I get about 4 or 5 blocks per game which is right around league average. If I'm getting blocked a lot usually I'm spamming turbo and constantly driving the lane. If okafor is standing under the basket I'm not trying. I feel like this game will turn into an arcade dunk fest if they tune blocking too much.

Mid range game is a problem and I think it's because the defense is too good. That's right I said it lol. Guys are blanketed all the time and even running plays its hard to get an uncontested look. I also think what the game considers contested could be tweaked a bit.

Auto subs, CPU trading, CPU use of timeouts all need to be fixed.

Free throws with the shot meter are way too easy. The free throw slider at 0 or 100 makes no difference. I feel at zero the green should be tiny and be more unforgiving if you don't hit green.

Passing and calling for screens needs tweaking. The circle around the player isn't equating to who the ball or screen is going to all the time.

Love the game though guys. Really enjoying it.

Possible. I saw some very natural blocks. I think offensive players need a bit more awareness.

I might have video of Kyrie releasing his layup early to avoid Embid's outstretched arm.

I know Kyrie is Kyrie.

I will say this. Embid had 3 blocks in the first and 3 more the rest of the game. It did look like the Celtics started to adjust.

Have had my time with both games and I love them both for different reasons. Since this is Live specific I love how Live feels on the court. I can't put my finger on it but I just do. I don't wanna make it sound negative by sound it feels more simple to play. But that's what makes it good to me. It reminds me of how I played video game basketball back in the day while the other game challenges my real game smarts. So both will be in rotation for months to come no doubt. Keep building in this EA.

Enjoying the game so far. However EA needs to work on the player likeness. Kyle Lowry of the Raptors is an example of this. Doesn't look like him at all.

Not sure if this is an impression but this game caused me to be late for work today. Had a thriller going my Lakers vs the Hornets. Up by 4 at the end of 3 but had to finally cut it off. I will say this about this game. Pure fun with sim aspects mixed in.

Embiid is a beast. The ability to block shots and hit 3 pointers is deadly. 76ers is a popular team i see online.

A lot of feedback i see contains to offline. Most of these things in a head to head game isnt a issue. I hope the developers can tweak accordingly for a offline slider set and keep tweaks for the online sliders separate.

Kyle Lowry didn't get much love in the video game world. He looks pretty brutal in live. In 2k he looks more like him but his head is huge. Looks like a bobble head.

Looks like him to be, maybe a little skinnier.
