All I'm asking is "when does an unskilled(according to the ratings) basketball player get noticed out of HS the way Pres does?" You started talking about Wiggins -- clearly has basketball talent & potential. Came into the league athletic af. Came in with his jumper surprisingly further along than most thought it would be. Then Simmons -- comes into the league with a combo of size, athleticism, court vision, and handling the ball, that *can* be something special for years to come. And then there's Pres. No discernible basketball talent that separates him from your average joe you'd find competitively hooping on the weekends, maybe even in your amateur leagues strewn across the country...but in 2K, he's the next big thing. The nation wants to know which school he's picking. Coach K wants...no...NEEDS him on Team USA. And that's a realistic package... Either have the attributes match the story, or ditch the story & let us make our own destiny. Don't tell us we're the next coming of Uncle Drew while possessing the basketball skills of an older dude who's nieces & nephews call him "uncle drew"

I get where everyone is coming from, but "MyCareer Has a Realism Problem" is going to always be around.

Case in point, you can average 30/5/5 just by getting starting minutes over the course of your rookie season as a 55-65 overall. That's unrealistic.

If we come in the league as let's say a 75, good skill set but tremendous upside... well... that just means we can now average 40/10/10 lol. And win the next MVP, FMVP, and Rookie of the Year and do the same for the next 12 years for 12 rings in 12 Finals appearances without even having to increase our overall at all, and the more we add on our skills and badges... the more all of the above happens lol. And that's a realism problem.

Being a Tireless Scorer having 35 ppg then you get the double team but your GOLD Dimer badge let's you hit up your SG in the corner for your 11th assist and the next time you do it your GOLD Hustle Rebounder let's you snag the rebound for your 12th rebound and your Scrapper badge let's you put it bag in for 2 more points with the foul... lol realism problem. Which is why I like the Archetypes if they can find a happy community balance.

Unless 2K drastically changes the game, MyCareer is going to have a Realism Problem. But it's a game, so they have balance fun and challenge, but also let the user do what they want.

All in all, give me Roster Edit and Sliders for MyCareer, and we're all good lol.
