NBA 2K18 AI Improvements Blog From Scott O’Gallagher

Great read and examples. The rotation and help logic can be game changing... I look forward to seeing how it plays out. This sort of realism can go along way to mitigate cheese and unrealistic play in and of itself. I particularly liked the communication aspect...very good idea and system proficiency is dope. Hopefully the AI utilizes this in seeking out trades and free agents as well.

The only negative I took away had nothing to do with the blog at all; the arena lighting and court graphics looked the same as last year, which is a bad thing. Unfortunate.

I think this is what love feels like.

I love the camera angle, but that turbo dribble animation is bothering me looks like he is dribbling with his head down.

Yes a beautiful broadcast cam. No more 2k cam for me if I can see the while court and not get hit with those full court passes I couldn't see in past titles.

Love team building and systems where player positions matters. Sounds good but I wanna see if it really will matter months from now when everyone is playing. Been said last year to not play out of position but I've seen some crazy lineups work fine.

Myteam sounds good to join this year for skinheads. But will they stop releasing guys with 90+ 3pt ratings so they won't have to inflate historic players with 3pt shots.

Love those pnr screens on cp3 and rozier, please no more canned screen animations!!

They mentioned zone defense for Pro-Am, hopefully you can set up match ups as well. Its always annoying having the indicator pointing you towards your guy but because of match up and player type, sometimes you switch for the sake of the team and defensive schemes.

Bravo, 2k.

Love the way it's implemented too by showing what the defenders are saying (actual defensive communication) as opposed to just a text telling the user what to do.
