Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

I mean, is EVERYONE a 3pt shooter when you play on Hall of Fame or what? Terrell Brandon just dropped 37 on me by shooting 3's off of screens the whole game, ridiculous. Not to mention, Melo dropped 40 on me in the same exact game (Braids Melo).

It's on Superstar too lol. Dudes with D and F grade 3pts are lighting the gym up like it's the 4th of July. It is what it is.

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

There's a corner 3 discussion? I logged on today to check about corner 3s, so I guess I'm not alone...

Been playing with the Wolves, and Nemanja Bjelica is left wide open in the corner every single time. No matter the team, his man (in my current game, Jae Crowder) will stand right under the basket, even when Bjelica is one pass away.

I can just rain 3s with Bjelica every time down if I want to. I've even bumped his 3pt rating up (at least 82) and everyone still refuses to guard him. The game is far from unplayable (most I've enjoyed a new 2k gameplay, out of the box), but it does start to take a toll once you start looking for it (hard not to do when a man is continually left open, even after he's made 3 in a row).

I play MyCareer on the Wolves and I have this exact same problem. Well, it's not a problem because it's padding my stats and I need the VC [emoji23] but yeah it's not right at all

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

I hate,when people say developers intentionally break things without any proof of such. Why can't you just say "I have a suggestion on how fatigue should work " instead of "Hey I think you're purposely sabotaging your game because I don't like how something works"

No, offense but you i don't understand that.
I like the fatigue idea and maybe it's not a thing because they didn't think of it , not because of some sinister plot.

Either the ball moves to slow after passes or players move to quickly, but whichever it is throws gameplay off a little for me

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

Its been only 4 days, but I've been playing like crazy. Started with Play Now and got a 30-Team MyLeague going, 12 minute quarters. Settled on Superstar because I ended up killing the AI consistently on All-star, and now I get a much better mixture of scores. I really love the fact that I can play on "User Timing" and still get great varied results in terms of shooting percentages, a first for me in a 2k game. The only thing I've noticed is that the CPU falls in love with tough shots at times, making it really easy for me to challenge them and get stops. Doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it makes my defense look better than it is.

The only things I've adjusted so far in terms of sliders is upping contact while driving, fouls and ball security (the latter only on the User end), while ticking down CPU steal success by 5 points. The AI is really good at picking up on ball steals, to the point that I end up with a ton of turnovers at times if I get careless. Some of them are legit carelessness on my part, while other times they are just too damn accurate. I don't want to go crazy with the Reach-in foul slider because it'll probably make the CPU foul out a lot, so I'm trying to learn to protect the ball in certain situations.

Anyways, back to playing!

Is there gonna be a Day One Patch tomorrow? This patch was meant to fix online right? Patch notes are still not out.

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

I haven't seen any patch notes, but when I went to my Loft in MyPlayer it loaded fast and my PS4PRO didn't sound like it was taking off! Lol!

Playing on HOF

I'm going to give this game a strong 9.5/10 for me mainly an offline gamer and I've been playing quite a bit of Myplayer and Runtheneighborhood.

From the amazing Graphics in 4k HDR, the game looks amazing. The super smooth gameplay, animations,and intelligent computer A.i. I can't ask for much more.

Then you get all of this content.

Out of box this is my favorite sports game ever!

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

Some peeps saying the player movement is sluggish like tanks. I've seen this in various 2k games. I think 2k15 was the most recent one. How's this feel?

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

I feel like they did something to LeBron. He's always sucked as a team mate in MyCareer but he doesn't even drive anymore he pulls up on every possession. Even one play last night he had a wide open lane and instead got an inch in front of his man then pulled up and bricked. I know balancing someone like him must be hard but he's averaging 17 points on 48% shooting. He's taking 15 shots a game too, if real life LeBron took 15 a game he's scoring at least 20.

Slightly more slippery.

The controls are responsive for sure though.

I would argue almost too responsive. Like 2k18, the shot fakes are very well animated but extremely common. I'm dribbling quite well, but there are moments when, instead of makig that dribble move, I end up pump faking. It's not often though.

Dribbling can be explosive if you figure it out. However, running in straight lines feels like it has no acceleration to it. You need to zigzag for acceleration (to get the push ball forward animation)

I picked Nike at the beginning of MyCareer but I'm getting shoes from Adidas and UnderArmour, why?

[3304Life]

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

Because UA and Adidas try to get you to sign. All the choice at the beginning was is your preference.

I'm really hoping that the difficulty multiplier in MC is just an oversight. I play HoF, why should I do this and struggle for 20 points when I could put it on rookie and drop triple doubles every game with 40 points for the same amount of VC?
