Goal: Finish the career of LeBron James
So this is my second attempt at a story here on the forums. My last (Mike Budenholzer's career story) actually never really even took off the ground before I lost interest due to the game giving me stat errors. Seeing a new resurgence on the boards made me decide to jump in!
I am doing a similar goal as I had last time, which I have accomplished on 2K14 (not on the forums), which is finish the career of LeBron James. The way this story will work, I am going to play all 82 games on 2K playing only as LeBron James. It's going to be daunting and long, but I doubt I'll post all of them just to keep my sanity and not get burnt out. The aim of every game I post will be to bring a real-life flavor plus a box score update as I can. The story will be over when I complete the career of LeBron James and he retires in game.
Due to this being close enough to real-life, I'm also going to add in some stipulation set of rules so you guys are clear on how I'm running the MyLeague:
1. Update trades to real life if players are still on the original team by the time the game has caught up to the real-life trade.
2. Update the free agent moves and coach moves if big name moves happen in real life that changes the league (LeBron to LA)
3. Sign any player w/o a championship to a 1-year discount if going on 3-peat (DeMarcus to Warriors on 5 mil/1 yr)
4. Can refuse to trade away any player if the team just won a championship in the game (Kyrie to Celtics)
5. Can refuse any big name leaving in FA if the team just won a championship
Finally, I may throw out some polls if people become interested in this story. Like for example, who to sign or if I should trade or cut someone from the team. Hope to bring something enjoyable this time!
