We will play 4-6 games per week. We will open all games but to keep league close together each team will have to have played a certain number of games before they precede. (see below example)
Season starts whenever we fill up (gives us time to edit rosters and get a good slider set in stone as well as get owners used to new game and new controls, plays, etc)


We will play 4-6 games per week. We will open all games but to keep the league close together with each team. You will have to have played a certain number of games before in a period of time to precede without having any games simmed. So for example, let's say everyone needs to play between 6-10 games within a 14 day period (2 weeks). If you are at 5 with no excuses or trying to get games in we will sim to get you to at the very least the 6 game mark. This will also be a summed game that will be a loss. This keeps the league close together. After 1 warning you will need to catch up in the next 2 week period to be above the minimum amount of games played. This way we don't have guys by the end of the season as half the league has played 45 games and we have half the league at 25 games played and waiting to start the playoffs. There is nothing more annoying than that.

One thing we like to do here as a league and as commissioners is to have each team owner play with their favorite team or a team where they come from or were born. We have found this to be a secret to success with keeping players in leagues for the long term if they have an affiliation with the city or team they are playing with.

Im 17 years old and we want a good group of adults who are respectful to each other and just want to have a fun and very competitive league. We hope we can get and keep a good group of guys that we can carry into future season's of 2k every year. There will be 3 commissioners (see asterisk below) in this league to assure things go smoothly. We will all work on a good slider set once the game comes out. We always listen to the league owners and all suggestions.

We don't want to have to have rules in place as we just want you to play real basketball you see on TV, but we obviously have to have a few rules set in place to avoid confrontation and confusion on ones definition of SIM to another. These are always open to discussion.


More Basic Rules

1) Points in the Paint. If you're mixing up your shot selection this shouldn't be an issue. Fast break and second chance points will be deducted from this total. We are not strict on this as obviously if you are playing against someone who is giving you the drive or can not stay in front of you then you take what the defense gives you and from game to game it might vary. But we do expect to look at the shot chart and see some sort of balance with mid range and 3 pt shots taken.

2) Riding Stars. Its ok to get your stars involved but shot/scoring distribution should be evenly spread. The 5 year NBA average for FGA one player takes is 22 per game -- thats not including shots the player was fouled on. If we can keep our shot attempts around that number, no one can complain about gunning with stars. If the game goes into overtime or the player is clearly on fire, this rule is lifted. Obviously if a guy is hot you feed him, and of coursethere might be games where someone shoots over 30x but the AVERAGE over a period and number of games should not exceed 30 shots per game.

3) 3 point attempts. The 5 year NBA average for team attempts is 27 per game for a team. Lets keep it around those numbers. We will cap it at 36 attempts per game (9 per quarter), but If the game goes to overtime or a player gets hot you may exceed the max. Obviously it's a game by game thing and really we are looking at your average 3 pt attempts for a season to be around the 27 attempts mark and not 36 per game.

4) Rotation. Players may only play their primary or secondary positions. Starters must sit at some point in the game -- starters are to average no more than 43 minutes per game.

5) On Ball Defense. You can play on ball or off ball. We have no rules here. To each their own. We don't want 30 teams who all play the same.

6) Zone defense. Should be used sparingly, not as a base. Once you are in the zone you must control the player closest to the ball. You can only use zone for 6 minutes max per game.

7) Pressing/Traps. Are only allowed with 4 minutes or less left in the 4th quarter. The offensive team is allowed to push the tempo as much as they'd like in this scenario.
