Basketball Gaming Experiences That Didn't Work Out

It's the eagerly anticipated sequel to favourite basketball gaming experiences! These are the ideas and seasons that just didn't pan out:

What are some of yours?

My Player mode in 2K10's gotta take the cake for this one. The mode was new, fresh and exciting but until the third or fourth patch broken. First time, I never made it out of the D-League after carrying the Vipers to the D-League title with 30 PPG on 5 minute quarters. Second time, quarter lengths. Third time, wasn't willing to do another Summer league.

My Player was a bit like that for me up until 2K13, with the new control scheme greatly increasing my enjoyment of the mode and the game in general. The awkwardness I felt with the old Isomotion controls certainly didn't help when my player wasn't skilled enough to compensate. It also didn't do much for the experience when half the team got traded within the first couple of weeks of the season, which thankfully is no longer a common issue.

Any dynasty/story thread I've posted here?
I want to say my current idea that just isn't going to happen counts. Creating A Legend but with a custom schedule and Street (pick up a player off the losing squad) progression.
So many mods or story ideas in the past have been lost from memory....

As for as mods are concerned, my "That's Entertainment!" patch I mentioned on a recent podcast would definitely qualify.
