By rvy Go To PostThe online in Live is miles better than 2k already as far as connection and that goes, you could notice that in the demo alone. Haven't the full game tried it online though, it's a 10 hour trial.
I've been watching ThaLiveKing's videos on Youtube to see if the teams play differently and I'm impressed, they do some weird stuff at times but for the most part the stars play like themselves and the biggest point are the defensive rotations make sense. If they can just get the animations better, add in Connected Franchise mode for next year, it could be the game for people fed up with 2k's crappy online leagues.
They need to go the full sim route, they will never catch 2k trying to be like them, but I really like the NBA gameplay of Live a lot.

By abuC Go To PostOnce Live has the connected franchise mode I'm done with 2k, I honestly feel like the core gameplay of Live is better and much more true to the NBA than 2k. The animations are holding them back, but I've read nothing but positives about the Head to Head online play for Live, their pro-am sucks though.Live plays nothing like real basketball this year... at least the demo didnt

Put the game on superstar, it's a better example than 2ku where LeBron is posting up nearly every possession.

Not to say that 2K isn't also broke..
I haven't found legends in Live 18 yet, but they supposed to show up. They did AI videos a while back, it must be on the streets part of the one.
Preordered 2K18 Regular Edition for $48, and Live 18 for $32, for store pickup on Fri. Less than $100 for both and you get a $10 reward cert for preordering 2k...I'm ok with this.
Was able to get into contact with one of the UI guys at 2K. Says the issued wont be fixed until patch 2 but no guarantees...
By Smokey Go To PostWhat issuebasically the menus for defensive coverages/ace/points of emphasis doesn't work again.

For off ball coverage options:
If you select tight, the game will select deny
If you select moderate, the game will select tight.

That's odd, LeBron is always posting up against me, I switch Klay onto Isaiah Thomas and guard the ball handler myself, so the CPU spends half the time on offense trying to post LeBron up. He rarely calls for a screen when I played it, some of the defense on the perimeter has been a joke in 2k and I can see it being abused online.

Oh yeah, I never got my $10 reward from BB. Those fucking crooks.
Right now I'm in somewhat of a bind with my money so I won't be getting both at the same time, but I'll take a wait and see approach.

You seen the players everyone is saying they will use?
By abuC Go To PostYou seen the players everyone is saying they will use?
Yeah, but things might change between now and then.
So far off the top of my head---
Me - SC and PM/3 Pt/Def
You - Def/Playmaking or Post/3
Mak - I don't remember
Zep - Probably a big point
G - Glass Cleaner/Finisher
And then we got the guys in here but I don't think anyone's dead set on anything yet (Nor should we be knowing Croo2Ks)

I think most everyone is going with shot creators, Mak said either SC/Def or SC/Ball handling, I think Smokey is leaning towards Hoodie Smoke and Chars said SC + SS. I'd imagine Zep would do PM + SS seeing how he's used his players.
I don't really know what I'd make, Grbac going with a predominately inside player kills either option, until he gets bored with that player. I actually tried a Post + Defense PF and it was good, because the added athleticism of the defensive secondary made him much faster in the open court, and then I tried a defense + drive and finish which was Draymond ish, but would kill spacing. I know it's about having fun, but if they want to be ranked top 25 again, having a team with pieces that fit and work together would be nice.
What are you making Pixel?
I think everyone should just hold off on making anything at all until we know what the meta of this bullshit is.
Will wait for http://www.nba2klab.com/2k18-projections/ to prove accurate or not, but right now thinking PM/SS with an emphasis on a scoring role.
By pilonv1 Go To PostI need to not watch this shit at work. I'm not in a corner cubicle like in the past, I am literally out in the open here. Trying to stifle busting a gut looks weird.

You take this shit too seriously if you looking at projections.
Make some dude and play, he's gonna be a bum either way because of how the caps and archtypes work.

breh, each of these players cost either 50+ hours or 50 dollars to develop, you want to get that shit right the first time
and the only thing that makes a bum is making the wrong kind of player and only realizing it after the fact
Best buy GCU is only $30 for two years? Might take the jump.
Do you get free shipping? Or can you pick it up the night before?

