    Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

    When I play as Milwaukee I get kinda bored because it's too easy to score with Giannis, but then I watch him play IRL and remember that's kinda the way it should be...

      Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

      So when is the ball going to made back live on dribble moves again? So tired of knowing exactly where somebody is going to go with their nonsense dribble moves only for the ball to be on a yo-yo and go right back to the handler like the defense isn't even there. Looks especially dumb with the cheesy behind the back going into my crotch and never popping loose.

        true. Ive gone back to 2k16, and actually enjoy it more now. I didnt appreciate it as much as when it was released.
        the game play is just more organic.
        with that said 2k18 is still a solid game, but very frustrating to play. I probably still have alot to learn about the gameplay mechanics, defensive features, etc

        I go back and forth with 2k18. its like being in a bad relationship...lol

          Holy crap is it bad...I don't know how 2k does it, but every year people ask for the ability to edit MORE on players, and they do the opposite.

          Just give the fanbase everything they need to edit the players at this point, its fairly obvious 2k's team is utter garbage in terms of making real people look, well real. We want the ability to change body type...nope, lets get rid of the ability to change a players wingspan, shoulder width and everything! its Genius! lets get rid of **** the fanbase needs because we can't do it right in the first place....

          just uh...why? why 2k? Can I get a refund at this point? It just makes me mad that such a huge part of the game they did right the last two years, they take away. They still haven't given us the ability to edit a players body type, they take away the ability to literally create a historical players out of nothing and so on...

          sorry for the rant, the game IS better than 2k17 in terms of gameplay I think, and the franchise modes are getting better, but in terms of editing and for "creators" outside of the 2k team, its hot garbage.
          This. Been saying since like 2 weeks after the game released...

            Haha.

            You would have thought 2K16 was the worst game in the series judging from the posts around here. It's always been one of my favorites though....community is a trip sometimes...

            Maybe folks will like enjoy 2K18 when 2K 19/20 comes out....

            better late than never I guess, lol

              Seems like this happens every year...the forum gets blown up with posts saying "this 2k sucks, it's the worse ever" then 2 or 3 years later it's "they had this and that perfect 3 years ago that was the best 2k ever, im going back to that one" lol...it's funny to me. Im having good, fair gameplay on 2k18 since day 1...some wins, some losses, some blow outs, getting blown out lol but Im having a good time with this game.

                    I can say 100% without a doubt NBA 2K17 was my LEAST favorite ever...I played that game for like 2 or 3 months trying to make myself like it but I never could. Funny thing is...I played it leading up to the 2k18 release and had a good time for those 3 or 4 days lol

                      If I had to choose between the 2k17 suction cup brick wall defense with defenders carrying me places im not telling my controller to go I'll take 2k18's clipping any day of the week and I really think before 2k will fix the clipping they'll just bring the brick wall back.

                        It's weird but clipping doesn't bother me at all. I'm not saying it shouldn't bother people, but, for some reason, it doesn't bother me.

                        I haven't played in Season mode so I can't comment on that, but I have a strange love/hate relationship with My Team mode.

                        It feels like sometimes players who should not dominate, dominate. Like, guys with average to believe average 3 point ratings, hit big 3's like they're Curry, at the most inopportune time against me.

                        And it seems like the CPU gets a steal anytime they need to jack up their momentum, even taking the ball from LeBron driving the lane. Maybe there is a ball protect command that I'm missing, but I don't have much success dribbling in traffic.

                        It also seems like cpu guys with poor rebounding ratings easily out-rebound my guys with high rebound ratings. But, again, this might be because I don't know how to get in proper position.

                          I can definitely understand where you're coming from, but atleast in my experience, if it happened for the cpu, it happened for me as well. With 2K18, the cpu can just do stuff like that, but if I even attempt something like that the ball comes flying out and it's a turnover. At that point it's just some cpu cheese. 2K17 definitely had some suction moments, but nothing frustrated me like the issues in 2K18. I really didn't feel out of control.....

                          2K17 definitely wasn't one of the better 2k's imo, but I didn't constantly feel cheated like I do this year, and I was blowing out the Knicks in that game that the clip was from. It's just really frustrating whether you're winning or losing when ridiculous stuff like this happens. I just want balance with the cpu.....

                            2k20 won’t be any good until 1 month after 2k23 gets released.

                            Although by this stage 2k11 will be the unquestioned greatest video game ever produced.

                              I agree with you...the cpu ball security raises my blood pressure higher than the clipping. If they fix the cpu dribbling through player's bodies and standing still dribbling in traffic with no consequence then I'll be totally fine with a "little" bit of clipping lol. My main gripe with the game is cpu ball security, they fix that and Im declaring this my favorite bball game ever.

                                Yes definitely. Either give the cpu the same penalties I receive or let me play ghost through the defense too, lol. Clipping happens in video games, I understand that, but when it's always to your disadvantage I just can't take it. Also the number of and 1's I see for the cpu at times, whoa buddy, it's like sometimes the cpu doesn't register that the shot is being contested. Can lead to some high percentages....
