Yeah, I've never seen a "spinal" injury before on 2K. I also don't check the injury report this much, either. So, hopefully the game doesn't make him retire cause he was having a great year and he's about to get PAID in the off-season since his contract is expiring.

Thanks for the comment!

I've already finished the playoffs (just haven't posted my updates of them yet) and they were pretty exciting.

Thanks for the comment!

How are you handling free agency, just letting the CPU do what it does? Also do you allow in-season trades or nah? Between CPU-CPU I mean

For In-Season Free Agency, I have it set to Manual so the CPU can't sign current players.

For Off-Season Free Agency, I have it set to Auto so the CPU has the control over the teams. However, with a couple days left in Free Agency, if a team doesn't have a full 13 man roster, I will take control of the team and try to fill out the roster.

As far as trades go, I made 14 trades for various different teams. That was because one team would have 4 Centers and 1 Point guard while another team would have 4 Point Guards and 1 Center. So, I went through and tried to find trades that could benefit both teams while giving them a solid player at a position where they only had 1 player.

But, besides those trades I made, it is set to Auto. I have allowed a couple trades to go through after I looked at both rosters to see if it could benefit both teams. But, I have declined about 6 trades that made absolutely no sense lol.
