If you're worried about Deke Van not developing why not just change his peak years in the player editor? You can set when their overall will plateau and then REGRESS any age between 19-41. It's located right under where you input the name and college!

I set it at 29 originally so I figured he’d take a big jump after his rookie year, but that didn’t happen. Maybe the big jump is coming during/after Year II.

In my experience as someone who's played near 500 hours of myleague, the 2k progression is super linear and guys usually go up 3-5 overall points a year until they hit whatever overall the potential stat is set at. So if you want Deke to get to an 85+ I'd definitely set the peak start back to ~32 and set the potential accordingly. The training camps to boost potential are only guaranteed to work as long as the player is in a year(s) prior to whatever year they peak. Some guys make big jumps (10+ ovr) in 2k sim but I'd say 95% of them are either top 5 1st round picks or guys that have been trapped in the gleague for a whole season.

Probably not.

Yay on signing Beasley for 3 years! Hopefully he and Nelke tear it up at the 2 this year! Hopefully there are some good UFA after this season that you can actually get signed.

Sadly, I don't think I'm going to be able to make the stream on Monday, but I hope everyone else has fun!
