How to Run a Successful NBA 2K9 Online League

10:25 AM - January 29, 2009 by RaychelSnr

In recent years, one of NBA 2K’s most prized assets has been its interface for online leagues. Although not as popular as the ranked games, true NBA 2K gamers love to play in online leagues. The league I manage, Sim City Leagues, has enabled me to really reap the benefits of the online leagues over the past two years. The league is currently in its 10th season, with each and every campaign being played out as it should be.

However, despite the success of a few leagues, finding a good online league in NBA 2K can be quite a struggle. We have all joined those public leagues that have never even started, let alone been completed. Other gamers have probably been added as "replacements" to leagues, only to get in and have no games to play. And some have even ventured to various forums and started those "looking for a sim league" threads, only to have them bumped all the way down to the second page within minutes.

It is difficult to get in a good online league because there are not many good ones to join. Nevertheless, if there were more dedicated leagues out there, gamers could waste less time tirelessly looking for them. So with that in mind, the following is a guide on how to start up and maintain a good online league.

I've been running a succesful 2K NBA league non stop since NBA 2K5. We are finishing up our 15th season.
The key has been having responsible league members that communicate, schedule and play the games on time. We run one a week, since most of our guys are older, busy with families, work etc.
I have had to do a lot of weeding out over the seasons for guys not playing or following a simple set of rules. Right now I have solid core group of 9.
In a 2-3 weeks we'll be starting a new season with a draft.

Mike, Do you still have the league forming. I have been BEGGING for a league since 06, but none seem to pan out. I'm hoping you have a spot and it is as good as you say it is. My gamertag is Cowboyz4eva817. Thanks
