What Went Right in NBA 2K17, What Needs Improving in NBA 2K18

[jk31]

Honestly? I don't really know what went right... Maybe that most of the teams have their own freelance offense. Besides...?


Bad:
- Defensive Behaviour of AI Teammates
- Having so many Defensive Settings yet one has to use one specific set or else defense will be much worse
- A.C.E. just can be turned on or off, no description how it interfers with manually made settings
- bad communication with the community
- too many gameplay tweaks + nearly no communication what was changed to what extent
- shooting comes down to "who has the most green releases"
- still to many obstacles for online league admins that prevent full control (though I have to admit that what we have now is much better than 3 years ago..but 2k11 was much more superior ...6 years ago!!!)

i agree with this..but i think gameplay should also be under what went wrong. the shooting has been a disaster this year with the constant tweaking. the canned animations hurt the game. and inability to get realistic foul numbers for cpu...also the amount of wide open mid range jumpers the cpu turns down for a step back 3...its dumb lol

Better create a player options, especially hair and skin tones. After 5 years in my league all the younger players who are created characters look out of place

I didn't specify in which video. I'm just saying there is a lot of click bait 2k video from the community such as "OMG 99 OVERALL, FULL COURT GREEN, GOD GAWD GAWWDDDD"

they also need to make sure we can record and upload gameplay with audio from the game. whatever they did to have to block it this year....never let it happen again

Most insane thing I've seen in a basketball game.

I feel the exact same way. This is the first time ever that I stopped playing an NBA2k game within a month. I revisited the game after every patch only to just turn it off after a quarter of play.
something about 2k just wasnt right this year.

isten man, before some smart cookie comes here and says "why are you trashing this game 4 months prior to release, give it a shot, you are going to buy it anyway"... Let me ADDRESS what the hell these guys over at 2K also need to focus on aside from "server issues, vc, parkam, playground this, playground that"

If you are paying homage to KOBE BRYANT, one of the greatest of our era, please at least, for the love of god... Give us KOBE BRYANT to use in MYLEAGUE, SEASON, PLAYNOW. You guy's sold us on this legendary edition version for some freakin' cards. No, we aren't getting bamboozled again by you 2k.

PUT IN A top 10 greatest SHAQ moments, let us have a few versions of Shaq to use, add in a new Shaq classic team, FIX his Body, Fix his face.

Let us EXPERIENCE SHAQ not just get some bonus VC, shoes for in game... blah blah... cards yay lets go to the play ground and play with these players we got smfh


Also, fix defense, fouls and authenticity of every arena. Playoff atmosphere still needs work, as the crowd sometimes does not even make a sound during clutch moments.

Ive have enjoyed NBA2k17 tremendously, and Im still playing it, which hasnt ever happened since I started playing MLBTS back in 2009, once MLBTS is released NBA2k has always been left idle, and basically never touched again.

However there are things that need improved if Im going to buy NBA2k18.

1- as the OP stated trading steal needs works, I know it wont ever be perfect, after all its a video game, but it could be better than it is.

2- This is my biggest gripe, simulated stats in MyLeague modes. While they have been improved upon, they still need quite a bit of work. Part of it is just poorly rated tendencies by the people who do the ratings for them, but some of it is just poor coding.
And if you cant get it right, make sliders impact simulated stats. Biggest fails in sim stats is not enough PIP for teams, and 2nd chance points. Also rebounds are too high, which is a result of the game counting balls that go out of bounds as rebounds.

3- Fix the timeout issue for the CPU, this has been a issue for 2 years now. What happens is the CPU dont use their 20 second TO in the 1st half, which results in them not being given that extra TO to start the 2nd half.

4- CPU teams never seem to switch to zone, and if I set my defense to auto, my team will never switch to a zone ever. This was a issue for atleast the last 2 yrs if not 3.

5- Put D-League back in the game. If you dont have enough room, then take out the classic teams and Euro League teams, but D-League needs to be back in the game

6- Also I would like to see all the fake coaches, GM's, scouts, and Trainers to be editable, as in being able to change their names, and appearance.
