The ability to disable the point in the season where teams are permitted to make trades is a feature within NBA 2K24’s MyNBA mode. This setting modifies the simulation, preventing any player movement via trade after a specific date in the in-game calendar. For example, selecting this option ensures a team roster remains static from that defined date until the offseason.
Controlling this setting provides a greater level of customizability in franchise mode experiences. Removing this limitation allows for a more predictable league environment, preventing significant roster changes that could alter competitive balance. Historically, this option has allowed players to tailor the simulation to their preferred style, whether for realism or simplified management.
