Poor gameplay
This game is so inconsistent, it’s almost sad. It seems to reward good basketball at some times, and other times your team is missing three consecutive open shots. One game you’re hitting every shot with every player, then you rematch the person and you can’t make anything and you get no rebounds (offensively or defensively). It doesn’t even seem like the OVR is really taken into account, as if there is some sort of handicap system in play. The players bite on random passes, and you consistently lose control of your player because the players are programmed to react to certain situations in certain ways, completely leaving their man open. The in-game store promotes inflated prices that are never worth the money, and it provides a very unsatisfactory experience. This game needs a reboot to how it was before the most recent overhaul. The old controls were so much more responsive and players moved more fluidly. The new team building system is a definite upgrade, but it screwed up royally in terms of actual responsiveness and programming of the gameplay. Please fix this game’s play, please please please. It’s incredibly frustrating and maddening. As a dedicated player for almost a year now, it saddens me to say that this game has started pushing me away. As a game that I used to persuade others to download, I have now been pointing my friends away from NBA LIVE Mobile because of the poor gameplay. It needs to be fixed, and EA needs to start taking the complaints of its users into account. Fix the game. Make the in-game store purchases worth it. Stop trying to squeeze money out of people and make this game an actually pleasurable experience.
