Great game

Surprisingly amazing for mobile. The graphics, gameplay and everything is extremely close to console 2k. I play alot when im in the hospital with sickle cell disease.

Great game

It’s a great game but for mycareer, I’m begging for a story mode

Game play

While in association season made I have selected manual substitutions but every time I try and substitute who I pick it keeps changing it. Everytime I try to call a timeout to change line up it keeps putting in whoever even when the player is already physically exhausted. I’m not paying for apps where cpu still does whatever it want regardless of control and game settings.

It’s Solid

Its okay but man it feels empty I kinda wish they copied over some features from the console Mileage feels meh like its good but I wish it was the console version at the very least

I wish they just took the ps5 game and downscaled it to fit macOS or iPhones its possible cause phones can play titles like Wawa and NTE so its possible

Comentary sucks as well I kinda wish they just port over the comentary from the console fully

Presentation is fine its easy to navigate the menu allthough it feels clunky when using a controller Again just drop a port of the console menu

Honestly id take a cloud version of 27 Playing this feels weird but it isn’t bad its just not the console version
