Looks like athmosphere is not touched at all.

Random blocks doing pumpfakes.

Leaning shots for guys who have catch and shoot badge should be removed.

Re: An Early Look at NBA 2K18 Gameplay Changes

Mike- Thank you for the write-up. While I appreciate all the feedback from other community day members, your impressions mean the most to me as I know you're primarily an off-line gamer.

With that said, there are several critical areas of weakness in 17' that I do not see anyone addressing.. I'm a bit concerned, but I'd be shocked if they spent an entire cycle "tuning" the game and left these areas untouched..

1. CPU psychic defenders; and all the warping/stone wall animations that accompany it.

2. Paint defense (defenders leaving their man wide open)

3. Defensive rotations (and individual defensive adjustments working properly)- You touched on this in with regards to the pick and roll, but what about general rotations?

4. Freelance/ Plays- Setting up faster; Overall flow (players moving with more speed and urgency around the court; elimination of all the bumping and colliding that bogged down the offense, rendering many possessions useless)

If you could shed light on any of these topics it would be MUCH appreciated!

Cheers!

Or maybe it was.

I loved hearing the crowd cheering loudly at Little Caesar’s Arena on an and-one foul. I was playing with headphones on, and I heard no issues with major crowd sound, or the sound the ball makes, or the sound of the net, etc. The game sounds great right now.

No , if it would be touch he would say more about it even in 2k17 they sometimes cheer its just random.

I was thinking about full new atmopshere with real chants for every team not this fake 2k chants.

Not necessarily. I think you're jumping to conclusions at this point.

Maybe it wasn't touched. But it's far too early, and this write up wasn't extensive enough, to say definitively one way or the other.

Plus, if you have headphones on whilst in a crowded room, and trying to talk to devs at the same time, listening to see if the sound improved is pretty difficult.

That's right. Last year they introduced specific area sounds such as ball and net sounds so I was hoping that the next step will be area signature chants, atmosphere etc.

How do we know that's not in yet?

This is literally the very first thing we've read about gameplay in 2k18 and you guys are already saying the atmosphere isn't touched. When the article is about gameplay.

There is some “artificial stupidity” (unofficial term!) in which lesser defenders may not be as useful in help defense situations. Of course, better defenders will be better helpers.
this is somewhat concerning since teammates have been completely useless on defense the last couple years
