This game is so broken in this mode that it'll make you completely forget how good the actual game is. It's a shame, you play on the Sim Word Slider set and roster, and you get lost in how truly amazing the things that this game is capable of pulling off are. How real it feels...
Then you go to MyTeam and it's a circus. I just played a Supermax game. Not a Pack & Playoffs, and lost to a guy that didn't even sub out his starters. He'd just call a bunch of timeouts in a row at the beginning of every quarter. How do you even allow something like that in a game. Who gives a damn about the salary cap, if you can scam the game into not even needing more than 5 players. Not only that but we both shot over 71% from three, while both taking over 15 attempts. Both over 60% from the field. since he played every single minute, his Shaq had 22 rebounds when I decided I had had enough.
This entire mode is just a wash this year. Broken cards, delayed releases, completely absurd gameplay, awful greedy pack odds, schedule challenges are a nightmare. Nonsensical patches. This entire mode is the main reason I buy this game and it's completely.
We have to have our voices heard this upcoming release season. I bought the Legend Gold edition specifically because I wanted to finally take the full plunge into MyTeam mode this year, and it has been pretty much awful fro the first patch.
It really sucks to see, man. This game has all the potential in the world, but they flush it down the drain by appealing to the lowest common denominator or pack ripping, dribble-spamming, poster junkies who want to turn this mode into NBA Jam. I'm not saying it has to be sim, I get it, this is a fantasy mode for fun, but it seems 2K's idea of fun is "Who can trigger the most good animations" or "Who can find the best way to exploit the game" Or "Buy this guy because he's got more purple badges, which makes him better at triggering good animations AND easier to exploit the game with". The playoffs had already started before we were getting players with double digit HOF badges in 2K17. We already have 9 just in the month of March.
