Welcome to the VBA ProSim League

The Future of Competitive NBA 2K

​

The Virtual Basketball Association (VBA) ProSim League is an NBA-style MyPLAYER draft league owned and operated by Renaissance Gaming. Unlike traditional online leagues, the VBA is designed to simulate the complete professional basketball experience, combining competitive gameplay with real franchise management, player development, and long-term league growth.

​

Each franchise is led by a dedicated Governor (Owner/GM) and supported by coaches who recruit, develop, and manage their roster throughout the season.

​

Our long-term vision is to build a sustainable esports ecosystem where players, coaches, and franchise owners all share in the league's success.

 

Recruiting Map

The Recruiting Map is designed to help coaches and players find the best fit based on geography and time zones.

Recruiting Zones are not restrictions. They are simply a recruiting aid to help teams:

• Find players in similar time zones

• Schedule practices more easily

• Improve communication

• Build regional rivalries

• Discover nearby talent

Teams are free to recruit players from any Recruiting Zone. Many successful teams will feature players from multiple regions.

The Recruiting Map exists to make recruiting smarter—not to limit it.

 

The Franchise Model

Every VBA franchise operates similarly to a professional sports organization.

Each franchise has:

• A Governor (Owner/GM)

• Coaches and Captains

• A drafted or assigned player roster

• Team sponsors

• Payroll responsibilities

• Revenue-sharing opportunities

As the league grows, Renaissance Gaming will continue pursuing sponsorships and partnerships that help fund:

• League improvements

• Player salaries

• Franchise revenue sharing

• Championship prize pools

Our objective is to build franchises that become valuable esports organizations rather than simply league teams.

 

Franchise Fees

Franchise fees are currently waived while the league continues to grow.

As sponsorships and league revenue increase, franchise participation fees may be introduced to support player salaries and league operations.

Example:

30 Teams

• $100 monthly franchise fee

• $50 allocated to player payroll

• $50 allocated to playoff prize pools

League-wide:

• $1,500 Player Payroll

• $1,500 Championship Playoff Pool

As league revenue grows, these numbers grow alongside it.

 

Becoming a Franchise Governor

You do not need to play NBA 2K to own a franchise.

Governors may appoint a Coach or Team Captain to handle on-court responsibilities while focusing on building and operating the organization.

Governor responsibilities include:

• Recruiting players

• Hiring coaches

• Managing sponsorships

• Overseeing team finances

• Operating under the VBA Franchise Agreement

• Following league rules and policies

All prospective Governors must:

• Be at least 18 years old

• Register as a site member

• Complete an interview with VBA Leadership

Franchise ownership should be viewed as operating a small esports business and carries real responsibilities.

 

 

 

Becoming a Player

Joining the VBA is simple.

Players may register free of charge.

To compete in the ProSim League, your registered MyPLAYER must be at least 80 Overall.

Players below 80 Overall may participate in the Summer League until they qualify.

Once registered, players remain locked to the build they registered with for that season.
