This will be a none BS review and straight to the point..... (My Career Review, Main game is great but just reviewing the main part/selling point of the game).

Now you are wondering why i said this game is recommended, Read on to find out.

Pros:

-Gameplay is fun
-Ingame music is good and filled with a variety of popular songs/old hits
-Customization is great (Avalible options)
-The My Park idea is great
-You feel like an actual NBA player (Online)
-The whole my career aspect is good, just is really really laggy/buggy and needs to be fixed overall.

Now onto the biggest list

Cons:

-Constant Network Errors (Im on a gigabit connection, so its not me)
-My Park feels delayed, like im connected to a US/EU server when im from AUS/NZ
-I would say P2W but its more Pay to have fun
-Tall players dominate the game
-Shoes/any decent customizations are expensive
-CANT SKIP ANY CUTSCENES
-You cant hit 3 pointers from deep unless you get lucky
-Your more likely to hit a shot that wont hit than will hit
-Layups are easier than anything else
-You have to be able to play 12 hours daily to be anywhere near close to getting your badges maxed this year......
-You must pay for everything (unless you get a sponsor deal, where you get to choose some ugily shoe and then get paid nothing at all to wear them whilst playing in and out of the NBA aspect of the career mode)
-Playing pro-am in a team with friends will never happen
-Lists people on your ingame friendslist who dont have the game, and doesnt list those who do
-Impossible to invite friends to your game
-Good luck playing if you dont want to buy VC, otherwise you may aswell just pass the ball all game and hope your teamates can shoot
-The list goes on and on and on

I have to many things to list for cons, not enough pros, enough said. This game i would refund to get my 180 NZD back if i could, Absalutely a waste of time and money yet i still play it, why you ask? because if you remove the network errors,ping delays/delay when moving on the park, change the price of items and do a bit of bug fixing it may be one of the best nba games ever.

Now look not many people like the fact that you have to buy the game and then spend money on your character, but i wouldnt mind that at all if there was no issues.

As a PC player i expect, at least from a AAA game developer that the game would not have constant network issues, especially when it is basically saying 'our servers are good, its just your internet' when i have the best avalible internet in the southern hemisphere.

So overall, i give it a 5.5/10 with the catchphrase "If you have money, your a better player" and im just going to say, maybe wait a bit before you buy it as currently in this state, its just more of a money grab than a actual game, it needs allot of work and for the issues to be fixed. After that it will be a really enjoyable game.

To cut a very long story and review short. It's as if WarZ/Infestation/Escape From Tarkov/S.T.A.L.K.E.R/DayZ Had a child that had a very abusive child hood but can grow up to be something better and more sucessful than his/hers parents.

Really fun game with very high rpg potential
