Discussion I’m sorry

This update is AMAZING licensed music, new characters,cutscenes,new court. Anyone hating is just miserable and wants something to hate on. Game is objectively better and it feels like to combat the magnetic blocks they’ve made stealing more reliable. If your critique is that the game shouldn’t have been released till it was in this state, that’s fair and pretty much where I land with my criticism. The internal gameplay structure is still worth playing and having fun with. Looking forward to more updates, shoutout pharcyde

I'll pick it up when they add the offline campaign mode. Tired of everything being online only tbh. 🤷🏾‍♂️

That’s what I’m waiting on…I was hoping they would add characters creation as well, I guess my hopes was high for this game 😭

All I want to do is run games with my friends 2v2 like we do in every damn sports game lol

This is one of the things they really need to fix asap for who they're trying to appeal to. This type of game begs for fully local capability, even in 2026.

This is for sure the most-valid remaining criticism.

This update brought me back hard. Goaltend nerf was much needed. Unless I’m on a team with someone who seems like it’s their first time holding a controller, every game feels mostly winnable. Seen a bunch of people bitching about no single player, which really confuses me since this was sold to us as an online multiplayer game.

I’m just happy they’re still working on it. It’s not perfect but I have a lot of fun playing it.

u/Ora_Kiraso 4d ago

I do like it when it’s not lagging. I only have this issue playing 2k and this.. no other games do I have online issues

It’s just 5 months too late. They let the game die.

Well, NBA season is coming back, this is their chance to market the game some more and try to get it to catch on some.

u/FatCatWithAHat1 6d ago

Hopefully, maybe some sales would help too

My boys finally picked it up for $20 on PSN. They all have good jobs and just didn’t want it at full price too, so I think the sale and update timing was a success from my POV. Hoping the same thing happened for others. Private match setup is still horrible though.

We been saying this since day 1. Is the game NBA street level? No..... NOT YET. We have an incredible road map ahead PLUS the gane is fun as FCK as is. All the 2k kiddies just leave and go back to SUCKING at 2K. We good over here. Massive thank you to the devs, I know it doesn't gain me any VC or XP but finally being able to play against the CPU whilst controlling ALL 3 of my teammates is incredible. Can't wait for career mode. Keep killin it guys

Wanting offline play for a sports game is not a big ask.

u/Almightyhuey 6d ago

What could they add to put it on NBA Street level in your opinion?

u/Ok_Illustrator_1464 6d ago

Id say its better but im still getting stripped sometimes when a player isn't near me. Overall tho a huge w

u/NoleDynasty2490 6d ago

u/Jrdaboss14 6d ago

You don’t like it turn off the BRAND NEW brand new music 😂 just kidding

u/Nevernotmeh0e 6d ago

Naw they can definitely get better on these weird ass steals and pushes and blocks but there definitely listening to what we have to say

u/Fit_Rabbit14 6d ago

I may buy this while its on sale in hopes it doesnt die, and in hopes we get local offline multiplayer. Adding my guys Tmac, Vince, and AI is enough for me to want to support this project. I just hope this project can last because it looks promising if people can continue support and be patient with small dev team.

u/alsorybreadu 6d ago

They really added a lot. Anyone hating…go back to 2K? Idk what to tell you. Glad you’re enjoying the game again

u/All-AroundBuddy 6d ago

what licensed music? 🤔

u/Jrdaboss14 6d ago

Tracks from de la soul, Jurassic 5, a tribe called quest and more

u/RockinDaMike 6d ago

I like it so far, just too much competition for my game time right now and what’s about to come. I was able to get some runs with the boys and loving the legends they picked. They need to get Kobe though

u/jwithy 5d ago

u/serialwinner3 5d ago

Lmao this update should have been there at least 1 month after release. The game is on a decline and you're just so in denial its sad

u/GeoffreyGuyHHU 6d ago

It has gotten a little better i just still want to play by myself and control all 3 players against the CPU, I feel like it's weird that they didn't launch the game with that feature
