Could be better but, EA doesnt care they just want more
Sorry but, its true, they dont take the time to truly develop the game and its unbalanced and should be considered still in development. Overall its a good game and better than 2K17 on mobile. However the main problem that I have is actually playing the game. Its beyond awful with its ratings and gameplay and everything is so predictable and just seems unfinished. Playing defense isnt playing defense, its spamming steal and waiting for the ball to be knocked lose and sometimes the bot for the opposing team comes and takes the ball before you get the chance. And most of the animations are predictable for example when the point guard is bringing up the ball for the opposing team, you can spam steal and it usually does an animation where youre both staggered and not be able to move for a solid 3 seconds. Dont even get me started on actual defense because if you hold down the defense button chances are one of your teammates will come up and double team which is bad because if you attempt to steal while double teaming 95% of the time will result in a defensive foul or someone will get open and shoot from 3 costing you 3 points. And ratings! They dont mean anything literally I have all my players(not including the summer league lineup) above 96+ overall. Especially my Steph Curry with a 99 3point shot! And my Kevin Durant with a 95 3 point shot! And that absolutely doesnt mean anything because they cant make contested 3s. They miss open 3s sometimes as well which is insane! If I have a 99 Curry with a 99 3point shot I should rarely ever miss from beyond the arc. Its understandable that players in real life miss shots but, this isnt real life and Curry in real life doesnt have s 99 3pointer and isnt as highly rated in NBA LIVE than as in real life. Its a good game if you just want something to kick back and relax to play but, be ready for BS and dont waste your money on the game because its not worth it.
