Yeah not altogether dead for me either I'll try to keep going.  Sat bottom of the league after. 7 or so games. I think part of problem is the practice is harder and I can't be bothered as much with it, always try to get a couple stars but cba doing all 3 available practice games.  I should try buy a new player to help out but prices probably too high for them to be gd enough to improve my team.  Maybe I should just keep upgrading players. 

Games have been tough tho said it before but you really have to take your chances and often they are bloody hard 25 yard efforts thru a heap of bodies, I say hard but I mean nigh on impossible

getting ever closer to being dead tho, last game a perfect example.  I scored with all 2 of my chances.   Only thing was my opponent,  Pamplona, scored 5 out of the 5 they got.   This is a common theme, the opponents seem to score with every chance.

Going into that game my team had 7 spirit to my opponents 4, and not to mention i was the home team.   There is nothing you can do in those circumstances.  I dont mind adversity but like i said in my previous post, thats just mission impossible.

Yeah - do understand. Last game - very similar situation (at home, superior spirit) and was 0-3 down before HT - same scenario of all 3 of their attempts going in. Managed to score 3 in the 2nd half myself but his 4th killed it off.

Onto the general theme of addictiveness of games. Wife mentioned to me that the creator of Candy Crush went to a psychologist with the specific intention of understanding addictive tendencies. I've never played it so have no clue what the game is about. So, I cannot comment on how good the app is, but they've certainly built their app well enough given their success.

In comparison to this one, they've obviously gone for the need for IAP way too early. That first season they made it impossible not to get promoted, but then dump you into a black hole to purchase your way out of. We are simply not addicted to the game at this stage, to remotely justify those purchases.

When I got my first iPhone 4-5 years ago I remember playing one of the poker games. At one stage I was possibly 3rd/4th of the world leaderboard ... simple addiction got me there. Maybe spent $1/2 every 3rd/4th day for maybe a month before I had sufficient 'capital' to sustain me and climb the ranking. It was crazy how cool the game was & the success in there just drove the justification of spending real money.

Obviously I've learnt since then :D. These guys have missed that boat in terms of EVER spending $1 on them given how they've programmed the game.

yeah i agree Kiwi, and i sit here now very glad that i hadnt given into the temptation of buying 150 or 500 gold bars, because Id have felt like a bit of a mug now for lining the developers pocket, and i dont get the impression that having spent that money, would hugely change the predicament that my team finds itself in now.

Glad I waited on both of you to confirm the reviews before I jumped in

I suspected that this might be the case though as I am old school when it comes to games I don't mind putting in the hard work to get the rewards above paying to get them but you shouldn't have to pay

Maybe the game shouldn't be a free one?

I think we all are in here (old school) but id like to think that even younger generation (not nec. kids) would feel the same in this scenario.

It did open my eyes to playing games on the phone.  I had wrote them off before as not being in depth enough to grab my attention but this has shown me that they can actually be.   However if it seems like the sole purpose of the game is to get my hard earned money off me they can just forget it.

Played a few online games of NBA 2k14 on the Blacktop last night - it's called the park for you next gen types

Lost all 6 but my teammates (random players) all sucked - trying to score from silly distances, my scoring percentage was nearly 75% from all attempted baskets but my teammates were poor

the blacktop?? confused lol, ive not tried the park at all.

just been playing my career, and its good but i have 2 qualms with it.  first one is that the games take bloomin forever to play.   2nd one is that despite having played it for what seems like ages, apparently i still have 28 games of the season to go, thats ridiculous!!! especially given how long the games take, god knows when ill actually finish my season.

Yeah apparently park ball is traditionally played on black asphalt hence the blacktop as opposed to the pristine wooded gym floor

Got my first couple of wins on the blacktop tonight, it's quite like playing a drop in game of pro clubs with a much bigger emphasis on teammates skill & mentality

3v3 is basically a case of your screw'd if you get the selfish brat who wants to score 3pt baskets all the time

I'll give it a try at some point and see how it is.   Can definitely see how some ball greedy tw@t would spoil it.  Do you play with your own pro then?  I gave up on being a 3 pt specialist a long time ago.  As i opted to be a center and a big guy, my player is built for low post offence (i think thats correct term) and rebounds etc.   Missed several 3 points in the early stages of my career so just stopped trying for them and spending points on those skills, I specialise in the easy baskets :)

Yeah own Pro, I think it's actually easier to score than career as everyone seems to suck at defending online  :D

However occasional you come up against a superstar & I must admit it's pretty cool to see a great player first hand

Holy cr@p, didnt realise Titanfall was out on 14 March, was thinking new releases were ages away, not sure what made me think that but i did.   Thief is out on 28 Feb as well, is that meant to be any good, or should i say does it look good?

Played Resogun today, which is a free game that comes with the PS+ subscription and it's so fun and addictive  :D Some game play from it;


Jaja WAS the silver Ibra. :(
