If we weren't told what to look for and what was updated a lot of us would probably be wondering if this was 2k17 or 2k18.



For me the changes are most evident once you play and spend a little time with the game. Graphical changes are most evident once you are watching it on TV. The feel is typically noticeable right away. Some years if feels the same or similar, other years there is a noticeable difference in feel. But the biggest changes usually surface after spending time with the game and being able to determine what would or wouldn't happen the previous year. That's where changes presented in this blog will show there face.


The more granular we go with the improvements the more nuance will be needed in trying to dissect the videos and replays after you have the game. Questions like what level is being played and what where the defensive settings will all need to be considered before declaring something isn't working.
