Practice Mode (Rant)

[DonWuan]

What the hell was EA thinking. They haven't released a game in years and while trying to introduce a new dribbling system there is no practice mode.

When 2k does something like this its not as bad. Because they release yearly. Controls normally change but since we are use to the game, doesn't have a steep learning curve. I only bring up 2k because the shooting is similar to this years release.
You have off balanced/contested/set shots etc but we need to miss a few in the middle of a game to figure out timing.

Been 4 years since last retail release and we have nothing to practice with. How do we learn release points, takeoff areas for layup/dunk, dribbling combos etc.

I personally spend hours in practice mode. With every basketball game to try to learn momentum and timing.

I know they tried putting out a fully featured game but practice mode seems simple. Pick home/away team with empty court with no crowd. Doesn't have to look pretty or special, just let us switch players.

I swear I seen a video with kyrie Irving in a practice type arena. Probably a little to late but I wonder can they patch this stuff in.

Yea man it's unfortunate, but I mean what in the world were you expecting? The game looked bad before launch and it proved to be even worse after launch. You couldn't have been expecting a quality product here with EA's recent history. That's why so many of us decided to pass on live.

That said this is unfortunate and hopefully this is something that they will patch in if they chose to continue supporting this game.

Not sure if you know this, but DonWuan likes the game. Nowhere did he state that he didn't like the game. He's disappointed that they don't have a practice mode, much like myself. This is a quality product in a lot of people's eyes, mine included.

Our hopes are that they include it in the patch. I'm pushing hard for it. We'll see.
