welcome to the internet.
We give voice to all the annoyances we used to keep in our heads.
There is tons to love about this game. Heck I've already played about 100 myleague games (give her take a few minutes at the end of games that go away from me and I simmed to the end).
Franchise mode is crazy deep. And what I like best of all with NBA2k is how you can be as obsessive or as casual as you want with realism. You can tinker with every slider you can think of with contracts, progression/regression, sim stats, etc. You can edit anything you want if you don't like how things are going. You can do 30 team control, add or remove injuries, the list goes on and on.
