I thought there would be something about contract negotiations. It was too basic in 2K16. We didn't even know what the roster would look like before signing.
Can we negotiate the number of years, VC, add player option, incentives, no trade clause? Can we see our team's cap space? Can we look at offers from more than three teams at once and be able to decline the team's we aren't interested in? The more/less minutes and VC contract negotation returing would be a huge disappointment with all the other improvements being made to the mode.

So I love that 2K found a way to make you one after your first season. I don't see how it's really a issue. If you want it to be realistic like, stay w/ your current team for 2-3 more years.

I think its 3 yrs but cant remember the fourth is team option i think.... you can ask for a trade if you don't want to stay with that team after year 1. After 3rd year I'd like to try for a max deal or maybe become a free agent after year 2

This looks cool.. Im not a My Career guy though but its looks cool.

I just hope in future, they can in corporate the D League and the EuroLeague. Have your player get drafted but cut then show the options. Think that would put many hours into it showing how hard it is just trying to be a NBA athlete.

Could be wrong, but hat sounds right. Free agent after first year was awful.

Most people would want to experience of being a Free Agent especially if 2K got it right this year. So if it was realistic you'd have to wait for about 4 years because the team most likely will pick that up. So I believe how 2K had it worked best because you can be a FA or do it how you wanted by just resigning for a few more years or maybe have the option where you can asked to be picked up w/ a team option after the first year for people like you.

You should be able to negotiate that where that'll keep you happy as well. Just sign a 1-2 year deal w/ your current team. But most barely get through one year and they do that because of attributes. I play MyCareer heavy and barely reach 4 seasons unless I Sim.

I thought this was unnecessarily penalizing people that want to get through their career fast. I want to actually finish a full 15-20 year career this year but things like that made it difficult. Please tell me that's changed.

I believe that they do this to reward the user for actually playing games and to put a stop to "farming" XP, because you could create a secondary MyCareer file, sim every last game, appear at every endorsement event and rack up the XP very quickly, so I doubt it's changed at all tbh.
