niga deal with sue bird then *counterpick*

By s y Go To PostIf they drop the NBA portion of LIVE then they've carved themselves a niche.

i guess you could call it that?

Are there actual human beans that watch the WNBA?

Aside from Kobe Bryant, I mean.

Well, he's not a human bean anyway. He's a Bean.

Do people buy basketball games because it has the WNBA?

id definitely catch floor seats for cheap to a wnba game

on tv? fuk naw

Can you imagine Griner repeatedly dunking on dudes

Would be hilarious. The salt levels would be all time.

2k getting the WNBA would be fun to fuck with people online. I mean, they already got Euro League teams. But they wouldn't allow male vs female teams games, like in FIFA.

This is just EA and their sad attempts for good PR.

Their League Pass equivalent is $7 for the whole season. I should have picked it up because that level of basketball is still more entertaining than whatever random streamer I have going.

tried out this first person mode in pubg. kinda fun

too bad this shit is laggier than gears 2 launch

Might get a 1050ti or something so I can play PUBG again

I'm back at 1080p anyway

Did some experimenting and it seems to be a problem with running it at non-native resolution. Can't find a way to force my TV to run in 1080p, it automatically goes to 4k on the PC, and scaling down the PC to 1080p gives me a similar graphical issue, only for the entire OS, either through Windows or through the GPU control centre thing.

With me moving soon, I can't really afford to upgrade my PC to handle 4k. Also doesn't seem to be a common enough issue to be patched, assuming it is even a problem with the game rather than my PC. Maybe they'll tweak something that will fix it as an unintended consequence, not holding my breath though.

Ah well hitch you win some lose some

I won one, I lost many :P

like Klopp's final record
Normally I'd just go back to Dota, but I've not been feeling it over the last couple of months.

Let's play UT99.

Thankfully there are four games going on at any one time so it is easy to find a game where stuff is happening.

I'm kind of addicted to Ant Man pinball. Totally worth the $1.50 I paid for it in the last PSN sale.

Watching Secret-TNC

Its almost unrecognisable, the disparity between the level I play and pro level

Wards all over the place, constant rotation and ganks, roamers everywhere, ability-stacks, saves, smokes. Barely see any of this stuff when I play lol

Hitch let's play UT99.

Old games are shit, and that's a fact.

That is not true and you know it. Don't say such vile things please.

I also started replaying GTA 4 since I haven't played it since launch and its the only GTA game I've never beaten more than once. The animations dont hold up nor does the swimmy movement controls that I had no problem with before, but the detail of Liberty City is still insane to me.

Get this game

Playing the best games of past gens >>>>> this bland ass gen.

got the two chicken dinners in a row in solo. this is good enough to retire from the game.

Pro-level quality has increased so much in just the last three years. It also helps, entertainment-wise, that the meta encourages more aggressive play than before.

I'm not sure if I should give 2K props for fixing the body types in 2k18 knowing that the gumby bodies never existed in 2k16 and was never corrected in 2k17.

Did they blast this as a "new exclusive feature" somewhere?

UT99 pls.

New PUBG update is broke AF, FPS is really inconsistent and there's lag everywhere. Tried walking up a set of stairs inside an apartment building and ended up going down instead, was teleporting through doors and stuff. Was nice to have rain maps back but then the rain sounds ended up disappearing after a few minutes and all I could hear was the thunder.

i need that new xcom 2 update to drop already

Sorted out the pubg issue, unfortunately coincided with the whole game going to shit

Sounds like they don't expect it'll be fixed anytime soon


Phantom Assassin has been banned in like the last 10 matches I've played. Doing my head in.

edit: Just had my first ever PUBG match where I've won 2 different firefights, got caught in the gas after the second one :(

Servers seem fine in some matches, laggy in others, and I got frozen with 'network lag detected' in a first person only match

Why did the model on the left happen in the first place? That body type never existed in 2K16.

The one on the left looks kinda like a Jamal Crawford body. No idea what he looked like in 2k16, though.

The one with the Rabbits in it?

Looks like the jerseys took a hit too. I don't notice it when playing but it's definitely noticeable in a side by side.

Some 2k info from OS

Youtubers and well known Pro-AM players are giving NBA 2k18 a few test runs early. 2k is allowing them to actually talk about the gameplay also.

Taken from @MarioHTXX tweets

HOF Badges are back
Speed Boosting is still in the game
Player Card menu is the same as 2k17
Brick Wall has been Nerfed
Green Releases are in the game
NO LAY UP METER
You can change the color of your shot meter as well (Yellow, Purple, Blue, ETC.)
For the most part badges are the same
Ref Bumping is gone

Layup timing is still in the game as a bonus to your shot chance. The ideal release time is closer to when the ball leaves the hand as opposed to takeoff like last year. Just no meter.

Where the footage tho

Same shit different year

Some impressions. From Forbes so take it how you want. He makes note of what needs to be adjusted and other changes

In NBA 2K17, these two areas of the game were the most problematic. There were too many instances where ballhandlers got stuck in an unwanted animation, and it often felt as though defenders had no chance to stay in front of their opponent.

The fuck? Aside from maybe 2k16, not sure any of the games have done ball handling better. Too many instances where ball handlers got stuck in an unwanted animation? I knew exactly what animation I was going to do--problem was when the devs got too cute with some of the animation packages--like making John Walls default fucking crossover a goddamned shamgod, which is ridiculous and hurt his effectiveness. But he doesn't state anything of substance here.

Defensively the man D has never been tighter. Like---it couldn't be any more lockdown. And if you just switch off the A.I plays defense like prime Pippen.

In NBA 2K18, there are noticeable improvements on both fronts. I found the dribble moves far more intuitive. There's a bigger gap in skill between the elite ballhandlers and the guys who are good, average and below average.

Ok? The ball handling gradient was fine. The difference between Wall and Beal in terms of ball handling is obvious. This is a non-issue. The guys who should have been able to dribble well generally were able to dribble well.

I prefer to play on broadcast camera view, but I also played two games on 2K cam. I found it harder to stay in front of ballhandlers on the latter. The court seemed wider and the long pass was probably too much of a viable weapon in the current build.

lol

Green releases are still in the game(though you can change the color of the meter), but they are much more difficult to attain. The coolest thing about this part of the game is the shot feedback meter that tells you how accurate you were on the release meter and how well you were defended.

is this article from like 2015?

The only thing of value was the stuff on the defensive and offensive A.I changes. Seems interesting. Oh and he didn't mention anything about the trash substitution system either.

Literally all these pre release impressions are complete bullshit.

It'll still be better than the latest NHL game

As usual the real impressions and thoughts that should be taken seriously are those from the community, but 2k flew them out to play a build, so who knows if they have the ability to be unbiased.

We know that the controls and UI will be changed. It's a fact. With that should hopefully come a focused tested non garbage on the fly strategy interface while in game. 2k17s was WOAT

yo smokey

you remember from like 2k 10 when you could tap the bumper, select a player like you currently do for manual passing, but if you hit the right stick in a direction the teammate would cut in that direction?

why the FUK is that gone--shit was so great for offball

Agreed about the lag in PUBG. It was bad last night.

And Nick Robinson of Polygon been outed as being a creep.

That was in 2k14 and 2K15. Fuck 2K

Sonic Mania and Kiwami only a few weeks away

Give it to me Sega

I just found out that VO:OT & Radiant Silvergun are on Xbox One now.

It probably says something that that has me more interested in the system than anything that was actually designed expressly for it.
