Thankfully, 2K introduced MyLeague a few years back, and the functionality of NBA 2K21 MT that feature gave my project some life.

However, while MyLeague was and is the premier franchise mode concept on current-gen consoles, the new MyNBA feature took things to the next level. Because of the power of the next-gen consoles (specifically the PS5), it was time to create the Unique Mazique Basketball Association (UMBA).

This was a father and son project I worked on with my youngest. It took a little over two months to complete. It has no NBA representation (beyond what 2K doesn’t allow you to LOLGA remove). There are over 400 fictional players and 30 all-new teams.
