Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my favorite NBA 2K to date! The my career mode is legit and the gameplay has gotten even better.

NBA2K18.. they just get better and better and better each year having much fun can wait and for 19.

If you like basketball, you will love 2k18. Its very realistic and the fun factor is very high.

Much more realistic, smoother gameplay than years past. Also with more microtransactions, but still same great 2k experience

As usual… this is a great game with amazing graphics. The story mode is very interesting and will alway keep you wanting to play.

The graphics are awesome more real play my career is better than before more interactive

It’s a game that plays basketball. You play it to have fun.

This is the best 2K yet! Gameplay is improved and the career game mode is better

Most solid NBA2K game in years from a gameplay standpoint. Controls are tight and refined, and there's ton of features, gameplay modes and new classic teams, including the new All-Star teams. But MyCareer is nearly unplayable without purchasing VC to upgrade your player, unless you're willing to put in hundreds of hours of grinding. If you won't play MyCareer, the game is worth it.

This year's 2K is a huge step up from last year. Starting with much smarter and smoother gameplay. The modes are much more complete and fun. It sucks that VC is really necessary to get far in MyCareer unless you wanna grind through a hole season as a benchwarmer but other than that the game is way more complete. Playground is a great new feature that will only get better as it expands.

Good graphics. Nice gameplay. Improvement on my player.

If you like sports video games, then this is a must have. NBA2K has been one of the best sports game for several years now and this year's game continues to build on the success of the last couple versions. The graphics are amazing and the game play feels smooth and authentic. There are plenty of things to try out and play on this year's game and it has been a lot fun so far.

The game itself is excellent! Just enough has been changed to the gameplay to make it feel a little different while maintaining the quality of NBA 2K games in the past. The only con I have for this game is the VC system and how much it pushes buying more of it for real money. Paying full price for a game and then being told to spend $20-50 more to be able to max out your MyCareer player or MyTeam squad is insane to me, and a terrible business practice.

Awesome game that is super fun to play and has a great career story mode!

This review is specifically for MyCareer. I played and purchased the 2k series since it's inception. What to say about MyCareer. I have run into so many bugs that it is almost game breaking. My friends and I can't stay in the same neighborhood and then go to the playground for a pickup game...it automatically puts us into different lobbies. The connection on the 2K servers are horrible; I haven't had a game crash/freeze as much as Nba2k18. Too many things to discuss with bugs and just overall lazy developing. There is no quick option to join a pickup game. I have waited for a game to finish only to be overtaken by a squad who jumps in front of me. I have won pickup games and waited forever for another team to finally come play a game against us. The neighborhood has absolutely no purpose. It's just pointless walking around to get to a location. If there were more options to interact between players, it would create more of an immersive atmosphere. The vc greed is on another level. When you create a character, you have absolutely no idea what your stats are or how height/weight affects stats. You have to play an hour/hr and a half of prelude before you can finally view your stats. Don't like your character? Start over and waste your time with the prelude that DOESN'T let you skip cut scenes. Want to buy a haircut? Use your imagination because there is no preview. Don't like it? Pay to have your old hair cut. Everything relies on vc. The main reason why I don't like this is because it's a pay to play game...or I should say pay to win.

Game is a lot of fun. Graphics are excellent, but overall gameplay gets a little boring after a while

With microtransactions becoming more and more common in games, NBA2K is famous for leading the forefront. Couple this with VC bugs and what not and you've got the perfect combo for a decent game riddled with bugs. There's not many other great basketball games so this or live is your main choice. I'd say just don't buy at anything more than 30 dollars.

More realistic then last year. Best basketball in game form yet.

As per usual... Great game and fast shipping! Great graphics.

This is a combination of personal opinion AND the echoing of MANY of the SAME sentiments all over online. The graphics and loading times have improved, yes. But the gameplay/controls are atrocious, and I've had issues with my VC in MyCareer. I buy this game every year for over 10 years. This year is the worst one ever, easily. Absolute waste of money. Will soon trade it in while it's still worth something and an extra percentage promotion rolls in.
