I played a 6'11 Rebounding/Slashing PF and it felt pretty good even with low ratings. I was able to make a pretty big impact on both ends, and was able to get in some pretty satisfying dunks on my defenders in the post in a way that the game has really struggled with in previous years.

that is appealing, I was gonna make my big dude in Live and go for a fast one in 2k but I think I'll switch that up and stick with my usual big dunk monster in 2k if they finally made contested dunks feel cool to pull off.

so apparently they said playing a big in the paint is a much more satisfying experience in 2k18, anyone make one in the prelude to test that out? I'm torn between making a shorter and speed focused guy or a big center rear end kicker for my Driving & Finishing/Post Scorer

I did. I rarely do post moves just alley oops and put backs. I'm a nerd who likes defense and rebounding but ya a big was way more fun in the prelude my pg was trash

yea apparently 2k guys on twitter are specifically saying the post stuff is a big improvement, I typically play bigs too but this time I tried something new so I got no clue.

Good thing we can only play the prelude once

You can play it again if you go offline -> delete the prelude data -> reload the prelude offline -> reconnect and start again.

Specifically for big guys there's supposed to be better post animations and finesse for playing a lighter guy in the post.

Rebounding looks really strong, with the rebounding badge now giving a shooting bonus to the person you kick the ball out to after getting the board, and putbacks being easier for faster SFs and PFs.

I believe it was the tweet that said that NBA2k18 digital preorders unlock at 9PM local time tomorrow for all systems. Maybe it was removed because it'll unlock at 9pm PST?

No, but the PC version is generally full of hackers if you play online at all and the online community is very small.
