Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

Bring back a flow to 2k basketball. Over the years, I feel as if the game lost its flow, it doesn't flow like real basketball. We want that realness that made us fans of the game. A major thing that was lost in this series is "control" and "pace". There's too many driven out animations that lead to turnovers. Why when there's a player underneath the basket I pass to, unnecessarily, backs up to catch the pass? It's unrealistic and uncommon instances that happen in this game that makes absolutely no sense. JR Smith himself tweeted asking why players drop the ball so often? These are professionals of the NBA who pride themselves to play their best and minimalizing mistakes. Spacing is also must, either make smaller players or a bigger court. Give us back what we loved about the series.

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

Playing on SStar, I'am playing with the shotfeedback to see what's going on and I notice the game register some shots as heavily contested that appears wide open. And it's not just once or twice, it happens a lot.

Either the shotfeedback isn't working properly or there is an issue with what the game consider open or contested. I turned on the feedback because I was wondering why I was missing so many shots that appeared open.

Here's one for exemple:



This is registered as heavily contested.

Anyone else noticed that ? I'am not a slider guy but maybe that can be improved in the settings ?

There's like a defensive force field around defenders, and the slightest-to-none contact can lead to a miss. Poorly and lazily handled by the devs. 2k can't keep masking art changes with a poorly made system, it won't work and it's been heavily noticed now. Time for a new blueprint.

I would hope it catches someone's attention to fix this and even after the updates they implement, a new problem occurs. It feels like a lose-lose situation. I remember when you could play defense. Now if a player does the step back animation it's over. If a player goes behind the back it's over. The clumsiness in big men on here is ridiculous. Why did I grind for glue hands for if I can't catch the ball now that we're gold, silver, or bronze?

Love seeing things like this. CPU Eric Gordon's ability to manipulate the screen here is under appreciated stuff...

Completely faked me out.

Playing on HOF with adjusted sliders to make the cpu better, I'm having a blast with this game. I've been playing GSW vs Cavs and having issues beating them and stopping Lebron lol

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

Great game...I don't play too much so I'm not super pickly. Plus I'm mainly an offline "Play Now" or custom tournament player. Don't do the My Team/My Player stuff so VC doesn't impact me.

My only complaint is the fast breaks...very rare to enjoy a real 2-on-1 or 3-on-2 with the CPU AI defensive "catch up" logic.

There's so much to take in just in this one video.. Blue hair having to face guard his man at the damn coach's box because of ignorant over powered badges with the danger to green light a three from almost half court..

The game looks so bad in the league, most of the comments on FB are negative when the clips get posted.


Guys standing at the *** **** hash marks is apart of offense, that's 28 feet away from the hoop lmao

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

This is super late but I hardly played my Switch copy of 2K.

The off season, notably the free agent period, is very well done.

It's the closest to real life that I've seen. Players asking for Max money, signing large deals, managing the cap, almost all of it is in there.

Very impressed. Going to keep playing it as my basketball franchise sim.

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

Players have 0 awareness of surroundings or clock.

Too many times they will do long/lazy animations with 2 seconds on the clock or shot clock, they will spin in a post spin, pause, and sprint out of bounds.

No animation should trigger unless I triggered it.

In COD when you let go of the stick will you run 2 steps and crouch behind cover? In fifa when you let go of the stick will they do a step over and a fake pass?
No

So why is it in this game they do multiple non-momentum based, unasked for animations when you stop moving the stick?

The game looks smooth when you don't play it because its a bunch of long animations/ 2 man canned animations triggering.

Its not my controller, its not my anything the game just simply is based off triggering animations.

In a myleague with 90+ overall rated players but because their animations are garbage they are useless. A created shareef oneal off my bench is the star at 82 ovr because he triggers great animations.
