As long as I can my friends online I am fine. I hope that doesn’t cost money. Lolsuicidaltaco wrote: ↑ <2/10 star user rating on Metacritic across the platforms for good reasons (excessive casino style microtransactions for one). Also worth noting it's currently free with Xbox Game Pass.
Hope you enjoy it and sorry if this bursts your bubble at all, just hoping to warn folks that might care about that stuff!
EDIT: Seems the microtransactions have been toned down in recent patches. May be worth looking into...

My biggest issue with the Switch version though, is the fact that you have to be online ALL THE TIME to play any part of the game - this means no taking it out anywhere with no Wifi AND if you put the Switch to sleep you will be sent back to the title screen when you resume. This is totally annoying and defeats the purpose of having it on the Switch.
Wow that’s disgusting. What a deal breaker! Thanks for sharing this key point. Not that I’ll be taking my Switch on any road trips anytime soon, but that hop back to the title screen would get frustrating fast.handsoap wrote: ↑ My biggest issue with the Switch version though, is the fact that you have to be online ALL THE TIME to play any part of the game - this means no taking it out anywhere with no Wifi AND if you put the Switch to sleep you will be sent back to the title screen when you resume.

So by online all the time, is that just for online mode(vs other players) or how about the regular mode(simulation)?handsoap wrote: ↑ Despite the bad reviews, this is still a solid basketball game and IMHO the story mode is not as cheesy as everyone says it is - it's about on par with the previous years' games.

You need to be online for both online play and single player modes. I never played the online modes, just the career and GM modes, and I needed to be online all the time; couldn't play Mycareer on the Go train.
