Play the remainder of the season with your favorite team on NBA 2K

The first is pretty basic and probably the first idea that came into the mind of many basketball fans as soon as it was announced that the NBA was going to be put on hold (suspended) for at least the next 30 days. Picking up where your team left off on your favorite game console (PS4, Xbox One) is going to be quite popular over the next few weeks.

If you have online, you can even connect with a few friends that have some extra downtime in the coming weeks to make it a little more interesting. Hey, and if you’re good enough, perhaps you can even stream the games and, if you’re lucky, you can have another career on your hands!

Keep in mind, it’s probably best to turn injuries off. There’s nothing worse than getting in the groove, heading into the playoffs and then losing LeBron James with a torn ACL for the remainder of the season in a video game.

I’m an injuries off kind of guy myself.
