Solid information for this early in the preview season. The Mike Wang segment sure ended on a big tease, though.

More Retro teams. That's exactly like I want. I'm surprised that we don't have a certain word about NBA: Creating a Legend.

[TBM]

You're surprised that we haven't gotten word on a specific gametype in May...?

And besides, chances are, Creating A Legend isn't returning. They canned it for a reason. Nobody played it.

You can play MC, but use legend CF...

I don't like MC. Having only that is just boring. MyLegend to return NBA: Creating a Legend would be more fun than MyCareer.

And 2K, If you don't return NBA: Creating a Legend at all, I will BOYCOTT NBA 2K to make you lose money and maybe buy NBA Live as I like using existing players and hate having to create one!

Well, if it doesn't, 2K will lose a lot of players for 2K16.

Don't talk about yourself in plural

2K's telemetry data showed that it wasn't that popular a mode, whereas MyCAREER is extremely popular. While it would be nice to have that mode there for anyone who wants to play it, they need to allocate their resources (time being a major one) accordingly. That means modes that are popular are going to get attention before bringing back a mode that wasn't being played much...which again, is something they know from telemetry data.
