This is by far my favorite 2k game ever. I hate that you're experiencing this timeout bug. I'm having such a good time just doing random play now/nba today games that I might not start a myleague until Thanksgiving or Christmas lol.

      Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread

      The game has what feels like this under the hood consistency system. I shot 3-15 from three with harden and the other 3 games before it where similarly bad shooting nights. Now he's back hitting 4 or do threes a game on 10 attempts. The whole season has been very up and down. I just find that odd even though i really like it.

      I actually just found out that every perfect release doesn't result in a green. Lol i just though the shot meter was hilariously broken this year and just nobody wanted to about it.

        My first game with HOF default sliders in my season with the Pistons
        I loved the challenge, didn't feel any cheese.

        By the way CPU used all of their timeouts.

        BOX SCORE AND TEAM STATS BELOW, WON THE GAME BY 107-104

              I really do not know what to think.

              in the menu I tried to replace rotation with fatigue, but the result does not change.

              Are the games you made in Play Now?

              (The cpu timeout calls him only if the user is ten points ahead)

                  But in this video, the CPU calls a single two-quarters timeout. Do you see something does not work? He should have called two already

                    That's the only time the CPU calls timeouts is when you set advanced rotations... But then that starts a whole other issue when the cpu leaves their players in even when they are in foul trouble because they won't deviate from the set rotation... Either way it's a mess... If you don't set rotations the CPU won't call timeout until the 4th quarter causing players to foul out... If you set rotations they will call timeouts finally but they won't sub players out in foul trouble causing them to still foul out more than they should... 2k really needs to address this... Because for me it ruins the flow of the game if I have to manually sub out players for the cpu because they are too braindead to realize their star player is in foul trouble

                        User -> Phila (on display: 6 timeout remaining)

                        CPU -> Clippers (on display: 7 timeout remaining)

                        this is another kind of bug (compared to yesterday's photos)

                          how does anyone win against the cpu in this game.
                          are folks using the elite teams to win.
                          this game is ridiculously hard, even on pro level.
                          Ive only won 2 games since I started playing 2k18.

                          rookie level is way to easy and the other levels are hard.

                            Move the ball and play to your team's strengths on offense, and control all five players on defense, manually guiding your players around screens and such. Try using Sam Pham's defensive settings if you're having issues with your players going brain dead on the defensive end. I plug in his settings and use his advice every single game, and it really works. You can play some lockdown defense with them when the momentum isn't heavily favoring the CPU.

                            If your shots aren't falling, try something different, such as posting up, driving to the basket with good ball handlers or drawing fouls. Sometimes, when the CPU gets going, nothing is going to work and your offense is going to come to a screeching halt no matter what you do, but you also get to go on runs of your own if you play well, so it evens out in the end.

                              all good advice.
                              Ive tried Sam Phams defensive strategies, and it works to an extent.
                              The only thing I can do well, is play in the post.

                              The game is just hard, which in the long run may be a good thing.
                              Im going to continue to push through my gm mode. see if I can get through an 82 games like I usually do. but ive never started out so poorly.
                              currently 2-24. season's already over.

                                Wizards(user) vs. Raptors(cpu)...Raptors called timeout with over 4 minutes left in the 1st quarter so Im still not having a problem with the cpu calling timeout and this is a NBA Today game, no advanced rotations set, hof default.
