NBA 2k18 - The Little Things Thread

Re: NBA 2k18 - The Little Things Thread

LeBron James is a killer like he is in real life, its crazy.

Up 5, he goes to the corner, shoots a three, looks at the crowd, hits his chest and points three fingers to them.

Next time down to tie it, he shoots the ball, turns to the crowd and wipes sweat in their direction. OT!

Wow.

Re: NBA 2k18 - The Little Things Thread

So does anybody notice the copy and paste job 2k did with some of the classic teams... look at the 11-12 Knicks... they just literally copied Amare Stoudamire from the classic Suns team... No goggles and he even has the number 32 and everything... ditto for Tyson Chandler... he just got copy and pasted from the current Suns team with the number 4 and everything... I went to check and see if they would dare copy and paste Lin from the current roster with the Samurai cut and oddly enough they put his original hair style from that season on his head... not to mention the copy and paste job they did with bald Kobe and a lot of other players... it's just baffling that they take the time out to change other players (braided Melo being one of them) and then they are egregiously sloppy and lazy with many others... it's like why make the effort if you're gonna half *** it... also the classic jerseys look awful on most teams... the colors are way off and too bright and they look like plastic unlike the nike jerseys... it's just weird to me

Hasn't happened for me ...do you have to be winning or losing?? Which quarter?

I don't recall the exact scenario but it was a close game in the 3rd I believe when I first noticed it. I was the home team (Spurs) playing against my cousin (Thunder). I was sitting close to the tv so that my controller could charge when I noticed the screen looking funny. I asked my cousin is it me or is the screen moving and said yes it does it everytime he gets the ball but it wasn't doing it the game before, which the score was not the close the entire game(Bos at Orl).

So maybe it has to be a close game between two top teams to trigger or something like that.

Re: NBA 2k18 - The Little Things Thread

I've been messing around in practice mode last night and had an incredible sequence. I blocked a Whiteside hook attempt attempt with LeBron (he jumped so damn high!), then hit LeBron in transition and dunked on Dion Waiters so hard that Waiters fell down. When LeBron landed, he stared at Waiters and started clapping at him as he backpedaled away from the scene of the crime. I don't remember ever seeing that before! It really is a small thing, but I replayed it over and over to make sure I hadn't made it up in my mind haha. I love that they added some extra sauce to player reactions this year. It really gives the games vs the CPU more intensity.

I also had Devin Booker light me up in a Play Now game and when he got hot and hit a 3, he did the hotline bling move as he went back up the court hahaha

Re: NBA 2k18 - The Little Things Thread

I was messing around in the MyLeague mode and apparently you can edit headbands in that mode... take them off and put them on and even edit how often they wear headbands (that feature is kinda underrated... it's kinda cool seeing certain players wear different accessories every now and then... keeps it kinda fresh)... there are plenty of little details that makes 2k so damn great... it only makes it more frustrating when they decide to get lazy in certain areas... hopefully MyLeague gets patched soon because from what I'm seeing it probably won't be worth it to start a myLeague/myGM file until they sore that mode up

I had that same thing happen to me... I was the Kings and the Suns were cold most of the game... then Devin Booker decides to go off for the rest of the game and shrink my 18 point lead down to a 2 point lead... didn't help the Eric Bledsoe was getting to the line at will (with some questionable fouls might I add)... I was still up 2 points with 10 seconds left and I was covering Booker to make sure he couldn't beat me... I set my strategy up to take him and Bledsoe out of the play and then of all the guys to hit the tying shot it was TJ Warren that sent the game to overtime... My team went cold in overtime and Bledsoe was still gashing my team and getting to the line and they ended up winning by 8... I thought I had the game and then Booker kinda killed me when I lost focus... if they fix myleague and sore up some other issues this game is gonna be fun all year long

I think it could be a matter of time being a finite resource.

When classics were close to being a No. 1 priority (2K11's Jordan Challenge and the lockout-bolstered Legends Mode in 2K12), there were between 20 and 30ish classic teams, with six to eight of those being 80's and 90's Bulls teams.

Now, there's over 60 classic teams, not including the 30 new All-Time teams. Even if classics were a number one priority again, I think the team would struggle to adequately perfect the task. Instead, it's kind of a double whammy - classics aren't as high on the priority list as 2K12 and there's three times more teams than their used to be. From what I can tell so far, it feels like 2K was making improvements and changes until they ran out of time. There's been a lot of positive changes (Jordan finally looks like Jordan, '89 Pistons jerseys fixed, Manu Ginobili was given hair on the first-day update). I just don't know if they could fit it all in.

I have had my shot back boarded a few times. Lonzo got me twice in one game. I don't remember seeing that in past 2ks

I believe it's more so a close game, it happened to me while I was playing as the Lakers vs the Sixers.

Re: NBA 2k18 - The Little Things Thread

Having Alonzo Mourning with the same exact look (which is terrible by the way) on the early 90s Hornets, 97 Heat and 06 Heat is just lazy. They manage to change the picture associated with him on each team in the roster screen but the same face and hair for all the teams. The picture for 06 Heat Mourning has him with the shaved head, but his actual cyberface is the young Zo. Would it really be that hard to at least just remove his hair? If they could add hair to Manu, they should at least be able to remove the early 90s flat top from Zo.

I'm sure there's many more like this, just noticed this one because the Heat are my favorite team. And I know it might not be a priority for them, but if they're going to have legend teams in, they might as well do them right, at least for the top players.

Not what this thread is for at all BTW.

Yeah you're right, I saw a couple others talking about legend teams and felt like it was a "little thing" but I've deleted it and posted it in the thread about legend teams

You can go straight from MyCareer to Play Now, by sitting on the couch by the tv and pressing x

Re: NBA 2k18 - The Little Things Thread

In MyLeague, commentators will still say a team nickname after relocation. Previously, when moving, for example, the Suns to Brooklyn, they would only refer to your team as Brooklyn, never as the Suns. Now, when you say move the 76ers to Nashville and call them the Nashville Suns, the commentators will call you Nashville and the Suns when appropriate. Makes a huge difference for me. Much more likely I'll play around with relocation now.
