1) What effect do the assistant coaches have on anything? If I fire all of them to save money, will my players suddenly play worse of something? My head coach can do the job the assistants can do, only better.
2) What's the point of the summer league? After I put my low-experience guys on the team, what's the point of the screen where I pick the other players to be on the summer league team? Can an option be put in to have the AI pick the other players for me?
3) When free agency comes around, can a column be added which shows each player's $ demand? Targeting players that I have a chance of reasonably signing at a glance would be a huge improvement. An interest level column would be great too. From what I've been able to figure out, I have to check each play individually to see how much money he wants - an unfun activity. If there's an easier way to do this, I'm all ears.
4) What are restricted free agents?
5) The ratings numbers on the free agents screen, like FGI, FGJ, SCR, etc.: How are those ratings determined, by my coaches? If the coaches, are the ratings an average of all of their opinions? Going back to question 1, if just myself and my head coach evaluated each player, would the ratings be different than if all of the coaches participated?
6) On the contract offers screen, what are mid and low exceptions?
7) On the player card screen, how does discipline, consistency, loyalty, motivation, and personality affect game play? Are inside and outside shooting how good the player is at each task or how often he'll perform each task?
8) On the training camp screen, what effect does weight training have on a player's performance?
9) The draft room for the D-league: Is there a way for me to pick the players for my team? At no point does the "select player" button light up. All that's available are the "CPU pick" and "CPU finish" buttons for every round of the draft. I must be missing something that I can't pick players.
9a) What is the point of the D-league? I can see a point I guess in that the noobs I send there get playing time, but what about the rest of the players on the team? If there's no way for me to pick my team (see question 9), are these guys just filling up space? I must be missing something, so educate me please.
