Stopped playing after day one. Said I would try again once patched. These seem like steps in the right direction

Good to see the shot meter and player additions...however, any word on getting the Sonics added (or at the very least Sonic versions of players like Kemp, Allen, and Payton)?

Any notice a difference in difficulty in the tournaments?

It appears like the difficulty of some of the tournament challenges will be changed. But as of gameplay difficulty, I haven't noticed anything.

Loving all that....

Especially the alt Shaqs and new players, some big names there, I hope they add different versions of other players too, seems an easy to way expand the roster.

Also echo the need for addition of the Sonics.

I like that they keep adding players. Really excited for T-Mac. Really want Muggsy Bouges in the game if possible though.

I feel like adding a shot meter is going to cancel out any additional difficulty they may have added to 3-point shooting. People are still going to master the timing and it'll probably be a 3 point fest again sooner or later with defense still being a non-factor (unless you block the shot).

We'll see, I guess.

**sarcasm alert**

shot meter!! yeeeeeeeeeeee

now we miss only custom players upgradable thorugh VCs and play against guys with pink hair and max levels 8'11 tall!

**sarcasm alert ended**

c'mon, instead of simplify the shots add couch online 2vs2!
.. and cross platform matches
.. and buzzer beaters
.. and increased AI IQ to let it beat the clock instead of milking under by 1-2 points
.. and local custom tournaments

Im not a fan of the shoot meter. I picked up after 1 day on how to dunk n shooting is fine.. I hope the meter doesnt throw me off but guys its great ur adding players but we need modes.. We need something else to do in order to get these players....

im tired of playing who scores 1st 10 wins....
