      Liking all the missed shots. I doubt the neighborhood will be on superstar though.

        Eh, I think he took a lot of terrible shots.

          It was terrible for online play with the lag differential. Nice idea but just not possible. In close shots should be decided by ratings and show quality anyway. If you can take get quality look inside the paint it shouldn't be sabotaged by a split second of the shot stick.

            Has anyone actually ever said "Two hands for safety"? I hate that line so much, lol

            David Aldridge looks a lot more human now, haha. It's not NBA TV/ ESPN...but I actually like 2K's presentation package...they brought back the 2K9/10 broadcast music...

            Once again, I'm sticking by my prediction : 'too many missed layups' WILL be the earliest and biggest complaint thread here...

              Can't believe that JJ and Dion didn't get updates Dion's had the same crap scan since 2k14

                Gameplay looks amazing

                Still not noticing sweat on players....and another thing which has been mentioned is the stamina for on he fly subs, hope somehow that gets put in.

                  I'm liking the toughness of the AI defense -- doesn't look cheap at all. Guys are playing the passing lanes, ball tangibility is causing juggled catches, and turnovers.

                  One issue that I saw was at the @15:32 mark: Dragic turns the ball over with a bullet pass inside the paint, the Lakers hit the fast break, and every Heat player runs to defend the paint -- I have four guys crowding the basket, no one protects the three point line, and Ingram nails an open triple.

                  It looked like, with Ball pushing the ball into the paint, every Heat defender got snagged by that action and the AI clustered them all up ... might have been a braindead moment by the AI, maybe something addressed by the Day 1 patch.

                  Other than that, I'm really looking forward to the user vs. AI gameplay this year -- in the last two iterations of the game, I've absolutely demolished the AI. It was too easy to figure them out, but this year they look like they'll be playing with some human-like unpredictability, which is a huge achievement, IMO.

                    I swear I hold my breath with every new 2k18 video that is released hoping that it is in broadcast cam view, I just can't watch this game from the 2k cam angle.

                    But this lack of sweat issue must be becuase these are older builds since we have seen so many screenshots and trailers with the sweat in the game.

                        2k is meant to be played in 2k cam to be honest. You can't really perform dribble moves well or necessarily go around screens efficiently in broadcast. I used to play on broadcast all the time and since i switched, screen and roll is easier now because i can close the gap between the screener and myself as i go around it. could never do that in broadcast.

                        Broadcast looks well but for competitive purposes, 2k is the best

                          It looks like the user was chased the ball with Winslow and got him out of position before switching to Whiteside. With that said fast breaks are some of the toughest things to defend and when the ball isn't stopped and there are multiple players trying to stop it, then there are going to be guys left open. Not to mention, I assume Dragic fell or something because he barely made it to the defensive end before the shot.

                          Anyway, can we please at least play the game ourselves before calling for patches? I can already see I'm going to have to take my game offline if we have guys asking for patches before the game is even released. Please don't take us into that never ending black hole of gameplay and slider adjustments again 2K! If it's a constant AI problem, yes, by all means, patch it. However, don't over compensate the AI for user error.

                            Yeah, I rolled my eyes HARD at that. Disappointing, but at least the crowd noise-level was consistent (and not dead) throughout the game. Definitely didn't sound like I was playing an empty gym, which is an improvement.

                              I'm not calling for a patch -- there is a Day 1 patch that will hit, according to Da_Czar (he said it improve things, at least in his view). Personally, I would like it if the game stayed as patch free as possible this year. (Under 5, preferably no more than 3, please).

                              The game should be allowed to stand on its own for awhile and I believe 2K fully intends to let it do that, barring a game-breaking exploit being found.
