After a few weeks of playing, I have really come to embrace all of these aspects. It’s not mindless like Madden gameplay where your QB can zip a 40 or 50 yard pass in a split second without really setting up for it.

This game is so simple, it’s actually complicated. If you think you are just going to jump in there and dominate people online, you are wrong. You need to take things back to the fundamentals of football and use some strategy to win. I have always felt like in Madden, there were just way too many lucky plays or plays that people can take advantage of. You don’t see much of that in 2k. Creating a team seems a little simple too, but trust me it isn’t. It’s crucial that you experiment a little and find the players that work well with each other. Sometimes a bronze HB will work better with your particular setup than one of the gold HBs.
