It's a lazy excuse for people to give into microtransactions. This grind existed before any of that; even with this franchise. It didn't. Not to the extent it does in modern games. My main issue with 2K17 was awkward shooting and canned animations. Driving past people could be near impossible unless you triggered certain animations. Also making open buckets was way harder than it should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main issue with 2K17 was awkward shooting and canned animations. Driving past people could be near impossible unless you triggered certain animations. Also making open buckets was way harder than it should have been. Your main issue is much improved in 2k18. It's less canned, and defenders can no longer just awkwardly stone wall you. If you get on the defenders hip, you get past him. Help defense is much faster to challenge you at the rim, and it causes you to miss a lot of layups. The took the meter for layups out, but they still feel like release timing matters, its just not showing you on a literal meter. Shooting is probably more difficult, but the cpu struggles too. The end of game fg% mirror real life more than in the past. You won't be shooting 60+% from the field every game. It can cause frustration, but if you just slow down, you'll be fine. I had the same two problems with 2k17. I've already enjoyed 18, on the court, more than I did with 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Grinds are grinds, but there's a difference between someone playing an hour a day and getting progress, or having to play 3+ hours a day to make any progress. Planned on picking this up right away but have gotten bogged down with a few other games and Madden is still fresh. Will still get it, but probably will wait for some patches to come out, and maybe a sale if I last to black friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubs10 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Myplayer grinding for MyCareer should absolutely be there. I don't understand how people have fun playing as a 99 overall and putting up ridiculous statlines up against the computer. Its the Park players that hate the grinding because they want nothing to do with mycareer. The real problem is grinding is killed in the online setting because of the people out there that just pump money in to have a maxed player the first week the game is out. How are you supposed to grind against people that are instant 99 overalls because they dropped serious money on VC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Brown Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I really like it so far. The different step back animations are cool. Gives you a lot more options to beat the sometimes unbeatable defenses. Plus the behind the back step back is my go to move in real life so ITS KINDA MY FAVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Brown Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I actually want to make a shot creator archetype now with these different animations, like I'll actually be able to utilize them in the game now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You HAVE TO PLAY to get to 99 overall. People just don't want to PLAY games anymore. It's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and compare your attributes to the real players in the game and you'll realize that in reality your "99 overall" player isn't even as good as most guys in the upper 80s. It's the ridiculous attribute caps that anger me to no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnygsm Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I remember an old madden had a thing where you randomly cycled through a set of parents for your custom character. It would combine the attributes of the parents to produce the starting stats for your player. You could occasionally generate a father that was an all-pro NFL player and an athletic mother. Would lead to physical freaks. I wish more games had some system like that over attribute caps. Attribute caps don't allow for LeBron like anomalies and that's lame.

Scalamania Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The game play is super smooth - I haven't played 2K the past two years so this is a big improvement for me. I'm excited to dive into a franchise when the opening day rosters are out but for the time being I'll probably just be playing quick play and checking out some of the other modes.
