    Kobe era Wizards.

    Going to enjoy giving Jordan his final season and then just see what happens. Don't really have any grand plans or visions on what if scenarios. Mostly just going to roll with how this alternate history unfolds. Will probably try to find a way to get Stevie Franchise on the Wizards though and prevent that tailspin. For plausibility if I trade for him I'm bringing in Cat also lmao

    If I had any kind of confidence that I could come remotely close to doing it I'd start in the Bird vs Magic era and try to reach the present day, but I know I couldn't do that.

    Is Kwame Brown not in the game?

    But now also considering starting in '83 and doing a What-If with Len Bias.

    (if you notice a trend, I'm a Terp alum lol)

    Edit: More and more the homer in me is also saying Carmelo needs to stay in the DMV. I did not realize how bad I wanted this feature until they gave it to me

        Before I jump into an Era, can I ask a silly question, how are the players progressing through their careers? Is their progression mostly accurate based on their real life career or random? Like I wonder if some unknowns have jumped out of nowhere and whether some stars have fallen off tremendously.

        For example I saw a video where Christian Laettner won an MVP award meaning he probably became a superstar. And also some other oddities like JJ Reddick being an MVP quality player, and even Frank Ntilikina becoming the star of the Detroit Pistons.

        I'm kind of trying to avoid that level of randomness, I can handle a very different landscape with players gong through their career on different teams, but I'm not sure how I feel if progression is too random.

          I change my mind pretty often about what I'm doing, but as of right now I am playing in the 90s with my Celtics. 2-2 in a 26 game season as I write this. Not sure how this season will ultimately unfold, but it is neat to play with Reggie Lewis.

          For the future, I want to build around Lewis and get Kevin Garnett in 95 and Paul Pierce in 98. Maybe even Shaq in 92 if I have a poor inaugural season.

              So far I've started 3 to get a feel for it. I've gone with the Bucks of each Era. This game is amazing to me. All 3 eras are so different. Not sure which I will spend most time in. So far it is 80s.

              And for those wondering, injuries are definitely working!!! I had Junior Bridgman go down 2 games. Now I just lost Bob Lanier and Paul Mokeski in same game--both 2-4 weeks. Lanier is a tough loss as all of a sudden I'm struggling. After starting 2-0 with relatively easy wins over Pacers and Pistons, we ran into the Celtics who beat us in a close one. Then the 76ers just destroyed us as we couldn't stop Moses Malone or Dr. J. Also lost heart breaker to Hawks as Dominique got hot late. So 1983 Bucks are now 2-3 and will move forward the next 2-4 weeks without Lanier.

              I'm 0-1 in my 1990s Era Bucks franchise (this is a bad Bucks roster but would be fun rebuild).

              I'm 1-1 in the 2000s Era. This one is so different than the 80s with outside shooters Michael Redd, Ray Allen, Sam Cassel and Tim Thomas. Love hw the stars stand out as Allen Iverson beat us in game 1 and Tracy McGrady pushed us to the end but missed a 3 pointer that would have tied it. Both stars really stood out and played well, but played differently.

              This is such a good game. Hardest part is deciding where to focus my time.
