It wasn't totally clear, but hopefully this addresses some of my biggest gripes with the series:
- Injuries affecting rotations. The logic has been terrible in Association mode when a player gets hurt with an injury that they can play through but they are automatically sent to the reserve list and don't play, or are reduced to a meaningless 5-8 minutes per game at the bottom of the rotation. This is beyond frustrating especially in the playoffs. I did an association recently and in the ECF went to game 7 against Miami Heat and Dwyane Wade suffered a minor injury that put him at "hurt" status but he could have played through, instead he was designated to the reserve list and didn't play in game 7, it was very frustrating and cheapened the experience.
- Hopefully there is a way to designate 6th men to be just that, the 6th man and not in the starting lineup. When striving for realism it gets frustrating to play against the Spurs with Manu in the starting lineup, especially since he hasn't been a starter since what 2005?
- And finally, playoff rotations. AI logic should differentiate regular season lineups and playoff lineups. In the playoffs, generally the starters minutes increase, and the rotation shrinks from 10-12 guys to 8-10. It's annoying playing against scrubs for a few minutes during an important playoff game.
If those are addressed, I think this game will be damn near a 10/10. I'm super psyched for this mode! I know it says XB1/PS4 exclusive but I'm still holding out hope that the PC gamers get some love too!

I've seen the other way around as well, where a player is simply too hurt to play but does anyway, and the cpu has a 58 overall starting for them.
