But if what you're saying is true I have to settle for the lesser cosmetic improvements each year. While they purposefully ignore the things that can truly make this mode a very enjoyable and realistic simulation of an NBA pro prospect. But this is the way of the world. /rant

I'm with you dathrone(If I'm on the same page) but I wouldn't say 2k is ignoring us. Unfortunately too many people complained about being rated too low to start, being in dleague, or having to wait too long to crack starting line-up, etc. Making the NBA and staying there can be a tough road. Think of guys like Bruce Bowen who had to grind,play over seas, do what ever it takes to make it. I liked the grind..I liked things dificult. Most people want instant gratification.

Exactly. I would like to have to fight for a roster spot instead of being the franchise savior from the get-go.
Heck I wouldnt mind playing in the DLeague or even starting with 1 min and really work hard in practice to earn every minute I get on the court.

This year you nailed it 2K, I love that all of the activities in the mode are integrated together, but … and as usual there is always a but,
what looks missing is the physical improvements, what I mean, no additions of new haircuts, new tattoos, new skin & muscle textures, I just don’t want to be on the 3rd year of my career with 2 team mates that have almost 99% of my features.

And I am also wondering if there is trades on the draft night, if 2K don’t give us the chance to be drafted to our favorite team then at least give us a chance to be traded to them on the draft night, like what happened with Kobe, I don’t want to wear a jersey for a team that I don’t like.

We never had the chance to use all the teams jerseys, also I felt last year the mode lacked to pass or it prevented the access to know what is happening in the league except the home page, if I want to ask for a tread I should access other teams to know who is in the roaster and to see if this suits me or not, also to have the chance to edit your team mates, not physically or their ratings but to change their gear.

One last thing is the simulation to reach the next game, why we couldn’t simulate the day as we can in the association mode???

I know that you want it to reflect the real life example but at the end I am a FAN of 1 team & simply I want to enjoy a video game.

Sorry, if this has been mentioned anywhere already, but have they said anything on this topic?

Not yet. It would probably have a lot of overlap with what has been talked about already so it might not even be needed.

Agreed, maybe this is the year I finally finish one of the my player careers I start.
