I really wish they would save the in arena pre game, halftime and post game shows for the Allstar game, Conference Finals and Finals. All other times it should be done from the studio.

Re: NBA 2K18 Thunder vs. the Lakers.

This seems to be an issue with defenders leaving players open in corner. This was an issue last year as well, and I really hope OG can fix this before launch. Overall, the defensive rotations look great. But the sagging off shooters in the corner could become a major programming flaw.

1. If the offensive player in the corner is not a shooter, im fine with them pinching to help, but they should never be sprinting to the middle of the lane to stand there. (Obviously, they should not be sagging off a shooter)

2. This is probably worth its own thread. Including all of these GIfs and pictures

Re: NBA 2K18 Thunder vs. the Lakers.

I haven't quite been following ALL the gifs/videos, some I definitely agree with ...but the Kobe Bryant scenario in paritcular didnt bother me, and IMO showed a big step up in awareness from 2K17.

First, to put it simply....Kobe's idea if shrinking the floor at 1:00 is definitely exaggerated...I'd much rather see him positioned right outside of the paint...but the principle is the same...Durants best chance of getting the ball to Allen in that scenario is a LBJ-esque cross court pass that he can easily recover to. I really have no issues with that scenario at all.

Now at that point, after the user defense causes all hell to break loose, I'd like to see his help be a lot less dramatic...his dart to the lane would have been too much to recover from had a pass been made earlier...but what I do like is that he darted back to Allen when he saw KAJ meet him...and probably would have recovered to the shooter in time had the user not taken control.....I feel he'd be stuck in limbo in this sequence on 2K17.

Wizards vs Suns

since they're not all time teams, every single AI component should be working.

break this down for fun.

This one was awesome to watch! A couple of competent players made the game look good.
