Is there an option to have a preseason in this year’s game considering its rebuilt?
I need to know before I am pre-order. Thanks in advance!

If you want stats from young players or players you are "trying out" the summer league already does that and the NBA preseason is largely useless - I mean you get guys like Carsen Edwards dropping 30 points and then he barely can even see the floor once the season starts. Basically all the preseason is really is an injury risk to players (hi Zion) - if that's what you want simulated I could probably build in an option to simulate that in the background without actually building games in

It's not that the addition of it wasn't considered but that I felt that what it would add to the game wasn't worth the changes required to do it especially when there already is a mechanism to try out players with the summer league games (granted not in a situation playing with your normal starters so not exactly the same). I always value suggestions and input from people who play the games so I hope you understand that the decision not to add it was really just based on my opinion of the work required versus what would be gained. I hope that the lack of that isn't something that holds you back from purchasing the game but if it is I certainly understand.
