That's almost as bad for me as the ability of those playing. I don't know how y'all play on broadcast.

You get used to it - possibly because I grew up playing on it.

Plus IMO it just looks 1000 times better (like a real TV broadcast) - which adds to my enjoyment.

When watching someone else play, I lose care factor for the practicality of 2K cam (as it is all about me in this instance hahaha ).

Re: NBA 2K18 Gameplay Video (Outconsumer)

certain graphical things look better, but it doesn't seem so different. They are still throwing those wrist flick laser passes, and animations on catch and shoot go way too fast, as well as burst speed seems way too fast. Of course, I'm the only one who is bothered by that stuff. It really looks unrealistic now after not having played 2k for some months, after watching the NBA Finals and all without the taint of video games.

IT'S TOO FAST LADS.

Giannis still looks like he has a high school body.

That finger roll layup animation keeps coming up. Seems like it's the "go-to" one this year, so most standard layups will end up being that one.

Idk is anyone caught it, but one of OKC's alternate jerseys was revealed in the video as well.

Holy cow. If I ever get into MyTeam, I'm grabbing Giannis. My dude was flying up and down the court, lol. The game definitely looks a lot more free flowing, which is a good thing.

Haha to each his own and I get the appeal. My depth perception would be so off.

Noticed the Warriors Roster had mostly generic players on it.

Looks like no Azubuike, Biedrins, Pietrus, Harrington, Powell, or any other lower bench players.... No Turkoglu, Cleaves, Price or Funderburke for the Kings either

Timeout Menu



Looks similar to last year but it looks like they scrapped the right stick navigation.

I don't think I've seen one pick and roll in all of these videos..

@ 3:00

That forced strip animation was terrible. Took charge against LeBron and the game had me do this and strip him and get a foul called against me.

Two concerns:
(1) Easy interior scoring, defensive awareness
(2) Player morphing

Note: The reason why I'm looking at the defense so closely this year is because NBA2k17 was the easiest to score on HOF and I've never really ever played on HOF legitimately in the past. I have always stuck with veteran and allstar.

Please keep the following in mind: I did run a test on rookie vs hall of fame isolation on 2k14 and the defensive positioning and coverage still recognized the need to clamp the paint when the driver got into the paint for both difficulty levels.

Defensive awareness (my main concern)

First play of the video. I know sometimes you do want to stay home with your assignments but in a situation where a player has a direct line to the basket, is the following proper defense? Was that play suppose to replicate those open lanes (i.e. JR Smith running away from the paint) for Kevin Durant dunking in the finals?

Another scenario where I am trying very hard to try to see where this "awareness" is that they've mentioned.

2k18 Giannis driving the paint without resistance. People are going to say it's most likely on rookie, but hypothetically, should that really happen on rookie. Wouldn't it be more worked to dumb down the cpu ai rather than just make the shot success higher while the paint is still clamped.

Player Morph (less concerning to me)

Personally I'm never the one to really get amp about player body parts morphing through other players, and I still don't if it doesn't really affect the outcome. Is it just me or am I seeing a lot more morphing this year without even having to go into replay mode.

Two things with the following gif. Don't really like how they all have their heads down while driving the paint. Not even looking at where they're going. Second this is the morph.
