You can get it free on PS+ right now. After how great MLB The Show '19 was, I was thinking of maybe giving it a chance if it had a similarly good create-a-character mode or something.

On my internet, it takes 75% of the day to download, so I'm not doing that on a whim.

I feel like all ps4s have slowed down. Or maybe just the originals. I feel like I use to DL games twice as fast.

I love it, Im playing it pretty much every day.

the mycareer thing where its just you playing as you can be fun as shit if youre just there to play and have fun. Dont need your guy to be amazing stat wise to be good. Fun little storyline with it too, has you interacting and shit, examples being after a game you can either sign an autograph or say nah.

or you can do the my park or my neighborhood or whatever its called. I love going in there and looking at what shoes and clothes are available, do my training and then usually leave. If youre playing a game there id recommend a Rec Game..... maybe its me but I have 0 luck finding games in the neighborhood.

If you want to do My Team, be ready to spend money and a lot of time not playing games and playing games. It can get addicting, and bad.

If its free you should definitely get it if you even somewhat like basketball or basketball games

I've stopped trusting the franchise entirely because the entire monetization scheme is extremely unethical. I played it a bit for free and generally the controls feel very detached compared to when I last really enjoyed the game (Probably back in 2013ish?). As well, the "Career Mode" feels like an absolute slog with so many uninteresting, pointless cutscenes throughout.

Is the NBA create-a-character mode kinda like they do it in The Show? Like, a log-in bonus each day (item, player, etc.), you train your individual stats based on performance, get drafted, etc.? Overarching challenges to complete and get points to buy "packs" or something? Honestly, the more The Show-ish it is, the more I'd want to try. I just know 2K games are MTX-fueled, so my expectations are cooled appropriately.

Man, I haven't played The Show in a few years. I think I'll pick it up tonight. I always thought their Road to the Show was the most streamlined and effective of the major sports games Career modes, or at least it's the one I got the most out of.

RTTS has a lot of variety, since sometimes you can just focus on pitching and others, batting. I dunno how well that would work in NBA since everyone has to have some shooting prowess. The Show '19 was given out free last year, so you should try it out if y'got it.

In a way, yah.

you create your dude, pick a position and then play a game before doing a bunch of stuff leading up to the draft. You get drafted and you play some games and do some stuff before the season starts.

Youll get badges to add to your player. Point guard could have a playmaker badge making him better at certain passes, Center could have a rebounding badge making him better at certain types of rebounds.

you can go to this Gatorade gym type thing and you do training skills to get your guy a little better for 7 days. Can add up to +3 or +4 to stats.

youll earn fans which leads to sponsorships which leads to more money and more shit available.

its fun

I really miss playing 2k with a friend right beside me. Nothing like your opponent chucking up an F and then having to finish their beer. Shit used to get wild. Drink every dunk. Drink longer if replay of dunk

Kinda sounds like The Show in some aspects. Like, when my pitcher gets a handle on a fastball so well he can throw it with pinpoint accuracy at 98+ MPH, you get the "Cheesy" perk. Or, if you have a wipeout slider, you get the "Knee Buckler" perk. I always liked this kinda stuff. The downside was The Show lets you level stats via RNG availability so you end up save scumming if you really want to max something out.

Dont listen to the micro transaction nonsense. If you plan on playing the game for more than 30 minutes each time then youll have no issue at all making your guy better and getting whatever accessories you want. If you want to be the best and better than everyone as soon as you load the game then yah sure youll need to pay. $20 would make your my player high 80s if not low 90s and will get you plenty of coins left over for packs in My Team or whatever

Exactly.

My center has a little bonus on breakout passes. He doesnt get as fatigued as much from physical dunks and being physical around the rim. Theres a few more.

Point guard can make the tight passes, wont lose the ball as often, has a spot up shooting thing where you get the bonus for shooting right when you catch it, and more.

Nice. I might delete the MLB game (since I play it way too much lmao) and try the NBA one for a change of pace. Don't really have "a team" anymore, though historically it's been the T'wolves and wherever Garnett was playing, so Celtics, etc.

I have an external 2 TB and I still find myself deleting games cause I hoard the free ones on the marketplace

There's still a lot to work on. Defense is unrealistic. Offense can be a chore.

Can be fun in spurts.

Well then you are in luck sir because you can play with those teams, start seasons with those teams, or start seasons with those players.

A part of me has been enjoying this, but I yearn for the simpler MLB controls on everything. There's like 10 different sections on offense, defense, shooting, passing, advanced offense and defense, etc.
