Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

^^^^^^^^

You absolutely are getting cheesed and your post shows that the same old crsp is happening.

But I did laugh when you said the jimmy butler clip was slightly annoying but you could deal with it ok, and then I opened the clip and it was called "get freaking real" [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

This game kind of sucks so far. Gameplay is improved, more fluid.
That's about the only improvement I've seen.
Mycareer has delivered another incredibly cheesy story of what they think 2k gamers want (hint: we don't)
I just spent 100k VC to upgrade my guy to a 73 overall. Wtf?
On top of that, you have to be certain levels to buy any gear, do any customization, etc. (I understand for exclusive stuff that could be applicable but why do I need to be a 75 to upgrade my mycourt?!)
The neighborhood isn't as cool as it seemed IMO
1500 for a haircut that I can't even view before purchasing? Seriously?
Everyone already knows about the CAP problems (we want the wwe creation suite)
I know this isn't a wish list thread, but why can't they add the ability to download specific CAP off the community creations
Myleague logic has not improved at all from what I see so far. It also is basically the same thing as last year, no new customization to courts or jerseys really, just feels the same with the G league added.
Even with the g league, half the players are like 50 overall so they average like 5 points as starters and that's unrealistic.
Blacktop is exactly the same.
That's all I've checked out for now, tbh.

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but still feel like it needs to be brought to light.

The clipping, when it's just a visual issue, can be looked past. However, when a guy does a spin move THROUGH your trap/double team, dribbling completely through your defenders chest, only to go on and hit a jumper to give the CPU team the lead... that's where I have an issue. I've seen this junk several times at integral parts of the game. People are going to say "It's a videogame, it's going to do videogame things." That's fine, but these things are only happening during the times where the CPU needs a bucket. That tells me that it's a coding thing, basket at any cost.

Call a foul on me, call a foul on them, just don't do what happened there. There's nothing more annoying than to have a good game going, for 3 or 3 1/2 quarters, to have the supercheese CPU come out in full force, basically ruining the last 40-45 minutes worth of game you've played.

Now, onto this:

https://twitter.com/WTF_OS/status/909057788764180486

This is the same crap as above, on a different level. When OG is talking about defenders making a difference, and intelligence etc making a difference, I was expecting this type of cheese to be gone. If you're locking up the CPU on defense, and they're determined to score, this bad boy rears his ugly head. All of the sudden, your teammate defenders will lose their train of thought, getting completely out of position, allowing an easy bucket. There's nothing you can do. I try to take control of the defense that's pushed out of position, and he does a little hitchy animation, still allowing the CPU to score.

More cheesy tactics:

https://twitter.com/WTF_OS/status/909079621706100736

I didn't get the first of the clip, but Taj was basically forced out of position, only to get caught up on his own teammate. I'm Wiggins, and see this, and start trying to get over to Draymond, but it will not even register that I'm furiously trying to cut off the pass. Instead, it makes me get caught on Draymond's back, and Taj allows the ball to tip his nose on the way through, lol.

This phenomenal defense by the computer is back as well:

https://youtu.be/fhx3Mkhb2Rs

Jimmy stutters long enough for JR to catch up from the free throw line and maul him to get the "steal". This one is whatever, it aggravates me, but I can handle it.

Defensive awareness by my teammates is awful.

https://youtu.be/mCtSm4Bz3CU

It's the same thing as it's been. Its like they aren't sure how to make the CPU challenging without forcing cheesy scripted moments.

I've got a ton of examples on the PS4 hard drive right now that I just want FIXED. I'm sure I'll get flamed by other saying to deal with it, but the game has SO many resources, a huge team, these things should not be happening.

And here's why it bothers me so much. The presentation, the graphics, the MyLeague setup, the menu's and options, the editing, even the commentary, is all phenomenal. I keep coming back to it, because it's endless options, it's a graphically gorgeous game. The options within every menu is outstanding. And at times, the gameplay can make you forget that you're playing a game.

