They need to fix sim stats, progression/regression, trade/draft/free agency AI, and add some actual immersion to the mode. NFL 2K5 had the halftime show and a weekly recap show, which even with the extremely limited voice lines still added so much to the gameplay and the franchise mode that no other sports game has ever come close to. It never got stale and it always got me in the mood to keep playing.

The relevance of other sports game brings worst is just that NO sports game has mastered ai team management yet. They are ALL very bad. Shoot, maybe its just not even capable.

Biggest thing for me is actual lineup logic which would also bleed into free agent decisions they make.

No team plays two centers at a time (example Whiteside and Richaun Holmes). But 2k will do this ALL the time as if the lineup logic was based off a script from 2009. MLB The Show does this as well with always putting two fast gays at the top of their lineup.

I think logic should have teams opt to put a sf at f or a pf at c before they put a center at a pf.

Some of the most annoying parts of the team-management AI are definitely fixable, for instance, the logjamming of certain positions. The logic for avoiding that is as simple as it gets: something like IF ( such-and-such trade or signing( position(any) > 3 ) THEN reject such-and-such trade or signing. One could similarly program the AI to not invest in signing Clint Capela when you already have Rudy Gobert (by creating a formula for OVR or salary ceilings for the acquisition of 2nd & 3rd string players). The formulas that users here routinely use in their spreadsheets to calculate ratings from real-life stats are considerably more complicated than the above. That said, the devs aren't stupid, so I know it must not be that simple to implement (maybe it's coded in a roundabout way that's hard to modify without breaking other things, or maybe the game has logic like this but other mechanics interfere with it). Point is just that the CPU logic that would avoid some of the 2k AI's mistakes is pretty rudimentary and very much within the power of a video game to execute.

Roster building logic and fixed progression regression and I’ll deal with the rest

...and I really wish we could just turn off progression/regression, if we can’t find settings we like.

Been dreaming and hoping for this one for a while now.

With next gen MyCareer seemingly moving away from the traditional offline experience, there's an optimistic part of me that hopes we'll actually see a transition to a more in depth player lock MyNBA experience at some point this generation. Fingers crossed.
