On the other hand, if you take a guy like Lonzo Ball and assign Rajon Rondo to be his mentor, I can selectively ask Rondo to start teaching Ball how to earn the Ankle Breaker badge, or the Lob City Passer badge, or the Pick Pocket badge, or…you get the idea. Redick to be Joel Embiid’s mentor, it will naturally limit the amount of skills that Embiid is able to learn (Embiid is simply unable to learn some of Redick’s skills due to their very different archetype). Players learn best (but not exclusively) from elder players at their own position (PG, SG/SF, PF/C). It is during this time in our game where they will experience their largest area of growth. Players are at their peak learning capacity during their first 4-5 years in the league. In NBA 2K19, a new Player Mentorships feature has been added that allows you to assign a Mentor to any player on your team in an attempt to customize how that player develops (via his badges). I highly recommend you give this a try! Player MentorshipsĪs young players enter the NBA, savvy teams ensure they have a veteran presence in the locker room to guide the players and ensure they go about things the right way. It was a ton of fun, and made every draft ‘must-watch’ as I waited to see where all the stars would land, knowing those franchises would be changed forever. I recently had what turned out to be one of my all-time favorite MyLEAGUE sessions where I ran through 40 years starting with the 1976 class and loaded each subsequent class all the way through 2017.
I don’t think I need to explain to you how much fun this feature is as you can bring Kareem, Magic, Bird, Jordan, The Admiral, Iverson, Timmy Duncan, rookie LeBron, and so many more back into the NBA for your chance to guide their careers. If you are a fan of the fictional draft classes, we still offer those as well! You have the option of importing one of these classes at the start of every NBA season.
1965 – Gail Goodrich, Rick Barry, Jerry Sloan, and more.1960 – Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and more.In NBA 2K19, we now have pre-created draft classes for the following drafts: Our Import Draft Class feature has silently been a highly used feature for a number of years now. I should probably put this one down lower, but I absolutely geek out over features like this. Photo: NBA 2K19’s all-new NBA Draft features a new look and feel to support the new media analysis engine, which provides detailed feedback about every prospect as they are selected. NBA 2K19’s new NBA draft is a best-in-class showpiece that will keep you entertained all season long! This all sounds like a subtle change, but I have found myself making it all the way through drafts where in years past I would probably make my picks and sim the rest of the draft. Or perhaps he was nothing more than the best player available. Perhaps the player measured with the longest wingspan in the draft. Perhaps the player had the best vertical at the Draft Combine and the team couldn’t pass that up. Perhaps the team had an expiring player at a position they don’t intend to re-sign. As you play through NBA 2K19’s draft, an assortment of media pundits will provide insightful analysis on every player as they get selected, while often providing a little bit of context as to why the current team selected them. In addition to a brand new look and feel, I endeavored to capture that feeling of being educated as I watched the draft unfold in the game this year. When you watch the real NBA draft, you always feel a little more ‘in the loop’ as you are getting expert analysis explaining the strengths and weakness of each player. As I watched the draft experience play out in our game in NBA 2K18, I often felt a sense of confusion as to what this was all about. It’s one of the few days where every team is bristling with hope as ANYTHING can happen.
