might want to keep an eye out for @easportsnba too just confirmed create a player

[ThreeKing]

Just said it in the other thread, but zero chance I purchase this game now with no sliders.

Can't force people to play the game a certain way. This isn't 1988 on the Nintendo.

[Live2K]

Can somebody ask if user accounts or guests can go online for multiple users in a play now game.

Thx

No sliders? I knew about the roster editing but.......sogh

[snocone]

So you can create a player, but you can't edit a roster.


Sounds like they straight-up have the exact same systems that are causing so much hate as NHL has. SMH

[SageInfinite]

Pretty unacceptable to have no sliders in this generation. Hell what would it be worth if they had them and they didn't work like some other games *cough* Madden *cough*.
