How To Play "MyCareer" In MyNBA (MyLeague) NBA 2K23 - Have More Control Over Your Team/League!

yeah same, I've been doing this since 2k16. way better than MyCareer in my opinion.

For real though this is the way 2k is supposed to be played... with the freedom and fun of controlling and customising your own league experience and all those cool little features and detail that made 2k the choice for basketball gaming back then... rather than the crazy ass cash grab of mycareer where they take all your money for even the most simple things, Kudos for showing us how to do it 🙏🙏🙏

another thing ive done is placing the created player in a draft class and simulating a season til the draft and that way you get drafted to a random team in the lottery, something ive found fun if you wanna start from a losing franchise and try to elevate them

To take it a step further, create your player than put yourself in a draft class. I would sim at least 2 seasons and with that you can play in a random team. More realistic. Also, you can download a NCAA 2kshare setups so you can play one season of college ball.

[@josephthe18th]

You can even use real players and use them in career mode, i like to choose rookies or upcoming players and you should have an upgrade system which would make it way more realistic. So of ypu score a certain amount of points you get a certain amount of upgrade points. And you should put all league automation on automatic so that you just control your player, and have your players minutes either low or wait untill a player in your position gets injured so you get the oppurtunity to get minutes.

[@RuthlessDK]

The freedom of playing it this way is people can do it however they want!

How would u organize that? To implement the skill upgrades and badges? Sounds great

I earn stars and half stars each game. After 20 whole stars I earn a spin..You put whatever you want in the wheels but I just make premade packages of skills/skill points and build guys up etc...I even have suspensions inside the wheel in which I will suspend players etc..

Each package is built of different attributes. When I land on one. I’m allowed to increase 10 attribute pts to anything in that package. Takes some setting up and lining out but I like it. Keeps me engaged.i also have the raw attributes thrown in the wheel as single upgrades like 3 pt, ball handle etc. you control everything for the most part.. you can widen the gap for how many stars you need, or drop how much you get for each upgrade.. literally just whatever you’d like.
