I'm almost 70 games into mycareer and everything (besides the actual basketball part) about this game feels like a horrendous grind (now that i think about it, even the cut scenes within the games are kind of a grind, since you cannot skip them initially and you keep on hammering the x button...). you grind for vc, you grind for upgrades, you grind for these skills that you cannot improve via upgrades, but only via practices...
who at 2k believed that it would be a good idea to have the players doing the same, boring, repetitive stuff over and over and over and... again? it's okay in the beginning, like the first 3 or 4 times. then you get bored of it. and then you have these stupid gameplay/design decisions, which make the grind even more annoying. e.g. when you attend a practice, you usually want to hurry directly to the vertical drill, cos that's the quickest way of getting done with it, right?. but you can't, cos you have to wait till you are being asked to participate in some other training with your team mates and to decline the request. and when you are done, the loading screen takes ages to get you back to your gym, where your guy takes ages to come in and drop his bag. and only then you can start the next practice grind session.
i just hope that for 2k18 they come up with something more motivating. something that let's you focus on the actual basketball part. instead of 70 games into my career, i would probably be done with my first season + playoffs if it wouldn't be for these grinding sessions.
