Is D-League and Summer league in?

Just one quick question regarding MyLeague: How much more of a role do "non-financial ambitions" play in where a player decides to sign, particularly with aging veterans? Teams like the Heat (and now the Cavaliers) pretty much rely on veteran role players taking substantial pay cuts in order to fill out their teams. Will this be a reality in MyLeague?

Yes I know I can tweak the slider for this, but I'm more focused on the mindset of older players as they are much more likely to chase titles instead of money. I don't want to make EVERY player think this way, and that's what I would be doing by relying on the slider to get these results if they're not in the game by default.

this is where some sort of player edit rating/tendency/category for influences needs to be added

They still have yet to release any details on their "improved Online League functionality" or the Next-Gen "Crew" replacement

And then there's MyCareer, additional MyLeague news, ... Oh, and gameplay improvements, if you're into that sorta thing..

As in love as I am with this feature/announcement, I want the FIBA tournament and national teams incorporated into this game for MyCareer, MyGM and MyLeague. This needs to be hammered home. It's been too long since those teams were in a game.

EXACTLY! My idea was to add this customization, have the game automatically progress a player's influences from selfish at the beginning of their career (money, wanting to be "the man", personal stats/touches/etc.) to more balanced in their mid/late 20s and early 30s and then to have a higher tendency to choose titles over money in their mid 30s and on, and/or break down the influences/ambitions sliders into separate age or years of experience sections so you can make large scale changes at once.

For real, why even have MyGM if MyLeague is in? It seems like MyLeague is the vastly improved version of MyGM anyways. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what the differences are, but I believe MyLeague will get the vast majority of my playing time.

hopefully they also limited the amount of chessy/scripted things on MyCareer as well
