So I’ve been bored, and looking for something to sink my teeth into while I wait it out for a PS5. I decided to go back go NBA, but I’m not wasting my money on 2K21, so I’m firing up 2K20! I took to Twitter to help me decide on a team other than my usuals of the New York Knicks or Toronto Raptors.I’m leaving it to download and install overnight, help me pick my team that I’ll mostly keep in tact and if lucky get half way through a season with for an NBA 2K20 franchise:

Team: Atlanta Hawks
Season Length: 28 games
Quarter Length: 4 minutes
SIM Quarter Length: 5 minutes
Game Difficulty: All-Star
My plan is to not make too many unrealistic roster moves, and to keep it as true to the team I started with as possible. This is the roster to kick off the season:
Point Guards -
- T Young
- J Teague
- B Goodwin
Shooting Guards -
- K Huerter
- D Bremby
- C Brown Jr
Small Forwards -
- D Hunter
- C Reddish
- T Graham
Power Forwards -
- J Collins
- S Labissiere
- V Carter
Centres -
- C Capela
- D Jones
- B Fernando
- D Dedmon

MID SEASON RECORD:
8 W - 6L (5th in East)
Two games in and I can tell that finding the right difficulty to play on is going to be tough. Play on All-Star? Dominate and win by 21. Play on Superstar? Get blown out and lose by 34. After trying it out, it seems the Suns are just bad. I went back to All-Star and lost vs the Lakers, and squeaked out a win vs the Pelicans, both of which are better teams than the Hawks.
Playing this has been fun. I only engaged in trade talks with teams who started them with me. This lead to two pickups - Blake Griffin and Buddy Hield. Because of this I was forced to get used to some newer players in the game, and adjust my style to their strengths.
The “big three” of the team half way is Young, Collins & Hield. I’m hitting half way at 5th in the east on a 3 game winning streak, with the last two being pretty big blow outs.
Will I ever finish this season? Maybe? I suck at keeping at these things and not moving on to a new mode or game. Plus if I luck out and get my hands on a PS5, there’s a high chance I never load up this game again.
