In recent years, NBA 2K has introduced a feature in its franchise model that allows users to select any team's season from the current date. It is called Start Today.

For example, if you plan to take control of the Chicago Bulls in MyNBA on November 14, your journey will begin with exactly the same records, injuries and schedule as the real Bulls. For players, this is indeed a popular feature, just as they like the cheap 2K21 MT. This seems very common, but since the pandemic broke out and interrupted the 2019-20 NBA season, "Start Today" has not been active for obvious reasons. Many users hope to see it return with NBA 2K21, but unfortunately, the initial nature of the NBA season in real life seems to have brought some obstacles to 2K.

The "start today" option is still displayed in the MyNBA menu of the next-generation NBA 2K21 version, and in the MyLeague menu of the current version of the game. I contacted a 2K representative to find out when or if the feature is available. It seems that 2K wants to add it, but cannot promise to relaunch it this year.

2K representatives, because the game was completed before the NBA finalized the schedule for this season, it could not be released because the entire function is connected to the real NBA ledger. As for adding it as a post-release update, 2K cannot submit it, although it looks like they are working on it. The representative said: "This will be a major task. It is necessary to provide traceability support for real-time products through real-time storage and all these functions."

Yes, given what happened in 2020, "Start Today" is a unique feature of this season, so it can be forgiven for its absence until NBA 2K22, and assuming nothing will interfere with the current and next NBA season. For players, 2K continues to manage the experience of MyNBA, MyTeam, PARK, Pro-Am and Rec in several modes than just using NBA 2K21 MT Coins resources for one franchise mode.
