I actually think the NBA doesn't have any more problems than any other sports league with their athletes and personally, I like the NBA. I think it has great diversity in the league as now you've got players from not only all of America but also from every other continent and I'm very pleased my Pistons won the championship last season - it was great to see team basketball mean something once again.

Anyhow, you can either start the season on day 1 with the first game of the season or you can start with a fantasy draft and then the season. Either way in the demo you do not get to experience the offseason although chances are if you like what you see in the 1st 100 days you're going to be pleased with everything else. So far I have heard nothing but good things about the demo and haven't heard anyone complain that the demo was cool but then the offseason part wasn't so hot.

Hmm - I forgot you were a Detroit fan.. interesting -and ya, I misread your first point- my mistake.

Also, my question was with the offseason. To take this off point- you played a fair amount of text sims before you coded one- doesnt it seem likely that the average text sim fan is as interested in the off-season, and thus would love to have a game start right at the end of the old season as opposed to the start of a new one ? Genuinely curious- I think this may have been the one thing TPF aced, and Im wondering what the general consensus on this is. Is it a coding issue ?
