how long did it take everyone to download? I've had it on for about an hour and I'm on 9%...

It's more difficult than the other one imo

It's more difficult unless you're using Ray Allen's shot. That thing is money!

Loving this game so far. I'm considering canceling all my plans this weekend just to play it.

Three games in (Superstar diff) and CPU 3P% is off the chart. Hoping it's not an issue but I'm getting lit up by guys like Lavine, Solomon Hill and Roberson.

No idea where to ask this but when is the Celtics cover hitting shelves? If it's in a week or so I may pull the trigger tonight then trade in cavs version for 35 towards Celtics version.

Definition of a first world problem here.

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

Played 2 games and they were completely different in a good way.

Played the rockets in Houston with okc and they shot me out the gym.

They swung the ball around the court and everyone were knocking them down from deep.

Even CP3 threw up some lobs to Capela.

Defensively, they knew the Thunder can't shoot and made it miserable by packing the paint.

2nd game I used the knicks against the heat and I was able to win that game. Melo and Porzingas dominated using the pinch post and low post and when the defense shifted towards them, Hardaway Jr. and Lee were able to hit some 3s.

I played both of those games on Hall of Fame and I was impressed with the overall flow of the game. However, it's really a battle to knock down free throws and the meter doesn't really help that much in that case.

Another note, Stars really play like stars. They get buckets. But it doesn't feel like it's a spam. But you're really going to wanna play through your star players in tough spots.

Thunder can't shoot? Westbrook and George are scoring machines.. Then take the scoring ability of kanter.. And the toughness of Steven Adams.

Maybe I read it wrong, but the starting 5 have a great scoring balance.. The bench a different story.

Truly didn't know.. Thunder were a team that couldn't score. 🤔 OkC was 10th in action last year.. Without Paul George.

They are not a great 3pt shooting team which is what I believe alias is getting at nutty..

lol at Old Schoolers

I too, am looking for a sim ball experience. This game so far? Is exactly what I've been looking for.

Different folks I guess.

Exactly why it is important to be specific and give details with our impressions, whether positive or negative. Not calling anyone out here just a recommendation for those posting impressions.

You and Tomba are examples of two people looking for a sim experience but coming away with two different opinions. It's good to detail what we find sim or non-sim about the experience, what settings you are playing on, and even what modes you are playing. Different difficulties and play settings can yield different results. Offline vs online could be very different in terms of playing sim.

I'm looking at this from a 2K Developer stand point. If they are looking at impressions to see what people like and dislike and what can be improved they need more details than simply "this game is great so realistic and sim" or "not a fan of this game, not very similar." The more specific we are the better the game should be post patches.

They still can't shoot. The rockets literally left Roberson wide open in the corner which is not even worth it.

Kanter got his buckets. But if you look at the starting five other than Westbrook and George no one really scares you. Plus when the rockets are raining 3s left and right it doesn't really matter. They don't have the fire power to keep up.

They sing the National Anthem before some of the games now.

Kyrie absolutely torched me. I was all in his grill and he kept making shot after shot. I think he finished 15/17 and 6/7 from 3.

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

I just lost as the Knicks 77-82 against the Pacers. Lowest scoring game I've ever played in 2k. Uggghhhh this is the game I've been waiting for since 2k11.

So far this is a 2k1, 2k3, 2k7, 2k11, 2k14(PC) jump in quality. This is a good platform to build on.

Bulls shooting 14/20 (70%) at half time. Ridiculous. The awful AI defensive rotations made most of these wide open but still.

Otherwise I'm enjoying this. Very fluid.

Great I only saw some of the past is why I asked..

He's 100000% billion right they're dead last.. In 3 pt percentage.. So ok apologize to the person whom I wrote that too, really thought you meant scoring.

What do you think thinner will shoot this year will addition of Paul George?
They were at 32% last year...

Kinds of weird you would think they would shoot less three's now that they have another pure scorer..
Can't wait for this season


Miss Isaah Thomas, loved watching him, but really believe Boston game am that away because it's a never the same type of guy injury.

Hope he comes back mis season stronger..🙏

I even heard at the beginning of the 4 quarter they play that magical theme.. Think it was used by NBC ... But I associate it with Jordan. Your know that theme it gives you goose bumps

Wasn't expecting it so was really cool to hear 👍
