EA just doesnt listen to its reviewers.
About a year ago when I started playing this game, it was so much fun. It was still ridiculously over the top hard when it came to completing sets and was still way too expensive for any of their in game currency, but as I play today, its gotten incredibly worse. If I can urge you to just not download this game, dont do it. Something must have changed with the algorithm recently because this game went from being a fun difficult challenge, to something that is so difficult its just going to milk money out of you. And most times buying things doesnt even get you what you need. I used to be able to score about 15 points a quarter Via 3 pointers, but thats no longer a thing. I used to have a balanced match up against any AI, but no. Now they absolutely destroy you while you practically miss almost every shot. The game stays fun when youre first playing because it leans a little more in your favor, but this game, like many, wants to punish its most elite players by making live events, Head 2 Head, and some times even season games, completely stacked against you. Youll be playing a team thats 20 overall less than you but somehow you wont score one basket the entire quarter.
Another thing EA was absolutely out of its mind with, is the "missed shot" board. A few months ago, whenever you missed a shot, if you were you open with a good look, it would just say "good look, off target" or something like that I believe. Now, you have 6 different ways on how you can just MISS the shot. Now theres "Good look, Off target"
"Missed open look"
"shot contested"
"Shot challenged"
"Tightly guarded"
Or my favorite, just "missed"
I dont know who at EA thought the fans would just love having 6 new ways to miss their shot, while simultaneously decreasing the chance of making said shot, but Im done. This game was amazing at first, and then they tilt it so far in the AIs favor that theres no reason to play it anymore. So. I hope this review encourages someone to not even begin playing so they dont have to go through all the pure frustration I and many other reviewers have gone through.
Who knows. Maybe EA will listen to its fans someday, and create a game thats balanced for beginners and elites.
