NBA 2K18 Offensive Tendencies, AI Execution & Motion Blog From Da_Czar

Re: NBA 2K18 Offensive Tendencies, AI Execution & Motion Blog From Da_Czar

One thing that I wanted to include in the blog but it just slipped my mind was another new tendency called play-discipline.

Depending on the tempo setting each AI team has a time range where they stop just moving the ball and the begin to look for a shot. A player with a low play discipline tendency will disregard the coaches tempo desires and look to score when they have the ball.

Neat little addition that I think we can expand upon in the future.

I'm thinking......JR Smith..... Haha.....

This is amazing.

Everything is amazing.

Now of course, after having it for 3 months, people may start pointing out things (hopefully constructively). Things I am sure big Czar is already aware of and has on his list (remember - 1 year dev cycle).

But this 1 fact remains.

2K18 will offer a gameplay experience that is 100% ahead of anything we have ever played - in terms of AI ability (based on what we know).

I won't ask any questions. I will read this entire thread (Qs and As) and I am sure I will be satisfied.

You said in another thread "high risk, low reward". But I can safely speak for everyone here when I say we 100% appreciate the risk taken to try and enhance our playing experience. 200% even.

Thank you Czar, OG and the guys in the background who grind.

Yo, Da_Czar  I know you're busy and mad respect to you for takin the time to address a few concerns. If you don't mind I'd like for you to address mine about the foul problem that has plagued the game.  I've actually talked about it some time ago with last 2 versions of the game and on your YT before you were with 2k. I'd argue its one of the biggest problems plauging the game besides the overall catchup mechanic,,pardon my typos folks, im a little under the beverage tonight.

HERE'S  WHAT I SAID      While everyone throws a party as usual for all the hoopla,,nobody and i mean nobody ever talks about the BIG PROBLEM...FOULS..All this stuff
sounds good, but  what happens when the game starts,,,you will have
Deandre jordan body slamming jordan clarkson who for some reason gets
into the lane and attempts a hook shot...WHY,,every game mode, the same
freaking game breaking problem happens year after year with not even a
glimpse of discussion about it.  It's the insane and unrealistic amount
of paint fouls by players who should just be playing D.  And the foul is
committed by our A.I. or if you are playing h2h and you are winning,
your team will just foul for non good reason other than the game to be
kept close, and its utter nonsense.

Dang it, I so, so want to pre-order now, but Amazon STILL doesn't have physical copies listed--just digital codes!

My connection's so slow, it'll take 48 hours to download a game of this size!

Get those physical copies listed already!

Big Czar in the house! What's good, fam?

Awesome insight, as always. Flow Tech sounds and looks like a great addition.

Keep up the great work and tell Big Momma I appreciate the RT, haha.

I aint gonna lie, prior to these last 2 blogs coming out, I wasn't going to preorder 2K this year. Was even on the fence for waiting awhile before getting it after being burnt last year by them.

These last 2 blogs have changed that after they addressed most of my concerns. Just need to get that Presentation/Audio Blog to find out if the Crowd Noise and chants(more specifically the timing)has been corrected. They fix that and I'll be in heaven with this game.

Lets not double post questions.

If Czar is able to get to them, he'll get to them.

Czar,

Good looking out fam for showing the Sixers some love in these AI improvement videos. Imagine playing the Warriors with the Flow Tech and Steph is doing all of this man! It seems like this is possible

Yep..... excellent point. I am sooooOOooOoo not playing the Warriors in 2K18.

Ever.

But seriously, I will try one day. Shrink the lineup a little with stretch 4, switch everything (on and off ball) and HOPE TO GOD for the best haha.

Awesome stuff Czar, the fastbreak logic and the Reddick breakdown was on point!


I know you said classic teams won't have flow tech, however, if i pick the 02 Nets and use with them a current team playbook in MyLeague or something, will the Flow Tech then be applied to them?

Do we want a realistic game or not ? loool
So Warriors are almost impossible to guard

Still confident that user talent can overcome this online

But daammn on Mygm I can imagine the grind to beat this Warrior team, and I like that

Lets just hope that simulator will not put us again with a Warriors team eliminated by the Nuggets in the first round

That's what I said earlier.

Man after looking through what these guys do, you have no idea.

My head was swimming and I just had to stop. I know their opponents have nightmares trying to stop these guys.

Watch the Lakers run some of the same sets very ineffectively, but the Warriors have their style on lockdown.... You can't even be sure what they'll do because they cross your vision up and before you know it boom.
