“How much ya got” in 2024

[SoCalKingg]

I doubt this will receive any responses but worth a shot. There’s only 1 obtainable trophy left I can earn on 2k16, signing a max deal in free agency. When I played this before, I didn’t care about doing this so I lost my 99 overall character. 
 

Id like to know if anyone has figured out an easier method to get this after the servers shutdown besides starting over. I see many posts from when servers were still up about the magic offering max contracts to SF, but I cannot replicate that. I’ve tried doing it with the latest patch installed and I’ve tried doing it with just the base disc and no updates applied. No luck. 
 

I’ll grind this out if I have to but since I also have to do it for 15 and 17, and recently just did it for 14, I’m wondering if people found any alternate ways that have worked in the last few years.
