uhhh u do know that u dont have to play mypark or whatever til u feel like it right? i didnt play mypark on 16 til i had like 150k vc from playing regular online matches. Plus the fact that u cant even upgrade your player past 88 until u do practices and play in my career slows down even the vc buyers. People who make this argument must just not be that good or something because i was giving dudes that work with a 88 balanced SG for the longest.
Bro in 2k16 I literally had no badges on an 87 ovr pg and was averaging a lite 20 on the pro am :dead:. These nikkas is just stupid trash which is why they gravitate to this stiff shytfest :francis:.

Played the demo for the first time on Monday.

Overall...:ehh: not bad.


The main issue I have is with delay. It seems like there was a perceptible delay between pushing a button and the action being performed by my player on the court. Sucked ass.

I like the simplified shooting mechanism. It makes the game more approachable and I don't feel like I need a fukking phd in physics to shoot the bell well like one does in the 2K series.

Here is my extensive review of the nba live18 demo as of today :

Pros: The one but in 2k terms “my player” seems like it’s going to be a deep, rich experience. Mainly because EA actually is providing a decent storyline with great presentation and character progress system. Let’s be real the archetypes on live make a lot more sense than any 2k archetype as I have have fun playing as a point shooter . The animations are actually way better than they have ever been and the game rewards good basketball iq and knowing the right angles to pass. There’s much less cheese dribble moves here than 2k and you actually feel like you earned the blow by when you get past your opponent. The shot meter is solid and the graphics are good not great but way better than past lives.
Game mechanics work seamlessly and the sound track is fire.


Cons : there is wonky animations that can easily be patched but for now the steal animation that is timed wrong leads to a awkward reach which prevents you from moving. It’s far to easy to get in the paint even with a archetype who skills isn’t for driving get to the rim at ease. The rim protectors are op as duck but this can be patched. Playing with real life players is not as satisfying as playing with your own sadly and the game suffers from a wonky steal system that is very inconsistent and can easily ruin great monentmum due to some questionable steals. Overall this game is worth a cop it’s not 2k but it is it’s own brand of basketball live has hit the nail on the head on this one. I give it 3.9 fistbumps out of 5
