I understand both sides of this "debate" ... some people enjoy the harder road, and others do not. Some people enjoy going through the entire thing once, but on their 3rd time through, it can become very tedious. To expect every player to be like Shannon Brown or Matt Barnes is as unrealistic as to expect every player to be like Kobe and demand a certain team on draft day and to be put immediately in the rotation ... The ultimate solution would be to grant both extremes, as others have suggested at the beginning where you start ... maybe one day the devs will be able to figure a way of doing so. I just wish posters here would stop suggesting others are unrealistic for wanting it their way, when both ways are valid.

Like I posted before, going to the D-League was not a given, you had to play pretty bad to get sent down. Even as a 2nd rounder you're able to keep your spot as long as you keep a B or above teammate grade which was fairly easy even on higher difficulties.

In regards to the Kwame Brown statement, the NBDL was formed the same season that Kwame was drafted so chances are a team that used that high of a draft pick on a player would send him to play in an at the time unproven league were slim to none.

You can look at Hasheem Thabeet, who was the #2 pick in the '09 draft, that even before his injury was playing poorly, getting sent down to the D-League in hopes that he would progress better there, the league at that time had gained a history of helping the development of players. Unfortunately, Thabeet hasn't been able to progress the way teams he has played for would like.

The way it stands now with the expansion of the D-League and it's growing number of head coaches and assistant coaches that have been in and around the NBA and pro basketball with numerous years of experience, I can see teams utilizing the D-League more for players they were high on when the drafted them that have underperformed or had trouble with their transition to the NBA.

That's the same voice from NBA 2K12.

I was hoping for more off the court stuff like The Crib and My Ride, and instead of using virtual currency, why not just use a players salary? They need to come up with ways for players to use the money they earn.

So what kinda glitches can we expect not to get fixed in this mode this time? Ridiculous trades? Roster lineups being all jacked up because the A.I don't know how to prioritize players positions? Draft glitches like the same teams picking in the same order every year? Just a question before we all get excited about a game mode that will have an issue that makes it unplayable till late nov.
