Driving to the basket is pretty fun. You can get on the defenders hip, where 2k just triggers a stonewall type animation in the same scenario. Overall, Live is pretty clunky though. The more I played it, the less I was a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I played it, the less I was a fan. The driving is one thing I definitely liked (defensively too). I felt in 2K17, if you didn't hit a special animation, driving past people was really difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're claiming they've corrected that in 2k18, but I would have to see it to believe it. It's been a legacy issue with 2k, 2k17 was just more canned animations than they even typically put out. I enjoyed Live's demo, but once I played a few games, I was ready for 2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OkeyDoke21 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 It's definitely not my bag, but I'll give it a chance. I am a MyLeague, with the occasional MyGM, type player anyway. MyCareer always grows stale to me, regardless of how they do it. My 10 year old self would have lived in that mode, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texansfan713 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I preordered it on yesterday when I got Madden. Got the legend edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcurtain29 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Honestly, the Run the Neighborhood part is incredible. It looks like something that would give me a reason to buy 2k this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's not to like, honestly. It's a very open-world look at the game. Gives you freedom and the ability to actually feel like you're in a community playing street ball. I wish NHL did anything remotely close to this. Also, this could mean a ton of less loading screens... That's always a big plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any interest in playing street ball, or nba jam style basketball as I like to call it. I usually just stick to the GM Mode, which is the best of any sports title out there right now IMO. I just hope this doesn't distract them from continuing to make improvements to GM mode, like Madden has completely abandoned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Debating picking up a PS4 slim (Amazon bundle with uncharted 4) mainly to play Madden and NBA2K18. Please advise whether I should or shouldn't. The last 2K game I played was 2K14 I believe, my roommate and I ran a two team league and it was a blast, also had fun with my own player. I know this game hasn't launched yet but from the article on page 1 it looks great for offline players like me to run a team in a franchise mode.
