The A.I. is either brain dead or perfect so far. They rotate beautifully problem is not every player is that fast or smart.

I been juggling this and 2K since release...

Live about to eat these nikkas lunch next year...especially if they convert over to Frostbite.
Those who are simply just dismissing live this year without playing the full game are missing out. It is not complete as 2K is yet, but the core is rock solid. Glad I went this route this year tbh.

The bolded is blasphemy.

Gameplay is not close but if it gets more fluid, less paint spammy, and the AI improves next year I'm copping over 2k.
Breh my homie got a 75 inch 4K tv .

Don't tell me what I saw 2k didn't look better than live to me .

Didn't even know that had that yet. I finally got my face scan to work (had to delete & reinstall the game). I'll probably try the challenge tomorrow
It already ended, but this was before he was traded to the Thunder so they will likely have another.

PG, Melo and Westbrook challenge :damn:

BTW

User Reviews for 2K on the PS4/XBOX One are both in the 3-4 range :sas1:

User Reviews for NBA LIVE on the PS4/XBOX ONE are both in the 7-8 range :sas2:

It might be time for some of y'all to look at other options :win:
So we're gonna act like the large majority of the 2K user reviews are not shytting on the vast amount of micro transactions that plagues one game mode and not the gameplay? If 2k wasn't so greedy this year and just kept the VC model from last year, 2k18 is easily a 9+ game :francis:.

I can't wait to cop this during black friday though :wow:. If it's true that the online lag that the demo had is gone, i'm IN :wow:.

If that one mode is the only mode you play it can significantly impact your enjoyment of the game. I saw that micro-transaction brewing over the past few years and I was not down with that shyt. To go along with the dumbazz career modes...that Spike Lee shyt started it first and I was like :wtf:

Nah, I will stick with the 2K15 career mode if I ever get that 2K itch again, but I doubt it with how much I am enjoying this.

Get the fukk out of here. YOU out of all people talking with your blind stannary for Ubisoft games.

I haven’t been paid by a software company in years and never had an EA deal actually.

Naw fam. Never seen you speak on sports games ever all the sudden you a live hype man. Same shyt last year pumping up weak ass TF2. I see you getting them EA checks:skip::youngsabo:

Interesting notes from my "the one" experience.
I started Off with a point scorer got up to a 89 but created a wing scorer to experiment. I noticed the teammate grade system is contextual. Far from perfect but I like it.

As a point scorer I would get drove and dished vs my wing scorer I get a "Set up teammate". I get way more points for playing good defense as well as a wing. I guess you get more points towards your teammate grade if you play closer to your role.


The ball physics are strange at times to say the least. I've seen more stray passes hit dudes in the face or head than any other hoop game. The announcers even acknowledge it!!! I hope they work on it. When the ball is loose the players just stand around at times. Or crowd around one player who leaps for the ball... To only let it bounce off their bodies.

Although the level up system is a bit too fast it's still better than the grind in 2K.
