I hope MyGM is more challenging in 2k18. It was too easy for me. After 3 seasons I was NBA champions with the Suns. I had a dynasty that lasted almost 10 years.

Here 2K go again. I stopped playing myplayer because it stopped being MY player and turned it into some trash, horribly, written narrative and now they are ruining the only thing I actually bought their game for. For fukks sake man. Some of us just want to play the game the way we want without all the forced non sense and bullshyt. How tf did we get here?

Free Agent Moratorium

Any NBA fan knows the nearly week-long NBA Moratorium period is one of the most exciting times of the year. Rumors are flying on where free agents are going to land. Players are coming to verbal agreements with teams they intend to sign with once the moratorium is lifted. NBA 2K18 introduces a 3-day Free Agent Moratorium period prior to the start of Free Agency. While players can’t officially be signed during the moratorium, you CAN come to binding (no DeAndre Jordan moments, sorry) verbal agreements with players, whose contract offers will be finalized as soon as proper Free Agency starts. This is a fast-paced, dynamic time period that will quickly weed out teams who, as Isaiah Thomas would say, aren’t willing to bring out the Brinks truck.

International Draft Prospect Stashing

The ‘Draft-and-Stash’ is a strategy employed by a number of teams when drafting players, particularly later in the draft. NBA 2K18 introduces this feature for the first time. Select international prospects in draft classes will be flagged with the number of years they will remain ‘overseas’ before they are free from their current professional contract and are eligible to sign with your team. This will create additional intrigue in the draft as there now has to be valuation considerations with respect to how many years the player will be unavailable before he can sign. I’ve really been enjoying this particular addition to the game, as it spices up one of my favorite periods of the NBA season!

Trading Draft Rights

During the real NBA Draft, it’s very common for a team to draft a player, only for the rights to that player (as he has not yet signed a contract) to be traded to another team later in the draft. In previous iterations of NBA 2K, you were unable to trade (or trade for) a player that was selected in the current in-progress draft. NBA 2K18 introduces the ability for draft rights to a player to be traded, after the player has already been selected by a team. From personal experience, I can say this feature makes the drafting experience a lot more dynamic and exciting!

Cap Holds/Renounced Rights

New to NBA 2K18 is the concept of Cap Holds and Renouncing Rights to a player. In the NBA, a free agent continues to count as team salary towards your salary cap until they are signed (by your team or elsewhere). This placeholder salary against your salary cap is known officially as a ‘Cap Hold’. Known in some circles as the ‘Michael Redd Rule’, this concept closed a loophole allowing a team to use all their available cap space before re-signing their own free agents. If you know that you are not going to re-sign a given player, you will have the ability to Renounce your rights to that player. Renouncing a player removes the salary hold against your team’s salary cap, but this also forfeits your Bird rights for the player (if applicable). Fortunately, with our free agent setup, we have made it easy for you to renounce the rights to players on a daily basis, as the free agency period progresses. While this may sound a little intimidating at first, I’ve found that it greatly increases your flexibility and the strategy when trying to land free agents. All in the name of authenticity!

Improved Draft Class Generation

We spent a fairly considerable chunk of time early in development this year re-thinking how we generate prospects, particularly with respect to their player types. Looking back on 2K17, we just weren’t satisfied with the breadth of players coming out of the generated draft classes. With NBA 2K18, players now have a more appropriate spread of attributes and tendencies with respect to their given player type. Our new system allows us to more easily update the generation templates outside of the typical monolithic patch release, meaning we can continue to update this logic all season long based on your feedback.

Player Create Added To MyLEAGUE

NBA 2K18 adds the ability for you to add new created players to your already ongoing MyLEAGUE saves (even midseason). In previous years, all players needed to exist in the roster file prior to starting the game mode. For those of you who like to play along with the real season and keep your roster up-to-date, you will now be able to create and add free agents to the league as needed.
