    I think Ive finally adjusted the sliders to my liking. Ive found a slider set that keeps the rebounding numbers close to what the numbers reflect in real life.

    Which sliders i should tweak to get more realistic rebound-stats in MYGM? i play with the Timberwolves (All-Star difficulty, default sliders) and Karl-Anthony Towns is a rebound-monster, averaging more than 20 rebounds per game, this is out of order....would be nice if i can fix this a little bit

      Towns just killed me on the boards also.
      I have my defensive rebounds on 8 and offensive on 1 for both user and cpu.
      also lowered hands to 15.

          Anybody feel like 2K still doesn't have good open-court acceleration?

          For some reason, when I'm running at full speed with Lebron, he does that normal running dribble motion but doesn't really get any faster.

          It just looks weird to see Lebron not doing bigger dribbles on fast breaks in 2K18.

          Same thing in the half court with explosive players like Westbrook when attacking the basket.

          As a bball sim, 2K still lacks in terms of feeling that "explosiveness" that irl bball has.

          EDIT: Btw this game looks amazing a side-on broadcast view. Looks way better than 2K view. However, I still gotta play in 2K view for reasons.

              Hustle: 65
              Hands: 35
              Off Reb: 35
              Def Reb: 65

              I'm on default Hall of Fame now, but that's what I was using before the last patch. Less offensive rebounds, more rebounds for guards, and more tip-outs/hustle plays.

                  I just played a game against the Thunder that didn't feel scripted and just had the usual BS that I can deal with, such as selective physics. I ended up losing, but going up against the Thunder as an expansion team, I wasn't expecting much. Still, the game felt open and unscripted this time. This game really is random.

                    Check out ant's movement sliders and see if that helps fake..

                    EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                      Soooooo... I just tried to get back onto NBA 2k17 and play around with it... for a bit of a palette cleanser so to speak... and boy was I surprised to see that all of my save data was corrupted and you can't even get back onto the servers either... so either I'm having some issue all together all my own or 2k just basically gutted 2k17 to push you into buying 2k18...

                          All of the rosters are corrupted including the one's I had saved onto my local files... and I can't redownload any of them again... on top of that it won't let me connect to the servers... and it's not my internet because if it were 2k18 wouldn't work for me either

                            I think random is good for sports games...I never want gameplay to be predictable, I'd rather have randomness to kind of mimic the "anything can happen" feel of sports. Until we really get "organic" gameplay I think randomness will do for now. Glad you enjoyed that last game man I been having a blast and haven't even started a MyLeague yet Im just doing nba today games against the cpu.

                              I played a game today, with Jazz, my favourite team to follow this year, against the Nuggets, first game of the season in MyLeague, and wow, it was so great. I really enjoyed the game, it wasn't easy, but i didn't feel like being cheated, it was genuinely challenging. Leads were changing and I scored a highly contested impossible three with Joe Ingles to the tie it with the buzzer, but lost in the overtime. I was really happy with how game played, stats were on point, game looks really great in terms of graphics and environment, atleast for me, i know there are picky guys that don't like it.

                              Maybe it's just me but i grew up on NBA Live 2003-2007, and then switched to 2k9, so i am probably easier to impressed than guys around here. But i enjoyed playing this game and can't wait to play another one and see how it's gonna go. It' s against the Thunder and i am scared just thinking about how am i going to stop Westbrook.
