Updated Gameplay Input [Necessary]

In my honest opinion, I really love this game and the content it offers. The gameplay on the other hand is unfair and unbalanced. This recent update has its pros but also it’s *. The * of this update is that, the sharpshooter lineup has broken manual switching, the AI makes way too many contested shots, the AI sets WAYYYYY to many screens on offense. I feel as though when I face a lower overall team I should have the advantage gameplay wise (making 70-85% of shots and shutting down on defense), for the even matchups it should be balanced, and for the AI to have the advantage then it would be acceptable for them to make almost all their shots. Another thing is the stats should have an impact on the player(s) performance (if they have a 113 3pt shot, I should be able to make majority of the wide open 3s and some maybe half of the contested ones. The screens are absolutely annoying, like I get the AI needs to do what they need to do to win, but every possession is unacceptable. Lastly, the sharpshooter, lockdown, and street lineup should have their strengths (hints their names). Sharpshooter should be good at shooting, Lockdown should be good at defense, and Street should be good at finishing/mid-range.

Hey! First of I want to thank you for letting us, the community to report the gameplay issues and help improve NBALM. 

So lets start with the gameplay. Overall sometimes doesn't matter. Some cards have high overall, but are bad. Like the surge and storm James Worthy. Me personally looking at his stats just makes me sad to see a high overall player having bad stats. 

Superstar player have bad stats too. We know that they get boosted after completing their ability, but their other stats are completely the same. 

So with the campaigns, we see a lot of the same campaigns and what makes them ever worse, is that they are P2W. Of course, not all of the re-used campaigns are bad. Like the dynamic duos from the previous season. 

I would like to have a option to run plays when playing, like you open up a pack which you can pull plays, like you can pull the Lakers playbook. 

The other idea is to pull a single play, that play belongs to 1 of the 30 NBA teams. So lets say to the Nets. So for example the Nets have 7 plays in their playbook, so you try to collect them and if you get all 7, you unlock their playbook. And so you open the pack up and get the playbook + rewards for completing the playbook set. And if you want to have even more options, then have historic playbook. Like those plays from the Michael Jordan Bulls plays, like the triangle offence.

Would also like to have new camera angles. The option to change the graphics of the game. To fix the fans screaming, like when I hit a clutch shot on my court, the fans start screaming, like as you play the match longer, the louder the screams are. So at the end of the match they explode with screams. I don't if this is on IOS, but it surely is on Android. 

This is a bit of a stretch, but I would like for the game to have themes, like for example switch from season 4 theme to season 1 theme with the United States map. So like everything changes from the main menu. From Luka Doncic to Russell Westbrook. The music changes to the season 1 music. Even the the lineup page changes and the campaign page changes.

To let you select what music you want to hear. Some of the music I don't like and want to change the music so I turn off the music.

Oh also, you need to fix contest. Like when you go for a layup, it's never challenged, it's either open or contested. Same with jumpshots, my PG can't make a contested 3 pointer, but then I get a challenged 3 pointer, then he makes it. Like centers have bad 3 point rating, but can hit deep 3 pointers

These are all my complaints right now. 

Would be appreciated if you could reply me when you read message.

I play and love NBA live games (console and mobile) since 1994, and I never saw the Gameplay so unbalanced and problematic like this.

- AI doesn't miss a single shot;

- We're getting even less rebounds;

- Defense became useless. For all lineups.

- Our players are absurdly badly positioned, always leaving a corridor for AI to drive and also leaving SG and/or SF completely free to score 3s from the corners. 

- We can't hold the guard, our players keep moving as if they had rollers on ice.

Because of that it's really hard to steal and block;

- When we can finally steal or block, the AI grabs the ball anyways. It happens very often the we block 3, 4 times in a roll and the AI just keeps getting the ball the until they score.

- Our players run over each other;

- Shaq and others big men still crazily hitting 3s no miss from every place of the court;

- Impossible to fastbreak. Our players just stop and wait for the AI to comeback to defense. Or the pass just goes for the players behind. 

- Pass/change players button seriously slow and late.

- Switching players not working for Sharpshooter lineup (or ultimate lineup with SS coach) and poorly working for Street and Lockdown. Often changing to the wrong player;

- Auto switch not working as well. Very very late and very often switching to the wrong player or just not switching;

- Impossible to win the Tip-off. Our player is always late! Probably because they tried to fix the 3vs3 starting earlier, so now we always start late... everywhere!

- Still often missing open dunks, layups and perfectly release 3s free shots. 

- Why have the option to not see slow motion if every AI dunk is slow motion anyways and we can't move our players nor try to defend, block, switch players,  etc.

- All those problems become even stronger in LvL games. When we just can't defend at all and AI plays with 5 Jordans.

Trying to play normally just became useless. Everyone lowering their ovrls and fulfilling their lineups with low ovrls ability players shows that very clearly. 

The conclusion is: What was already not working well, became even worse. What was working fine, now is broken and glitchy.

That's my view on the "new Gameplay". They just did exactly the opposite we were asking!
