Scenario: YearzeroWNBA

Back with another fictional multiverse, technically this doesn’t count as myNBA but it’s WNBA and I really enjoyed making this one. Don’t know who’d be interested but feel free to check it out if you’d like to 👍

•This league has 20 teams. I want to give credit to (EliReedThatGuy) because the non IRL expansion teams regarding the team branding and uniforms for the comets, utah , belles, sol, rockers, and detroit were not made by me. It was just a scenario I found because I tried manually making more expansion teams but my game would just crash, and his expansion teams look great and work fine; so whoever you are, thank you 🫡. The individual players on each team are all from my save though.

•The roster makeup of each team has a unique set of players, and most importantly the tendencies for the players on each squad are customized to match their ratings.

I mainly focused on the 3point shot tendencies in particular, as players who low 3pt ratings shouldn’t shoot any of them in game or during simulation. Aesthetically I customized most of the players, but feel free to change any of the signature animations as some of the jump shots for players might be too slow. There’s also customized coaches, although the ratings for the coaches are pretty low.

*The cap space should continuously go up each year and every player should demand more and more money within sim years. My main gripe with this mode is how terrible the prospects are, and it lessens the experience but for starters I edited certain prospects to give them slightly higher ratings.

-The general settings and gameplay settings/sliders are curated by me, but if you don’t like them feel free to change it to your liking.

Thank you to anyone who even read this breakdown or if they decided to check this scenario out, much appreciated and let me know what you think if you give it a try.

For fun just wanted to air out my thoughts on what changes should be made regarding MyNBA, they sure as hell won’t happen but it’s fun to imagine it lol

1. Fixing the draft classes and auto-generated players in general

**-**This first photo is a great example of what’s wrong with draft classes. This is just a regular auto generated class from the main menu, why is every top rated player already 20+yrs old? Irl most prospects are 19/18 with some of the older prospects above 20 towards the back of the draft class as high floor players, instead of being the premier guys according to 2K.

-Second slide, quite literally the worst point guard class of all time. None of these guys are playable even in the rotation as they excel at literally nothing, every prospect feels exactly the same with similar ratings, badge counts, and skill sets.

-This is an aesthetic thing, but the players wear the weirdest sets of equipment. Nobody in the NBA is rocking whatever dude in slide 4 is wearing. This game also for some reason loves to auto generate unrealistic player profiles, and 6”3 230 pound PG? You’re playing the wrong sport bud. Also another one that i’ve seen, a 6”5 power forward?

-This is another huge pet peeve for me when it comes to auto generated players, the tendencies are completely ludicrous. In draft classes, it’s so easy to find a guy who has a 3pt rating in the low 70s or the 60s and they’ll shoot almost 10 3s a game. You have to manually change their 3point tendency or else it’ll stain the league and your team will suffer because of it.

2. Functional G-League for player development

-Huge pet peeve here, every time you send a young or newly drafted player to the G-league they crash out. Irl the g-league is a great spot for draft picks to become more acclimated to playing against NBA caliber talent, especially for international guys, and it’s better than them sulking away on the bench.

3. Training Camp

-WHY was this even removed? This was such a simple but cool feature that was in older 2k iterations, and I loved using to further develop young talent or if I wanted a non-shooting player to develop a 3 point shot for example.

4. Player drills (similar to Old-gen mycareer)

-This could coincide with training camp, where you could play actual drills in practice to help improve your players. In mynba they have a whole training tab that’s super cool but I feel like they could do much more with it by adding gameplay drills. Also, this could be a feature added into the pre draft workout point in the offseason where you can try out prospects before making a decision on drafting them.

5. Live negotiation system (From Last-Gen MyGM)

-In the old MyGM games, you could actively negotiate with players, coaches, and staff in order to sign them. You could ask them about team state, style, prestige, etc, as a way to gauge how interested they are in signing with your team. It would be so much fun if this was in MyNBA, and it’d make the experience feel more real instead of just clicking a button or two to sign someone.

6. An actual draft stage where prospects would wear team hats and greet Adam Silver

-Just something to make the experience feel more real.

7. Rapid Fire features/fixes that should already be in the game but 2k doesn’t care enough to fix

-Up to date apron system
- Superstar trade requests
-Buyouts, holdouts, Sign and trades
- Updated trade logic and more diversified team trading personalities, CPU teams will never trade for 90+ ovr players nor will they trade away their own 90+ovr players. Also, in trade finder they’ll send laughable offers to players you’d like to trade away and they’ll never give up multiple first round picks.

-Bring back the first, second, and third option roles in the coaching game plan selection menu

- PLEASE lower the number of CPU-CPU trade ups in the top 10/Lottery of the draft

-Fix the games played section for college prospects

-Similar to real life, genuine superstar players should rarely hit the open market during the free agency period.

-Similar to the 2k hoops summit, make a playable NBA Draft combine game

-Blockbuster CPU-CPU trades at the offseason and the trade deadline

-Minutes restriction functionality, I know there’s conditional coaching but i’m not sure if it entirely works correctly.

If you made it to the end, thank you for reading. None of this will likely ever happen besides maybe the apron system because they’ll probably be obligated to with the new lottery rules. This is just my vision of what the mode should look like.

Did I miss anything else? If so let me know your thoughts.

