NBA 2K18 My League Ep. 5: First Win! [Realistic NBA 2K18 My League Expansion]

The NBA 2K18 My League series with our expansion team continues as we are looking for our first season victory. Things slowly start to take a turn for the better and our expansion team improves steadily from game to game. Against the Oklahoma City Thunder we are even able to force a last-second finish in an incredibly close game. We have a look at the remaining games in November and then look at the current season standings and statistics before making a small roster move to set us up for the next episode. In this fifth episode of the NBA 2K18 My League Expansion series we finally earn our first victory against the New York Knicks! The win seems to boost the team to new heights, as we win four of the next ten games, including a nail biter against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Team morale improves, we witness a few great performances and wrap up the month of November. We also have to veto our first CPU trade to prevent the Timberwolves from screwing up their finances. With 23 games under our belt we take a closer look at the regular season standings, some of the major injuries that have occurred so far and also at the league leaders in points, rebounds and assists. Before starting the next month we send Sheldon Mac down to the G-League and open a spot in the rotation. And with the new two-way contracts in NBA 2K18, we can already scout the market for a suitable free agent… ► Click here for the full NBA 2K18 My League expansion team playlist to watch all episodes of my My League series:    • Pete Completes: NBA 2K18 My League Mode Ex...   ► Subscribe to my channel for more content for NBA 2K18 and NBA 2K17, as well as Completionist Let’s Plays and Walkthroughs:    / @petecomplete   Facebook: https://fb.me/PeteCompleteOfficial Twitter:   / pete_complete   This NBA 2K18 video is part of my NBA 2K18 My League Expansion series. During the series, we will manage all aspects of an NBA expansion team in NBA 2K18’s My League mode, trying to keep things as realistic as possible. We will not abuse NBA 2K18’s trade logic in My League mode or make more than only a handful of roster moves each season. Instead, we will slowly but steadily try to improve the expansion team with players who fit in and can add something to the roster. The ultimate goal of this NBA 2K18 My League Expansion series is to win the NBA championship with our expansion team, but before we can celebrate there is a lot of hard work to do. My original plans were to play through NBA 2K18 My GM mode with an expansion team, but after 2K added a storyline to My GM mode, choosing an expansion team is no longer possible there. Instead, we have to stick to My League mode, which sadly lacks a few of the interesting features that My GM mode had. Still, My League offers greater customization and control, especially when it comes to trading (and keeping the CPU away from completing borderline insane roster moves). NBA 2K18 is a basketball simulation video game developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Sports. It is the 19th installment in the NBA 2K franchise and the successor to NBA 2K17. It was released worldwide on September 15, 2017, for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. Several game modes are included, such as My Career, where the player creates a customizable player and plays through their career, My GM and My League, both franchise modes where the player controls an entire organization, and My Team, where the player creates a team to compete against other players' teams. All NBA 2K18 gameplay for this part of the NBA 2K18 My League Expansion series was recorded on the PC at 1080p.
