I will be adding more later as well. Also note that I have some player DNA used twice, but that's because that player's attributes were similar to more than one missing player's skill-set.

I'm surprised 2K's profanity filter didn't explode when they input the name "Dick Van Arsdale" lol

I noticed that if you do player dna switches it doesnt carry over the name the PA announcer will say, it still says the name of the player it was before.

You don't think Ray Allen would be a better fit for Reggie Miller? That's what I used for my CAP



Anyway, any suggestions for Rasheed Wallace? I can't think of a player who had his shot

This hasn't been an issue for me. I'm on the Switch so maybe it's different on the PS or X-Box.
