Re: An Early Look at NBA 2K18 Gameplay Changes
I've yet to hear anyone address one elephant in the room that everyone tends to forget: (Controlled) Player logic on loose balls, and correct animation choice on jumping passing lanes.
Loose balls: I'm quite sure this one goes without saying, as we've all been frustrated at some point with our players running past loose balls, and/or loose balls almost always going back to the offense.
Passing lanes: Do players actually choose the correct animations when attempting to jump passing lanes, or are the animations still a random crapshoot? Like trying to catch it at your chest when the ball is flying over your head.Last edited by Caelumfang; 08-05-2017, 01:14 AM.Comment

Re: An Early Look at NBA 2K18 Gameplay Changes
Personally I think 2K17 gets undervalued, offline at least anyway. Online is another story...
I've seen too many mixed opinions on 18 so far. I'm excited, but skeptical right now.Student of the game. #Fundamentals

Is leg kick animation when shooting contested jumper still in the game?
What a terrible animation imo.Comment

Re: An Early Look at NBA 2K18 Gameplay Changes
....Has it finally happened? Has all the unbridled craziness and negativity from the last 2-3 years "Pre-game release Operation Sports" finally reached a mass so critical that it folded in on itself? Is this the "room full of typewriters" scenario where suddenly it's a flourish of philosophy and game analogy?
....probably not. But I'm getting more hype off the trickle of info. Mike makes me feel like I need some candles and a Brandy snifter to enjoy 2k18. I like that.Female Russell Westbrook.

Re: An Early Look at NBA 2K18 Gameplay Changes
It's great to read all this good stuff about the new game, but I won't get too excited until someone says that the big legacy issues of this franchise have been worked out... specially the "points in the paint" spam as the only way to be competitive online.
NBA2k won't be a true basketball simulation while lead passing to the paint for an easy score (just pressing X/Square) is the way to go instead of using advanced post moves with the right players.
Is the paint still a joke in 2k18? That's the question no one answered for me yet... :-(Ignorance is Bliss...Comment

Not to mention how crazy the community would be going right now knowing that they would have to spend another year with 2k17Comment

Re: An Early Look at NBA 2K18 Gameplay Changes
But this thing I really don't understand: some people complain about this being just a more polished version of 2K17, some people keep asking for a 2 year development cycle, and this 2 groups even overlap. But doesn't this game being "17.5" actually mean that this IS a 2 year development cycle? We got the new game last year, so many things changed from 16 and a lot went wrong, now they polish it and hopefully we get a good basketball game. Hell, 2K16 was a more polished version of 2K15 and it was a damn solid game.
I'm with you if you tell me you want to know exactly HOW it was polished before making a decision, but we're never gonna know at the beginning of august of any year.Comment

I'm on the fence about getting 2K18. Never gotten to august without preordering the next game.

By the stuff we know about the game so far, I'm on the edge about how I feel with it but I won't really know until I actually play it or see gameplayComment

Re: An Early Look at NBA 2K18 Gameplay Changes
Could've sworn that one of these reviewers got vids to show today. Oh well....
Tbh I don't think vids will help me preorder since I can't get a feel for it. I really really hate that forced backpeddle animation. 2k17 really drained me not to get hyped for this year lol
