NBA 2K17: 8 Most Frustrating Things In MyGM

Think twice before throwing your pad out the window.

I've decided to start anew in My GM last week and turn my favorite team, the Miami Heat - no bandwagoner here, a fan since the Hardaway-Mourning era - into NBA Champions. This goal has eluded me edition after edition, as either they were too good to play with or I got too frustrated with the game itself and my inability to build a competitive team that could simulate its way to the second round of the Playoffs.

This is where you should start playing two or more games in a row in My GM - in the Playoffs, when it matters. That's what we call clutch.

As you can probably guess, My GM didn't go as planned and everything that could go wrong, did. This was really one of my worst performances ever. It reminded me why I sometimes hate My GM and am really angry at myself that I put myself through the painful and time-consuming virtual rebuilding process.

I hope you can relate to, or at least enjoy, my misery.

8. Ridiculous Owner Expectations

At the beginning of the season, the team owner welcomes you and already dishes out his demands. He wants the top 10 rookie to play at least 26 minutes a game. He wants you to acquire a player rated at 87 or higher. He wants the chemistry to stay over 60. He wants you to trade a particular player. And almost always, he wants to stay under the salary cap.

All of these are fine and fairly reasonable... when given out separately. But in (virtual) reality: the rookie is just not that good, the only player that wants to sign with you shares the same position as your best player, the chemistry immediately drops when you trade the player that the owner wanted to leave, and the salary cap does not allow you to make any big moves expected by the owner.

Just make up your mind, man! You want to get me fired after my first season?
