    Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

    ok day 2,

    they fixed so many things

    this is the first year it actually feels players have weight to them, you know

    I love how players move around now, dribbling is much better & getting to the rim is alot better, as everyone knows, i wouldnt say its too easy, just don't cheese and do it every single time if you think it's too easy.

      I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE the dribbling in this game.

      I have to constantly watch which hand my player is dribbling the ball in because he'll switch the ball without my input, but when I put in a user input the move still corresponds to which hand the player is dribbling the ball.

      I'll try to set someone up baseline and cross over inside but more than half the time my player will switch the ball on his own and while I'm looking for the pass I'll end up doing a hesitation instead of a crossover.

      WHY did they change this?

          I agree with the random hand-switching.

          That is super annoying.

          It seriously catch me off-guard when hand switch so suddenly without my input.

          However, the feel of the dribbling is fine. Just this small hand-switching bug is really awful.

            The game could definitely use more stat overlays. Something I've been wanting for years

              Just had an awesome game. I was playing with the Wizards against the Cavs. Low scoring first half, neither team shot well. 2nd half was complete opposite. I ended up winning by six. Neither team shot very well from 3. Wizards shot 24% Cavs shot 23% from 3. Love how each game feels different and when something goes awry I almost always feel like it's my fault

                Yeah I don't get this.

                Everything feels the same dribbling wise, the only difference I've noticed is I don't get to decide which hand the ball will be in anymore, 2K does.

                Now I have to watch my player while he dribbles, instead of keeping my eyes up and looking for a pass.

I guess I didn't hate him to the point where I wanted him to die ,but man, the repeated comments got old after the first game!
                  Take it easy, I only said it had the makings of being something good if they had evolved it Not that it was good as it stood. The concept of being given useful advice - crash the boards, you're getting beaten to rebounds; double X on the perimeter because he's killing you with his three point shot, etc. - could have have been a damn good addition in my opinion. I know one of my problems playing the game is that I become too predictable and don't change either my style or defensive approach during a game. For me, it would be good to get that kind of input during the game.

                    the advice could be cool to implement, just needs a deferent method for providing it. That coach was an a-hole!

                      So the default broadcast camera can be more zoomed in or zoomed out depending on a game? I'm not talking about zooming during the game, on fastbreaks or something. I mean the default distance to the court.

                      Earlier I was thinking maybe I was imagining things but yesterday I was playing against the Pelicans and the camera was really zoomed it, today I played at the Pacers and it was noticably further away.

                      Is it arena relative, kind of like in the real broadcasts?

                        Watching the Lakers/Minny preseason you can see why layups aren't automatic in 2k..

                        Anyone shooting a jumpshot, when attempting a layup/euro??

                            I'd be doing pretty well in my Knicks MyLeague if anyone on my team could ever hit an open 3 on Real Player %. Shooting 23% as a team on default Pro through three games, seems the more open I am the less likely the shot goes in.

                            The offensive execution is so good and my shooting is so dismal. There are two plays that get open looks from deep probably 2/3 of the times I run it and they never go in. Wonder if the game thinks I'm calling them too often.

                              No, are you using absolute controls?

                              If so, diagonally down right away if the ball is in the left hand and vice versa if in the right hand when attacking the basket.

                                Had the same thought when watching the game. I have no issue with layups in the game so far.
