People who overlook that 2k has ****ed up are the reason why they can get away with it. Keep putting up with **** like this and they will keep taking standard features out. If MyPlayer was this time consuming then tehy should have shelved it until 2k15.

Relax, it's the first year on a new system. You're acting like 2k blew up the game and won't ever do anything about it.

And if truth be told, i'd rather the gameplay/graphics be next gen than the features. The features aren't what make these games next gen. You can have all that stuff in current gen.

Except 2k tried to have next gen features too and they suck.

I enjoy playing this game, it's fun, it looks great and all that. However, I will eventually get bored of playing quick games and without create a player and other editing tools, ****ty single player modes, and other issues, that means I will eventually stop playing which is something I never have done. I have played each of the last few 2k games up until like a month before the newest one comes out...this won't be the case here. Thus I am very disappointed.

as for 2k fixing this in the future, I am not so sure. They seemingly are going for cutscene driven scripted experiences along with other choices to force people to keep buying their games. They willl turn off the servers and then everyone will have to buy the next one or go buy Live instead for their basketball fix. I mean taking out all of these options makes it clear they don't care about the editing community. "bu-but its the first next gen game yo" doesn't cut it when the features they cut aren't even that major. How hard is it to allow people to save to their harddrive? Not at all. I get why the cut the CAP but when you still have one in the game, even if limited, then why can't we use that? And they really couldn't just port over association mode? Really? So it is difficult to gave faith in the company at the moment.

This is exactly what EA did with Madden. Took things out because those fools will eat it up anyway. Jus sayin.

i would love to be wrong but right now it seems like their priorities are different from mine. Personally, I think they should have scrapped MyPlayer and focused on other things and THEN add in the mode next year along with all the other standard features. That extra **** is less impressive when basic options like saving to your hard drive are missing.

I also am glad they ripped modes and focused on graphics, gameplay and emotion.

Got my PS4 today, UPS guy showed up at 10:45 am. Had some things to do so haven't been on it as long as I want, but after two and a half games, I'm loving it. Obviously the features and restrictions are a bummer, but I understand why it happened and 2K has garnered enough good will from me that I can live with this for a year. They have the foundation laid for the next ten years, so next year they need to come with it on and off the court.

It's funny though, this is showing you a lot of the guys that have screamed over the years about not caring about graphics and features as long as the gameplay was right when they were laying into 2K about gameplay issues are frauds.

I am so dang excited for my XB1 and this game on thursday night. I could care less abnout 30 team control, I just want a good looking and fun basketball game. I'm ramped up to 11.

We should absolutely have both! But a NEW engine on a NEW console we shouldn't expect perfection out the box (see Madden 2006). I would rather gameplay & graphics over features if time and resources are limited(see Madden 25 on PS4)

The new engine excuse is bull****.

CAP is in the game...would it really be hard to let us use it?
Being able to save rosters to the hard drive was in the game. Patch took it out (along with multiplayer in MyGM and defensive options)

and in the end the stuff that is missing is easy to implement. This was a conscious decision made to take these things out or just pure laziness.

and why settle for sub standard?

You guys are the exact reason why devs get away with dumb **** like this
