NBA 2K18 Hands-On Impressions - Offense, New Controls, Mechanics (DmanUnt2014)

DmanUnt2014 has posted his NBA 2K18 hands-on impressions from his recent trip to 2K. In this video, he goes over offense, new controls and mechanics. Some details from the video below, thanks to Smirkin Dirk.

Recommended Videos
  • Shot meter is above the head, and is vertical.
  • Shooting not as easy, but very rewarding.
  • Still some load-ups on catch and shoots.
  • Amazing branching. Able to branch out of animations.
  • Triple threat is excellent. More fluid and explosive
  • New rebounding system.
  • Post game been beefed up. Height and weight mattered.
  • Felt like speed mattered. He brought up Fox getting out in the open court, and Westbrook being too quick and exploiting mismatches.
  • Dribbling is fine.
  • Hopstep and then dribble is gone. You have to shoot.
  • A new button to take control of someone else on court.
  • Sub menus/play calling back to buttons, much easier.
  • Felt he needed time to adjust to the passing. Lead passing too dominant, it tended to drag players to far.
  • New pick and roll system. No brick walls.
  • Ball tangibility, not as frustrating as 2K17.
  • He still feels the court is too small.
  • Layups and dunks too slow sometimes, although no chasedown blocks.
