MyNBA puts you in charge of taking an NBA franchise to the promised land. You can run a franchise following the standard rules of today’s league or customize it to your liking. We break down the important aspects of MyNBA and how to find success on the hardwood.

How To Set Up The Franchise

NBA 2K24 gives you the option to choose between five different eras.

  • Modern Era
  • LeBron Era
  • Kobe Era
  • Jordan Era
  • Magic vs. Bird Era

Unless you’re looking to alter history, it’s best to start your franchise in the modern era. For the most authentic NBA experience, you should keep all the Advanced CBA Rules activated. These include the Stepien Rule, Restricted Free Agency, and the salary cap.

Besides modifying settings for the league, you can add Role-Playing Elements for a more complex experience.

Scoring

  • Enabling this option will turn on the feature where you are giving points based on your ability

Skills

  • Enabling this option will turn on the feature where you can upgrade your GM with new special abilities and skills.

Tasks

  • Enabling this option will turn on the feature where you are given takes that you need to try and complete by players and staff.

Morale and Chemistry

  • Enabling this option will turn on the feature that makes the performance of players impacted by their morale and the team’s chemistry.

Draft Storylines (Generated)

  • Enabling this option will create randomized storylines for the generated prospects included in all draft classes.

Draft Storylines (Historic)

  • Enabling this option will create randomized storylines for the real prospects included in the historic draft classes.

If you aren't fond of the extra bells and whistles, at the very least we recommend using Skills, Tasks, and Morale and Chemistry.

Turning Skills on will give you access to a Skill Tree that will give your players attributes boosts or ways to improve the team.

For Tasks, the CFO will give you a goal to achieve in the season which can help boost your status as the general manager.

Throughout the season, the mood of your players can shift if they aren’t receiving ample playing time or if the team suffers. This can positively or negatively impact their performance on the court.

How To Adjust Your Team

Once you’ve decided on the framework of the league, you’ll have to select your team. You can view teams in the Detailed view that shows the Overall, Offense, and Defense team ratings. It will also show the full roster with each player’s skills and contract information.

After you’ve selected the team, you’ll want to download a draft class from the community for the most realistic franchise experience.

Depending on how much money you have, you can access the Change Staff section and review any holes in your coaching staff or front office to improve your team. Candidates for these roles will have a percentage that reflects their interest in joining your team which can help in negotiations.

  • Coaching: Impacts players’ performances on the roster.
  • Scouting: Impacts how much information you know about prospects to draft.
  • Sports Medicine: Impacts frequency of injuries and shortens the healing process.
  • Front Office: Impacts re-signing players, signing free agents, and trades.

You can adjust the team’s game plan and allocation of minutes either separately by team or for the entire league. NBA 2K24 will show a suggested amount and a bar graph that shows the minutes allocation per position.

Coaches will have specific systems that they will want to deploy but you can adjust the system to anything you like. You’ll see the overall system proficiency in a five-star rating system and how the five players on the court will adjust to the system. Each system will provide a description of it with positives and negatives.

How To Develop Talent

MyNBA has a mentorship feature where you can assign a veteran player to mentor another player and pass along their badge progress. After you have the pair, you’ll select up to three badges that you want to pass on to the younger player.

At any point throughout the season, you can access the prospect board and add prospects to your scouting board.

Your scouts will automatically gain information about prospects which will help determine your draft strategy. You can scout specific players or near-draft positions and use mock drafts to get an idea of how the draft will go.

You can select an attribute you’d like each player to focus on improving and if they’ve performed well, they will receive a boost in that category.

When surveying the league for trade targets, you can swiftly get a sense of each team’s goals in the Team Intel section.

There will be a bullet-point breakdown of whether the team is Buying or Rebuilding, if there are any players that the team is targeting, players they want to trade off their roster, and expiring contracts for salary cap purposes.

What To Do During Offseason

Once the season is over, there’s still work to be done to maintain success with your franchise. The first major event is preparing for the NBA Draft. You will have access to the prospects’ results from the NBA Draft Combine as well as the Pre-Draft Workouts to gain more information before the NBA Draft.

During the draft, you can either move forward with drafting a promising rookie or you can elect to trade the pick. However, it’s best to draft young players to keep cheap talent to help fill out your roster.

There are only two rounds in the NBA Draft so be sure to utilize the draft picks.

Finding success in the free agent market is another key part of the offseason. The Moratorium period lasts for three days and during this period you can get free agents to verbally agree to a contract.

However, if you’re playing with budgets activated, you will have a limited amount of funds to spend depending on your cap space.

Players with Cap Holds are placeholders on the team’s cap sheet to prevent the team from having to go over the salary cap to sign their own free agents by using their Bird Rights.

The main free agency period lasts for 12 days and the leftover players who did not sign in the Moratorium period will be available.

If you have a team with a tight salary cap, you can focus on the affordable free agents. Once the free agency period is over, you'll be able to review how your team progressed, either positively or negatively, during the offseason.

After you've finished filling out your roster, it's time to complete another season of your franchise.
