"In a month or so" doesn't mean an exact month.

Good article...


You probably missed THE most important change though...and that is the CPU's massively improved passing, as opposed to the initially released version where almost all cpu players simply charged the paint like a mad bull.

Now, they pass the ball around the perimeter, kick out, find the open man.

At release, there simoly was no mid range game. Literally, none. You could finish a game and check the shot chart and it was all three balls and paint shots.

Now, there is a nice mid range game...the cpu passes it around, pulls up, catches and shoots

That has been by far the biggest gameplay improvement post release imo.

I agree that something close to 7/10 is a fair score now.

The game still lacks a season or dynasty mode of any note. And rewind games simply don't work.

In one off games v the CPU it is almost worthy of an 8/10 now...in exhibition mode / one off games etc it is by far the best LIVE in a long, long time.

........but the overall lack of depth means a 6.5 to 7 out of ten is fair. It lacks anything close to the depth you would expect in a next gen sports game.

I agree that passing and the mid range game have improved quite noticeably and a surprising omission in an otherwise good ( and needed I should add) article that outlines the games recent progress. We can't score the game higher that a 7 or so in its current state in regards to depth of Dynasty and other modes. From a pure gameplay standpoint, we can score a bit higher, however, would truly like to see expanded player uniqueness, post game, etc, to push it to the top. They have laid a great foundation this year, can't say it enough!

Once they add more animations especially in the post, refine the modes they have now especially dynasty, and add more control options, then the game can be an 8. Until then, it's about a 6-7.

I have to give this another chance if it is $20 on Xbox One. Does anyone know if there has been an increase of people online? I'm an 100% online gamer.
