Hey yall, I'm excited to announce the addition of Season Mode Awards in the v.18.0 Awards Update! Going forward, your players will have a chance to be recognized as Offensive & Defensive Player of the Week, Offensive & Defensive Player of the Year, MVP, and Playoff MVP! There's even Coach of the Year, and an All-Star team for top players at each position!
To help tell the story of your team's success and give you insight on how the rest of the league is doing, I've also added a new section to Season Mode called 'Hype', which helps track how players are progressing towards winning awards, including recaps of the Player of the Week's performance and ongoing weekly lists of the top players in the league.
This update also includes some improvements to sim game results and a couple of bug fixes. Unfortunately, it will also reset any existing seasons in progress so that awards can be properly tracked, apologies in advance.
Check out the complete patch notes below and good luck trying to bring home that MVP!
