The new Pro Stick shooting technique feels nice and has potential. Keeps its strong gameplay and realistic graphics foundation.
In MyTeam it's even trickier to progress without spending real money. MTX are annoyingly everywhere. It's been at a standstill for years.

Gorgeous game
Love the commentary from Kenny, Shaq and others
Off-the-ball AI is good (on offence anyway)
You can turn the new shot mechanic off
Not overbearing with its microtransactions

I don't think the new shot mechanic is a good direction for the franchise
MyPlayer Story is the worst yet
The Clippers are bad and we all know this now but they keep winning in MyLeague