There are some animations that require you to get to a certain level.
So if you want "speed boosting" I think ball handling has to be at least 86. What if you make a player whose handles max out at 85 but you don't know this till the end? Fucking sucks.
Also, just too many things 2k does where they take away things or start charging it without explanation. Completely baffling.

Like phaze said this shit takes time. Last year I had multiple characters and the grind to get HoF badges and upgrade in general was real af. You don't want to be spending hours only to find out later what you thought was gonna happen isn't.
By s y Go To PostBest buy GCU is only $30 for two years? Might take the jump.

Yes, $30. And the 20% is good on new games no matter how long they've been out unlike Amazon. Release day shipping works just like Amazon,dunno if it's free tho.
I still think it's not worth thinking about b/c you're gonna get a bunch of bs that caps your dude at role player status.
By rvy Go To PostI still think it's not worth thinking about b/c you're gonna get a bunch of bs that caps your dude at role player status.It's important to be good at your role, though, and certain stat caps will make it so you can't be as good as you should be.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posthow about you kibNot yet. I hate dribbling, though, so I'll probably pick something that doesn't rely on those skills.
make up your mind on anything yet?
Though maybe I should in order to force myself to learn.
Does a Live pre-order on BBGC not give you a $10 certificate?
Anyhow I just pre-ordered it, with my Madden certificate the whole thing ended up being 24 bucks.
God bless Best Buy Gamer's Club.

No. Probably because of EAs own preorder promotion @ 40 and GCU still giving you additional 20% off that.
By Smokey Go To PostNo. Probably because of EAs own preorder promotion @ 40 and GCU still giving you additional 20% off that.Same guess.
Anyways, Live is pretty barebones. I think I read a review that you can't go H2H vs. a friend. I am positive they'll add that, because that is stupid. But I like some things they did, and I did enjoy messing around in the streets and career mode. I can actually have fun with it without needing to drop another penny. Most importantly, need to give another company a (+1) and 2k a (-1), because again, fuck you 2k.
Just needed something to fill the void while 2k gets its shit together and for a used copy to hit the market.
Nah it's not happening. Or maybe it will.
TBH if we all just said fuck 2k this year, let's go Live just for the 5 on 5, I would be totally game for that...

And if we decide we don't like Live after a time, then there will be abundant used 2k copies and a lot of annoying things already figured out.
Sounds like a good plan to me!

By 5v5 you talking their faux pro am mode?
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postthe chance of buying live being a waste of 60 dollars is extremely high though
Can't be a waste of 60 if you never spent 60 in the first place
I spent 24 on Live! Was never going to pay 60 or even 40. About 20 is where I figured I'd be happy with it.
It's far from perfect but 2k isn't either. Once you get over the "This isn't 2k" part it's actually pretty fun. And like I've said, they're not a bunch of Croo2ks. You'll start off with a capable player and it doesn't take ages and mind-numb grinding to get your player up.
And yeah Smokey I'm talking about their faux-AM mode. I'm disappointed it's not 4 quarters but I'm sure they'll work on adding that in next year. TBH games to 21 aren't as bad as they seem, at first I was really wary of it, but games end and start pretty quickly, unlike 2k where it's loading screen after loading screen after loading screen.

Live's NBA basketball > what I played in 2ku.
The place where Live is severely lacking in terms of gameplay is in the Pro-Am setup, for whatever reason the gameplay you experience in that mode is a huge dropoff from playing real teams. I guess it's because everyone has overpowered badges compared to the NBA where only the best players have the ratings/badges.
If you're into playing the CPU & H2H with real teams I have no doubt that Live will be better based on the demo. I played on all-star/superstar and the defensive rotations in Live blew 2k's out of the water, and I never really felt cheated when the CPU did something. If you didn't come correct the CPU would kill you and it never felt cheap like it does with 2k.
So someone pls explain, u need to delete ur prelude player in the full game to replay the prelude with a news Player? Is that it?

By abuC Go To PostYeah and check to make sure it's not saved in Online storage too.2k BS is major BS. Shouldn't have missed those crappy achievements to begin with but now it's done. I made an undersized 2 guard anyway, so fuck it.
