I don't mean achieving the milestones, I meant like achieving player stats + team recording. For example, after playing 20 games, you avg 20ppg and your team record is 15-5. But then you might feel 82 games is too long, so you decide to play only key games from here on. Your player stats and team record may then decline.
I understand that playing 82 games is the only way to achieve certain milestones, but for people that are only playing key games after they finished their rookie season, why not just give us the option to reduce the season. That way, we can still play all our games whilst not allowing the simulation to determine your player stats and team record.
So at the end of my career, I can look back on my player card and knowing that the average PPG, REB, AST, etc were all earned by me and not because of simulated games.
