    Kyle Korver - 54.7% (36.8% the season before)
    I AGREE!!! WIDE OPEN SHOTS SHOULD NOT BE AUTOMATIC...I DON'T CARE WHO THE SHOOTER IS...Players miss shots!! Open shots do NOT fall at a 100% clip, not even close to that...Just my thoughts!

      first complaint.
      the menus setup for timeouts. with the amount of things we can adjust during gameplay and timeouts, 2k should have used a style similar to 2k15.
      that system was lists menu you could easily cycle through. and within that list you can make adjustments .
      not as graphically pleasing to the eye as 2k18, but none the less easier to navigate.
      with 2k18, I often have to pause the game to do all the adjustments because I cant do even the simplest of things during timeouts. this takes away from the immersion factor.

        My buddy got a copy of 2k18 I watched him play it for a day or two, played a few h2h games against him and the CPU and I have to say that this is a much better 2K than most of the past releases. A few wonky movement aspects that have yet to be addressed over the years but overall the game plays pretty smoothly, a good slider set will address some of the other things I’ve seen like too easy scoring when smothered or weird bump steals but I could live with that compared to the mess that was 2k17.
        Say "No" to railroaded MC modes.

          How can I see the substitutions the cpu makes? I think I'm missing something

            I don't think I understand what you're asking?? Are you trying to find the advanced rotations screen??

              Lol. First, I didn't even know there was an advanced rotations screen.

              I'm just talking about finding a menu where I can see what five are on the floor so I can align matchups. It seems like when I go to the matchups screen, CPU players are not listed by whose on the floor.

                I want to bring in a defensive specialist for an elite player, let's say. But I have to wait until after that player is on the floor and has burned me two or three times. I guess I want to know when he's coming back into the game so I can make my substitution at the same time. I'm sorry if I'm not clear. Even as I type this It sounds confusing

                  Just like last year, 99% of made banked shots (especially layups and close shots) hit nothing but net. If it's rolling on the rim, you pretty much know it's a miss.

                  I have a feeling this will never be fixed.

                    In your coaches defensive settings menu you can set who you want to guard each player throughout the game...So if you want an elite defender to stick with a particular player you can set that from there but I have no clue if auto subs will automatically sub your player in and out based solely on that matchup...Hope I didn't confuse you, someone please correct me if I am wrong. I think you can also use one of the bumpers or triggers to pull up icons and switch defenders on the fly...It's L1 on defense for ps4 I think

                      I'm wondering the same thing. You can see the players (User and CPU) go to the scorers table when they are getting ready to check in, but outside of that, I don't know of a place to see pending subs.

                        Idk if this only happens during playoff games or what but playing in the Finals against the Thunder, Game 7 down by 5. The screen starts shaking like it would doing a free-throw and the fans start going crazy.

                          I had experienced that cam shaking in an offline game, I think it usually happens at cpu's homecourt and the score is tight during the last minutes. Homecourt advantage of cpu I guess.

                            it a home court advantage thing, i would assume it would happen user vs user as well if the score is tight

                              I think gameplay wise this game is a big jump in the right direction. It flows so much closer to how basketball really does. It's more messy, there is a lot of quick reads to make, it's more unpredictable, I really like how it is actually rewarding to move the ball, get the defense on their hills and attack close outs.

                              Although when the CPU starts double teaming and trapping the p'n'r the game becomes too easy.
