Honest opinion from someone who plays 2K alot, the gameplay is more realistic this year. Defense is actually a thing, and there's really no way to glitch around players as there has been in the past. MyCareer actually feels fresh and creative. MyTeam is good so far, but i feel it'll be like last year when they got the cards too good too fast. MyLeague/Franchise is about the same as it has been, but minor improvements help it. As of right now from what I've played, I'd give it a 8.5. For comparison last year I'd rate it a 6.5 because gameplay was too broken.
