More people are following Last gen 2k than current gen 2k

[nflrocks24]

I noticed that more people are viewing PS3/360 2k than current gen 2k. I think that's amazing depsite the PS4/one era being 5 years old. I like it better because of the gameplay and the lighting and courts look better as well. What do you like better current gen or last gen 2k?

Facescans, Post up game, Contextual passing, Cut and Replace on pick and rolls, defensive vision cone for defenders (it stops the psychic steals by CPU or CPU teammates), fastbreak and spacing logic.

Yeah, I don't miss last gen at all.

I miss the defensive post options in
Aggressive Push Back, Pull the Chair(gives variations in post decisions and outcomes).

I miss the manual defensive shading previously dubbed "Shade Stance Change"(gives nuance on on-ball Defensive decisions and user expectations on blow-by animations increasing the skill gap)

I miss the hard foul and wrap foul button mappings(imagine how Brusier would work with this and then the nuance in player's choices in committing fouls with a non-Bruiser player and a Bruiser player due to skill knowing when to use the button, this increases the skill gap).

I miss the create space(booty bumps) and lean back post animations/button mappings(see above except for Post players taking turbo from players due to increased contact animations)

I miss the D-Pad only substitution menus in 2K11. Pressing the face buttons for substitutions or using the Right Analog Stick to make Subs is unwieldy imo. Let the user switch through the players with the D-Pad Left and Right buttons and put the preset Lineups on the Left/Right Buttons or L1 and R1 buttons respectively.

2k11 is a classic, and despite what people say about 12, i have fond memories. however the game has come so far in so many aspects, it's hard to turn back now besides for the sake of a nostalgia trip.

Hahaha I laughed at that one too.

Yeah agree..... I get it. we had great memories. But that's what they were. One of the biggest things people don't realize. Is we didn't have my player back then. If 4 human controlled the other players in that game. People would change their mind quick lol.

Does anyone remember the first try at my player? Hint: It wasn't called My player lol

Oh your laughing at me. Go look at the 95-96 Chicago Bulls arena in NBA 2k18 and then look at their last gen arena in NBA 2k13. Realistic lighting compared to being in a cave. A lot of the arenas in NBA 2k18 the lighting is so dark and unrealistic, that it drives me nuts. Last gen most arenas are realistic to the lighting in real life arenas and I feel is more lively than being a dark cave.

Re: More people are following Last gen 2k than current gen 2k

ya worried about arena lighting and jersey fonts being too small/big but I'm worried about the subpar gameplay. Somehow, it has gotten worse every year. This year I already stopped playing because its not even fun. Even last year I was playing in September all the way up to release of 18.

I agree the gameplay has gotten worse. That's the first reason why I play last gen. I mean it's not bad like Madden but it's not as good. They are too worried to care because of micro transcations is why.

There’s something about this generation of 2k that lacks the fun factor from previous generations of 2k.

I honestly think it’s due to the fact that nearly everything revolves around online & micro transactions now.

2k11 still is my favorite basketball game ever with the best face of Michael Jordan. 2k12 and then maybe 2k13. Something went haywire when they went to next gen. Prettier for sure, but not better. I'm still seeing new animations on 2k11 I've never seen before and we know how old that game is and I've never noticed any glaring AI problems after all these years. Fun factor still is there for 2K, but overall fun, 2k11 is still the standard to be met. And I hope they get that glory again.

Re: More people are following Last gen 2k than current gen 2k

It is fun because i played to 2k13 this week and i discovered this thread after.
I played magic 95 suns 95 and it was just perfect. I hadn't played to 2k13 since 1 year, because my favorite are 2k11 and 2k12.
Today, 2k18 has some triangle offense even if most of them are fake, still really interesting, but Jordan moov are just fake or less good than 2k11 k12 k13 while it should be extraodinary on Ps4/one. The gameplay is really hard, and for my part the ps4 joypad destroyed the game!
It seems that we can't have the perfect game.
We can conclude that the only one person to improve the game is NBA itself to unlock some retro features, more classics courts, more classics shoes, more respect of the 90's.

i agree. 2k went online/mainstream and it affected the core game in an unfortunate way. don't get me wrong, the game has still come a long way, but the quality is what's suffered imo.

Nostalgia is undefeated.

It'll be the same conversation about 2k18 when 2k25 drops.

I disagree, why aren't we talking about let's say 2k5 like it was the best, or 2k9, we are talking about the specific game and it seems that most people enjoyed that game. I've installed it again and really loved the game, more than 2k18. it's not like I haven't played it in 7 years and it is memory of that game from 2011 that affects my opinion. I also tried 2k9 couple of years ago didn't like it that much. I don't like GTA 3 more than GTA 5.

Don't know why are you putting it all on emotions, do you really think that every new NBA 2K is better than the previous one, that is, do you believe that NBA 2K18 is the best?
