2k has its share of bizarre rear end poo poo though. Jarred Sulligner making like 5 3s a game, Brook Lopez being an unstoppable God,

Is it just me or did that game load way faster than 17 on PS4?

Apparently 2k wants to change the player creation system in response to feedback, but can't do it for the day 1 patch, so it may take a couple patches

So anyone who's gotten the Switch version running yet, can you do rebrands with custom assets on it? I just checked the NBA 2k site for uploading that stuff and it didn't show Switch.

If not this is a big deal for me, I'll need to purchase a new copy for PS4.

I was legitimately surprised that the game loaded up and played smoothly within like two minutes. That did not happen often in 17.

I'm on Xbox to be clear

Enjoying mycareer quite a bit, playing a big man is very fun so far. VC rewards are pretty stingy and it doesn't look like there's a boost for turning up the difficulty anymore that I can see? Also boy holy poo poo gently caress does everything cost a ton of VC, and lots of stuff isn't even the "buy it once and you can switch back to it for free whenever" thing, like haircuts for instance.

Also there are a LOT of people running around at 85 OVR already, which costs 180k VC or so, so people are spending an insane amount like usual.

All the stuff I'd unlocked in crates in the Live demo not only has carried over, but can be used on a new character too, which is pretty neat.

The legend edition (which is 100$ drat dollars) comes with 100k, the legend edition gold which i think is 200 dollars comes with 250k.


e: legend edition gold is 150$ i think actually but still.

So if I make a drive/post scoring Center am I gonna eat poo poo on defense a lot? It looks like the ratings for that stuff are pretty low but take a good leap up if I go driving/defense, is there any real bonus to specialize like that when the only negative for driving/defense seems to be a couple less badge options?

Played most of the way through the prelude section on the switch, all in handheld mode. The regular gameplay view makes it clear this is not a PS4 pro, but whenever it cuts to replays it looks a lot nicer. I flipped through some menus in docked mode and I'm kind of bummed how rough the text looks, but it's the trade off.

I made a Driving & Finishing/Defense 6'10 PF. I'm not sure how well it'll work yet, but it seems fast in proving ground at least.

yea I could live with no preview but the rebuying is absolutely insane. I guess they want realism in a game where a fade costs 1000 funbucks

I remade my guy as Post Scoring/Defending which is an excellent compromise imo. You still get a decent amount of athleticism from defending and not having post moves as a big man in this game seems like a Bad Idea.

Much appreciated. Otherwise I'm going to plumb the depths of Nintendo's refund policy and then convert to PS4.
