I know for certain they promised pre release that playbooks would be constantly updated all season with real plays for each coach added....just hoping that was not more of their infamous pre release talk that never eventuates as that will be awesome. Re play on PRO......no i do not play on pro Pro is way too easy imo.

Any source for the info about an opening night patch? If so, that would be awesome. I personally haven't touched the game much myself waiting for a gameplay patch.

Hadn't played it in a while either.....but I checked it out this morning and no, the offenses aren't generally looking for anything but 3's and driving unless forced into something at the end of the shot clock.

TBH, you should be able to sag off bigs without them turning on guard speed and making dashes to the basket...

Where did you hear about the day 1 patch?

Just bought this game two days ago off Amazon for $43 for the Xbox One. So far the only mode I've been able to play is Pro Am so I can only base my opinion on that. Reason being that there's hardly any people on when I'm playing so it's hard to get a game in on ranked/myteam. ( I think the most I've seen was like 101 people online and most of those people seem to be in Pro Am.) With that being said, I feel like Pro Am is a pretty solid mode and the main reason I bought the game. I'm really loving it because it takes me back to my days of playing "Street Hoops" on the PS2. How many of yall remember that old school bball game modeled after And 1? Now with Pro Am, I decided to create a 6'8 215 pound Lebron-ish SF. From what I'm seeing, it's really hard to play defense in this mode.
The offensive side of this mode is pretty good. I like how my player moves freely & isn't forced to do some stupid animation like in the other bball game. There's two things that irritate me when it comes to offense. The first is the amount of ballhogs I run into. It seems like I always get that point guard that wants to act like he's Hot Sauce from And 1 and dribble like crazy til the clock runs out. This isn't a problem on EA's part, but I just felt like I had to say it. The second thing I hate about offense, which messes with the defensive side of the game/mode, is that it's way too easy for people to score. There's way to many layups being made by small players in the paint & way too many 3s are going in. I'm also hating some of the animations I'm getting while playing inside the paint on offense so I wish they would add more in there.
With that being said, I still find myself enjoying this mode & will continue to play it for the rest of the year. The graphics are really nice. Don't feel like scanning my own face into the game so I can't really speak on that, but I'm seeing some nice scans from the other players I've run into. The atmosphere/sound is really good as well.

Last night I was going to delete the demo but I wanted to give the game another chance. I haven't played it since mid September. But everything was locked and the only option was to purchase the game. No pro-am. Nothing. My character was on the screen. Is this normal? I thought the demo allowed you to at least play pro am for free.

So I just deleted the game. Wasn't about to buy it. Lol. I'm on PS4 btw.

I think that happened with the demo right after the game released. I think if you delete the demo and redownload it will unlock it again.

From me. There should be one dropping in a few weeks, depending on cert. Both games are targeting 30-45 day patches for gameplay tweaks.

Maybe I'm. Playing a different version but I love this game! Cpu AI and pull up jumpers seriously needs to be addressed!
