Useless Features?

I'm still waiting for NBA Live 05 for pc. While waiting just want to know if the ff are still in NBA live? From NBA Live 04, there were some features I never bothered to use (useless). Things like:
Using dynasty points on training sessions -- instead of making the team/player better, using dynasty points just make your player worse.
Training Camp in dynasty mode is also useless I skip it everytime. It just makes player worse - net effect is worse than improvement.
Very poor 2nd round picks - I never bothered with the 2nd round rookie picks. Why should anyone? You could just sign up a free agent at minimum and yet have a higher overall rating than most 2nd round picks.
Some weird features in dynasty mode: As years progressed, some teams would not make playoffs this year and make the NBA finals next year and then not make playoffs again the next year. Talk about inconsistency.
Some teams would be featured in Inside Stuff magazine cover at the start of the season as the team to beat (overall team rating 90+) and when the regular season ends, they would even have some of the lowest win total in the league!

I can't comment from experience because the game hasn't been released in Australia yet, but apparently the training sessions and training camp have been vastly improved this year.

only adds this year. no more subtracting going on to the ratings

same answer as above

heard this year that top lottery picks could become bust. while some 2nd round picks might turn to be great picks. also now you can scout picks during the season. not only from america, but asia, africa, and europe as well. some picks will even have an undrafted status.

The thing that bothers me the most is that none of these kids went to COLLEGE!! LOL it doesn't say what college these kids are from. It wouldn't hurt if they had a map of where to scout ala recruiting in NCAA FOOTBALL 2005. But yes, I drafted a C in the 2nd round and he has "excellent" potential, I can't wait for the code for more dynasty points come out so I can develop him throughout the season*
