Bro I will be soooo furious!!! Smh. Really tired of them restricting all the cool features, to certain modes

If the game doesn't play well ON THE COURT, nothing else matters. You could have the greatest sim engine ever, for instance, but if nobody likes playing the actual games, then you've got a glorified text sim that doesn't even work as well as Football Manager. Were I forced to choose between awesome looks and great gameplay, I'll choose the latter every time. Obviously, having both would be ideal. But one is more important than the other, and one should always keep that in mind. We had a game with great looks and bad gameplay. It was called No Man's Sky. Do we really want the basketball equivalent of No Man's Sky?

Here's the thing. The gameplay is updated ever year. In fact last year's gameplay was really good. Was it perfect? No. Was it enjoyable? Absolutely.

If they rolled out the exact same gameplay with super in depth roster/player creation I would snap it up.

The gameplay last year was like an 8/10. The CAP was like a 2/10.

They're not comparable. One is about 5 years outdated the other is updated LITERALLY on a daily basis (with all the tweaks and patches they can do now).

On top of that devs ALWAYS prioritise gameplay. Fans always cry about gameplay. They know it's an issue.

If people don't complain about the CAP feature it may never get addressed.


They can upgrade the gameplay all they want. Without an improved CAP feature I wont be buying it. Live would be a better alternative.

Special announcement: All classic teams/legends have been given a complete overhaul.

Cut to footage of recreation of MJ crossing up Russell in Game 6 with the goose neck for ring # 6 - in signature fashion.

Ronnie 2K 2K18 Retweeted regarding graphic improvement specifcally about this pic comparison to SB Nation and said "NBA 2K18 is special. You'll see more about this particular subject this week." So my guess is we will get a developer diary regarding graphics.

It's not a blog from Mike or Czar, so probably not from OG either. My guess is an arteam blog detailing how they got better faces and bodies.
