After hearing from the community, Konami has reverted back to
FUT 23 Coinslegacy defensive mechanics for the upcoming patch. I’m on the fence with this change. On one hand, I welcome the challenge of learning a new defensive style, but that requires intelligent teammates that are positionally sound with targeted aggression.

While the season play stays the same, there is a new option implemented during the actual season, which is referred to as “player wire.” The all-new player wire will pop up for the first half of the season after each week is played, and it will inform you of how certain players are feeling. This is impacted by their play, and whether or not they are happy with their contract.

One of the nice, under-the-radar features of MyLeague/MyNBA is the fact that players retire and become coaches in NBA 2K22. It’s not a back of the box listing but can add longevity to any save before both the rosters and coaching staffs fill up with fictional people. It’s a great thing that PS2-era FIFA games had (I can’t be the only one who hired Ray Lewis and Brett Favre as my coordinators every time). NBA 2K’s version suffers from two of the same things that FIFA’s feature suffered from: there’s no indicator saying which players will become coaches when
