Out of interest, what is your latest characters position and playstyle (athletic, shooting, etc.)?

SG, athletic. Layups and mid range shots mostly. Don't mind being PG sometimes. I like defense but I can't figure out if I use square or right analog stick to intercept passes. I'm still with my first team Oklahoma thunders.

Edit: servers are offline for me. might just do mycareer offline. don't play online much anyway.

CAREFUL MAN!!! If you play one game offline, VC won't work any more, even if you play your next game signed in. Happened me before. If you thought getting VC was hard, SP (offline equivalent) is much harder as you don't get much at all.

I haven't yet. Thought I'd give it a day. Right now I can't even get in the game. Its stuck retrieving my files from online servers.

Ah thats crap, I hate when online servers affect offline gaming. I think a patch was released that now shows a big warning screen that you will lose VC if you try to play offline, no warning when I did it.

Zero-Cool · 07-08-2013 12:15AM

Well my 1st game of BF 3 was interesting. It's a new low when a squad of 12 year olds complain about you. In their defense, I did spawn in a jet by accident and heard one of them say 'aaawwww he's a level 0, what's he doing flying a jet'. I said I'd show him...I didn't. The controls weren't inverted so me pulling down just led me to drive straight into a barrier and explode before leaving the runway. I threw a grenade instead of a medkit and basically got butchered the whole game - 1 kill, 16 deaths.....damn.

Just be a team player as much as you can, go for points in the paint don't mind shooting 3's and stuff . Add me for games , sick of CPU at this stage :P

Yupp team player. Be good to teammates in press conference and get your chemistry rating up high. They will involve you more and make baskets easier when you pass it to them. When I quit my last career, I had been an ass in conferences as I wanted to be traded. My chemistry went from 60% down to 33% and it was NOT fun playing any game. But actually from what you said, I'm gonna give it another go, make a new player and start again....after some Battlefield 3 anyway.

I saw a vid that if you play blacktop (from the main menu) 1 on 1 game and pick a 3pt specialist, then just keep shooting 3's and you could win a game in about 2 minutes and get 150 VC. A guy online did this for an hour and got 20,000 VC and got class stats before his first NBA game. Not sure if they patched this but I might try it before I go back.

I used to play battlefield all the time and I still couldn't fly the things. any time I thought I was getting used to it i was leaving the battle area and got the 10 second warning.

find an empty server. Operation firestorm is good. Practice with jets and helicopters there. You wont get experience but atleast learn a bit.

brianregan09 · 07-08-2013 06:56PM

What do you all make of Need for speed online finding it great fun so far, the way everything is a race even just gettng the next race makes it really fun

Captain Chaos · 07-08-2013 07:51PM

Having to come up with a new username that wasn't taken for EA's origin service just to play the single player made me uninstall the game then and there. No time for that shyte.

Soby · 07-08-2013 08:34PM

Add us there for games , got a good few of us that do battlefield as well most nights

Can you do that on the PS3? I haven't played in a while, but I tried that and the game doesn't start (you can't even move) until there's a minimum amount of players.

Nah should be able to move just your score doesn't count

Uncharted 3 single player is a right pain to download >.<

You bast*rd, are you replacing me?

I'll be back when I get a tv! :P

KeithM89 · 07-08-2013 09:50PM

NFS is great fun, looks amazing and the city is well designed. One thing i hate is that you have to buy some areas like the airport.

ShaneU · 08-08-2013 02:19AM

Giving up on nba 2k13, what's the point in having a button that reaches for the ball if it's a foul every time? Playing on rookie and the AI is still decimating me, I even did the ridiculously long tutorial.

Gave up on it too.. looks like a great game but I don't know the rules and basics of the game game.. its a pity fifa's my player career is not done as well as this,,

Josey Wales · 08-08-2013 09:10AM

I was very surprised at LEGO LotR on Vita. It gets by mostly on its charm and it is nice and short. I actually got the Platinum trophy for it which is very unusual for me.

DeSelby83 · 08-08-2013 09:19AM

Personally I didn't really enjoy Lego lotr at all so left it and started unit 13. Enjoying that much more than I thought

Klair88 · 08-08-2013 09:21AM

Yeah i am really loving this months plus! I already Platinumed Lego LOTR. I'm going for the Plat on NFS:MW now! If anyone wants to play Multiplayer just add me!

Zero-Cool · 08-08-2013 09:22AM

Yeah Fifa could learn a few things from the NBA 2K career mode. That steal button is a no go alright. Had a game of 3 vs 3 blacktop (street ball) with Jaxdasher last night. Was a good laugh but the server crashed when there was 1 point left, no VC for us. Sorry Jax, had to head after that one.

There is a tutorial for it lads , don't give up on it , it's about timing you can't just grab the ball, kinda need to hit it when the balls not in his hand during the bounce.

I want a rematch! I had the ball damnit. Good dribble skills. I usually just hit it and hope for the best.
