When does the regular season starts in game? Is it middle of December? Thanks!

for regular season, we just start from Day 1. With the same games that are being played now.

They use a duplicate file for preseason

Starts Oct 31. The game doesn’t have a pre-season so we manufacture one ourselves.

Uhm, I can see that we are on the 30th of November in game... So are we actually playing regular season already? Probably the answer is no so, How many Pre-season SIMs do we have until the actual regular season starts?

I assume 3 sims (that's what we usually do) and then we rewind to the start

[Myles]

3. Tomorrow is the last sim and then Monday begins the regular season

Do we have to send our Philosophy changes with the file, right? Or do we have to post them in bold in the Depth Chart post with the file attached?

Thanks, I thought so, but it doesn't seem that my last set of Philosophy changes went through, I am gonna try again before raising this for tomorrow's SIM.

I just saw you posted but didn't post your offensive set change though. If you are to be clear you post it in bold.

Thanks, I didn't want to change the offensive set , I changed the philosophies with the file, I hope it works

First round picks have two guaranteed years, a third year team option and a fourth year team option

You don't currently have anybody on a 1st round rookie scale contracts

How do we look at defensive value? There's basic steals and blocks, but what else can we look at?

The stats 3 tab will have stop % and points allowed vs shits faced and turnovers forced

To elaborate on this, Stop % is primarily important for perimeter players (although it is a bit important for bigs) and PA/SF is primarily important for big men (although it is important for wings). The higher the stop % the better, I personally consider anything above 90% as really good with some players capable of being above 95% which is obviously elite. Anything above 70% is acceptable, below 70% is where it gets really rough. For PA/SF, 1.0 seems to be like the average number, anything below that is good. Big men with 0.8 or even 0.7 in that column are the best of the best.

At what age or years exp, do players stop progressing in ratings?

How do pick swaps work? More specifically, 2k does best/worst swaps, and is it the same here or just a direct swap regardless of draft position?
