Re: NBA Live mobile - Arena mode Feedback request
Really enjoying the Arena gamemode so far. Been a long time player since S1 and I've been waiting for a real-time gamemode since the soft launch.
Couple of key concerns:
Abilities - Whilst I understand the need for abilities on cards, their effect on the gamemode should be reduced. In the premium tournament, I've found myself facing against squads with 3 - 4 clutches and from 4 minutes onwards, they're able to shoot guaranteed shots for the remainder of the game. I'm not a robot so you can't expect me to make a defensive stop every single time Clutch is used. I either match every shot they take or I just insta-lose. It's gotten to the point where playing without an ability is an automatic defeat.
Defence: The options for playing defence are so limited, and are so easily punished. Unless you're playing on insanely good internet, it's almost impossible to effectively react to jumpshots with a block attempt, it's mostly just prediction. And steals. Absolutely useless. A steal attempt will almost never work on a dribbling opponent, and very rarely do people play the triple-threat due to this. A steal attempt will give the opponent space for a jumper, or an easy drive to the rim.
Offence: Lower team OVR opponents should not be making more contested jumpers than I do with WIDE open jumpers. This happens too often so either revamp the system or at least make your shot feedback more accurate, because if it's green across all three feedback rows, then it should be going in.
I'm excited for S4 and I hope you consider the feedback I've given. Will continue to play and support this game, so make sure the game is at its best. 🙂
