- Read "Where Are They Now?" with Jay Johnstone for updates on what players from this era are doing these days.
- Visit the Don Money National Bank for depositing and withdrawing cash above and beyond the league file's cash maximum, so that teams may keep their profits without abusing the game's Free Agent and Extension Money Available calculation.

- No-Trade Clauses in place for newly-signed Free Agents and newly-extended players.

League feels this provides a good mix to the free agent pool, more GM financial accountability, as well as better roster stability than often found in OOTP leagues. Full details in rules.
- Sim cash incentive for writing team articles.
