You're right, completely pointless to have you culminate your career by having an actual Hall of Fame presentation at the end instead of just some boring *** prompt that says 'hey thanks for wasting valuable Association/Online/NBA Greatest time with this mode, you made the Hall of Fame...cool story bro.'
I swear to God some people will literally bitch and moan about everything. Then when we look back on games like this in ten years they'll be bitching about how game companies didn't put in effort in the games they made 'back then' or how we never got cool stuff during this era of gaming.
