some season/franchise questions

[mcbiggins]

Hey guys. I've got some questions about the franchise and season modes for those of you who already have Live 2004.

1) When you acquire new players, do their uniform numbers stay the same and sometimes overlap existing player's numbers, or do they change to make sure of no repeats?

2) When simming games, are the minutes for subs realistic or does every starter still play 30+ and every bench player 12-15, no matter how good or bad they are?

3) Are box scores for simmed or previously played games available?

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info.


Now if someone could answer the other half of my second question:
Do all bench players still get the same number of minutes (12-15) in simmed games? Or is it like the real world, where the best bench players get the most minutes and the 11th and 12th guys on the end of bench get lucky when they go on the court at all?
