Now that I've played this game for over 1,000 hours, i think It's finally time to write a review.

This game is insanely hard to pick up. It takes at least a week to get confortable airialing, another month for dribbling, passing takes hundreds, if not thousands of hours and air dribbling is still hard for me after 1,000 hours. Despite this steep learning curve, there is a qualittive aspect to getting better which is unlike any other game. You know when you have gotten better because you are able to do things you have never been able to do before.

This is also the perfect game to play with friends. Out of the ~1,000 hours Ive played, at least 800 have been in a discord call. This game is tons of fun when in a call and the added challenge of trying to communicate is just abnother skill to master.

Are there things to improve, yes. Solo standard is a mess, so game modes are pointless and some items are unobtainable without spending money. For aestetic items this would be completely fine, but some cars can only be obtained thorugh cases, which seems a bit unfair. of course you can profit from trading and afford almost anything, but that takes time that some players just dont have.

Other than that, this game IS my favorite game of all time, and it will take a lot for me to change my mind.

P.S. EA should learn from Psyonix how to run a company
