can I play one season with any team but not have to draft players and worry about salary stuff?

Actually, you might be right.

Not sure, what he means by, "multiple season lengths." Could be one season 41 games instead of 82. Or it could mean 1 to 20 seasons. Need some further clarification from someone in the know.

That could make or break this game for many people.

Yes. One season it seems.

At first I thought it was multiple seasons, but it seems that you are given the option of one season with "varying lengths."

It means how many games in one season.

Pretty sure multiple season lengths means length of season. 14 games, 52, 82, etc... In other words, the same option we have in current gen. The Season mode in 2K has always been for one season, not multiple.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Hold on a sec here. I can live with no multi-team Association (my condolences), I can kind of work out plays in Quick Games as opposed to Run Plays Practice, but why take out Playoffs mode for? Am I the only one that teams up with buddies on the couch and takes a team through 4 epic rounds of playoff atmosphere basketball? So we can win a championship together?

Fine. I'll live with that, we'll stick to Quick Games. But if editing players is out? As a realism geek (daily rotations, measurements, jersey numbers, accessories) if I can't even give John Wall a padded sleeve or remove Andray Blatche's headband, I'm out.

So you can't play or watch any other games but your own? I guess I should've expected some hiccups with this being that is a launch title but still disappointing.
