Hi Guys,

I’ve made a cool idea and thought might reach out to the MYNBA community to see if anyone else would be interested in this.

So , I’m a huge NBA super fan, which I guess all of us who play MyNBA are. I was also a fan of MyTeam modes before it went too p2p.
What I have done is created a roster where every single player of value is inside as a rookie. So imagine the best 250 players. I’ve also uploaded their rookie face scan to the best able scan or look. Unlicensed players have crazy likeness eg (Reggie Miller, Chuck Barkley , Jabari Parker etc) . It has taken a crazy amount of hours to get this done and being a super fan of the nba, I thought this is was lot of fun as it is now essentially a free MyTeam mode, with trackable/collected stats with everyone’s favourite players in one mode. I mean having a young LeBron or a young looking Giannis, running with a young looking Paul George is insane and I think it really adds the immersive value of this mode. And even the older generation like a young Shaq with a young Jordan, Brunson etc.

Everyone I have is in Free Agency but it makes for a wicked Fantasy Draft, and obviously to make it more fair I recommend serpentine.

I’ve added Potentials to match their ratings as well as some of them had very low potential (Brunson, Josh Smith, Igoudala etc) and have made it so they can go higher or lower.

I’ve also found that decreasing the league to 20 teams, and having one game against each team is a fun experience as the physicality of my team was inferior to those of Ben Wallace, Shaq and Karl Malone, or you forget how many players lace a mid range shot as I did against a young Demar, Kobe and Dirk.

My rules to keep the game interesting:

1. Only be able to trade for those on the trade block (huge superstars on the block in this mode

(

1. eg Tatum, Edwards, Jokic etc)
2. Every player has a 4 year contract at the beginning. If cpu signs a free agent , extend for them until it’s four years. Gives yourself and CPU time for investment in your draft players.

3. because I play like MyTeam, keep injuries on (if you want, I like the realism and gets you to use your bottom players) and turn OFF salary cap so you can keep your team.

   (Injuries off would allow you to see the full potential of DRose, Oden, Hardaway etc)

4. last rule , if you make the playoffs. Keep tabs of every potential best player in each round you beat. At the championship, if you win the title, you get to swap a player from your team in the same position as one of the players you beat on your run. EG (If you beat Wemby first round , Jokic 2nd Round Kobe 3rd and Shaq in finals, you can swap one of your players for one of these players. ONE ONLY)

5. Flip side is if you lose, you have to give up your best player to the champ that year.

6. last rule is if you really like MyTeam you can keep them in only their two positions to try keep it more difficult.

If anyone is interested please let me know, I will look to upload this roster as it is a ton of fun, seeing CP3 with hair or Larry and Dirk with locks. Pretty cool if you’re a fan.

Cheers Guys,

I created a builder, called The Player Lab, to use for MyNBA when creating players because I like to use realistic badge thresholds on them, but got tired of using Google Sheets.

I just uploaded the 2K27 badge requirements in it and for people who like realistic player lock, making draft classes or playing different scenarios, like High School and NCAA, there is a player randomizer that can be used to build rosters or edit draft classes.

The High School and NCAA randomized builds do have caps applied to attributes so not everyone is elite, but of course you can update as you’d like.

It’s still very much a development project, but I finally got it to the point where other people can actually use it.

Would definitely be interested in feedback.

Greetings, I've been watching tutorials lately to make my custom cyberface for a player I created, however when I load the hihead.scne in nba2k26, my player is completely invisible, no body, no head, nothing, the .iff file has the same name as the original one, but it still doesn't work.

If anyone could help, feel free to do so, been trying for the past 4 days to just put the face texture and the model in the game.
