Good read. I think 2k released this patch to prepare people early on for the direction they will be going with the gameplay for 2k17 so they can gauge feedback(At least I hope so).

I think 2k went overboard in regards to capping the SF's based on that position being abused in 2k15, especially in the ball handling department. I like your idea of the base model (Ex: Wall, Dirk etc.). Go back to the old 2k in the sense that you select base positions such as pass 1st pg, defensive specialist sf, etc. I think 2k needs to make a user establish early on one or two categories where the user will focus on as a primary strength and go back to stat building by individual categories rather than the terrible grouping together of things like they did this year.

Given how profitable 2k has been in regards to their current "pay to get better faster" system it's hard to see them stopping that all together unfortunately.

Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure. Last edited by NINJAK2; 05-12-2016 at 08:45 PM.
