Just played this yesterday. Face didn't really look like mine. I'll start MyCareer later. Last night, I played the Warriors three times. Lost all 3 times. Warriors play exactly like real Warriors. Dame is way better from 3 than in 2K17. Collins is decent. As is Swanigan. I let the coach make subs. Leonard is the only player that doesn't get in the game.

Ya I experienced the same thing. Meyers just rides the pine. Can't find any takers either.
 
Gameplay this year is absolutely fantastic. So smooth.

Y'all are trippin. I JUST traded Butters and a 2nd for Deadmon. He's on a expiring 6 Mil per deal.

I never make trades that I think the other team would never consider in real life.

Therefore, I wouldn't make that trade.
 
@BonesJones If you play online and build a my player that glitch above works like a charm. I've got over 10K VC and haven't paid for any. I only did it for like 10 mins. You get 900-1500 VC every time.
An average of 1200 VC per game. Multiply by 94 (82 games + playoffs+finals) = 112,800 VC per season.

I don't know why. I like being the owner/GM/Coach/Player and making the decisions I think we SHOULD make. Butters get's gone on my watch.

And why wouldn't we consider that trade in RL? We get a good backup C and shed Butters WACK ass contract for an expiring deal. We save 25 million with that transaction.

MUCH better gameplay.

Indeed, it's amazing. I am constantly playing now, Switch when I am out and PS4 at home. I am finding it hard to adjust difficulty though. In 2k17 Superstar was perfect for me but now it is between Pro and All-Star on Switch and between All-Star and Superstar on PS4. I think I prefer the harder difficulty and grind out results though, learn the game this way.

I could mess with the sliders but I always overthink that.
 
Passing is still unnatural. Or should I say turnovers. Didn't know so many players had eyes in the back of their heads.

Maybe thats why meyers closes his eyes... He just uses the ones on the back of that pretty little head of his. It all makes sense.


Those eyes dont work either, but it makes sense.

Just stay on All star. You'll adapt.

It's a video game. You'll never have natural passing.

Yeah but All Star is a bit too easy on PS4. Superstar is just pure cheese though with CPU hitting every shot.

Thankfully I have found perfect solution with sliders. Basically everything at 50, ball security at 40, defensive awareness and consistency at 55. Exactly the same settings for User and CPU which is key because normally All-Star gives User an advantage while Superstars gives CPU a small edge.

Weird. Works just fine in FIFA.

I've owned every FIFA since 13. I play it regularly. My son loves soccer. He's a blue, I'm a red. We watch premier league often. The passing on FIFA is not realistic when compared to regular soccer. But i agree, it's much better than 2K.

Ohhhh I thought you were saying it's too hard. Superstar to me is always best.

I was finding it hard to adjust to All Star on Switch due to lower frame rate making it harder but I got used to it now and it's even too easy. That's why I moved to custom sliders on both systems.

I also played Superstar last year but CPU is way more intelligent this year. I was immediately down by 8-10 points after a while and CPU hit way too many buckets. Admittedly though I was playing Cavaliers so it is skewed as they had three great shooters on the floor, Thomas, Korver and Love.

My current sliders are basically superstar with different ball security and matching offensive and defensive awareness for CPU and User. It feels challenging but if I play well, I can win.

Warriors and Celtics are a lot of fun to play. I don't like Warriors in real life but it's hard to resist playing with them in this game.

I have been playing FIFA since 1997 and participating in tournaments between 2008 and 2011 and what I can tell you is that 16, 17 and 18 now are completely garbage. 18 will be the first one I will not buy for any of the big consoles since 2007. Will still get a Switch version to play at work but I am not letting them fool me with Frostbite and FUT crap again.

2k is on a completely different level quality wise. It isn't even close.
 
I like FIFA 17. But I'm not really a soccer player though.

I have been a football fan all my life, only got seriously into basketball fairly recently. FIFA is a terrible football game IMO these days, PES actually offers better gameplay now.

2K is the best sports game out there by a fair margin.

So I should Try the PES then? I've been afraid to like Live.
 
I'm playing MyCareer mode. I'm a 6'6 sharpshooting/playmaker SG. I back up CJ. Anyway, out of 9 games I have not seen Meyers even sniff the basketball court.
 
This game has gotten killed on Steam for the microtransactions.

A $60 game should never have microtransactions.
