Maybe they catered to much to the casual crowd by removing the d-league, I loved the transition from the crappy stadiums with no fans to the flare and flash of playing an nba game, it felt like you achived something, also it was fun to dominate the d-league.

Although I can't flaw this new system for it's realism, most nba players come from college or oversees and not by dominating in the d-league.
