Pros -
- The game looks and plays great, which may be an understatement.
- I enjoy some aspects of the new MyGM mode such as phone calls to other GMs and the ability to get the cold shoulder from them if you air out frustrations from trade talks becoming public knowledge.

Cons -
- VC. 2K has decided that they want you to know and care about earning VC to do many things, or gain the ability to do many things, in their career modes, which is fine, but having to earn and spend VC to be able to hire and fire staff as a GM is unrealistic. 2K's MyGM mode reminds me of what Madden '13's problem was with connected careers, unfinished, or if it is finished, it's broken.
- Saving everything and anything to the 2K servers which includes your own edited rosters and any draft class you create. I cannot wait until the first time that I want to play MyGM and I cannot because 2Ks servers are down, I will be glad that I have 2 controllers the first time this happens.
- Editing inside of MyGM is restricted, but at least we are allowed to edit a few things about our players, but these do not include contract, ratings, or tendencies.
- Ability to start MyGM as of "today", must start from the beginning of the season every time you start anew.
- No Create-a-player or Create-a-team.
- 2K Servers, they didn't really just sell me a game that is dependent upon their servers to play this game who aren't the most reliable did they?

Other random thoughts -
I haven't yet made it into MyPlayer mode so that is why that gets no attention from me here.
I am sure there are more pros and cons, but I have yet to give the game the attention to really go in-depth, but some of the cons I have listed for MyGM annoy me the most about this game.
