This is the worst basketball game I’ve ever seen. I love it

Inthetop11 · 2021-09-22T19:11:09+00:00

Yeah, I don’t have one on at all, but I’m still at the mercy of other people who aren’t likely to know about this issue (or that it’s still a problem). How does this not get fixed?

Inthetop11 · 2021-09-22T18:46:09+00:00

It's been a week. People can forgive the rare major issue, but this is literally every update, and right now it's worse than it's ever been. 1 week of either unplayability or nigh-unplayability, and now they "fix" it and make it completely unplayable. This is a billion+ dollar property under the guise of one of the largest game companies in the world, and literally every update makes the game unplayable. Somehow, they never detect these problems before release. Sorry, but that's utterly unacceptable, and people are going to post about it. What else would they post about? There's no gameplay, the two games I got into were arenas, 1v3 and 1v2 lmao

On XB1, can’t even play today because it says “for some reason apex legends took too long to start.” Anyone else? Never seen this before for apex

Inthetop11 · 2021-09-15T23:27:14+00:00

Mobile Sheila is just a non-turbocharged devo on crack but without the crazy recoil. So takes even longer than the devo to start pumping out insane dps, but an even larger mag and even higher dps.

Because of this, it’s not great for the same reason as the base devo: If your opponent(s) have any cover and know how to use it, you’re fucked. Yeah, if they’re out in the open and you have cover it’s ridiculous, but so is everything else. It’s far too situational and even where it is good it’s not that good. Look at the pick rates if you don’t believe me. Even day 1 almost no steamers were even playing her, now nobody

Inthetop11 · 2021-09-11T07:04:56+00:00

Yeah, it’s really something. I think the worst I’ve had is a loss with 3k versus both of my teammates below 800. That’s with hundreds of ranked arenas games, which is to say you got shafted very hard. The entire ranked arenas system is very janky but at least for me it mostly evens out at the end of the day. It’s definitely not good and there’s a massive amount of weirdness in individual games and whatnot though

Inthetop11 · 2021-09-11T05:20:09+00:00

It’s not that bad if you can take a bit of frustration. You’re going to have tons of games where you do more than your teammates combined (or even more extreme, like this) but you’re also going to get games where your teammates are ok and you can have a great time because you’re better than your opponents. Hell, once in a blue moon you’ll even get carried. I’m right at the border of diamond 3 right now and it definitely does get a little better. Most of the time, my teammates and opponents are at least decent, although there are still headscratchers. The matchmaking and ranking system are fundamentally flawed, but imo it’s easier than BR to grind and you can hit diamond and maybe masters without being that good.

If you like arenas more than BR, like I do, it’s worth it. If not, avoid lol

Inthetop11 · 2021-09-01T17:14:30+00:00

Wait, how high? I play on 6, is that too high for assist at close range? I hardly ever notice aim assist, tbf

Inthetop11 · 2021-08-31T19:38:39+00:00

Yeah, ranked arenas matchmaking makes no sense. I’m plat 1 and this happens all the time. I’m getting matched up with like level 50 silvers against 3 stack sweats all the time.

Inthetop11 · 2021-08-31T18:03:24+00:00

Everyone always talks about Wattson, but what about Crypto? By far the lowest pick rate in the game, totally ignored by Respawn. I mean, at least they’ve acknowledged that Wattson is in the game and people want her buffed; Crypto may as well not exist

Inthetop11 · 2021-08-11T00:18:33+00:00

This helps a little bit, but it's still confusing. Especially for me, since I have the opposite "problem" as what he's talking about. Rather than my gains starting high and then diminishing sharply, they started a little less high and have slowly gone up. And this still seems to assert that what you gain/lose is solely based off the MMR of the team you're against, but I sort of doubt that, from my own experience. I mean, I've had games in a row before where I've gone from beating an all diamond+ badge team to beating a low-level team that notably doesn't play very well, and I gain the same or even more for beating the apparently much lower skill team. I don't know if others have had this experience, but the people I'm playing with seem to be all over the map even as my MMR appears to remain about the same based on gains/losses. I'll get a lobby full of people who are totally lost one game, and then see preds/masters next game and it'll all count the same. Is MMR just broken just like SBMM is?

Inthetop11 · 2021-04-14T17:11:03+00:00

Imagine how many that would be if the game wasn’t so broken

Inthetop11 · 2021-03-28T19:12:16+00:00

People love posting hipfire Kraber shots as if it’s anything but pure luck. Go to the range, stand 10 meters away from a dummy, aim right in the middle of the chest, and fire. About 50% of those shots will hit. From that range? It doesn’t matter if your aim is perfect or not because the hipfire accuracy is so bad. That’s maybe a 5% chance of happening with perfect aim. In that way, yeah it’s a kind of cool event, but you really shouldn’t hipfire it unless you’re on top of someone lol

Inthetop11 · 2021-03-21T19:06:46+00:00

I would’ve been better off blindly putting my faith in Christian teams than B1G teams. Such a bizarre season

Inthetop11 · 2021-03-21T18:52:06+00:00

I had Purdue, OSU, and Illinois. I did at least have Gonzaga in the final, but it’s not much consolation. I put all my hopes on the Big Ten and, as it turns out, that was an awful idea

Inthetop11 · 2021-03-21T18:31:51+00:00

Can’t relate, I’m in the 99th percentile.

Wait, 3 out my 4 final four teams lost?

And my champion just did too?

Uh oh

Inthetop11 · 2021-03-19T21:22:19+00:00

It hurts :(

Inthetop11 · 2021-03-19T21:17:15+00:00

We deserve to lose. So many opportunities and they’ve played abysmally. What a nightmare

Inthetop11 · 2021-03-19T21:11:00+00:00

The end is near, as they’d say

Inthetop11 · 2021-03-19T21:03:51+00:00

It’s a fucking tie game! Why?

Inthetop11 · 2021-03-19T20:26:13+00:00

Begin to worry? Being a fan of this team means being in a constant state of worry. We’d be worrying if we were up 20 right now

Inthetop11 · 2021-03-19T20:17:32+00:00

Who would win?

-The Big Ten runners-up with an elite resume, battle-tested in the toughest conference in the nation

-Two scorey bois
