Best nba game on mobile it feels like playing on console
Lazy development
1kvo
I’ve been playing this game since the first release back in 2023 and I can’t believe it’s gotten worse year by year. The whole point of a new game is have new things, and while there are a few new things, some of the things that were asked for fell on deaf ears. Commentary is bad and lacks consistency and sometimes cuts out for periods of the game. Cut aways on timeouts/halftime/ start of the game been the same forever no real playoff atmosphere or commentary or even stats which is embarrassing at this point. Player tendencies are all wrong only Shai the only decent one. Star players not wearing signature shoes or even having updated hair is bizarre. How is there less shoes this year than last??? Where are the actual shoes being worn in real life. The fake lagging because the ai tryna catch the lead is also very lazy and honestly you guys might be passed saving this game or any others for that matter with the lack of monthly updates. People pay monthly to be able to play this game and this is the experience they get in return. Terrible development of this game overall. The potential is there and what’s being asked isn’t anything special but what should already be in the game. Understandable it’s a mobile game but that didn’t stop COD from going all out on theirs.
Worse than 10 years ago

Pretty terrible they have kept taking away features. I remember buying nba 2k15 on regular App Store and it was miles ahead of this rubbish. For starters you can’t even buy VC so no wonder they put 0 effort into making this game. They really need to fix up because people will want handhelds and if they got this right they would be a step ahead
New update now unplayable
