Yeah, that's what threw me off. I was talking about simply about the storyline part. And you're right, it will most likely be more for MyGM/MyLeague. Maybe also MyCareer as well though.

From my experience, 2K15 teammate AI is a huge improvement from 2K11 where they literally could almost make nothing. My CPU on 15 can definitely make shots and some players can consistently put up 15-20 pts a night and sometimes I've had players like Ariza and etc go off for 30+. So, the CPU can make shots for me, but my problem with them is they cannot create their own shot, a lot more silly things with the ball vs HOF CPU and they pass the ball back to you too much.

They are worlds ahead of 2K11 CPU. But it still needs a lot of work because if you don't drop that 30-40 points, you'll be close to losing more times than not.

Yeah the CPU is better than 2k11, I just haven't put much time into the mode since then.
The pass back stuff has been one of my biggest issues with MyCareer for years. If I'm playing with another star scorer why the hell is he passing it back to me, go one on one and get a bucket or create for another guy. Another thing I hated was I'd create a wide open look for a teammate and they'd miss the shot, but my teammate could get the rebound and pass it right back to them and they'd make the shot CONTESTED no less and in turn snatching my assist

We hear you man. We know it's all about screenshots.
