I have been playing NBA2K games a lot of years, and one thing that makes the game NR 1 in sports offline community is that no other game (and sadly not any of EA Sports games) is even close to that one.
The games are Custom creations version of the SuperBowl and NHL (you could add FIFA and Madden too) are High School teams in comparision.
Imagine this:
* You could load up on a EA NHL website any logo you want to add and use it in the game, or download any logos that someone else have uploaded.
Even Competions logos and use in Custom Tournament/playoiffs and Sponsor/league logos to use when you create your arena.
* You could download a full team creation with logos and jerseys, arenas, mascot that someone else have uploaded (like roster sharing) and add that to you roster file.
* You could download a custom made player that someone already done and implement in your roster file. (Like WWE and Fight Night Champion)
People often ask why do you want to be able to fully edit a player in a season (started mode) or why do you want to be able to create so much custom teams/players???
The answer is simple.... I want to create my own world where I have the most fun I can in a game (and sometimes to fix the things that are broken in the game that EA doesnt fix even years after their been found).
If I can create my own storyline its makes the game so much better, if I love to create a team from the past with helmetless players or what ever, it makes my nights better because it´s genuine and just the thing that makes me having fun with the game.... (and it doesn´t affect anyone else in a negative way)
