NBA 2k too SIM,less FUN

[RAELpogi]

Hey guys, just wanted to say that i am an avid fan of 2k, basketball in general. So basketball season is about to start in gaming. As any of u guys here i am excited. I was a little dissapointed in last years 2k (2k17). The reason for this is that for me the FUN of it was not there. I will elaborate later. And as i watch vids ok 2k18, im worried that it will be the same. When i say the fun is gone, i mean is it is too predictable, too robotic It does not feel organic. Like every play felt scripted. Even substitutions was predictable. It just didnt feel natural. Again on the vids i have seen for 2k18. It looks like the same problem.

LIVE drops the demo first. My expectations were very low. The last LIVE i played was '05(melo cover). First game felt weird, with controls etc. But i found myself playing it over and over. Then it hit me. "This is pretty FUN! not bad at all!" and i kept telling myself that, Nah this sucks, its LIVE. But man, i was surprised! Let me add that i am only talking about gameplay here. Graphics wise its good but 2k still has the best graphics especially the body types. And commentary and all of that etc. 2k has that all covered.

Again i comeback to gameplay. Live was just fun and organic. Even there subs seemed more realistic. I forgot to mention, i also enjoyed there presentation except for commentary.
And yes i downloaded The Prelude. i am optimistic, it felt more FUN. But i need to play a full game. It felt more loose, and felt good. I will be purchasing both games. But for now LIVE takes it for me. Cant believe i am saying that. But again it surprised me and i keep saying it.. it is FUN. Brings back the memories when LIVE was making good hoop games. I am happy for EA. This is good for us consumers. We all win at the end. Pls feel free to give your thoughts.

Then lower the game difficulty man or edit the sliders to how you please.

As for online game modes, I think it's not enough sim if anything. Players shooting 80% from the field and 70% from three is definitely not sim

I've been playing 2KU for hours it's so fun. And I prefer an arcadey feel.

What is it with thread starters always saying "I'm a big fan of 2k" then the next few paragraphs LIVE DEMO. There was a similar thread earlier that got locked doing the same thing. "I'M A HUGE FAN OF 2k BEEN BUYING IT SINCE BIRTH BUT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT LIVE"

I'm convinced that you guys are some sort of bots just to spam the forums....

i did. the feel of the game seems predictable. and the sticky D is just annoying. even with decent stick skills. sorry i forgot to mention about online. i dont play online. only versus AI. that was the thread was about.

Could have put this in one of the impressions thread.

it's a video game, you're expecting too much.
