Been busy and things since Friday so today was the first day I've actually got to spend with it and I'm really loving what I'm experiencing. The gameplay is the best I ever remember playing and I like a lot of the presentation features. I love the Build Custom League feature as it allowed me to start with 36 teams and use a fantasy draft. Exactly what I wanted to to. I have the 30 regular NBA Teams and also added two of the pre-built teams (Vancouver Ravens and Kansas City Knights) as well as four community created teams I downloaded (Kentucky Wildcats, which is my user team, Louisville Cardinals, Cincinnati Royals, and Anaheim Arsenal). I really liked the pre-built teams 2k added in and I hope they can add in more next year. The rebounding and stealing features have really improved, I applaud that. I also like that there seem to be a more accurate number of fouls and shooting fouls this year. In years past there have been too few.
However, there are a few things that could use work
1. I wish it was easier to override the default NBA team logos in League creator. I was really hoping to be able to easily override the current Spurs, Hawks, Warriors, Raptors, and a few other logos and switch them back to the late 90s or early 2000s style era. It can be done but you have to actually download all the parts yourself and put it together, making it a tedious experience. It would be easier if we could just remove the current teams and replace them with user created teams found online.
2. NBATV is popping up a lot. I don't really particuarly care more for it and it's even popping up in place of where the pre-show should be. I'd rather watch Shaq, Ernie, and Kenny talk rather than watch 2kTV.
3. The half time show is more shallow than last year. I like the stat bars it shows but at the same time it should have Kenny, Shaq, and ernie talking in the background like last year.
4. Still not enough stat overlays happening while playing a game to suit me. I remember years ago in very old 2k titles every time a person scored it showed how many points they had scored at that time. It also showed the same for rebounding, steals, assists, blocks, etc. I really like the look of the presentation but I wish it would utilized more often during a game. Or I at least wish there was an option for "very often" stat overlays.
That being said it is a terrific experience and I'm really enjoying it so far. As long as 2k keeps the custom league feature and allows us to create leagues using community created teams as well as more pre-built teams I hope they bring in the future I'll be set. I know I'm probably alone here on this last point but I really hope they keep letting us use CPU vs CPU in MyLeague. I actually prefer to just build teams and watch them to see how good they do.
I may post some MyCareer impressions later. I got to play around with it a bit and really liked what I saw of it too but MyLeague is my baby ans it's the mode I primarily focus on.

So, I'm just updating my impressions from above now that I've had more time to play the game.
1. If you use the pre-built or regular teams the presentation is top notch. I'm really enjoying it.
2. I really hope they can in these pre-built teams and add more next year.
3. You can turn the 2kTV off. Didn't know that before.
4. Having a blast with the gameplay.
5. The half time show is still just as good as last year. I actually like it better. I was using a community made team and that's why it seemed so shallow when I first played it. If you use a regular or pre-built team then it's fine.
Amazing game. The only thing I can hope for for next year is that they give us some more pre-built teams. Keep the ones they have but give us a few more.
