Season 5 Community Questions

*UPDATE* 

Thread updated on 1/11 with answers to questions below. They are listed in BOLD.

Hey, NBA Live Mobile fans!

Creating this thread to gather questions from the community. Whatever is on your mind for the next season of NBA Live Mobile, please share them here in numerical or bullet point format. 

Some common questions we see from other mobile titles for example are:

• What currency transfers? NBA Cash, Players, Jerseys, Courts, and Boost items
• What are the device specifications for this year's season? There are no changes to the device specs for this new season
• Are controllers supported? The team is looking into controller support for the future, but as of right now we cannot guarantee any technical issues or support for controllers for this season
• Will any content from this season transfer? Please see the launch prep post
• Loyalty rewards? There are no loyalty rewards going into Season 5. The only loyalty reward are those earned by playing the World Tour campaign. Now and Later packs in Season 4 grant a Season 5 Jersey token that can be used in a set in Season 5.

List whatever is on your mind and we'll get these questions swung up to the team. Thanks!

13. Will you ban the cheaters finally? The team is aware of these reports and are looking for both short and long term solutions. 

14. Will the gameplay be fair finally? This is game balance which the team is always reviewing. They take in feedback from the community, internal data points, and design decision as some factors into this. Opinions will always vary and they're always evaluating where the fine balance of difficulty should be for both the game and AI. Please continue to provide examples on the forums where you think the team should re-evaluate events and gameplay so we can pass it up the chain.

22. Will you not spam us with useless players finally? (we have 5 line-ups --> 50 players ---> and we have about 600-700 useless players and nobody buys them, no matter, that we put them with 100$ to transfer list). Please provide examples to us on the forums of where rewards for events could be better and what type of items you want to see in future campaigns. We'll pass these requests up to the team.

23. Will we able to put back the not sold players with one button, and not clicking 500x to the "not sold" message finally? The team is aware of this request, no information on future changes though.

24. Will we able to sell a group of players with one button with the same price and not putting them one by one to transfer list finally? See previous answer.

25. Do coins/ NBA cash transfer to Season 5 ? Coins do not, Cash does.

26. Is there going to be any change in game modes, i.e. league vs league/showdown/season ? No, improvements to gameplay, animation, and tuning were made. There will be a new NBA Live Events map similar to Madden Mobile's Today's map.

27. There has been numerous complaints about league vs league tournament cheating for months. Is this going to be addressed ? We'll continue to relay this feedback to the team. 

28. Can we keep at least 1-2 lineups we have now, like the multi year lineup and a lineup of our own choice, so either Lockdown or sharpshooter or street? Not in Season 5.

29. Will the PvP arena mode have fair game play and fewer algorithms, meaning I'm not getting outshot by players with a worse 3pt rating and overall team rating as my lockdown lineup has 4 starters having 120+ rating on the 3 and sometimes miss wide open 3s with perfect release. The team made improvements based off this feedback.

30. The matching on Showdown has to be better, sometimes I'm matched up with guys who have a rating of 112 and I have a rating of 108. The team is aware of this feedback, however matchmaking is not completely based off OVR.

31. Intentional fouling in the game? No info, but if this is a request you want to see in the game please continue to add feedback to a constructive post on it why you think it would be a great addition to the game. Include pros and potential cons.

32. Free throw shooting problem needs to be solved? Gameplay improvements have been made.

33. Gameplay again, how's it possible that some Centers with a trash 3pt rating make fadeaway 3s? The team is aware of this.
