I think you are overreacting and throwing straw man arguments to defend your position.
The majority is understanding that 2K used resources to improve the gameplay and graphics. That same majority doesn't like that certain things were sacrificed as a result, but they are understanding that resources were used elsewhere.
This is an entirely new engine. Try to sit back and understand what happened here.
2K took the time to say "we need to fix the on court experience because it's not next gen. We will do this knowing we cannot spend enough time focusing on several features."
2K could have plugged in current gen gameplay with updated graphics and called it a day. They could have also plugged in current gen features and called it a day.
They said no to all of that. They focused on next gen gameplay and one next gen feature: MyGM which for those not letting go for a moment to reflect, is one of those things people have been scratching for in Association mode for years. Not just current gen, but previous gen as well.
It's a sacrifice. We aren't giving 2K a pass. We are understanding that they aren't gonna just throw in current gen features. They are trying to make sure every feature is next gen.
Does it suck we don't have 30-team control or create a player? Yes. Most definitively and every understanding person knows that.
But again, 2K is not content with current gen features. My perspective on what they've done in 2K14 NG is: everything will be next gen.
I'm confident when they introduce create a player and 30-team control Association, it will come with improvements that reflect the current state of the game: next generation.
Gotta be patient. It's the reality of building an entire game from scratch.
