Team Building:

• AI teams are more self-aware than ever. They plan for the now and the future, assess when to leverage their assets, etc. Teams now think, plan, and strategize.
• A new ‘Team Intel’ screen to give the user a better contextual understanding of what teams are doing around the league: if a team is in rebuild mode or not, their trading block, what players they’re targeting, etc.
• More sophisticated AI trade logic, more of a challenge (i.e. no more swindling the CPU, no more loading up on one position for no reason, etc.). Teams do a much better job of looking at their roster post-trade when deciding if they should bite on a trade offer.
• Teams value players very differently. A gem to one team might be a bad fit for another. A player’s trade star-value can change depending on the team.

• Added Player lock
• Long-term owner goals (MyGM)
• New stats, more advanced stats, etc.
• Gameplay Slider Sharing – you can now also save, load, and share your User/CPU sliders for others to download and use.
