This happened to me. I think it had to do with missing the scripted game winning shot after being subbed out most of the 4th quarter. That was around game 30ish. I just finally started my first game, about 8 games before the playoffs. I thought my career was glitched or something. Glad to see it's not; although it was getting very frustrating.
Now that I'm finally starting, I should have the big time agent approach me within the next few games, and then I can get my shoe game going
I've been wearing these generics way too long.
