NBA 2K17 News Post



Reddit user upvotd has come up with a pretty brilliant workaround for folks who want to play a season or more with a single player but don't want to go through the grind of the MyCAREER mode.

His solution is to play in MyLEAGUE with a created player with player lock on. Of course, that means you have to manually create a player and place them on a roster -- and then you simply player lock onto your created player. When that happens viola! You have a MyPlayer you can play with and upgrade but without the added cut scenes, gym time, practices, and more of MyCAREER.

How his solution works is to use a spreadsheet system to upgrade your player based on their performance in a way that makes sense (and a way you can work to earn credits in a measureable way).

The system upvotd created allows for player upgrades based on on-court performance. There's even a spreadsheet to make things easier.

You can check out the full YourPlayer system on Reddit right now! Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Regarding player attributes progression, can't you just let him progress automatically like any other player? I find it more realistic than boosting him.
You can choose position lock or player lock.

What's the progress like if you let the AI take care of the MyPlayer progress compared to using the spreadsheet?

I am so glad this thread is getting this much attention. I have been playing this way dating back to the original NBA 2K. I would create a player and Player Lock him. Also making every single roster move and lineup changes as needed. I get the best of both worlds. I get to play as a player and also build a team as a manager. Control the rotations during games. Post up who ever I want too. Iso who ever I want to. It is frikin awesome. The only difference is that I tend to create an established all star. 90 ovr 5'10'' PG (Clone of my 2k14 my career player) and usually take on a team that needs a pg that yr. This yr is the Bucks.

Devs need to pay more attention to this as I've been trying to bring this up to them for a while:

Hopefully it's not hard to code. I don't think it's technically impossible.

How is this a "hack"
 
# 26 Bernte @ 05/18/17 05:15 PM
what happens if the locked player gets subbed our fouled out? do you take over another player?

If the guy you player locked is subbed out or fouled you at locked onto his backup/ whatever position the original guy was at.

If I recall correctly

No, you skip forward to when this player is back in, if you set it to a specific player.
