They couldn't care less about actual NBA statistical norms, they want superhuman video game abilities to rule the day.

I think the NBA 2K fandom is exponentially worse than the Madden fandom in this regard. Not even taking into account the flaws that occur when implementing various gameplay systems, tuning for the 2K customer base is beyond nightmarish.
2k (or EA) could capitalize easily with an NBA Street type game. Put Park, MyTeam, and Pro-Am there, make it it's own brand. Make that the fantasy-type basketball game that quite a few people want 2k to be.

Then 2k can release their standard game, with MyLeague, MyGM, PNO, and an actual career mode.

I'd probably end up buying both games, to be honest.
