Difficulty spikes very early and it spikes way too hard. Shot feedback is terrible. Having to pause at the start to see what bullshittery the opposing team has instead of it being told to you before the game starts. Not showing what the opposing teams stats are is also terrible. Certain teams will just pop 3s at half court non stop and others will just sprint directly into you and perfect dodge your slap attempts. Range doesn't seem to matter at all. Screens making characters walls but holding "defense" and the AI will just walk into you and push you into the paint. Game seems like it's meant to be grinded by just getting reamed for a few hours until you can get free stats to start with. It's a great concept but the balance is dog water.
