I think OP has a point about the MyCareer create your avatar part of 2k blending into the NBA version. And i say that because look at all the new badges.

You have hot zone hunter, flexible release, green machine, steady shooter etc. All these new badges have created seemingly with the mycareer portion of game in mind first and foremost. And i make that assumption because whenever Mike discusses the new badges he only discusses them in a Mycareer/park/proam point of view. These mycareer badges have affected the nba portion of the game in a big way in my personal opinion (im a offline/roster creator/ myleague guy).

The badges have been added to the NBA rosters but have led to the removal of key ratings (off dribble shooting ratings/contested shooting ratings/ boxout ratings etc). The creation of the new badges have 1.) led to a rework of the OVR formula (which if you play Myleague you know how important the OVR is for cpu roster building and rotation logic) and 2.) severely affected sim stats (lame offline guy stuff i know).

The dilemma presents itself as such: James harden shoots 44% from 3 in myleague sims. Why? He has a gazillion shooting badges. How do you fix this? Well just remove some of those badges. But the removal of those badges lowers hardens overall which if you apply the same mechanics across the league to get somewhat accurate simulations numbers would wreck the cpu’s roster building logic

Is this a signal of doomsday for the 2k series? No. Is 2k20 ruined? No. I will adjust as best as i can. But i will say the OP concerns do have some ground to stand on.

MyCareer is affecting the NBA side of the game. How much of an effect will it have as we get more iterations o fthe game each year? Well only time will tell. We will see
