I think I can say with 95 percent certainty that all die-hard sim fans always look...

MyLeague in NBA 2K is outstanding.*

I love all the customization they give us... Create a Team, Create Draft Classes, Add Teams, Re-align League, etc.
I wish Madden and other games would put this effort into their games, then I'd be willing to buy them.

"It can be argued that franchise modes are in jeopardy of being a thing of the past," WTF?? That is a ridiculous statement. The lack of a franchise mode has been the ruination of many games. If AFP 2k8 had a franchise mode, it will still be played more than Madden. I would bet money that if the Re-released AFP 2k8 right now, removed the historic players, and added a franchise mode of some sort, it would overtake Madden 18

Coming from a player that uninstalled 2k a couple months after launch...*

I agree - MyLeague was enjoyable.*

MyGM* was not enjoyable. The problem is VC. Why can't MyGM run on it's own "currency" or progression mode. I felt squeezed (probably intentionally so) by VC. I never had enough to spread across the multitude of game modes. I'm not making a statement about whether microtransations are per se good/bad. What I'm saying is that the VC implementation in MyGM made the feature worse. It took away from what could have been a good experience and unfortunately made it feel "freemium-y."

I'm done with 2k basketball. I've played it since 2k7 and I'm throwing in the towel. I can't deal with VC anymore. It taints the entire experience for me so badly that I can't enjoy the good parts.*
