I mean this is 2K where you can essentially and subtly manipulate the league to your favor by playing the games manually, healing your injured stars, injuring opponents on Edit Player, etc. But what pushed me to do this was the fact that I just simmed games, and didn't bother manipulating odds in my favor resulting in thrilling situations where I had to see whether I would win or not. I made up stories in my head as to how the league was playing out which was fun. So yeah, every game was simulated except for one (I'll point it out below if you keep reading).
Previous Season:
The Pittsburgh Force, after a promising run the previous year with their season ending by taking the 1st seeded powerhouse Atlanta Hawks to 6 games, shocking the league. The franchise still in its infancy, has already stacked young talent primed for a possible dynasty.
Leading this team that season was their rookie Oliver Svensson, who not only landed the Rookie of the Year award, but also earned a place in the 3rd All-NBA team. He was backed up by sophomore Kai Iwahashi, who averaged 19.8 PPG, 5 RPG and 4 APG. The two ran an unorthodox PnR where Iwahashi would play PF and Svensson on C, punishing teams who ran traditional bigs. Other young talent included the two-headed monsters in the C position: 7’3’’ Dakari King and 7’7’’ Julio Watson, 3nD extraordinaire Melo Melo, the ultimate microwave Scotty Holland, hustle player Kevon Looney, and the serviceable Jamie Starks. Svensson had this to say after Game 6 against the Hawks:
“We’re only in our 3rd year in the league and we’ve shown we can compete. I mean it’s my first season, but we know we can hang with the best.”
It was obvious Pittsburgh was lacking a starter-level PG, which was promptly exposed by the Hawks in that series. Trae Young completely manhandled the opposition, averaging 30 PPG with 50% FG and 43% in 3P%. The rotation of Jamie Starks (who is a role player at best), Milos Teodisic (who was basically ancient at this point) and Scotty Holland (who is more of a SG than PG) wasn’t cutting it. Fortunately, the overseas contract of Pablo Gonzales, a rising star with the Spanish League, is expiring and is looking to transition to the NBA.
With excitement and hope, the Force await the next season.
Next Season:
The team barely made any changes other than drafting the Russian Artem Gornev and J.J. Childress, resigning some key players and awaiting the arrival of the Spaniard Pablo Gonzales (who was drafted 2 seasons ago) in order to maintain continuity and chemistry.
The season began with festive anticipation...only to be quelled almost immediately.
The team would lose the first 4 games. They would notch some wins here and there but losses were accumulating and losing streaks became commonplace. Team chemistry took a hit. It was even clear from the eye test and body language after each loss that they weren’t gelling together. They couldn’t find the momentum.
Iwahashi has already stated that he intends to move on once his contract ends next season, showing frustration with the piling losses. Kevon Looney has also expressed disappointment with the team's current state and has asked for a trade. He would later be traded to Miami in exchange for the undrafted Hamidou Doumbouya for what essentially was a quick player swap (both players were unhappy with their roles on their respective teams). With 2 weeks before the trade deadline, fans began to speculate if the team would begin the tanking phase and blow-up the roster.
Trade Deadline:
20-33.
This was the record of the Pittsburgh Force before the trade deadline, tied for the 3rd lowest in the East.
What everyone didn’t know was this single trade on this fateful day would result in something magical.
In an out-of-nowhere-RKO-esque trade, the Force sent Iwahashi to the Kings for the 30-year-old Buddy Hield. Everyone was scratching their heads to the logic in the decision-making involved in this trade.
“We couldn’t find any proper suitors, which was baffling,” The Pittsburgh GM said.
“We were leaning on just keeping him [Iwahashi] and see how it plays out in the offseason...that is until we got an offer from the Sacramento. We were running out of time so we just decided to pull the trigger. Hield still has 2 more years in his contract, he might like it here.”
With the addition of Hield, head coach Kevin McHale decided to change up their system into a more post-oriented style.
“In one of our scrimmages, Buddy [Hield] and Olly [Svensson] began going through plays centered around [Svensson] going down low. They were unstoppable. I didn’t notice it before but he’s actually pretty effective when he posts up, high or low. He’s a good passer, can shoot over just about anyone and can move really well for his size. Surround him with shooters and you have a recipe for success. Plus, Buddy is a great scorer himself in just about any situation: spot-ups, off the dribble, in transition, etc. They’re a good match.”
With a revamped system and playstyle, the Force would go 24-5, finishing 44-38. Their basic strategy involved having shooting threats around Svensson. The trade for Doumbouya somehow paid off as he was a threat from outside (he averaged 37% in 3P%), can rebound and defend. They would rain opponents from 3.
The Force barely edged out the Bulls by 1 game to land the 7th seed. They would face off against the Hawks once again in the 1st round.

Despite the injury to Julius Randle, the Hawks still had the talent advantage over the Force. Derrick Favors would replace him in the starting line-up.

The two teams traded wins, eventually leading to a Game 7. Pittsburgh would emerge victorious. With Gonzales’ stout defense, they were able to limit Trae Young to 24 PPG with 33% in 3P%. Although they weren’t able to contain everyone, Pittsburgh won through the sheer volume of 3’s they threw. Gordon Hayward was surprised to hear how many 3PA they gave up.
“They were like what, averaging almost 50 threes as a team? Wow.”
The next opponent were the 3rd seeded Boston Celtics. Like the Hawks, they were also stacked in talent: Walker, Tatum and Brown just to name a few. In similar fashion, the number of threes Pittsburgh attempted and made completely blew Kemba Walker and co. out of the water. The Force won in 6 games with all those wins involving embarrassing blowouts.

On the other side of the bracket, the Bulls led by Lance Lane and Edmund Finley, shock the 76ers in a sweep. They would take Steph Curry and the Magic in a thrilling 7-game series where Chicago would end up prevailing.
And in a somewhat humorous outcome, the 7th and 8th seed would square-off in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Despite being the 8th seed, the Bulls still had superior talent on paper, they were actually expected to be on a higher seeding but somehow dropped. Experts agreed that the Force might have used all their luck and eventually end up losing.

This series would also reach another Game 7. After the heroics from Holland who exploded for 30 points off the bench in 20 minutes, the Force would wound up winning, granting them the ticket to the NBA Finals.
At this point, Memphis was already waiting who had handily defeated the 7th seed Zion-led Pelicans in 5 games. Experts would bring up how the young, inexperienced Force might be exhausted since they never slowed down and kept their fast pace since the regular season. This is combined with 2 series ending with Game 7’s and how hard they fought to get through superior (talent-wise) teams.

And once again, defying all expectations, the 7th seeded Pittsburgh demolish Memphis in a sweep and win the Larry O’Brien trophy, now being the lowest seeded team to win the title. In one game, Julio Watson breaks the playoff record for most blocks in a game with 12, making this playoff run even more special (link: https://i.imgur.com/JzYprI5.png) (That was the only game I played manually, it was fun swatting shots left and right).
“Everything about this run was special, no one ever saw us coming,” Kevin McHale said.
“I mean, no one on this team is an All-Star but we all played like one for the whole postseason.”
