My GM Free Agency

[jarviswise]

The player signings and team signings need to be reworked. Far to often do I see a team win an NBA championship and lose their best player to free agency. And the player will have 1 offer at the start of free agency from his original team, but if another team offers a contract the player will typical leave.

Example: Durant wins a championship in 2016 with the Thunder, he test free agency and that off season he signed with the Bulls..

Or LeBron leaving no matter what after 2014.

It doesn't need to be reworked as badly as they need give us 30 team control.

I'm convinced that no matter how much tweaking and adjusting they do its almost impossible to mirror a realistic league. There's just too much "personality" that doesn't translate back to video game code.

At least with more control the user can make adjustments on the fly when they see things going off the rails.

This force-feed linear path with single GM control has no place in a sport "franchise/association/dynasty. Leave that stuff to the MyRPG crowd and get back to giving the use more administrative control not less.

It's also annoyed me that you can't make trades during the free agency period. There is no offseason trade deadline, we should be able to do sign and trades, and the like after the draft.

You mean... like he left after 2014 in real life?

He left?
Because opting out means the same thing as leaving?

You know that the best thing for the heat is for all three to opt out right?

He opted out. He isn't guaranteed to come back, nor is he guaranteed to leave.

Which is pretty much exactly what happens in NBA 2K14. He opts out. As do players like Wade, Bosh, Pau Gasol, and Kobe Bryant, all of which re-signed with their former teams after opting out in my GM Mode.

LeBron didn't re-sign, because I swooped in and took him.

Sooo if NBA 2K14's free agency period virtually mimicking 2014's real NBA free agency period is unrealistic...
