Rosters are taking a lot longer than I had anticipated but I got started on it, even downloaded Rookie cyberfaces from modders, etc.
Couple screenshots I took of a test game:

Just a heads up guys, the only ratings that are released are the top 100. Some of the ratings you’re getting are from 2k25. Heres the released ones.

Who needs rank 70, 82 rating John Collins?!
Man is about to feast this year. A real pg in Harden, Kawhi taking up attention, Zubac backing him up on defense, Beal as the floor spacer, 39% from three, 52% from the field…age 27

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 9) Discussion Thread
Feeling good about how the roster shaped up.
Got my main guys in their primes in Fox/OG/Siakam all on expiring contracts so I can pick and choose who to bring back next year based on their IRL play.
Got a decent core of youngsters to usher in the next era of Atlanta Hawks BAFsketball Dyson, Lively, Wells and LeBron James.
Good glue guys like Melton, Robert Williams, Lowry.
And even a few playable guys filling out the 11th-15th roster spots in Olynyk, Horton-Tucker, Fontecchio.