I don't play any of the Neighborhood junk, or online, etc, so I can't even comment on those things. But as a single player, franchise guy, I'm pleading for 2k to tweak the CPU so it gives me a cheese free challenge, that doesn't use the cheesy tactics to either stop me, or smart enough to score on me without resorting to cheese.

I enjoy losing as long as I"m legit outplayed. If I sit down, and don't bring my A game, i wanted to lose. This stuff above though, is not great gameplay. It's cheesy AI. This is on Superstar (one of them may have been on all star) so the "ACE" should be in full effect, and not need to result to this junk. Watching the CPU adjust it's attack based on what I"m doing on defense is awesome, when it works, but if I continually cut it off, let me get the stop. Don't force the CPU to score through unnatural means. Have the CPU secede and hold that L.

Likewise, if I'm executing, and get the step on the guy, let me go into my animation. Don't force me to go into a stutter allowing the CPU to catch up and perform some cheesy "strip" animation.

Please 2k... the game could be great if you fix/remove these things. It's NOT needed.

I'm going to be looking for sliders, roster tweaks to see if this stuff can be eliminated (and to give the players a little more weight), and I truly hope that it can. I'd love to play this for multiple seasons. I'm engrossed in the game when it's playing well. Get rid of the stuff that infuriates me, there's truly no need for it.

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

I was hoping they did away with the 86 ball-control rating needed to unlock faster first step explosion. 85 ball-control? Nope can't explode like those 86ers.

Any make it progressively better for every single rating like with speed.

This is so similar to what I posted last year about 2K17 and it got ignored by most everyone. I don't get how people cannot see the fundamental problems with the game.

Excellent post. Should be it's own, front-page, pinned post. Excellent work.

His career high in a game was 7. But still, probably rare

I knew he was working on his outside shot but damn I didn't realize he started going to it that much. Probably because I don't pay attention to the Nets much, like most people. Even living in NJ I hardly waste my time paying attention to them so I didn't realize he was putting them up at such a higher clip. He went from averaging .2 attempts per game to 5.2 attempts per game so I take back what I was saying earlier.

I don't blame him. It's the new thing now. I'm not sure if he is consistent though. I'll have to check his game logs and maybe I'll watch him this,season

I enjoyed 17, but no, gameplay wise, 18 is improved quite a bit over 17. Again, 17 IMO was much better than some people act like, or for offline it was anyway, but 18 gameplay is much smoother IMO. AI is smarter whether is the CPU your playing or the AI players on your team our not contorlling. I have saw my help defender come over and block the shot without me having to take control real quickly, that happened in rare occassions last yr and before last yr, it basically never would happen. So the gamepla has progressed alot.

MyGM and MyLeague needs theire bugs fixed, disappointing to see the issues these 2 modes have on a yearly basis is ridiculous. But Gameplay is a think of beauty, right out of the box. Sliders to get more no steal turnovers could use some tweaks, and foul sliders need to be more impactful. These really are the only things that really need adjusted.

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

2K IF YOU TOUCH THIS GAME IM SUING YOU!!!!


This is the BEST 2k game ever made. This is coming from a old friend. I LOVE IT!!!!! Don't patch anything. Don't touch anything dealing with OFFLINE gameplay or experience. OMG the percentage is finally at 40%. The game scoring is finally Lower. The freethows are more often. IM SO HAPPY!!!!

And its a fu$%^kin shame that we get this game NOW in life. Why couldn't we get this back in 2001 when we had superstars.

I don't play online. I don't play my player. I could give a sh$%t about any other mode in the game.

This game is for NBA fans. The NBA teams and its players. All I play is play now & season mode. NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS......

THIS IS FOR NBA FANS!!!!..........period


VC/2k sports fan

They better fix MyGM, and My League issues, or Im suing,lol. Gameplay is amazing, it really is amazing it plays this well right out of the box, you never see any sports game for any sport play this well right out of the box.
