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

Fix the **** Fastbreaks man.
I don't see how one of the Oldest concepts of basketball is as broken as it is.
What possible scenario would cause Deandre Jordan, On a Fastbreak!, to slow down, turn around, and post up while trailing a passer?

He's getting ready for the **** Oop in real life

You know what's something else that needs fixing in 2K18? Contact.

I've had so many dribbles lost where the ball goes off the opponent, but then it counts as out-of-bounds by me.

2K needs to get these possessions right.

Gameplay went right? Huh? That was the worst damn thing about this game.

How theyre going to address positionless basketball. I don't want to see AI start very bad SGs starting over two SFs just cause they're a two and the SFs are a three. Better lineup awareness I'd like to call it? Just looking at GSW and how it's a copycat league they'll run out that small lineup of like all wing players. I mean my Celtics have heavy SFs but I definitely envision Brad rolling Brown, Hayward and Tatum together out.

Would be nice to have a more in depth college aspect of the MyCareer choice where you can play full seasons for up to 4 years. Declare for the draft whenever and experience college as it's a huge part of a career. It also makes no sense to me how after all these years of MyCareer they make it impossible to be a top draft pick. If they want it to be so real, that takes away a lot. These top high school kids who play a year of college get picked first so why won't 2K give us the option to really build your player and attributes before the NBA draft so you can be a highly touted pick who goes #1 overall and is looked at as a player who will change an organization and start from the get go? That would make the game a lot more fun. Throw in the 3 point shootout, h-o-r-s-e, dunk contest, maybe knockout and some other fun gave for all-star weekend and such. the reality of having to go to the gym and practices and such is nice but having 5 texts after every game you have to respond to is stupid. I just want to play hoops in the most in depth way. or OR just make college hoops 2k19 and let that come out a month or so before NBA 2K so you can start in high school for a year, play, choose a college and then play out you college career which then turns into your MyCareer in the NBA. Would be great to have March Madness in a tournament form online where the top 64 players online get to play out the bracket and the winner gets a ton of VR points towards their MyPlayer.

I noticed alot of the videos they posted before the game came out, showing off the help defense on pick and rolls and such, is really not that good, cpu is still boneheaded and having 3 defenders coming in to defend against 1 player slashing to the rim, leaving people wide open at the perimeter, just like last year, theres a big in the paint theres no reason to help off of a shooter in the corner, i dont know why they showed those videos, if its still clearly in the game.

SamPham's video on defensive settings shows some ways to deal with this problem. It's a long one, but it's well worth the time. It's the single most helpful 2K18 video I've seen so far. Besides the actual defensive settings, making sure you hedge properly in the PnR so that the big doesn't get a clear lane to the rim will also mitigate the issue of defenders leaving shooters to stop the roll man.
