It's like me when MLB got released on Xbox ,so pumped up ,though I know the basic of baseball ,I felt lost.
Gave up quite early.
But if you get some deeper knowledge or just play casual on any of the great career modes (not mycareer) you'd might learn a lot.
But (not scaring you) a very tough game to master (both basketball and 2k) when to set picks etc ,those are the things that makes this game shines ,what you set out to do ,if smart ,you can!
Can only agree with
@Becanes that this is the deepest (you'd be surprised) career/franchise mode there is.
I absolutely love this franchise , whether it's 2k14-2k22 it's brilliant.
Check out some myleague videos on YT.
And yes ,get it!
