Realsim and authenticity are two different things. Asking for "realism" is disingenuous, given that NBA 2K is a video game and video games are about creating your own scenarios. What matters is how authentic the players and teams involved act inside the scenarios you create. When two users are involved, you're both creating 50% of the scenario and you'll just have to deal with what the other guy wants to do.

I surmise not many players will be good enough to reach the summit and unlock the historic teams anyway.

I actually hope it's VERY difficult to reach certain levels. It'd be great to get to a level where sim-style was the only way to progress.

Defense/rebounding was always their achilles heel, and it's always been reflected in 2K.

Amazing offensive team, but on D they were pretty bad.

That's all well and good, but then why restrict me from subbing in injured players? I brought up lifting that restriction last year at OS and got nothing but rage in response to the suggestion. Everyone replied that it would be unrealistic and not a proper simulation. But, now we can do fantasy match-ups and everyone is ok with it? I understand the excitement behind it, but you have to admit it is a bit hypocritical.

Tier might not mean Ranked, might just be segregated groups of teams.
