2K does a great job including NBA legends in their game, but there are some glaring ommissions due to licensing issues. Thanks to an improved create-a-player suite, fans can again begin to close some of those gaps to enrich their MyLeague and MyGM experiences.
Most in the NBA 2K community know that Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller are the two legends most fans wish were officially included in the game. Because of that, Barkley and Miller are usually among the first players you’ll find online once fans start to share their creations.
There aren’t a lot of spot-on creations of Barkley available on YouTube, but the following video gives step-by-step instructions for creating a pretty accurate version of Miller that I created from the 1993-94 season. He was 28 years old and it was his only 50-40-90 (50% from the field, 40% from 3-point range and 90% from the free-throw line) campaign.
The physical attributes are in place, as are the ratings, tendencies and signature shots and dribbles. The creation was done on the PlayStation 4 and uploaded as a Player DNA under the PSN franchiseplay99. Gamers who are one Xbox One, Switch or PC (those who don’t have access to mods) can simply follow the instructions to create the exact same version of Miller.
You can then create a roster and plug Miller onto any Pacers squad, or another team in the game. You can even leave him in the free agent pool and conduct a fantasy draft at the outset of a MyGM or MyLeague with the Pacers legend as a selectable player.
Be on the lookout for more user-created legends for NBA 2K19.
