I'm seeing a lot of people around the internet complaining (myself included) and i just don't feel like it's an accurate reflection of how good the gameplay is, so i thought it'd be worth setting up a thread where people can express their positive thoughts too. The 2k team slaves over this game for almost a year and they're only human, it'd be nice for them to hear that their work is appreciated. Also, 2K are more likely to build on the things that people appreciate. Think about that for a moment.
For me the gameplay is a total triumph. I've been playing basketball games since 2001 and this is the most impressed i've ever been with the gameplay. In terms of the little "risk/reward" sub-games of the game, i feel like this is the best it's ever been. You have to think from a basketball perspective to win. I'm seeing a lot of people on the internet complain that the game is too hard (i can't make shots! Too many turnovers! Defense is horrible!), but that's a load of bull$hit. I just blew out the Bucks with my crappy expansion team on superstar (where Ibaka, Jeremy Lin & Kyle Anderson are my big 3). This year it's not the game that's bad, it's the player.
Not only that, the way the animations branch off each other is pretty amazing. It moves beautifully. Defense feels SOOOOO much better. The "live ball" feel is really cool too. The driving game is great. Rebounding is cool. And there's so many other little tweaks under the hood that i can't put my finger on that are contributing to making this game feel like real NBA basketball.
I'm sure as we play it over the coming weeks/months there will be trends that emerge within the gameplay that need to be tweaked, but i don't believe anybody can have the grounds to complain about the gameplay until they really express how ****ing good it is. To me it's like basketball heaven. It's easily the best gameplay they've ever released. Way better than 2k11 imo, anybody who says otherwise is just getting cute with it imo. So congrats to Mike Wang, Scott O, Da Czar and whoever else who worked on the gameplay. I'm having an awesome time with the game. There's not enough time in the day to play with all the teams that i wanna play with.
What are you guys loving about the game?

Like you I have my gripes with MyGM and MyLeague being broken, among some other issues, but as far as the on the court gameplay, its stellar. Ive been buying 2k basketball games every yr since they very 1st game, which was I think called 989 sports or something like that before it became known as 2k, with the only game I never bought was NBA2k9, outside of that yr I have bought it every yr on the day it came out, and this is by far the best on court gameplay ever, as far as player movement and smoothness go.
Probably the only thing gameplay wise outside of lack of fouls, and wouldnt mind a bump in non steal turnovers, is the skip pass, and the lob into the paint. There needs to be more arc on the ball, when skipping it to the other side, and when you lob it into the post.. Love that they finally added a slider for pass speed.
Shooting is hard as heck for me, but Id rather it be like that, to where I can bump up the shooting sliders if needed, rather than it be too easy and trying to tone it down, as I find it easier to raise shooting sliders, than trying to lower them for some reason.
They definitely did a great job with on court gameplay, as its been slowly improving over the past couple years, as I thought 17 was a solid game for the most part gameplay wise, which is why I had faith that 18 would also be a step up as well.
So thanks to those devs who worked on gameplay, you really did a nice job this yr.
