I wasn't going to bother mentioning unless someone asked, but I did make a post-deadline MyLeague Scenario. I didn't (and won't) update the actual roster file, as I'm more of a MyLeague guy and it's kind of pointless for that (since any MyLeague is going to start in December 2020, so it makes sense for it to always be an opening-night roster).

For anyone interested in the post-deadline scenario, just search my username (vetmin). Note that I had a bit of a change of heart re: Badges, and in the post-deadline scenario, default 2k Badges are for the most part reintegrated, minus some badges that are OP or that I don't like (pretty easy to see which they are by going into Roster -> All Players and sorting by each Badge column; some of them will repopulate in the offseason, but it takes 2 seconds to just wipe them again).

In addition to reintegrating Badges, I took a different approach to OVR/Intangibles. What I've done here is adjust Intangibles to make most guys OVR equivalent to whatever their Badge-less OVR is in their best position, except for centers, where their OVR is equivalent to whatever their Badge-less OVR is according to the Intangibles scale in my original post. My goal here was to keep the gameplay effect of Badges without having star players with absurdly high OVR ratings (which often results in absurdly high MPG relative to their teammates). Note that player attribute ratings don't reflect some of the more recent boosts some guys have gotten. Previously underrated players like Lu Dort, Moses Brown, Jordan Poole, Juan Toscano Anderson, etc. may need to be nudged up (https://www.2kratings.com/ is helpful for making adjustments).

Also, the draft class that is present in the scenario is more up to date than the 2021 DC I uploaded separately. Badges are there too (only for top guys), BJ Boston is back in, some missing dudes (like Johnny Juzang) were added, etc. When you get to the offseason, use my 2022 DC file, which has Badges now too and is compatible with the post-deadline scenario.

Re: standings, etc.: The standings in the scenario are in the ballpark of what they were at the time. If you want to skip ahead to the playoffs and want it to be realistic, maybe wait until after the real-life play-in tournament is over and then use Force Win to rig the post-All Star Break part of the season so that you end up with the right matchups (kinda hard to get it just right, but I'm not super obsessive about it). Also, this scenario is immediately pre-All Star Weekend, so it gives you the chance to do those games / events. I manually rigged the All Star teams so that they're pretty close to what they really were, though there are a few omissions since injury substitutions only work for team captains in 2k.

As for any scenario, be aware that all gameplay and MyLeague settings represent what I personally like, so obviously go through and adjust everything to taste. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
