All it would take to fix it is one option: TURN OFF INJURIES
I only ever play against the CPU, but I play often. I use Boston and their injury woes have meant that I just couldn't be bothered playing the game because I can't use my favourite players.
I really wanted to play the recent game vs the Spurs, but their injuries hadn't been updated so I didn't bother [Ginobli and Duncan were still listed as injured].
I know that you wouldn't want to have this option for online play but please, 2k add this for those CPU players like me who don't give a fuck if people are injured.
We just want to play.
