Had a freelance but there were only about 21 which pretty much was tied to the team if im not mistaken

Probably, but maybe its like 99% probability for success or something....

Ok thanks man.

Sorry for giving similar responses guys. I'm responding to comments and then seeing the same response has already happened....

I like that they attempt to really give you an authentic nba experience, in terms of presentation. but for me, the gameplay comes first. somebody here made the point that 2K likes to make it flashy but ignore legacy issues. and literally, everything i talk about here on this forum are legacy issues that people willfully ignore(which is fine if just having a basketball game suffices....to which i respect). but i was under the impression that 'sim' was the end goal here, and if so, then lets have an honest convo without all the condescending retort.

As long as I've been here, nobody ignores legacy issues. Just because we continue to play the game doesn't mean we don't notice them. And just because we enjoy the game doesn't mean we don't notice.

Remember how some teams simply had a generic 3 out or 4 out freelance system? I'm taking it to mean that all 30 will have their own team specific freelances.

Definitely cool. 2 things I do hope for this year is that the team specific ones from 2k16's lesser teams such as the Sixers motion were expanded upon (we all know some awesome detail will go into the Warriors and Spurs swing).

The 2nd thing is I hope that freelances are no longer tied to the team. Yes you can change yours in game, but not the CPU obviously. And say 5 years into a MyLeague, a team will still run the same system, no matter if they are on their 2nd or 3rd different coach.

Look at all the top comments on Chris Smoove's video on the new shot meter.

We are so screwed.

Because the cheesers are so loud, the first patch will appease them, like always. Bye bye sim.

I hope so bc I dnt want to be rated 95 and have to be the one matched up against a 85 player who I can easily outplay. It's like when you have a kid that called next among men and you getting matched up with the kid. Plus alot of those lower rated players are newbies and some are just nuts so they are going to cause you to lose bc they are still learning how to play.

It could also mean some sort of Dynamic Rating system for your MyPlayer.
