Yea but again, the CPU doesn't look at Kobe and say "wow this guy won 5 NBA championships". They're saying "hmm this guy is 36 years old, is degressing, and his value is pretty shot...we'll take him but he's only getting a 1 year deal at low cost (2 mil) because he's about to retire and we are looking to spend our money on new young talent."

I know what you're saying because we know how good Kobe is, but that's not the way sports games work, it doesn't matter if it's NBA 2k, MLB The Show or even Madden. It's always been about young talent with lots of upside.

I hear what you saying. It really just comes down to how you want to play. That's a big reason I don't like a fantasy draft. Too much of an unrealistic scenario. There really will never be a 100% realistic franchise mode in any sports game without total control like you have in MyLEAGUE. The only reason you get all these goofy trades is because wether the CPU is the 1 seed or a top 3 lottery team is it plays to put together the best roster possible. No regards to age or emotional ties with a player.

Does anyone know if the upgrades you can unlock in MyGM are also unlocked by the CPU teams? Do they get the benefits of improved facilities like the HUM player does?

MyLEAGUE guy here.

I don't care about a role playing mode or setting ticket prices.

The option to veto trades and force injuries is what I need!

This. Perfect. My favorite feature. The one thing I really hated we're seeing a ridiculous unrealistic trade. Would seem to immediately ruin the association for me.

So tell me. What kind of unrealistic trades have you seen in this year's game? Please keep in mind that if a team gives up a player that is 31+ years old (even a star) to obtain a few younger players then IMO it's justified.

It's about value.

I am having a blast with MyGM. As someone else stated I love the RPG aspect of the game.

Haven't gotten any this year as I'm only about 5 games in but I was referring to years past so I don't have any examples. I'm just excited to be able to put the kibosh on any deals I don't approve of.
