Hey everyone today i wanna talk to you about NBA the run but first a huge shout out to the devs over at play by play studios for sending me a key its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in
Nba the run the game dubbed the spiritual successor to the NBA street series as someone who grew up with the street series games from NBA to nfl to fifa those were some of the best sports games growing up I wasnt huge into the madden games or any of the official titles the street series were the best from trick plays to being on fire mode so when NBA the run landed on my radar with that title I knew i had to check it out for myself.
Now the game is strictly online only its available on PS5, Xbox and Steam for pc, now the game is online only no single player mode no story nothing to give you a bit of relaxation when you dont wanna play against other players thats a let down as back then those games were just single player and couch versus.
The game thankfully doesn’t have a cash op store where real money is used everything in the game so far is earned by grinding out levels and in game currency which is a huge win cause this game could easily fall pray to real money schemes and I dont wanna see that happen I would be fine with paid dlc like legendary NBA players but thats my 2 cents.
Now the game is fun even being online only but sadly your gonna have the issue that comes along with every sports game where team work is required you will have people that dont pass and will keep the ball until they score or lose it and trust me ive had my fair share of players like this but ive also come across some great team mates as well.
The game is crossplay so console and pc players can play together but in my whole time playing I didnt see any Xbox players idk if its a glitch or Xbox doesn’t wanna play with the rest of us but yeah I didnt see any Xbox players.
The only other big issue I have with the game is stamina drains very fast and recovers slow but maybe thats just a skill issue on my part need more play time to judge lol.
The game has a great line up of players currently in the NBA as well as some characters that I dont know where there from but I am hoping to see an expansion of the roster the courts all look amazing having some iconic locations from new york to L.A and even some world wide spots I hope to see more new locations added down the road.
I played on the PS5 and I didnt have any issues the game ran great felt great on controller and is easy to learn but hard to master I cant wait to see what the devs have instore for future updates thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
