Casey Powell Lacrosse 18

TL;DR: In short, as of release and the day after, this is an already decent game with explosive potential. Don't get it yet if you expect a perfect game with seamless fit and finish, though. (third edit addendum: Did Not Return, Practice Mode Added) Will most likely return this game, $50 for a buggy mess like this is just not worth it. if anything, look to buy it after a few months or so, after they steamroll the bugs out of it (they'll need a steamroller, cause there are a lot of them). Dodges only work half the time, body checks literally don't do anything, players lag through checks and other players, computer players can do things your players can't (like lay out the ball carrier, and stand within 5 yards of the ball carrier on a restart), there's no penalty clock anywhere on the screen, and, perhaps most frustratingly of all, there is no practice mode to get used to the wonky controls. it's game or nothing. (EDIT: it even says it has a practice mode in the game description on the store page, there literally IS NO PRACTICE MODE.) so if you want to spend $50 on a game that looks decent and you can run, pass, catch, and shoot and that's about it, then look no further. personally, i would only spend $50 on this game if it was perfect. as it stands, it seems like they built the came for console and yet again tried to satisfy PC players with another ♥♥♥♥♥♥ port. so like i said, if all that sounds good to you, then go ahead and knock yourself out; i'm most likely going to return it with the hope i'll have the money to buy it back later while riding on the even bigger hope that they will have fixed it up by then. SECOND EDIT: After thinking a lot about it last night, I decided I won't return it, and I'll explain why I came to this decision as well as why I'm leaving it as unrecommended (for now...). So after playing a couple more games and becoming more accustomed to how the AI operates and catching on to a couple of the nuances in the game (I figured out my dodges weren't working because you either can't dodge or dodge very slowly when your player's SPRINT stamina bar is empty), I realized that a lot of the bugs I mentioned are fairly minor, and shouldn't take much time to correct. Even alongside the frustration of my first few games, I was still getting excited and having a lot of fun when I managed to score - it's immensely satisfying, simply put. So in my revised opinion, the lack of a practice mode is the biggest flaw in the game. Once they put that in (hopefully they do), it will pretty much be the game they advertised, at which point I will ammend my recommendation. Until then, I'm leaving it as unrecommended because of the game-altering bugs still present, and, as stated, the lack of a practice mode. THIRD EDIT: practice mode update!! very excited to give this a try tomorrow, will likely spend at least a couple hours in it. Major issue down, now just bugs to go. i also aim to start cataloging the biggest ones so i can do my part and properly report them. Also, moved TL;DR to top. P.S. I wish there was a way i could neither recommend nor not recommend the game until the bugs are worked out, but I did say i would change it once the practice mode was added. hopefully the TL;DR will sufficiently convey my thoughts. P.P.S. Thanks HBK!

I pay 50 dollars for a game and then it keeps telling me I need to be online. Im all for DRM but if its gonna hurt legit customers then get rid of it. Cant even play......

While the game can be at sometimes buggy and the ai can have strange activites, its not bad, The game is the best your gonna get and I personally have enjoyed myself playing it. If you take the time to check out the features, the game isn't so bad. You can create custom teams, jerseys, and stadiums which are pretty enjoyable features. The tournament mode can also be really fun. The game can be frustrating and buggy at first, but if you just keep playing it you'll enjoy it more. Not too sure if its worth the price, but is the best lacrosse game on the market.

I like Lax I buy game I enjoy game I give good review

Purchased CP16, and it was great. Its just going to get better year after year. Great job Carlo! Cant wait for the Future of Casey Powell Lacrosse!

The game has bugs, lots of them. Other than that it's a good game and I enjoy it. There are two main problems with this game that I hope will be fixed. Number one, Goalies are terrible they barely stop shots and on most goal replays the ball goes through his stick. Number two, Everygame I have played online with my friend it disconects me. "You have been disconected by remote player". Me and my friend have played around twenty games online and it always happens around halftime. This makes multiplayer unenjoyable due to that you can never complete the match. I hope the devs fix these changes so the game can be more enjoyable. I would rate this game 7.9/10 at its currnet state. The game is great and I hope the devs keeping fixing and updating the game

great game! definitely recommend to anyone whether you know the sport of lacrosse or not id definietly give it a shot!!!

This game has so many bugs that should have been fixed before release. The frame drop is insane at some points. I have a 1050ti and can barely run this game at 60fps. Also I own a PS4 and because of that have a dualshock 4 controller. The buttons are opposite on the ps4 controller. Ex. X or A switches to O or B and square and triangle are flipped. I would have liked to see more MLL teams with the correct rosters and more College teams. For these reasons I would not recommend this game.

This game has a lot of bugs that need to be fixed. The game to me seems to have one heck of a learning curve which is not something most games have. It makes the game difficult but something I want to learn and get better at.

Love the game, requires a controler, must have at least a 1080ti
