They also finally added a leaderboard in the stats menu, although I don't know why they split players between West and East, but at least it's there I created my player, but didn't try that mode yet, seems deeper though Overall it seems a nice upgrade vs 2k17, at least in terms of game modes Disappointed with controls.

They had a good NHL2K game that broke with iOS 10 (or was it 9?), and just got abandoned. Loosey101 Active Member Oct 12, 2015 35 0 6 #16 Loosey101, Sep 21, 2017 How is gameplay For those of you that have played, does gameplay feel any different this year? Watching videos, everything looks exactly the same, just a different menu layout and association mode. Are replays still broken, does the game slow down after a few quarters, does it look any better, etc? KazeNiNare New Member Sep 21, 2017 1 0 0 #17 KazeNiNare, Sep 21, 2017 Can you do 2k camera in regular games or is it just broadcast? Admiral Bison Well-Known Member Apr 26, 2016 100 5 18 #18 Admiral Bison, Sep 21, 2017 strange why is that? I am not big on soccer personally , but recognize the FIFA series is huge and appreciate that it is up there with Madden, NBA LIVE/2K etc.. and wouldn't mind playing that on my iPad from time to time. also how come there is no paid Madden either? -licensing -exclusivity and timing -not enough demand (I am skeptical of this) ?!?!? Admiral Bison Well-Known Member Apr 26, 2016 100 5 18 #19 Admiral Bison, Sep 22, 2017 Last edited: Sep 22, 2017 I had a look and there are camera options. -2k -press -action 1,2 -nosebleed -skybox -side -drive -wire -high -iso -broadcast stadium etc.. and adjustments zoom, angle, auto-flip I will give a quick impression of MFI controls compared to 2K17 if there are any changes (can't now cause I'm supposed to be working instead of playing games) adamlax Well-Known Member Sep 1, 2013 140 0 16 Male #20 adamlax, Sep 22, 2017 They have both FIFA and madden for mobile but they are free to play models. They are both popular(especially madden mobile) and make boat loads of money that far exceed what NBA 2k make through their paid game. The free to play team building model is a much more successful type of game on mobile so EA has no reason to take time and money making a paid game that won't make as much money as their free to play ones. I too would love to see a full paid version of those games but it just most likely won't happen. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
