Gameplay and new features are good but they are milking the fukk out of people that play mycareer.
Apparently it takes 250k vc just to get to an 85 overall and they took all the vc out of the quests which used to give 100k vc in total last year.
To hit 99 probably gonna cost like 500k vc.

200k vc is $50 so to max your player with animations and gear gonna cost like $150. And the nba games they want you to grind only give 500 vc per game. To max out you'd need to play approximately 1000 nba games which last around 23 minutes each on 5 min quarters.
That's 383 hours of grinding...unless you pay...

:hhh:

It's even worse this year because some badges and animations are tied to overalls. For example, I have an 83 three pointer right now and can't unlock silver limitless range without an 85 three. Complete BS.

that’s been the case since 21…possibly before that

I don't think so. Pretty sure if you had all of your badge upgrades you can allocate them anyway you want. Needing an 89 3 to upgrade limitless range to gold despite having the badge upgrades to do that is a new phenomenon.

Cons:
How do you turn off team takerover in mycareer? Always hated that shyt but it used to be optional to activate. Now it turns on automatically.
Progress doesn't reset when activate your own takeover and make a bad play either, so it's guaranteed to turn on. If i wanted to control the whole team i woudn't be playing mycareer, it's a playerlock mode. My main complaint

Also the vc prices are ridiculous, i got the version with 100K vc and still couldn't afford to get my player to 85 and buy animations.

Still a bit glitchy, my game has crashed several times, and been buggy on occasion as well.

Pros:

Like the tunnel and lockerroom intro to games, feels more immersive. like that they brought back the halftime show(although it looks like a half ass effort) i like seeing a summary of the game events at the half. always appreciate more immersive presentations in the actual games, problem they always introduce stuff and remove stuff each season, would like them to try using everything at once one year and see what thats like, (emember when the coach would go over the game plan at the half in the lockerroom? I liked that too.) Just make sure everything is skippable.

I liked that you can select you team from the beginning and play who you wanna play with, I enjoy being able to climb the ranks from highschool to the NBA in previous games, and random drafting makes sense logically. but having to demand a trade halfway through your rookie season broke all that immersion anyways. So might as well just like us choose at the beginning.

hmm I might be misunderstanding what y’all saying then but I explicitly remember not being able to choose/select certain badges until you reached a specific rating
