I turn off the shot meter because it’s just not necessary.

Quick and newb question: does the One mode require you to play online? I play on PS4 but I don’t have PSplus

The icon represents your play style. The grey meter is your stamina and depletes over time (short and long term). The one that starts to turn green or red is your mentality meter. If you are all the way red or green, you'll have different boosts/penalties based on your playstyle (shooters shoot, rim protectors block and rebound, etc.).

I've been left with no choice but to use the pass icons when passing into the post, especially depending on where I'm standing on the court.


If I don't use the pass icon, my pass sails over to the other side of the court and gets picked off.


So I write this to say that I don't know what it is but there's some disconnect with the analog stick and pass direction. There are countless times I'm attempting to pass the ball to a guy standing right next to me and instead the pass goes cross court killing an offensive opportunity with a turnover.


I also play on broadcast so it's possible that has something to do with it?



I hope this can be looked at a bit more.

Unlocked the WNBA and NBA game of the day and after a few games I have to admit this is a very fun basketball game to play! Game looks really nice too. Commentary is not the greatest and hopefully something EA can improve on for NBA 20. Love the mix of offense and defensive plays. Saw a play with Green of the Warriors running down the court and making a Two-Handed Block. Looked pretty sweet!

I like how players interact with the environment after a play (running into a cameraman and during a celebration.)

It feels just about right. I'm sure there will be some tweaking of the sliders and patches added after the game is released. Glad I pre-ordered the game. My initial impressions weren't the greatest but after unlocking the other gameplay modes i'm pretty impressed! For those still on the fence, give the demo a try and unlock the other gameplay modes.

I always turn that stuff off but I think I’m going to play some games with it on and check it out. The mentality meter has me intrigued. What kind of things effect this? Are you saying if a guy is a shot blocker and he blocks a shot it goes up?

Definitely need to take a second look at transition defense.

Look at KD on the left side here.

I've never like playing with meters and icons on I like my game to look as real as possible visually. But I find myself using the shot meter a lot in Live so maybe I'll try it and see how it is.
