Really wish they would just release two games at this point. one for the people who like all this extra stuff, and another for those like me who just want a realistic franchise experience.

Yeah, I know, $$$$$$$$$$$$ makes the world go round. I'm in the minority.

Ugh, I just want to play online against other real people without first having to grind so much.

I'm with you. I have zero interest in the MyCareer and The City stuff and have even less interest in creating a MyCareer guy that becomes a rapper, lol. I think I'll skip this year's release and just keep playing 2K21 MyNBA mode with my custom old-school rosters.

I don't understand why they can't do this for the people who want to just play park and rec and then give us mycareer back...I have been questioning this for years...some really questionable design choices from Mike Wang.

Ooff priority at 2k continues to falter, catering to the tiktok casual generation...

It'd be nice if 2K "innovated" by making a basketball game....actually play like basketball

It's because of player engagement. Forcing people to grind before doing what they really want to do keeps the base engaged for longer times with the game even if it makes them miserable where they can bombard you with ads. They know that after investing all that time you will be more likely to pay for extra items and pay to win boosts.
