Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread
Like honestly I would love to hear from anybody from 2k in regards HOW to fix this. It would be like buying NHL or FIFA and having the goalie leave the net or something like that. This is a MAJOR flaw. And yes I get that in the NBA players get switched and miss the occasional assignment, but my Christ every possession? Playing against GSW and your leaving KD at the 3pt line to double a Zaza dive in the lane? I'm really trying to love this game....but this ace scheme isn't working man. Hopefully it gets addressed"I'm so lonely....I paid a hobo to spoon with me"Comment

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread
I'm really starting to lose my patients with this product. every possession on defense my players are leaving their assignments to cover and area instead of their MAN. I set game to man to man....and they leave players wide open? I don't see it on the CPU's end so I know its possible to fix.....why is this happening....

Made the jumper to HOF for the first time ever since I’ve been playing 2K and I couldn’t have enjoyed it anymore, especially with vannwolf’s rosters. Game plays much better and didn’t notice very little, if any cheese or shady tactics by the CPU.

Rather than waiting on 2k, You are better off leveraging the community and providing a bit more detail/video of these possesions because if this is happening EVERY trip down court something is wrong, and I doubt it's the norm amongst the community. What are your defensive settings?Comment

with that said next year 2k should do a better job at the coaching menus and settings. all settings should be easily available. not buried in multiple menus.
Ive said it before and Ill say it again they need to bring back the coaching adjustments interface (during timeouts) from 2k15 or 2k16. non of this convoluted set up they have now. very few adjustments can be done during a timeout without pausing the game. not fun.Comment

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread
I always say Im done with 2k18 but keep going back for more punishment.
the game is so fluid and feels so good on the sticks that its hard to completely give up.
but good games from the AI controlled teams are far and few in between.
yes the HOF plays a better game of basketball, but the outcomes still eventually play out the same way.
Rookie level is way too easy. every other level is just difficult.
2k may lose casual gamers because of this.
what ive found is that, there really isnt any happy median for gameplay.
It doesnt matter if you are basketball savant, you have to be an expert NBA2k gamer to really enjoy the game in long stretches.
so much positives about the game, but in the end it all boils down to levels of frustration.
at this point I just dont get it as to what Im doing wrong for my defensive breakdowns to continue and for my shooting to go down hill drastically.
Ive looked at tutorial resources available and it comes down to- that the game is just too hard for me.Comment

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread
Just a thought but have you tried playing on pro difficulty and giving the cpu sliders a boost and lower the user sliders to kind of even the playing field?? I have never tried it as I have usually played on superstar before moving to hof this year. I have heard some people say they like the feel of playing on pro when they use the sliders to bump up the potency of the cpu.
~Koosa10:27~
Im about to try playing with a different team in a play now game and see if there is a difference. If so Ill start a new gm mode, and see if that makes a difference.
Ive never been great at NBA2k, but Ive never been this bad.Comment

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread
Went back to 2k thanks to some of you guys in the thread and after playing the other game(don't see how people can praise that game but bash 2k but, whatever,lol).
Went up to Superstar and had some good games. One game in particular Lakers Vs Clippers, me controlling the clippers, and the game was mostly good, but the Lakers were just on fire. Hit 13 threes, lol, shot 50 percent for the game. Played another game against them to see if it was a fluke, and it was. Played against them with golden state and they stunk the place up.
Hope this fun continues. Idk for me, I feel if you take a break from this game, and go play the other one, you'll definitely appreciate this game more.....lmaooohttp://twitter.com/sageinfinite

Re: NBA 2k18 Impressions Thread
The open corner 3 problem was fixed on my end by one of the earlier patches, it is still good to defend with all 5 of your players meaning if you play on-ball defense majority of the time you're going to have to start mixing in on-ball and off-ball defense, If you see one of your players get caught on a screen you have to switch off the ball to help becaise the AI is good but it can only do so much and it's going to need some help from time time. My big men are also doing a good job of rotating on the back end to defend the paint if I get caught slipping on defense. This is all play now and nba today games, haven't started a myleague yet and DEFINTELY NOT playing mycareer or online. Hope I could help you out a little bit with this little nugget of info. Let me know how it works out for you Jayman.

Only played on ball defense and never really paid attention to my guys on defense since I assumed the CPU would help out there. They didn’t and once I started mixing in off ball/on ball defense, it definitely made the game a lot more enjoyable.
Also allowed me to do better on the rebounding front and focus more on boxing out guys myself as opposed to just ball watching and getting killed on the glass.
