From the little I've played with an epic Stockton and a Legend Iverson I really don't want to see what happens when I find a Legend Steph card.
The 3-pt cheese is real. Only saving grace is that it doesn't fill the ability meter as fast as dunks and that you don't get a timing gauge (although that also means that you miss a ton of easy bunnies)

The only issue I have with the switch version is the load times
Do the challenges in tournament mode do anything special?
e: i also do not understand the timing on the alley oop

When is it on the switch eshop?
It's there now. At least it is in the UK.
Downloaded earlier today in Europe.

Are there camera view options to make it like the 2k camera view in NBA 2K?

Okay that's good enough for me. When do they add the online MP for the switch version? And can you play with/ against friends online?
Why does Ian Eagle look like someone's Mii version of Iwata?
They got the God Among Men. Good on them.
2 hours and 20 minutes from now.

Damn, I really wanted the Switch version but I don't really see the point of picking up a portable version when it's looking so gimped. There's no good reason for a game like this to be running at sub native resolutions on a 720p screen.

I guess thats why the demo is only on PS4...

Online in a few days I read.
Is it up on the EU store yet? I don't think i'll buy it but i'd like to at least try it.

If your hesitation is based on graphics commentary, let's not forget that Snake Pass was also "downgraded" on the Switch, even more-so in portable mode, and that still looked and played fantastic. Sumo patched it later and enabled a bunch of the lighting/shadowing that was not present at launch. I know this is Saber's title, but I'd suspect there's a good chance a lot of UE4-using Switch devs are sharing best practices and notes with each other.
The lack of online on day one is disappointing, but I'm getting it mostly for local play with friends. It'll be a nice compliment to Mario Kart and Puyo Puyo Tetris for local MP fun.

Of course PS Store is behind on this release.

This is so damn annoying. I really don't care care for that sub native resolution. Becoming too much of a trend tbh. Passing on this one sadly.
Thats solid considering its gonna be updated with a lot of new features in the future, hurry up eshop I need to download it while i'm at work so I can play on break.

I don't know if two games make a trend. What would you prefer though? Native resolution and frame drops? Native resolution and 30fps?

I can save time and just say that don't care for and won't buy sub-native res games on switch (well ones consistently at 540p). I personally don't like the fuzziness. It's certainly my right and I'm not calling anyone lazy or insulting the devs, so don't start por favor. There's no debate here. If others don't mind, then awesome.

I hope I can unlock Kawhi and Steph today after work. Should have bought my switch with me today.

umm..lost my first match 06:18, lol.
Local MP is going to be amazing. Definitely a fun little game.
edit: No idea how the timing works tbh. Next match 09: 21

I'm confused with all the conflicting details. Does it have local multiplayer?
3 counting Bomberman post patch. And neither of the things you mention should be an option. Devs need to make their games native res undocked, a screen that small with a blurry image isn't pleasant at all.

This game is extremely frustrating,. The CPU is scoring left and right (over 20 points after a minute) and I'm not. It explains pretty much nothing except the normal control scheme.
Sometimes you have no idea what's happening.
Easy to pick up? Yeah sure, lol.

...I was just asking a question. No 'debate'.
I'm thinking that they couldn't do that, thus the compromise. Bomberman is the perfect example of this. They significantly bumped up the framerate, and cuts had to be made.

It's anything but easy to pick up. Needs a tutorial pretty bad.

I'm not a dev so I could be completely wrong here...but I feel like this game should be possible at native res and 60 fps. Obviously with lower/missing effects and all that. But when something like Mario Kart 8D looks and runs how it does, it's just not a good look.
Don't blame the devs if the hardware doesn't allow it to happen easily. Hopefully they work on the post launch and it gets to 720p60 in docked mode.
Nintendo know this thing inside out, Saber don't, this was probably a rushed release from them and this is the best they could do with time. As said, hopefully it gets a post launch patch to 720p.
If they delayed the launch to get it to what you want, then there's the potential for a lot of lost sales and the extra time and money spent wouldn't be worth it. On the otherwise, negative reception at launch due to poor technical performance could also have the same effect :/

I totally understand but you shouldn't really compare a game internally developed by those with the most knowledge of the hardware, to a multiplatform version of a game by an indie dev. I have to assume that even with the missing effects (depth of field, improper shadows, etc.) the game still wasn't stable enough to run at 60fps undocked. I could, of course, be totally off base.

It's up on the NA eShop. Downloading it now.
An hour early! Thanks.
These should have been standards set by Nintendo from the beginning. Seems like UE4 is not making it easy for these games to run at good performance @720p.
You can't blame a dev when even Nintendo is releasing games with sub native resolutions...

No problem, I was happy to address it. I wanted to prevent the thread from veering off onto that topic, but it looks like it's going there anyhow lol.
What Nintendo game runs sub native undocked?

Looks fine to me, just took this shot at the start of a game:
Yikes. That looks about as blurry as Snake Pass did in portable mode. =|
