Is Play Now the Forgotten Mode or the Most Played Mode?

Re: Is Play Now the Forgotten Mode or the Most Played Mode?

I'm the same now. Working full time and being a full time care giver gives me a chance to get maybe an hour of gaming a day during the week and maybe 2 on the weekend. Madden nba and wwe 2k get my sport time. F1 gets my race time and RPGs like persona 4 and 5 clean up the rest. Add in trying to get a few missions in open world games and I find o have no time for season or career modes

I have a career and family but I'm the complete opposite. I haven't touched Play Now and most games in years. I only play Franchise modes or Career modes. I like the sense of progression.

Love the play now mode . I like to play with the weather  and put teams against each other that don’t match up in a season .

I’ve always enjoyed play now and like to play as many different teams to play as  some of my current players and as some of the former players on nba 2k especially. I love having historic teams and the  fact that you can download rosters from certain seasons like the 2002-2003 season on nba 2k is a blast to use. That’s when  McGrady, Kobe,  Iverson, and Shaq we’re at the height of their super powers. And you also had. MJ in his last yr.  I get tired of using same team over and over in franchise.  In play now, i honestly try to use some of my favorite players and try to recreate  some of their  moves or highlights they were known for

That is the only mode I really play to be honest...believe I or not, but me and my friends still play sports game in play now in couch co-op and the loser pass the controller to the next player

I play season mode, and try to mirror the real-life seasons as best i can. I'm not into creating a "fantasy" hockey universe (i.e. franchise mode), and I'm not a 10 year old kid, so I don't collect cards or fool around with ultimate teams.

I play this mode maybe once or twice a season. I am a franchise junkie. I will say that I have to agree with MLB the Show. I can't help but feel that baseball games have taken some of the fun out it by not allowing players some free roam gameplay after the play has ended. It almost feels robotic that once the ball is hit, the play is pretty much done and out of the game players hands. The animations take over the play, make the catch, throw the ball back to the pitcher, than off to the next play. There is very little involvement. I miss being able to throw the ball around post play. It gave a feeling of belonging and allowed us to see the different animations at work. I have to say that since the MVP days, baseball hasn't felt fun. The little intricacies make for great presentation, but does very little for the fun factor.

I have to say that I thought I was the only one. Good to see some people who get me. Haha

And thanks for all the great responses.

I did not think there were going to be more than 5 people saying they use Play Now.

This is me entirely. I used to want to get through a franchise mode and actually stopped purchasing sports games because I realized getting through a franchise was not possible. Now that I focus on Play Now only, I have much more fun with my sports games (assuming the game is any good).
