Aside from in-mode access to the store (which is a minor inconvenience) and being able to customize your personal court, what is "neutered" offline? I'm honestly asking because, off the top of my head, I can't think of anything that can be done for online that can't be figured out for offline (again, aside from the court customization, which is a shame), especially now that you don't need a shoe deal to equip branded shoes.
I have used CE as well (If nothing else, I need my sliders!) and I don't think 2K has an issue with it for offline, since there is an active thread for it (as there is every year) over at NLSC where Leftos frequents. It may be a safer bet for you since you can manipulate SP for animations/upgrades if you feel the need and avoid the risk of getting caught up in any VC controversy.
