NBA 2K18 Offensive Tendencies, AI Execution & Motion Blog From Da_Czar

Loving the new tendencies!

[BluFu]

All roster editors worldwide say a big THANK YOU for these new tendencies

Oh-me-oh-my, that Flow Tech is where it's at. Between that and the new Motion, I can't wait to get my hands on this game.

[WTF]

Flow Tech looks legit. Absolutely sick. That flare by JJ catching him cheating was excellence.

I've got to say, this is shaping up to be the best 2k yet. Its all in the execution of course, but everything shown here looks and sounds phenomenal.

Also, the Bonus clips of Kyrie and Harden, the quickness of the dribbles and moves, looks like we finally have our control back, which has long been one of my major complaints. I may be spending a lot of time with 2k this year finally.

Czar,

Great job on the blog! I have a few ?'s if you can answer

1. When determining the substitutions will the CPU AI take into account player positions when subbing? I ask b/c based on the screenshot guys like James Johnson are listed at SF when they should be subbed as a PF. Will there be an adjustment to player positions to help with that sub pattern etc?

2. How often will the tendencies be updated?

3. Have play types been revised this year? Many bigs last year in 2K17 needed an update of their play type and then they played like themselves. Hopefully you've been able to reconfigure that for this year?

4. Are classic teams getting playbook and tendencies edited too?

5. Will coach points of emphasis have any affect on the AI offense this year? Will those POE be updated this year?

Èverything sounds amazing. Just hoping 2k doesn't derail the gameplay with patches this year. I want the game that I purchase at launch, to be the same game I play throughout the entire year (like the good ole days)

This thread has me now going to re read OGs one, as I am not as clear or sure how does the AI will defend/handle/fare against this new jump on O.

[WTF]

That's my concern as well. I have faith that OG won't let us down though.

Seriously though, watching how quick things develop, and the CPU realizing how you're defending and keeping you on your toes will be a breath of fresh air. No longer playing passing lanes because you know the actions coming will be awesome. You'll have to play honest this year.
