    Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

    Player movement, AI, spacing and one on one plays are all amongst my favorite things about the game...and I'm fairly certain I'm not a little kid, moron or idiot [emoji38]

    but every one plays different, everyone experiences things different so it's all good...I respect all opinions.

    Gosens, are you primarily defending with LT? (You should be able to put your controller on the docking station to guard against MKG at the 3 point line lol) but against everyone else? It's odd, I honestly havent been seeing %'s like that....I just played Houston and they didn't even shoot quite like that...

          The only issue I'm having with gameplay is that I feel like I'm missing way too many layups.
          Everything else feels really great

            Man I swear it’s crazy. Holding LT and pushing up on the analog stick, hand all up in his face. Swish, swish, swish lol.

            I literally had to check his 3 PT rating and when I saw 38 contested and 41 open I had to set the controller down for 2 minutes and breathe haha.

            All star is too easy unfortunately, so looks like I’ll be going back up to SS and hoping for the best [emoji38]

            Other than that, this definitely is the most sim basketball game I’ve ever played. It’s beautiful to watch in motion and I’m genuinely having fun. That damn AI shooting is going to be the death of me. Playing amazing defense and seeing somebody do a turn around fadeaway jumper at the buzzer with two hands in their face kills me

              Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

              I made my player in the prelude at 5'-9" but now when I went to my career he was 6'-3". ???

              Anyone know why that happens ??

              Can it be fixed ?? Is it listed as 6-3 but he's still really 5-9 ?

                  Just had a game where I was the T-Wolves facing the Mavericks. It was one of the most awesome games I've ever had on any basketball game ever. Been playing since NBA Jam 2000 and NBA Live 2000 and this game ranks right up there with some of my favorites. Won with a last second three pointer from Wiggins.

                    Park is ruined completely. It takes ages to setup a squad, cannot easily join a friend playing on another server, cannot easily go to your court, park etc

                      I just coughed up a game (Cavs/me vs Hawks/AI).

                      I was coasting through the 3rd with a nice 5-10 point lead. LeBron going efficiently, Love starting to get established in the post. IT adding some nice buckets (finishing at the rim amongst tall timber). I was putting off using Cavs because I just didn't think using IT would be possible (in the same way as real life). I was wrong. It's gorgeous watching him finish left, right, off glass, getting fouled and somehow scoring despite his height. SO. MUCH. FUN.

                      Unfortunately some complacent play and poor lineup management in the 4th let them all the way back in..... and Shroeder just started abusing IT in crunch time, consecutive buckets and they pulled away.

                      Finally, for the first time since 2K11 I feel like I need to lock in, focus and really make adjustments to get the W.

                      I'm losing, but enjoying the heck out of it because it's BASKETBALL.

                      Can't stop playing.

                      Amazing job 2K.

                        The game feels great and it's really the best feeling 2k I've played since 2k11 but I don't like the fact that I make more slightly late and slightly early shot release than good shot releases. I don't know if anyone else feels that's a problem but I feel like that's annoying. Annoying as in that why I only make 1 or 2 good releases out of 10 but can make 5 out of 10 slightly early and/or slightly late releases.

                        Other than that it's a great game and it doesn't really need much improvement to gameplay. Just the good shot release seems like a shot release you would rather not get at all.

                            Also I must add it feels great in my player walking onto the court and shooting around for that minute. Really adds to the game walking into the arena, hearing the arena sounds.

                              Why? It's all positive. Mainly.

                                Been playing pretty heavy since it dropped and certain things stood out to me.

                                1. MyCourt is GLITCHY AS HELL. Sometimes it will allow you to shoot around other times it won't. Same thing goes with the closet to change clothes.

                                2. Cut scenes are annoying. The grind is already long enough to get to a decent overall rating in this game and cut scenes prolong it even more. The fact that you can't skip anything is absolutely terrible.

                                3. Players being lost and corrupted

                                4. Player movement is super questionable. Some of these animations don't make sense. Your player will randomly switch Ball hands right before you pull for a midrange which throws your timing completely off. Sometimes mid ranges turn into forced my ups. The lack of control is suspect.

                                5. Way too many dribble pull ups and off balance shots. Defense recovers pretty quick so you really don't have much time to pause before you shoot.

                                6. Dribbling mechanics are kind of bad. I'm playing on absolute and at times it feels like I'm playing on camera relative.

                                I could keep going but I'll stop there. The game has potential but needs a lot work at the same time.
