If you playing My Career, it's one of the best from recent recollection because your Stamina is managed way better than the later ones along with the fact that they don't penalize you for creating players of certain archetypes like what they were doing as of recent. Perfect example of what I'm talking about, Making a 6'10" Power Forward. Something I've been doing since the FIRST, fukkING 2K with Iverson on the cover.
This one didn't limit your stamina and speed for making a guard of that height like the others above it do, and let's be honest, if you're playing these games with a created character, unless you suck, you should be playing MVP type ball, the face of the league and playing max minutes, which is normal, but the others not only hit you with penalties for making a guard of that height, your player was perpetually burnt out after a season or two and you've no way to manage your minutes or call for subs to replenish your shyt.
The one with Jordan and the one with Lebron doing that chalk clap shyt are the last two decent 2K games. The others go up are money grubbing trash. Enjoy it, breh.
