SALEM, OR — As we turn the page on another exciting season in the 2K Online Franchise League, the offseason emerges as a critical time for teams to reflect, reassess, and rebuild. The decisions made now, in the calm before the storm of Season 29, will echo through the arenas in the weeks and months to come.

With the re-sign stage concluding today at 10 PM PST, the focus shifts to the intricate dance of Free Agency. Here is your definitive guide to navigating the offseason, ensuring that your team is not just prepared but primed for the challenges of the upcoming season.


The Free Agency Frenzy

After the re-sign stage, we plunge into the thrills of Free Agency. This period is divided into three distinct stages, each offering unique opportunities for teams to bolster their rosters with new talent. Here’s the breakdown:

– Free Agency 1: The initial stage is your first chance to make a splash. Be ready to make those key offers and secure top free agents to fill critical positions on your team.

– Free Agency 2 & 3: These stages are your opportunity to reassess your team’s needs, manage your cap space wisely, and engage with available players who can offer depth and expertise to your squad.

The conclusion of Free Agency is marked by the Free Agency Recap, a time to review your signings and ensure your team is on the right track.

The Draft Countdown

Post-recap, the spotlight shifts to the Season 29 Draft, scheduled for this coming Saturday at 8:30 PM PST. The draft is a pivotal moment for teams to infuse new, young talent into their rosters. It’s a time for strategic thinking and forward planning, as the choices made here can define a team’s success in the upcoming season.

Preseason and Beyond

With the draft picks settled, the league will advance to Season 29, kicking off with Preseason week 1. This is the moment to test your new recruits, finalize your game plans, and set the tone for your regular season campaign.

Stay Alert, Stay Active

Free agency stages will advance every 24 hours, with advance times fluctuating between 7 PM and 10 PM PST.
