well good thing i do not play online that free agent draft thing sounds like a bummer for you guys, but once again 2k does a great job building the franchise mode to be the best in sports gaming, really hope they omprove the CAP next year.

The Advanced Rotations feature has been added to the Gameplan feature in Franchise, which means you can setup advanced rotations against any opponent.

That said, both Advanced Rotations and Roster Quick Edit were features that were very mind-stretching and took a lot of iterations to get the interface to where we wanted it, so please, share as much feedback as possible on how we can make those easier to use and/or better.

I actually think that MLO free agency seems pretty cool. It'll come down to "Do I was 33 year old Westbrook on the decline who is still an 84, or should I take this 21 year old rook who could become an 84... or possibly not improve much at all"

Do you have any extreme examples to share? Players, just like in real life, have different personalities and expectations, independent of whether they actually deserve it. It's a matter of player ego and other personality factors. Our conversations branch based on that related to the player's playing time and rotational position, so all other things being equal, players will have different expectations as to their playing time, their role, the training intensity, and so on.

Also, like we've said, there's players that respond well to tough love, and others that need to be coddled. If you know their personalities, you can reject their requests and make them respect your decision, rather than have them mouth off to the press about how they don't want to be on your team anymore.

Leftos, if you're playing a 30 team MyLeague offline does the CPU now turn down trades or do you have to decide if it's fair yourself?

This was a GREAT read. Really excited to get my hands on 2K17. I noticed injuries were mentioned in the MyLeague Online portion but I was wondering have injuries returned all around? In-game injuries not just injuries that occur during simulation. I hated having healthy players all season long in MyGM/MyLeague while the CPU constantly had to deal with injuries.

I'm ridiculously excited for MyLeague especially with the new all time stat tracking. It gives incentives to playing longer.
