I've found that for ps5 the "50+ real players" series of user draft classes are the deepest in the community. Idk if you've found a better creator but those are my personal go to since 95% of the time both round 1 and round 2 are filled with real players (sometimes auto generated people slip in but they usually don't get signed).

MyNBA lacks and issues. Lacks: 1. Free agent signing and player trade conversations - They had this on previous 2ks i donnt know why they took it off while it adds a realism to the simulation. 2. Cut Scenes of Championship Parade, Draft Day, and Trade and Draft Acquisitions - FIFA has this dope cut scenes with their manager mode (Playersignings and Trades) 3. Draft Combines - Only the scouting reports and draft combine stats are the basis now when drafting players. Back then 2k has this combine or workout invites to the players that are joining the draft so we can feel their playstyle idk again why did they remove this. Should be added again and put other playable draft combine drills/ 4. Player Morale Impact - During 2k14 and 15 we can pitch players to sign and sometimes disgruntled players that are planning to leave for free agency only needs to be talked to so ttheir morale will go up again. Idk again why tf did they remove this. This helps balancing the simulation of creating a super team. Issues 1. Too many players are retiring even if they are young. 2. Challenge for a call sometimes are buggy you dont see the insant replay even if you dont push any button it goes fast forward to the result. 3. Courts in Eras cant be replaced I know tthis has to do something with the legal rights of jerseys and courts. 4. Injured Player recovers too fast even though I have adjusted the settings. (e.g Joel Embiid in one of my saves got hurt 1st month of tthe season and is ruled out for the season after only three months he has recovered this injury lol My Wishlist 1. Add FIBA Games in the MyNBA current era i know it also has something to do with legal rights with FIBA but like EA on FIFA they have rights on different leagues and even world cup. As the season progress a football player is pulled out from the team for their national team duties. I hope they add this to 2k or if not EA might capitalize this from its Association Mode. Since they are known from having multiple rights of sports platform. 2. Be a GM/Coach of a National Team like Fifa other countries can offer you a international Job. 3. Bring Back everything thatt I mentioned on tthe Lacks List.
Yep people would be suprised. I’m not sure if I’m the only one but with 2k21 and 22 combined I probably did 15 seasons. All seasons 82-0 besides 1 I think. Just made the playoffs in 23 for the first time and hope to keep going. Went 82-0 on hall of fame 😅 that’s my fun

I actually have an idea for NBA2K specifically when it come to the 1990 era presentation. Wouldn't it be awesome?
