NBA 2K18 Vs. NBA Live 18 - Which Game Is Better?
3. MyGM Vs. Franchise
The new version of MyGM, story-driven and over the top, is a rather frustrating experience, but not to the point of being worse than the Franchise.
Quite frankly, the NBA Live 18 team management game mode is awful, as making trades, signing free agents and drafting players are so oversimplified that there's simply no fun in modifying your roster.
The salary cap seems to exist only to frustrate, as being under it doesn't allow a team to acquire any players, which isn't quite how it works. That's why, even though NBA 2K18's MyGM mode is now worse than in the previous editions, it forces you to deal with an idiotic owner and his manipulative son, it's still light years ahead of the Franchise.
MyGM allows you to scout players, hire coaches and trainers, or sign players to two-way contracts! Irritating story aside, the 2K version of NBA team management is very real and still extremely addictive.
The Winner: NBA 2K18
