Quick clarification q for importing stuff; if I restart a historical replay now could I import it and continue on from whatever year I'm at after release? And could we do things like enable the European league if we'd had it disabled in 2017?

Not available for Mac - release info coming soon - no you cannot change the settings that the league was created with on an imported league but you will be able to continue on a historical league or any other league as long as you are importing before the scheduling portion of the season

Likely way too last minute to add but I just had a cool idea for a feature, maybe in newer versions. Would there be a way to do "Arena Stats"? Could show a team's overall win/loss record at home, maybe things like longest winning streak/losing streak, highest amount of points, assists, etc accomplished in the arena (either by the home team or in the case of places like Toronto, other players like Lebron) and things like that. Could be especially cool if you could find a way to retire arena's for when newer ones are built, thus solidifying the legacy forever kind of thing. Just a random thought! Pumped for the new game, trailer looked great :).

Maybe its not to late to place a wish (at least for an update).
If you analyze older simulated drafts, there is (nearly) always a straight forward decreasing player potenzial with lower draft positions. Of course, the potenzial should decrease with lower draft positions, but not that straight forward. It should also happen, that a lower drafted player, decrease (unexpected) massive in future and become a future all star. I know that the showed potenzial can change after time, but over/underrated players happen much to less. This leads to a situation, that a good draft position leads automatically (if you scouted ok) to a potenzial good player. And when you have a very good or bad potenzial player, he nearly always stay like this. You could make small changes at the development system of the players or you could only simply make the showed potenzial skill (which you and your opponents see and make decitions based on them) less excact or a bit of both.
In the end, it would be an important step forward to an even more realistic basketball simulation. You are on a great way, but you have to focus more on the weak parts of the game.

Can't pre-order til next week, got some pre-holiday expenses to take care of so I haven't been able to check out the last beta build. One small question- are historically accurate coaches back in the game? I recall them in 2016 but they didn't make the cut last year. And on that note, if it's an easy thing to adjust, could you try to set it so that when a coach retires they don't leave the win/loss/playoffs tally? Pumped up, tournament previews look sweet!

We announced earlier this year that we were going to open up the rosters to the community going forward so that the community can update them, edit them, share them and have it become a much more flexible option for everyone. As mentioned in the beta thread there will be mod files available for download for both the rosters and historical data when the game is released.
