    Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

    I had one worse than this but my ps4 wouldn't upload to YouTube for whatever reason. All 5 of my guys were surrounding Jeremy Lin in the paint, and he outrebounded, KAT, Wiggins, Butler, Dieng and Tyus Jones. It was awful, even worse than this

It's the ever apparent legacy issues that I don't know if they can fix at this point, without a full on restart, which for them, would be ridiculous due to their sales on the current games. I don't know, I'm starting to think maybe I'm just outgrowing games, which I never thought I'd do.



      Then, I'll have a relatively cheese free game, and I remember why I enjoy it so much. But those experiences are becoming few and far between. Especially in modes like MyLeague. The games that apparently "mean" something, feel terribly scripted and cheesy to the point that it makes me wonder why I'm wasting my time.



      There are a few games though, that feel like the game doesn't care, and the CPU seems to execute well, my player seem to have some resemblance of intelligence, and the game plays well, win or lose.


      This sums up my experience to a tee.

      I hadn’t played a lot lately and noticed that after the last (one? Two? Don’t know...) updates the game went herky-jerky in feel/control. Same as last year. The game felt so much better at release. Might be imagining things, but don’t think that’s the case...

          Yep. The worse thing is that it's so close, but ultimately things go sour when the CPU can ignore the in-game laws of physics and ratings to produce whatever skills they need to make a play. You can win, but it isn't a fun experience to do so.

          Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

          Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

            This perfectly sums up my feelings about 2K18 so far. The game just isn't fun, it's frustrating. I get angry and stressed out every single time I play this game, and that is not what I expect from a video game. 2K17 is worse than 2K18 in plenty of technical aspects, but at least it's fun to play and it doesn't make me want to throw my controller at the wall, which makes it a much better experience overall. I'll play something else or go back to 2K17 until a new gameplay patch comes out, if one does eventually come out.

                Nice to see I'm not the only one having or being bothered by these issues. Usually the good outweighs the bad for me with 2k, but this year it's just awful. The game is just not fun, which is sad because there are some great elements this year.

                My biggest issue is the terribly unbalanced clipping for you and the cpu. The game is just not balanced for play against the AI.

                Just an example of the BS the AI is allowed to get away with...


                Yet the ball for me hits off everything.....







                Pardon the language....and these are the things I just decided to upload...

                Add on top of the ridiculously bad shot choices that drop for the CPU, the boneheaded defense of your teammates, and the easy gimmie shots missed, the game just isn't fun for me this year.....

                    Ok I wanted at least give 2k18 the benefit of if your playing with a power house team then you can most likely beat a lower ranked team. I'm the freaking Bucks who is a powerful team and I'm at home, and I play against the Lakers....I'm getting beat down by the Lakers.

                    The Come back glitch is out of the world. The first day I played this game it was amazing. Just like every year the first few days are amazing. Then once the patches hit something changes. I'm not sure what that change is.....But I know something happens.

                    That being said. I tried,,,,i tried....

                    This one hurts because it was so good from the start. But I'm done with these games. I'm going to stick with adventure games. On steam the reviews are 90% thumbs down. Its crazy.....and sad at the same time

                      Steam is legit reviews..people who are playing the game for many hours..and play patch after patch..not paid reviews from major outlets.

                      This is also aimed at the youtubers who played the game way ahead if time they knew it was junk and never said a peep.

                      Fly people out,give them a ton of subscribers, give them face time..and you fall right into the trap.

                      O.S is the only forum and place that has let people review the game express their opinions thankfully. It's why I've been a member since 2004.

                      Hope this forum never changes..only real outlet that's fully authentic and realiable.

                        I wish I was recording last night. I was playing against the historic east (my team) and the CPU threw a pass through the body (back) of my Center to another player for a layup. Not to mention, the historic east needs no help. LOL!.

                          For me this game is not simulation of basketball.
                          IA is the same from nba2k16. After few games the IA offense is so boring.
                          The atmosphere is ugly.

                            I’m getting frustrated with the game aswell lately. I’ve played a few games last night in my Spurs MyLeague and what frustrates me the most is that some opposing players seem to be unstoppable no matter what and despite their ratings. I lost to the Bulls as I couldn’t stop Mirotic who would score on every shot he took even with Kawhi smothering him all night. He put up 48 points with only 2 misses. The next game I played the Heat and Hassan Whiteside scored 41 and grabbed 43 rebounds (21 in the first quarter) no matter he was boxed out by Aldridge and Gasol.

                              Yeah it looks so bad during a game, almost like a glitch. Its a terrible code that's put into the game. And it looks horrible. Destroys your whole experience. I'm not sure why I didn't see this before....

                              Almost a great game. But lesser teams should play like lesser teams. Lesser player should play like lesser players. That's strategy. I thought 2k had that this year...but playing with the bucks (me) vs LA (ai) I see now that any team has a chance..Its gets so bad when the AI just doesent miss at all....The percentage looks so fake.

                              2k you truly messed this up
