Great for the price, my son enjoys very much, having the chance to enjoy the game days before it was released was gratifying.

2k man.....2k......smdh....ok so yea, 2k18 could easily be the greatest sports game ever made but they have too many clowns there that outweigh the good at the company...its like 2k18 took steps in the right direction but then leaps backwards at the same time. Gameplay is almost on point this year..the new movement system is definitely going in the right direction..they can limit a little bit more of those auto animations but let's hope they keep going that way...graphics .....yea 2k just needs a new art team...if they could steal NBA lives art team for the lighting and detail, 2k18 would be the most beautiful piece of art..2k faces are on point but thats about it...VC will always be a leap backwards to me...just give me an offline career mode or something...I could care less about playing clowns that spend extra money to improve a videogame character...then all the dumb stuff that happens in this new career with the lame story clips and lame characters they come up with..please just stop...gameplay going good, art and creative team need to go tho!

I haven’t bought an NBA game in about 5 years. I was excited to see how realistic this game looked. I’m one that loves to play season player mode with the ALL TIME TEAMS. This game has that option plus lots more. 2KNBA is the best franchise for basketball games by far! I already knew that. The realism of this game is fantastic. Highly recommend!

With NBA2k it's never really been gameplay but the same problems come every year in regards to online servers and multiple bugs that have to be patched. Lots of micro transactions and the online issues make me unable to rate the game higher but at this point they know they are the best show in town and behave like it. Hopefully NBA Live will continue to improve and really give them some competition, otherwise nothing will change. My player is full of cut scenes and sill jokes that most don't find funny and we're forced to sit through it all while trying to grind out better my players. Okay to purchase if you love basketball but be prepared to spend and lower your expectations on things working properly for the first few months. Also still can't play pro am with friends on different coasts.

This game is one of my favorite 2k titles so far. It appears they are starting to get it right with the way the players move and the games play. The control that you have now is more fluid then compared to previous titles.
If you are a GCU Member, I highly suggest buying the regular copy and then buying the 450,000 VC. The regular Gold Edition is 149.99 and comes with 250,000 VC. But the regular game for 47.99 with GCU and then by the 450,000 vc for $99. Ends up being 150.00

2K has always been great! Controls are little hard though and takes from getting used to. MyPark is awesome this year.

The game when on the court is good (aside from constantly missing open layups and shots). The VC grind is atrocious. Not to mention that the VC you do earn magically disappearing sometimes is just infuriating. Unless you want to spend a ridiculous amount of time to grind it out, or spend another $50 just to make your player "decent", it's not worth it.

I have both LIVE and 2K, and while this is the better game overall it's not by much, live is definitely catching up slowly. The graphics are better and of course updated roster but the gameplay feels very familiar and the game modes haven't changed. It's starting to feel like madden where it's just tweaked every year with an updated roster, I would recommend this game over LIVE for simulation but if you like more of an arcade style then definitely go buy LIVE.

I have been playing 2k NBA series for a while now. I have transitioned from NBA live arcade style to a more realistic feel in the 2k franchise and have never looked back. The graphics and details are amazing but most the features remain the same from 2k17 other than a few minor tweaks here and there.9

I really like this game, the core gameplay is great, but the problem I have with it is that it’s just too similar to the previous games in the series. There are definitely some improvements and it’s an enjoyable game to play, but I’m getting a little fatigued and will probably switch over to NBA live for a couple years. So overall the game if you know what you’re getting, just not for me right now.

This game has taken such a huge step forward in just one year. The my player is different and some what difficult but you don’t fall and mess up as much as you would think. Way more interactive and detailed. Nothing but steps forward when playing it.

NBA 2K always up their game every year. This game is just as good as the others. What make this year a lot diffrent is the commissioner mode. The modefelt like a story mode and how my rockets were relocated to Seattle. A great game.
