Wow, so the best news in that whole update was this: "One final thing we didn’t mention is that we’re working for the first time to be able to make DDS:PB 2017 leagues importable and all leagues being able to be carried forward from version to version from now on."

I was JUST thinking about this today that I feel like you'd guys do better with sales if this was the case for all your games. Every year, OOTP can count on my money because I am more than willing to buy for all the new features since I can transfer my league. I waited a LOOOONG time to upgrade to DDSPB17 because of all the legwork I had to do with the database to transfer my players and even then, all of my history is lost. If you guys can pull this off going forward you can count on my money every year on the new version. Bravo. :D

Importing leagues is awesome! One small thing that I hope is easy to do and would rock if it could be included; as of now with Euroleagues in the game, if you have it active you can't use the import/export options at all. This is (from what I've gathered) because the game doesn't generate unique IDs for these players, which is kinda weird just because it does for all D-League/custom-game players. Dunno if there's anything I can do to fix it in 17, but would be a great fix for 18!

Also; any signs of going deeper back in historical? I know it's probably hard because of the ABA/NBA merger, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to give Russell a run for his money with Wilt ;).

We made a mention a while back about opening up the roster modding to the community and that's what is going to happen. That way you guys can take it as far back as you want or mod your own any way you like whenever you like :D

Happy to see the defensive stats back and looks like the game will have quite a bit of enhancements in Single Player.

Excited about any UI changes - I am not a big fan of the white/yellow UI since PB4 and really like the black UI of earlier versions.
