Wai...what? That's crazy.

But contract money doesn't mean anything... if anything your yearly salary will keep the team from signing or retaining better players.

And this is a reality. Only few players, AS caliber that comes to a team with a strong possibility of becoming a champion, and usually they are late stage of their careers. Yes, it is unfortunate that the contract money doesn't mean anything, get your fancy cars etc., but having someone with a big salary because he deserves it does not surprise me. I am glad its in the game.

That's the thing, I have a LOT of young, new guys who were doing great and consistent in the Reg Season, nice to see... then the postseason came, and they fell apart.

Would be nice at some point in the future to have a mode that's mostly RRTS based but adds a few elements of franchise.
Different options to control as much as the user wants, like trade veto for all teams or just yours.
Ability to play as other players in addition to your RTTS player.
Off topic, I wish you could create a 40 year old rookie like in older RTTS'.

I think some people are forgetting the purpose of RttS. A top prospect doesn't get to choose if he is traded or not (no matter how many times) so why would that happen in RttS? People talk about the lack of realism sometimes but being able to dictate trades, rosters, etc when you're in RttS would be ultra unrealistic and defeat the purpose of a "my player" mode. I guess that's just me tho...
