Any rough guess as to release date?

[Gary Gorski]

Very soon Don't want to give a firm date yet but it won't be long

The new lineup tracking sounds exciting, but from the photo on the Dev Diary it didn't have a left and right scroll option; my point is, are games, minutes played and points the only stats we get? I feel like more are needed like rebounding for instance, if I have four big men and I want to choose the two best defensive rebounders as my starters, having that stat would make it that much simpler. Steals and assists should also be displayed so that I can build a starting team that plays the type of basketball that I want; turnover rate would also be helpful because its kind of self explanatory that the longer you hold the ball the more chances you have for scoring.
Also if you are importing draft database from college basketball, is there any point to scouting in North America?
Really excited for the game! Starting my fantasy draft this sunday and hopefully this soon after.

Yes the lineup tracking feature shows you the total number of minutes played by that group of five and the NET +/- to see which lineups are most effective overall not necessarily in a single statistical category.

Scouting NA is Canada/Mexico - you need to scout the individual regions of the US for college players
