Then you should ask. There are alot of hard core dudes on this site that are more than happy to give you very detailed insight on pretty much every facet of the game.
There are multiple threads including this one that have detailed these issues, and the game has barely been out a week. For some guys here, it is standard operation procedure to immediatley sim out a few seasons to see what lies ahead.
Don't get me wrong, it sucks to not have features that were on the last gen. And I personally hate the trend of gaming moving to an online requirement, and despise even more the world of micro transactions. Those are legit gripes. But with all the easy and free resources we have today (Like OS), all this "2K deceived us" business is kind of silly.
