Me too! And frankly its a one-dimensional game. But the season mode is well-done and there's just enough progression to keep it interesting.

I think it's too hard to get the best players though. It's kind of like myteam..... you want to build a team but the game mode stops you from being able to get and use the best NBA players. That's a little strange.

Yeah I have about 330 quick games played. I just now am in the middle of my first season and I am enjoying the way it is run. And doing good so far! 23-4.

It's not a problem of upgrading with this one. It's a problem of really, really low drop rates for epics and legendaries. I have pulled 3 epics from the ~6000 picks I've gotten from quick games. And there are people with 17k picks with no legendaries. Anyway this derails my thread a little. There's a myteam mobile thread in the 2k current gen forum, check it out if you haven't seen it.

I don't even know what Konami is doing with MGS anymore.
Off-topic but I was thinking about getting MGS 5. What do you not like about it?

It's been a while since I saw that video that was released of the gameplay, but when it got to the part where Snake was taking on multiple enemies, taking damage from everywhere, had regenerating health, and was blowing up a pursuing tank with C4...

I was like...this is not Snake.

Not saying it'll be a bad game (I believe in Hideo's ability to tell a story), but I remember the days of having to be super careful, because if you were spotted, you were ******.

Snake, once again, has regenerating health...but this time it's in the course of battle, doesn't seem to be something aided by the user's decisions and using in-game items (dunno if they're in or not, but in the video, the blood splotches that represent damage slowly fade away).

My favorite MSG is Snake Eater. So you can kinda see why those sort of changes would make me say "hold up, son."
