    Re: NBA Live 18 - Demo Impressions

    Are we going to be able to use Street parks and drew league type courts in a quick play mode? Outside "The One" mode... Same as the Drew League pickup game in the beginning of the demo.

      Am I the only one having trouble finding a 5v5 game? I always get put in a 2 player lobby which never adds people. Usually takes like 10 mins to find a proper game.

        I hated an aspect of 2ks career mode - this aspect was that cutscenes could not be skipped - especially the ones at the start of the career.

        We do not need to keep seeing these cutscenes once we already saw them - if we can't skip them right now.

        Please - add the ability to skip them. It is a waste of time to be forced to see them again and again. 2k doesn't seem to get this.

        Even if you have to add an option to the demo to disable them - if that's easier?.

        I just want to play without having to watch them again everytime i try a new playstyle.

        If we CAN already skip them - i was not aware since i haven't tried. I just hope we can.

        Btw - i have to commend live for ADDING the ability to reset / try other playstyles in the first place - in the demo.

        As far as i can remember 2k only allowed one. Which was annoying because it meant if you wanted to try another playstyle / build you had to make one in another account. Who the hell wants to go through all that?.

        Props to live on that - and like i said overall i feel the demo has been much better than 2k17s prelude.
        Cannot skip in the demo. Should be able to in the full title when it releases.

          My final demo thoughts, if I was a arcade player that loved Park modes this would be the game for me. For hardcore simulation i go with 2K I need to see the final product of NBA live before making a final decision but as always 2K has the control scheme and general manager moods that interest hardcore guys like me. Also online association for me and my friends equals automatic Buy

          live will be getting my $ sometime this year

            These are my thoughts as well. Live for the park/pro am stuff. 2k for the franchise and H2H

              In the full game, can we create multiple guys?

                Yes, you'll be able to have multiple players.

                  Hi Schwall, very excited by this demo ! gonna purchase it day one for sure since i'm convinced now that NBA Live is back, for real this time !

                  But i have only one question : will there be solo modes in the retail version, like offline playoffs mode or offline street mode in which we'll be free to select multiple users ?

                  Thanks and keep up the good work

                  Greetings from Paris, France.

                    I know it's nitpickin but there is little variety in terms of ball-rim interaction.It's either ''nothing but net'' or hitting the rim. I'd like to see ball going in with hitting the back of the rim, rattling home etc.
                    Otherwise a very good game. Loving all signature styles

                      For casual people who just want to have fun - this could be a great game for them i can see it.

                      For people who are more nitpicky or just more into everything being "on point" detailed etc - i can see how the game will be very flawed to them from a gameplay perspective.
                      I really dislike this stance. Not picking at you but it's unfair to people that simply prefer Live's engine.

                      I want a strong strategic game of basketball. I don't consider myself a casual fan at all.

                      But Live has always felt better to me. I'm not playing it for this casual / arcade style that people seem to believe it is.

If so, this is possibly where the "Input lag" might be coming into play. Maybe WTF or a developer can answer but I would assume the shot meter is shot feedback and shouldn't be the primary indicator of when to release. The shot meter would most likely be a couple of frames behind the actual input of the controller and this is where most people feel the "input lag" when it comes to shooting. Just a guess on my part. Maybe a developer can chime in.
                        It was lag for me in online modes. I'm shooting fine offline .

                          Glad you are enjoying the demo.

                          There will be some offline challenges that you do solo throughout all our pro-am venues. More details on those coming in the future.

                            I was wondering the same thing. Can we play on the streets offline and outside "The One" mode?
