I remember poor sales being the issue but Basketball gaming is a lot more popular in 2021 than it was in 2008. Besides, in the era of microtransactions, it leaves room for a lot more possibilities. Imagine a 24/7 mode where you start as an HS Freshman to HS Senior and choose your college. They have yearly growth spurts like 2k8 as well.

To me, they just need to modernize the entire 2k8 game. Just modernize it. That's all you gotta do. Have three modes:

Open
Closed Legacy - Make the deepest legacy mode in all of sports. It's already deeper than NCAA so just make it deeper.
24/7 - Don't have a stupid storyline, just let us start when we want: HS Senior, JUCO, HS Freshman and play as that player while grinding out ish.

Man, this game could be a monster. I always felt it was undervalued because Basketball gaming wasn't close to as big as it is now.
