The city is wayA lot of potentials, had features that felt great in theory but it did not execute to the real game.The game feels messy. The city is way too big, the gameplay feels really slow and sloppy. The dribbling is not ideal at all. It's just repeating the same dribble moves again until you get open. Defense is non-existent in this game. The defender that is playing perimeter defense keeps sliding no matter what attributes, shot-blocking is absolutely impossible, and Interceptor is too overpowered. The badges are very unbalanced. For example, like the "Hot Shot" badge, this badge allows you to get the takeover (A huge bonus for the player's attributes and abilities for a limited time when you play well). Blinders, which absolutely gives no contest to defenders when they are contesting from the side. The game always comes out uncompleted. The lag and sloppy movements were extreme, it was really unplayable. They "say" they fix those in the patches later on, but the problem still exists. When the game came out, the moving fade 3s were too overpowered and they took a long time to fix the problem. They always fix it too late. The game just feels bad. The player builder is very unbalanced, (Like giving way more badges to a certain position) and everyone has exactly the same builds, heights, weights, attributes, and everything. The game is really bad.

I STARTED PLAYING MADDEN AND THE SHOW FOR CHRISTS SAKE.

Constant Internet connection required with no temporary saves and am extremely bad net code makes this game one of the worst in the currentConstant Internet connection required with no temporary saves and am extremely bad net code makes this game one of the worst in the current generation if not all time. Gameplay on the court is fine but you often do not get the chance to end the game. Do not pause the game at any time unless you want to loose all your progress. I hope they learn from their mistake in the future but they probably won't.

Probably the worst next-generation game available on PS5. This game is almost offensive to someone who has studied basketball their entireProbably the worst next-generation game available on PS5. This game is almost offensive to someone who has studied basketball their entire life. Players like Ricky Rubio shouldn’t be dunking, this isn’t NBA Playgrounds. This gameplay is what a non-basketball fan would picture a game of basketball to go. And please do not get me going on the terrible servers and the constant need to use micro transactions in order to succeed. This might be the worst simulation basketball game I’ve ever played alongside NBA Live 14. But this one is just sinful and I would love for 2K to take a step back and look at the game and take in account what the fans want rather than what they imagine in their crazy pipe dream. We need more variety to choose from other than this one abysmal basketball game, but i guess i’ll keep playing because they have monopolized the whole market with mediocre mechanics and a terrible dev and support team.
