Out now? I'll buy it when I get home.

Downloaded it earlier, played for a couple hours. I'm enjoying the hell out of it so far. Reminds me of NBA Street for the Cube..

They really need to turn that rumble down a notch or two though. My Switch sounds like an electric razor every time I make a basket or steal a ball.

Looks like a fun game. Will consider buying it once I have my Switch. ^^



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

So - this game is fun, but my god does it get insanely difficult.. I mean I guess I should expect it as I'm all the way to the championship round of like the 7th tourney, but it's like, the game is rigged to work against you at this point. I'm bricking shots with freaking LeBron point blank 2 ft from the basket, meanwhile I'm all over Shaq on defense, hands in his face, and he's draining fadeaway jumpers from half court. And if you stand around for like a second with the ball, they'll swipe it away, yet I'm swiping like mad trying to get a steal and nothing. One attempt I have, I open up like a 12 pt lead, thinking it's finally in the bag, and they get a multiplyer powerup, after which they proceed to drain 3 3 pointers and get like 21 points from it.. Freakin ridiculous brah. So basically barring a miracle I think I'm already stuck for good. Waiting for that online mode to come out now..

Gotta vent a little, because this game is getting maddening haha.

It's a good game, but it looks like vaseline was applied over the game's portable mode for Switch. Still fun to play. 

Sounds like they need to patch the difficulty issues.

But the core of it is fun, I like that it's not quite as simple as NBA Jam. It's a challenging game and unlocking system is cool.

Hum... I think I will wait till next may till I make a decision on the Switch, it still looks like no man´s land software wise...



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

It's not bad. Between Mario Kart, Zelda, NBA Playgrounds, Fast RMX, Shovel Knight, the library is filling out and there's almost always new games added to the eShop weekly now. 

There's more to play on it IMO than the Wii or DS had in its early days.
