Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett Set to Join the Broadcast Booth in NBA 2K18 - Trailer

Nice. But I wonder what's the difference between these guys commentating and the others. Are they gonna be like rare or something? I also noticed Sam Cassell on KGs wolves looks to have a better scan.

XV! I miss your music buddy.

I was already on board but really hopeful after this video.

I still think KG needs to be skinnier. He always looks 'bulkier' in 2K than he was in real life. In real life, in his prime, he was something like a more muscular Durant (maybe one size bigger on the jersey/shorts).

I do like the addition of Kobe and KG, hopefully they recorded a lot of lines.

Crowd atmosphere seems a little better? Tough to tell what's actually in the game and what's been inserted into the trailer. If it sucks again like it has the last few years, I'm crossing my fingers someone on PC can figure out a way to mod that.

Like the way the ball handling looks, Kyrie (and quick guards of his type) seems like he's got it on a string, very graceful.

Embiid's post move was nice, but I question why Gordon Hayward didn't help off from Ben Simmons -- seemed like the defensive AI was unaware that Simmons isn't a great threat from deep (but then again, Simmons is in a corner and there's no telling what the AI settings were -- it could have been strictly man-to-man defense).

Spacing in the paint seems to still be an issue -- the part of the trailer where Kobe is talking about threes and Steph Curry, the Warriors defense is crowded in the paint, while the Lakers offense is trying to run a pick in there too. I don't like the way Durant loses his man, his positioning seem whack -- he stayed out near the three point line, then ran inside to cover Ingram (it seems or maybe Clarkson), then the play triggered and Clarkson went through the screen. Durant was way out of position and Clarkson nailed the triple. AI Defense may still be a problem.

I gotta see more, but i feel like the dibbling will be better in Live 18. I hate how the escape dribbles looked last year and it looks the same from the video. If anything Live 18 does right it's the dribbling. In the demo Kyrie animated with quick dribbles like how he does in real life. I also liked in the demo how you can have a bounce with the escapes in any direction and chain them. Everything else looked pretty good from this trailer. Still need to see more.

Nah.

Shaq's head is too big. But the others look fine.

New/redone hand wrap at the 0:07 mark on Justise Winslow. As far as the rest of the video, spacing seemed to be improved in the half-court, especially in the Embiid-Horford post match-up.

Actually surprised to see Curry still garner a perfect release on a heavily contested shot attempt. I get that it's Curry, but I hope we only see this out of the elite players at a normal rate.

Kyrie looked pretty good with breaking down his guy and getting by, whether it was Fultz or KCP; encouraging to see that he exploded on his step to the basket or to get his shot off; no signs of him unnecessarily slowing down or being trapped in an animation to kill his movement.
