NBA 2K18 Questions Thread: Hands-On Gameplay Aug 3rd

Re: NBA 2K18 Questions Thread: Hands-On Gameplay Aug 3rd

1. Is the Help defense and Switch defense from the AI fixed?

2. Are there still forced turnovers in the game? (Players 5 ft away from each other and when they pass it, the ball goes way over the head of the receiving player for no reason causing a turnover)

3. Are elite 3pt sharpshooters still going 2-20 in games where the User can't make a wide open three to save his life, but the CPU will sink contested 3's like they're nothing?

Has movement and footplanting improved for antoher level of realism?
Has the passing been reproduced and become a new experience now?
Has the shooting feel more natural, and do layups timing matter now for real?

Depends on what 2K and OS prefer. I'll be in touch.

It seems like most of my concerns have already been touched on... I guess I would add to check to see if clipping like players arms going through another players torso and such as been alleviated.

Also, when you speak to the devs ask them if they can do a video or write up explaining how all of the game play adjustments work. Please and thank you.

Dont forget to test shoot meter if is like 2k17 or 2k16/2k15/2k14.
Bruh, this shoot meter broke game for me. I play since PS2 but 2k17 they change drastically.

I would assume 2K will have an embargo on all gameplay feedback until they drop their official gameplay blog.

Thanks

The above quote is my thing about "predictable animations" and I wanted to further see if you could have the developers further elaborate on this or if you see any major difference when getting real time on the sticks.

My biggest concern is predictable animations, computer taking over your player or you wrestling with the computer moving your player.


(1) Predictable animations
I wanted to see if you could also either keep tab or just specifically ask one of the developers about "predictable animations." A good user can start seeing the same "play" animations play out. This is one reason why it's easy on HOF this year or just any other year, but this year specifically.

Jerry Rice was great because he was deceptive when running his routes. If he was running the curl route, a go route, or just any type of receiving route, the way he would run before he breaks off always, always looked the same. In other words, even though it may look the same, you really had no clue what Jerry Rice was going to do. But with 2k, you see the animation and you know pretty much what the CPU is going to do .... "predictable animations"


================================================== =
================================================== =
(2) Players out of position, or not recovering properly, computer taking control
See if the following has been address. This is one example of "losing control" of your players or "players out of position" or "player not recovering properly." Take notice of Thomas trying to recover and contest Steph Curry's corner three. Notice how CPU Thomas doesn't run towards user controlled Curry, instead Thomas runs "away" from the Curry initially towards the baseline/hoop, then secondly run towards Curry. If I had been playing with the celtics, and switched over to select Thomas, the computer would "move" me towards the baseline/hoop/rimfirst, then when I finally have complete control over Thomas, then I am able to run towards Curry. This is one of the big reason why sometimes you can't defend properly because your players/teammates seem to be programmed to run away from the ball handler. And in the gif above, even the CPU seems to be programmed to "run away from the ball handler/offensive player."



(3) Will the first defender back on defense always position himself under the basket?
Use the above Gif as a reference. Will the first defender back on defense always position himself in the paint like what Crowder does in the above gif. This allows open three point shots to be made too frequently.


================================================== ========
================================================== ========

(4) Will the CPU/teammate set screens at a specific spot OR will they actually set a screen on the player?
I personally don't follow Chris Smoove. Still don't really know "who" he is. But this is something Chris Smoove mentioned in one of his videos, and one thing he would like to see addressed for the longest, longest, longest time. Screens ... ask the developers or see if the CPU will actually try to screen the player OR is the CPU still setting a screen at a specific spot again. Notice how Thomas tries to screen Klay off. Thomas is setting a screen at a specific spot. Instead of recognizing where Klay maybe and screen Klay.


Use this gif as a reference for the above & below paragraph concerns



(5) Fighting for position in the post, both the offensive and defensive player.
Notice how green continues to deny the pass into the paint on one side. This is a "predictable animation." See/ask if this year, 2k finally addressed these "predictable animations" and if Green will be smart enough not to stay "locked" into simply denying the pass on one side, but actually jump back and forth and possibly deny the left, and right side of the pass. Just to mix things up and make the user actually "think." The only reason why Green stop denying the pass on the left is because I "icon selected" Green and repositioned him.

I think you're asking way too much. Just keep it short and simple.

I'm not sure but this guy here who's at the event said the badges are mostly the same, so it's a good chance there still in.
