This is an incredibly fun game with controls and pacing. It will be the best basketball game I’ve ever owned if/when they patch these two near game breaking issues in The League.
The first is scoring. At first I thought it was scaling to account for shorter quarters so I switched to full game 12 minute quarters. It still happens which means I’ve identified a critical bug.... shots randomly score totally wrong. Pass to the paint for a dunk: 3 points!?!? Shoot an open 3: 4 points!!! In League games. This is possibly a bug where streetball court battle scenarios are leaking over to NBA games, I don’t know. But it needs to be fixed immediately.
The second is substitutions. I just played a critical overtime where no star saw the court other than my created One player. I even tried calling all my timeouts hoping to get the computer to make substitutions to get my other starters on the court. Imagine a game seven overtime where a coach benches Lebron or Steph Curry. That’s the League mode every time, and every game. I’m always on the court with guys who would play 4 minutes a game in real life. Again, needs to be fixed immediately.