Scenarios: Yearzero and YearzeroNCAA
•Just some highlights of what’s going on in my league

I’m working on releasing a WNBA fictional multiverse version, idk if anyone would be interested in that but I enjoy making them!

Also working on some draft classes to be uploaded that provide lore from both leagues, and just fictional draft classes in general

who threw the ball back to the pitcher from the dugout? I have so many questions and concerns 😭😭

Scenario: Yearzero & YearzeroNCAA

•Max Pickett goes down with a scary lower leg injury

•Haden Arenas is off to a hot start, could be a sneaky trade candidate as the grizzlies are looking to sell the roster
• Kostas is an MVP favorite and the mavericks are on a huge winning streak

•Some key highlight plays, and some NBA Cup action

•Projected number 1 overall pick Kitja Buechler makes his Texas debut, and yams.

•Jud Neal leads an intriguing recruiting class, where will the top recruits land?

•Larry Jenkins and Tyronn Schayes go head- to-head, both are projected lottery picks

The odd numbered images are literally from the face creation suite in superstar mode, why isn’t this in franchise? They look like the average newly drafted NFL player.

Everyone, keep clowning on these presets until they add the custom face creator into franchise. Something that is in EVERY OTHER SPORTS GAME, or if you’re too lazy to add something that’s already in the game, at least use AI for crying out loud.

•PLEASE man, custom faces should be a thing for every fake generated player in madden franchise. Such a small thing that should’ve been implemented a LONGG time ago, and it completely ruins the realism for me when i’m forced to draft these guys in every single madden title. It’s literally a feature in every other sports game, and it’s literally a feature in superstar mode, but for some reason it’s not implemented in franchise mode? Makes no sense at all.

•At the very least, use AI faces because these presets have been in the game since dinosaurs roamed the earth and i’ve drafted multiple players with the same face preset a million times.

•If you guys resonate with this, please share this to as many franchise players as you can to somehow get the attention of franchise devs. Thank you.

Scenario Name: YearzeroNCAA
Sliders: YearzeroNCAA (Turn game speed to 54 or 55)

-Another one! It’s definitely not as authentic as the NBA version since it’s harder to implement it with only 36 teams and the rules are wonky but tried my best.

-All players on the rosters and the head coaches for each team are fictional. The ratings for the players on this file are noticeably lower than most would probably prefer, and I designed it that way to ensure the top players in the country that are NBA bound truly differ from the rest. Also makes it easier to export them into draft classes with realistic ratings.
The sliders that I have provided should counteract with the low ratings and it should make it easier to score.

-Trading is turned off, and free agency is used to simulate the transfer portal. Instead of a draft lottery it’s an elimination tournament for the number 1 recruit. Every year at the end of march madness, go to the rosters and select quick edit, sort by vitals, then years pro, and make sure no one in the rosters should be at 6 years pro or higher, as 5 should be the limit (One red shirt year for instance and then 4 years of playing time as a starter/role player). For any player that is above 5 years pro or if you consider them to be a one and done player or in general a player considered to be draft ready, increase their age to the max and tank their ratings so they retire.
•Also looking to put these guys in an actual draft classes to be downloadable, and some of these guys are currently present in the (Yearzero) (NBA version scenario) and will look to add more.

•If you guys decide to check this out, I hope you enjoy! Always looking for feedback as well, much love 🫡

Roster name: Yearzero
Sliders: Yearzero

Thank you to anyone who even took a second out of their day to check this out, it means so much. Made this as an alternative using player DNA for those who didn’t want to start out with a scenario

-2k Scenario name: Yearzero

Don’t think anyone would be interested in this, it’s probably kinda lame but just wanted to share it for fun. It’s basically just a completely fictional multiverse nba league that I have constructed. I’ve always been enamored with fictional type rosters because I originally started doing this around like nba 2k16 as a kid, but some of the older aged players in this file are based on my NBA 2k23 myleague. Since I didn’t want to abandon those cool players in the rosters, I figured why not just remake them for every new 2k game, and progressively add in more guys each time to continue storylines and build the lore essentially lol. It’s definitely tedious though 😬.

The players in these files are meticulously crafted with specific tendencies, signatures, badges, play types, potential caps, and hot zones that correspond with their ratings, since most of the time 2k has really weird tendency ratings for auto generated guys that often don’t match with their ratings. It’s a pretty diverse set of players as well because aesthetically I try to ensure they don’t all appear the same as most auto generated guys do, and they all have specific personalities and durability ratings that make them unique. For the coaching staffs, all of the head coaches for each team are also fictional and they have specific proficiencies, coaching tendencies, and badges that make them unique. Regarding the other staff positions i didn’t mess with it too much. I also have the draft class that I created, which is in the setup.

For the league settings and gameplay sliders, I used PopBoy as the base but I made some alterations based on what I prefer for gameplay, so feel free to change it if you give my scenario a go.

It’s not perfect though, i’m still working on tendencies specifically, there might be some big men that shoot mid ranges when it’s not their specialty. Also for contracts and cap space, it is definitely wonky as there are a lot of funky contracts or certain guys don’t have any bird years when they actually should. I’m also working on exporting all of the player DNA to make it an actual roster in the main menu along with the scenario.
If you guys are interested, you’re welcome to give it a try, i’m probably the only person interested in this type of stuff but it’s fun for me i guess 😭😭.
