As a 90% offline gamer using BaGM, this is pretty shoddy work IMO.
The only thing I can do is learn from this experience and, if I really want to buy the next iteration, wait until a few months into release when they have fixed it and released proper rosters.
Hopefully, with the cash grab attitude that Electronic Arts is becoming famous for, they can afford to release a properly tested and functioning game. No game is perfect, but no game is this glitched up out of the box with zero support within the first 2-3 months.

The thing that really ticks me off is that without a patch there's no point in starting a franchise, so I'm limited to playing other modes that I wouldn't normally use. This seemed all well and good, especially with the inclusion of the CHL, as I'd run through a season with the Hitmen. Too bad that the CHL mode is so incredibly filled with bugs that it's virtually unplayable.
I can forgive the occasional glitch or thing that fell through the cracks, but there are massive issues that I find it very hard to believe nobody noticed before shipment. CHL teams being able to sign anyone regardless of age? Freezes anytime certain teams are used? You're telling me a tester never discovered this?
NBA Elite was pulled because it was so filled with glitches and downright horrible development, interesting that David Litman headed up that monstrosity as well. Hopefully 2K can get their act together for next year as I'd really like to avoid another game with the issues of this one.
