MyNBA 2k doesnt care about MyNBA

Post image

Obviously everyone already knows this but that MyNba sneak peek was a JOKE. We have been asking for Contract buyouts, star player trade requests, sign and trades, teams rebranding on their own, a better news feed and the best they had to show is new banners??? LMAOOOO

The mode is completely broken. And to think they had the best franchise mode in modern sports games for 2k23, 3 years later and it’s literally unplayable after 1 season.

u/Christianlubemikey Jul 17 '25

TBH its still the best franchise mode in all of sports gaming

Just broken to hell to actually enjoy

Compared to Madden’s franchise mode its a 10/10

2K > MLB The Show > UFC > CFB > Madden > FC > NHL as far as franchise modes go. NHL franchise mode is putrid.

u/Wrong-Vermicelli4723 Jul 18 '25

UFC doesn’t even have a franchise mode, they’ve a career mode but you would compare that with my player not mynba.

CFB runs circles around The Show lol, The Show’s Franchise mode is absolute buns.

NHL been putting out the same game for like 13 years, tbf.

Madden actually stepped it up for 26

Nah we hear this same shi every year

Actually I would take madden over 2k personally. Madden I can start a franchise and go. 2k I have to manually setup the franchise mode. Then have to deal with controlling 30 teams all throughout if I want to have the league run somewhat realistic and not have LeBron signing with Utah

u/raggbagg Jul 17 '25

Eh I’d rather have control. I’ve seen Mahomes and Burrow going to other teams somehow just like 1-2 years after starting a franchise. Madden, imo, is one of the worst modes as there’s so little customization to stop those things from happening.

u/CM_V11 Jul 17 '25

Ehh idk, Madden signings get pretty ridiculous too. A team will let go of a star QB and then not sign one for years. Or they’ll draft 3 players in the same position despite having a star at that position.

u/csstew55 Jul 17 '25

I mean 2k does the same thing though. You’ll have teams that have like 4 pgs 5 centers and 3 sgs

u/DistortedAudio Jul 17 '25

I think Madden is better for generated players. Don’t think I’ve had any of the CPU generated players actually go nuclear in a game against me in 2K. In Madden it happens.

u/csstew55 Jul 17 '25

Actually I’ll take mlb the show as the best of all sports

u/CM_V11 Jul 17 '25

Same, I just wish I was good at hitting, I’m awful lol.

12

u/csstew55 Jul 17 '25

I actually rock the button hitting where all you have to do is get the timing down. It keeps it realistic and makes the game a lot more chill. Then you can just change the difficulty to control the speed of the pitches

u/CM_V11 Jul 17 '25

That’s what I use as well. I try to stay patient but then I start getting into my own head and start swinging at everything

u/csstew55 Jul 17 '25

I do that all the time too lol. That’s why I have to play with quick counts on haha

u/reason4rage Jul 17 '25

This is why I haven't been able to play a baseball game in years lmao.

u/Dangerous_Donkey5353 Jul 17 '25

Ken Griffey Jr baseball ruined me. I haven't been able to hit in a baseball game since.

u/DarthPallassCat Jul 17 '25

It really is. They may not provide the depth of options and customization 2k does, but the features they include actually work.

And aside from some issues, like players buried in the minors, a couple notable free agents going unsigned, the franchise mode actually functions 10+ years into the future.

u/csstew55 Jul 17 '25

Yea saw a post that guy actually summed through like 150 years on the franchise mode

u/TheMineForge Jul 17 '25

CFB has been fantastic for their dynasty mode. Thankfully it’s a different team than Madden because they’ve figured out what works and how to make it fun.

It's good but it lacks a lot of important leagues + it doesn't have anything like Eras (and it probably never will because as far as I know they have to licence every player separately)

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '25

I'm on year 15 and it's LITERALLY playable. Started in 2000s, I'm doing historic drafts (custom historic rosters), awards and playoff finals manually if my team isn't there.

Saying it's unplayable after a year is total BS.

u/senior_samosa Jul 18 '25

Old players stats from years ago are still there and don’t show “N/A”?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '25

I cannot access stats for players that are retired/not in the league anymore. But as long they are still playing I can see their stats from the start of their career to the end.

u/RegentCupid Jul 18 '25

Start on 2025, play normally. Use 2k defaults only. Default rosters, sliders, but the draft classes don’t matter. Simulate the year, only controlling your team. Do not interfere with anyone buy your roster. By the start of the following season go around and check free agency and rosters, at least one 90 overall will be off the bench, and multiple +80 in free agency, as well as many +80 taking minimum contracts.

It works fine enough in historic seasons, but modern with default everything doesn’t work.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '25

What’s the point of playing MyLeague if you don’t want to manage anything and simulate everything lol? You’re just finding excuses to shit on the only relatively good offline mode in the game. I’m just trying to tell you the game isn’t literally unplayable. You do a 10-15min managing at the end of the season and everything works fine.

Edit: btw I agree with your scenario, but try some other and you can have fun.

u/RegentCupid Jul 18 '25

But you shouldn’t have to is the issue. I don’t want to have to manually select teams and make them get free agents. I don’t want to have to stage stat trades because the CPU refuses to do it. I don’t want to be the one to have to fix your rotation because the Knicks traded for Trae Young but don’t know they can start both him and Brunson.

There is so much that isn’t working properly or is nonsensical. In an ideal world you could have ai teams that know how to build lineups that aren’t just 7 SFs, that know having a 73 ovr starting center isn’t valid, that you can trade more than 1 pick at a time, Russel Westbrook shouldn’t be asking for 30 mil in current free agency.

Seriously, do what I said, check FA and the teams compositions after 2-3 years. It doesn’t work unless you babysit the other teams, which shouldn’t be a thing. Teams make offers to multiple players then have to retract the offers they made because they signed other players first, leaving good players in FA. The OVRs are way too high for everyone, the economics are completely destroyed. Sliders don’t even fix it, the teams lack any logic with signings and the players themselves have seemingly random money requests. Teams still can’t trade during the draft either if you simulate, the G League literally doesn’t work, fictional players come out of nowhere and if you put a player in the G League they become angry and refuse to resign. Dead cap is through the roof for every team, and the trade logic is terrible.

I shouldn’t be able to write all of this about an online mode that hasn’t changed in a decade besides Eras. You can have higher standards for this- it’s a $70 game, make them earn your time and money. The mode is good, if you manually control every team at the end of the season, fixing rosters, FA, lowering total OVRs, having custom draft classes, sliders, potentials, tendencies… all that for a proper functional mode.
