost to Golden State 121-116. But finally it all came together and the CPU totally played like the Warriors. They took strategic timeouts when I was making runs. Curry did step backs. Klay curled off screens and got kickout shots. Green had 9 assists. It was amazing how much they played like the real warriors. They had fast breaks when they should, didn't force a ton of drives into the paint.

I wish every game was like that. I didn't change the sliders either so not sure what changed. Dumb luck I guess since to my knowledge the latest patch didn't touch offline gameplay

Does someone know how to stop Harden from shooting 55% from the field in sim games? I’ve tried anything: removed ALL the badges, shot IQ, Off Consistency and Intangibles at 50... Still 50% from the field
