I do want a better realistic CPU experience. As with other sports games, I want to see better CPU AI. While tendencies and Coach Gameplan help, still isn't where it should be. CPU needs to be more aware of Lineup logic, matchups, defensive rotations, CPU playmakers being more effective. If I play the Sixers, at no time should I see Embiid and Howard on the floor at the same time. CPU needs to be more aware of matchups. They need to understand who is on the floor and adjust to it. Like to see some teams knowing when to go small and when to match up. CPU Playmakers aren't really as effective as they should. You don't see them pick apart the defense and be impactul. Guys like LeBron, Luka, CP3, etc be as impactful on the playmaking side. Badges shouldn't be the be all end all.

I do think the online multiplayer focus has a negative impact on single player experiences. I don't like to watch 2k22 wishlists because most come from a Park/Pro-Am/Rec perspective. Most sports games now focus heavily on the Online aspect because it's what is the most important nowadays. But Single Player experience is still important. I want to feel a realistic challenge from CPU
