The Face Up Game Is Back

[The 24th Letter]

I think all of us can agree that the face up game has been hit or miss in the last couple of 2K's, but I am loving what you can do with it this year.

You can really use your creativity to throw off the computer (who now has realistic responses) or human opponents.

Here's a couple of clips of me working with DeRozan in a PNO match. He let the CPU defend me in all these instances but the jumpshot foul- which is also cool to see.

Anyone else digging the face up game?

Your face up game ready huh?

Yeah this is easily the most jump-shot fouls that i've seen in a total cycle--and its only been a week. They're not as consistent as they could be but if you get hit they may call it. I'm really trippin' you REAL LIFE played the Knicks tho. Kudos to that guy...he's the real MVP

Agreed 100%. I'm loving the chess match you can play with the CPU as for the first time that I can remember, the AI is reacting to movement rather than input.
If only basketball games were this in depth in the 90's and 2000's when there were more players with a midrange game.

It’s great. 2K18 went too far one way with the blow by animations and most recent iterations have been too far the other with brick wall defense. Being able to break down your defender without triggering an ankle breaker animation is so satisfying.

The one-on-one game is A1 this year. It’s beautiful that it’s not just - this move makes the defender do that move scenario.

Each fake, movement, cross, hesi, etc. leads to so many different outcomes and reactions. It’s refreshing.
