To Buy or not to buy? That is the question

I'm really leaning towards not buying this years version of the game. I've not been blown away by anything and feel the improvements are very small. I'm very curious as to what every is thinking.

Please let me know if you plan on buying it this year or not. If you feel like it, please include any reason you might have as well. I'm just trying to get a feel here and make my own decision as well.

Re: To Buy or not to buy? That is the question

For me it feels like compared to other sports/fighting games it's impressive how many things they have noticeably improved in 1 year.

I feel like it's the things like the much improved lighting system or the way the wrestlers sell the affects of the match, not necessarily a single feature that makes 2k18 a must buy.
I would summarize my feeling on this years game as every time news on the game came out, for me it was positive or even something better than I would have hoped for this year.
Some of these changes may not be what you were looking for or not as big of a change. Another person might not care about these changes and want story lines, gm mode, or dlc that's interesting to them before they buy.
For me all of these improvements add up so that I can't imagine playing 2K17

On a side note I felt like you towards NHL'18 and after reading reviews here decided it was like an improved NHL'17 but not enough to make it a buy for the first time in years.

There were smaller changes that makes it worth the upgrade IMO. For those looking for the big features, you will be disappointed.

I want it for the Switch only. Portability is what I want.

Since the universe mode blog was a 2 minute read with more filler than Monday Night Raw () I think I'll either pass or wait for a Steam Sale.

Yeah there weren't any huge changes, besides the lighting system maybe. But if the smaller ones work like I think they will I'm really excited to see how they play out.

I’m at the point where my purchases every year depends on how stable and reliable the online aspect is. Needless to say it’s been a few years since I bought it.

Seeing as though 2K finally listened to the PC community and gave us a release on the same day as the consoles. I'm going to make it a pre order purchase. Kudos to 2K for finally lookling out for the master race.
