- SG Roland Arthur added the Limitless Takeoff, Catch & Shoot, Deadeye, Slippery Off Ball, Volume Shooter, Hyperdrive, Needle Threader, Quick First Step, Ankle Braces, Challenger, Clamps, Glove, Off Ball Pest, Pick Dodger and Work Horse badges. His Pro Touch and Chase Down Artist badges increased to Silver. His addition of 7 more defensive badges was a pretty big shock to me. 

- PF Calbert Stevenson added the Dropstepper, Fearless Finisher, Catch & Shoot, Comeback Kid, Corner Specialist, Deadeye, Guard Up, Limitless Range, Volume Shooter, Mismatch Expert, Intercepor, Post Lockdown, and Work Horse badges. His Posterizer, Rise Up, and Slithery badges increased to Gold. His Aerial Wizard, Bully, and Limitless Takeoff badges increased to sliver. He went from zero shooting badges to 7. 

- PG Brook Lane added the Floor General badge. His Special Delivery badge increased to silver. 

- PG Alex Maggette didn't add any new badges, but his Acrobat, Fearless Finisher, Hyperdrive and Rebound Chaser badges all increased to sliver. His Quick First Step badge increased to Gold. 

- SG Zac Jenkins added the Claymore, Comeback Kid, Guard Up, Limitless Range, and Hyperdrive badges. His Catch & Shoot, Corner Specialist, Deadeye, Slippery Off Ball, and Mismatch Expert badges increased to sliver. 

- SG Sammy George added the Claymore, Slippery Off Ball and Quick First Step badges. His Catch & Shoot and Corner Specialist badges increased to silver.

- PF Stevenson is the higest OVR cpu generated player at 88 ovr, still none have cracked the top 25.  That should change next year. 

- D Lillard is down to 88 ovr. 

- Kawhi dropped 4 ovr, down to 83 ovr. 

 

Actually I was curious so here you go:

Are you guys using the mentor system to help with badges?

I don't believe that is offered in the online franchise.  They take out a bunch of cool stuff from the off line franchise when you switch to online multi player franchise.

And to think, MK was bitching about Stevenson not being a great prospect, pffft.  I'd guess eventually Powell might have a higher OVR, but, that sure isn't a guarantee.   That is twice now that MK has landed either the top prospect, or an elite 2nd prospect due to the CPU drafting poorly (Stevenson at #2, Arthur at an absurd #5 when he was absolutely easily the 2nd best prospect in that draft).

Oh, didn't realize that.  Was going to ask your guys' philosophy with it, because it seems like you're getting good badge growth.  I've never written them down year to year like that to know if I get comparable results, but it looks really good, when you see those side by sides.

We simmed out most of the season yesterday.  Looks like I'm going to be 1-2 wins short of the play in games. Sucks cause Stevenson was out 20 games with a calf injury, I would have easily made it otherwise. I think @Flatlyner is tracking for less wins than that, so probably a year away from any meaningful games.

Ya Stevenson and Powell will probably be top 25 players next year and the rest of our rosters should be aging up as well.  Getting the badges leveled up on top of the OVRs really helps with sims too.  One issue we have noticed is that there are like 25 free agents that are 80+ OVR that no one has signed because they are asking for too much money (think of someone like John Collins, good player but not for that price). So basically there's practically a new starter for every team out there available right now but no one is signing them.  This is an issue we need to figure out how to resolve.

Set the sliders for salary min to around 65, set the salary max around 82 and the salary curve betwenn 55-60.

Yeah, I was going to look into the salary sliders today.  I'll give your suggested sliders a try @OkeyDoke21. I wondering if it will retroactively change the demands of the current FA or if will really only effect next years FA demands.

It alters them in real time.  Sometimes I'll jack them all the way up to 100 in the last days of free agency to make sure someone signs.   Those sliders might leave a few 70's in FA, but not many truly impactful guys.
