It would make more sense for 2K to do this with WWE than the NBA, since it is a script/story driven sport.

When it comes to this mode? Nah 2k blatantly ignores some of our requests

I have not been very articulate in this thread and the majority of people did not understand my referencing AI. VDusen04 does a really good job of putting into words what I failed to do earlier.

I enjoy MC more than any mode because when I am controlling my character I feel it is more realistic than if I control someone else. What I direct Kobe to do under my control is my flawed perception of what I think he'd do and even though I've watched him his whole career and been a Laker fan for a long time, I can not pretend to be him.

2K really started out as a sim experience. The MP mode introduced in 2K10 was about immersing yourself into that sim experience. Over the next couple of years it expanded on that sim experience. Its biggest flaw was linking the career mode to online play.

Online play has its unique demands which conflict with a true career sim mode. In the career mode you want to develop over an entire career ... with online play you want to reach your peak immediately so that you can dominate online. These conflicting aspects should have been separated years ago - and the online MyPlayer could have been developed along the lines it currently has been; vc, standardized play, all the unique competition involving rec parks and street ball 3v3 games...

Career Mode - It could have developed along the lines of the Association modes with the main SIM emphasis being the individual instead of the team. It could have evolved with the experience starting from high school/college, through the draft and preseason all the way through post-career coaching/ownership. Sliders, rosters and customization could have been the bedrock that led not only to a better SIM experience in MC but within the Association experience as well.

One of the current supporters asks me why I can't just accept what is. My answer is because what could have been and should be is much greater and much better than what is. The mod gets further and further from the SIM experience focusing on the individual to the realization of someone else's idea of a basketball fantasy.

I will say people from OS have been hired by the 2K team and are part of the process.
