It's a serious question based off my understanding of the bolded.

To be real, the most fun I had with MyPlayer/MyCareer came in NBA 2K10, for it provided the most authentic "be-a-star" basketball paths to date for me. Sure, the mode is inherently unrealistic (since most of us create ourselves, and we're not going to the NBA) but the original focus of the mode seemed to induce at least a touch of realistic immersion even amongst the fantasy.

The freedom to create one's own path in this mode (instead of pushing a player down a pre-destined route) was immeasurable. I understand some people will want to be stars immediately. But for me, I got the most from being able to convince myself I was grinding in pre-draft workouts, just hoping to get a look. Then I had a blast being overmatched in training camp and fighting for a spot, only to end up in the D-League.

And when my time with the Bakersfield Jam was finally up and I got the call to the NBA? Checking in for the first time on NBA hardwood? With NBA commentators and a full arena? Priceless.

Are you noit pointing out another type of pre-destined route by going to the camp, D-league etc.?

You raise a fair point. Ultimately, I would prefer to have a say in the matter. In lieu of complete career freedom, I preferred the former method, which felt much more realistic with the implementation of multiple levels of real life camps, leagues, and teams.

In 2K10, even with gamers being cornered into being selected low in the first NBA MyPlayer mode, it still felt as though we were carving a semi-realistic path. Now, everything seems to fall in place very quickly and incredibly. It almost appears as if it's more of a fight to not become an NBA legend the moment you step on the hardwood in the current MyCareer setup.

In short, everyone is not looking to become an immediate superstar in MyCareer mode. There are other paths I found much more enjoyable. I suppose I could have shortened my initial response to something along those lines, ha.
