Got the Admiral. Tournaments the only way to unlock players right?

You get kinda like xp just from playing any game, but once the bar fills up you unlock packs, but you can unlock them faster from winning tournaments

Tournaments give you gold packs, which have rarer drops from what I understand.

I see someone on Xbox is at 25. Don't know if it's capped.

He's on the Cavs? On the loading screen he's wearing a Sonics jersey.

Does anyone consider themselves good at rebounding? I'm baffled.

Well the Sonics aren't a team in the game as far as I can tell. My Kemp card has him on the Cavs. Not sure if there are different versions of the same player though.

Yeah, same. Need more stuff for Switch so may hold out.
Also, is your avatar a gender bent Zorro? Love it xD

If I remember correctly, I think Kemp was only fat when he was with the Orlando Magic.
Nope

Steph is ridiculous. Pairing him with Bill Walton for defense and rebounding is virtually unstoppable
Once I win all the tournaments I'll try other setups but for cruising through this pairing is OP

Nope. 3's are so easy unless you're up against someone with effective blocking. I hope it gets tweaked in a patch because it's easier rn to score 3's than layupsSo I'm hoping it feels a little deeper once online play becomes available, but for the single player for now is there any reason to not just jack 3's? This was like my 3rd played game ever:
I'm still holding out. For now, I'm just playing NBA Jam on iOS to cure the itch.
Yep, she's one of my favorite cosplayer Amie Lynn.
Deciding on this too- which version did most go with?
A bit fuzzy in terms of player models, but totally playable. Gameplay is exactly as good as PS4. I bought it on both haha.
My god this game sucks. I will be deleting it and asking Nintendo for a refund. probably won't get it, so that's a $20 mistake. The shooting is terrible. All it says is early or late when the ball touches the basket so you can't judge the timing and it seems like the timing is different for every shot type, and you can never tell which type of shot type you will do.
Also, the AI on rookie seems to do leaping dunks from the 3pt line and never misses.
I'm sure I could spend hours learning how all this works, but it just feels so bad like an old flash game or something with the polish and feel of the controls.

Had some trouble in the Finals of the France playground against Chris Paul and Blake Griffin but I beat them eventually...by 17.
Super fun game, addictive as all hell.

I'm not a graphics whore, but the blurriness might bother me. It did with snake pass on the switch. But, I think I'd get more play out of this game on the switch...
I played for less than an hour and figured it out. It depends on the players you pick too.

Outside chance they could fix it but it doesn't bother me much at all.

I'm trying to decide which version I want between Switch and PS4. Is it worth pulling the trigger on this now, or waiting for updates?

Just beat these two with Durant and Kawhi. Man they were annoying!
If you're not traveling a ton in the upcoming future, get it on PS, then buy it again on switch when it's on sale one day if you really like it.

Chris Paul is a bully, kept stealing my lunch money.

Pretty sure anyone with a green (7 or above I think) rating doesn't miss 3s. I just played as Jason Kidd and took nothing but 3s and never missed once.
Still struggling with layups though!

Yeah that was getting ridiculous lol. As soon as I got past half court I was passing lol.
For everyone asking if they should get it for Switch vs. PS4, I have it for both. Here are my impressions.
- Switch online isn't working yet - so if that's a huge deal to you, wait.
- Graphics aren't a huge deal to me, the blurryness isn't horrible. If I had this game only for Switch I wouldn't complain. If it matters to you a ton, get PS4.
- Gameplay is exactly the same. 60 fps on both.
- Loading times are worse on Switch, but they are working patching apparently.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Kawhi, Adams, and Lillard.
Kawhi looks like Flint Flossy, sans mustache.
Thanks I wish there was some comparison shots. I can wait a few days for online play...
I'd try it but the Switch screenshot feature has terrible compression and wouldn't do the difference justice. If you're that worried about graphics, then just buy PS4. The thing is though, this is an arcade basketball game...it's all really about the gameplay for this one IMO.
Ok, just bit the bullet on Switch u_u. Man, at first I thought I was only going to buy zelda/mario kart/mario odyssey and have my switch largely unplayed, but I think I've been playing more Switch than my PC (and also bought fast rmx and blaster master zero).
About to play this game in a few mins once its done downloading

Played about 2 hours straight and I'm really liking it. It's simple yet complicated enough to keep things interesting. So far I've onky. Played single player which can be surprisingly challenging. It feels like the perfect fit for the switch despite some of the issues(slight blurryness, load times).It plays pretty much how I expected it too and I can see it being a goto local multiplayer game for me. Glad to have it in my library.
Edit: just played in tv mode and the game looks fine so I guess it's just hand-held that suffers from the blurryness.
