They say that the best way to win in chess is to play a better opponent, and that is how these should be approached.
NBA 2K14 MY TEAM PRO
Anyone can dial down to Pro and Casual mode and win the title with pretty much any team in the game. You can set the sliders to your liking (although the more “realistic” you play the game the more fun you’ll have.
You can play every game, or sim them all. This isn’t something you should rush into to “beat” that’s easy! These will be challenges that will hopefully allow you to enjoy association mode over a period of time, at a pace you choose.
The challenges are all-non specific (they all involve eventually building a title-winning squad, with certain conditions attached, but no time frame is in place. I’m going to present a case for 5 teams, all presented for a different reason, and a challenge packaged with each.
NBA 2K14 MY TEAM FULL
The real fun is to be had in either teams “oozing” talent (to borrow an in-game phrase), taking over (or creating!) a rebuilding team, taking over a team with a lot of cap space (currently or in the next offseason), or taking over a team full of tradable assets so you can build YOUR dream team. If you’ve only ever played as a top-tier team you’ll probably be amazed at some of the high-value talent you can acquire by packaging up some players and a 1st round pick. There is an added “disadvantage” (if you can call playing as a title contending team a disadvantage!) in that your draft picks are practically worthless, adding little currency to package up with the bad player(s) in your squad. Some are stuck with a lot of 1 star backup players, most of whom you’ll probably want to trade up (although many are worth keeping there’s an idea for a future article!). So, who to pick? Some teams (Nets, Bulls, Heat, Thunder) are full of talent and easily capable of winning the title, they are top loaded with talent in the starting positions and well into Luxury Tax with very little (or none in the case of the Nets) room for bringing in new players. This may be something I revisit later as the players and teams change over the year (both in the NBA and reflected in NBA2K).
NBA 2K14 MY TEAM SERIES
If you’re anything like me you’ll want to try a few different teams over the course of the year (until NBA2K15!), and just want to find a reason to play as any given team, hopefully this series of posts should give you some ideas (there will also be a summary at the end). So, with My Career out-of-the-way (something I will return to at a later date), this feature will lay out a few challenges for you to try in association mode. Of course, this post isn’t about My Career mode, it’s about Association Mode. Personally I’d recommend getting picked by the 76ers just to hear the Santa quote!).If you want to land straight on a (real life) title chasing team you want to play badly in the the Rookie Showcase (getting fouled out by deliberately fouling is a shortcut through the process and a good way to get interviewed by the bottom 3 teams), although OKC have a pick at 12 if you’re a SG or C (their weaker positions), and don’t want to “tank” your way into a bad draft pick.
