I know that 2k hasn't done everything right in the past but they have done more for us than Not. Lets give them the benefit of the doubt as they hired people who all of us here in the community know & we know are Sim gamers since Day 1. I felt your pain as all I do is play Online & I agree next gen while looking better wasn't as polished especially Online. But remember they didn't have a full year with the next gen consoles & had to produce games for last gen & next gen unlike NBA Live. So, I knew ahead of time & from previous experiences with games that the 1st released title with a new console might not be the best.
I don't know if you've read some of the changes such as going back to the old format on defensive schemes has been reinserted while removing the point of emphasis & etc. which didn't give gamers enough. This is year 2 & they went & got more firepower Leftos, Da Czar & a pro himself in OGSports. Things are looking up bro, add me we could get a Sim game in come November.
