Difficulty

I’ve started playing this after a long time on console 2K and I’ve cranked the difficulty up to pro and it feels way more difficult than pro on console. Like in MyCareer your teammates stop passing to you. It’s impossible to run a pick and roll and even when you’re wide open the green window feels very small and on console I nearly always play on pro difficulty

Not good

Great game. A lot of bugs

This game is awesome for mobile. There are bugs such as. 1. Will not let you inbound the ball. 2. Doesn’t count points sometimes 3. Gives extra points to other team and counts them as free throws that was never shot. The inbound one is the most common. Giving it one star because the longer I play it the more it lags I have the newest iPhone there is no reason it should be lagging

Nothing like real 2k

One step closer to the console version

Awesome great improvements over 25 arcade edition one thing k think it’s missing is the smoothness in gameplay like dribbling and shooting if they can smooth out the gameplay and animations so it’s looks more realistic and a big request I have is that you add jump into game for simcast live one of my favourite features in the 2k console version
