Check in every Wednesday for retrospectives and other features on older versions of NBA Live, NBA 2K, and old school basketball video games in general. It's a formula that works, and as expected, 2K has fine-tuned the entire experience down to however the player wants it to be.This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! In this feature, we dig into the archives, look back at the history of basketball gaming, and indulge in some nostalgia. Pick a team, keep players happy and try to build the perfect roster to win a championship. The gameplay is just like any other franchise mode that has ever been released. MyGM mode is one of the most insane experiences 2K has ever put out. It's a fantastic experience and one any 2K fan will enjoy from start to finish. There's also a handful of glitches that will hopefully be patched out eventually, but when they happen they can force you to quit out and restart 2K entirely.Īll of this said, any fan of the M圜areer mode will easily overlook these issues and any other nitpicks.
NBA 2K18 FANTASY DRAFT FULL
The game can be played without spending money on VC, but getting to enjoy the full experience in "The Neighborhood" will take longer because of it. "NBA 2K18," more than any previous iteration, tries to create incentives to pay actual money for VC and it feels very gross considering the game itself is already $60 minimum. I haven't finished the story of M圜areer yet, but I'm not dreading cutscenes anymore like I was in "2K17." That said, not being able to skip cutscenes is a huge problem for people that want to create multiple characters and get through their rookie seasons quicker. The game is legitimately funny and isn't afraid to make fun of itself. It's not a work of cinematic art by any means, but there are less eye-roll moments and the characters this time around are actually likable. The strongest difference between 2K18 and it's predecessors is the writing, which is strong. You will eventually reach that star status, and the story is designed around your character, but it's nowhere near as irritating to listen to as before. Coach Brubaker isn't around this time to call you "His Jordan" and your teammate "His Pippen." Everybody knows you're an undrafted rookie and they'll treat you like one.
One of the biggest complaints I had with the previous games was how much they pandered to your created player with "2K17" being the worst offender. You go straight from the streets to a roster and you have to fight your way up to the top, and this is truly a breath of fresh air. Your player is no longer a top NBA prospect getting drafted in the first round. After being away from basketball for a little while, your character, a DJ, gets discovered at a local street ball event and gets a chance to work out for the NBA team of your choice. "The Neighborhood" fully embraces this with a hub world that the player can get around in and not only do whatever they desire, but see other players doing the same thing.Īs for the storyline, your character is a former prospect who had a real chance at making the NBA, but instead had more interest in your music career and ended up going undrafted. It's appealing and fun and helps players live out their dream of being an NBA star. Think about it: The 2K M圜areer mode has always been an RPG game at heart with grinding, stat buffs, and playing the role of a basketball player. Everything is right here, and honestly it's 2K fully embracing its RPG roots. No more skimming through menus to access features and get around. M圜areer is back and this year's big draw to it is 2K's new mode called "The Neighborhood" - an open world central hub where everything for your player to do exists. It still exists as just the normal franchise mode for people that want to build their own super team, but now it features a story surrounding your created character as a GM on a team of your choice. New to "2K18," however, is another story mode: MyGM. For those who haven't played in awhile, every year now showcases a new story surrounding your created character as they enter the NBA. This feature has undergone a lot of changes since it was first implemented.
"NBA 2K18" brings in all kinds of players, but there's one mode that brings in more than anybody else and that's their M圜areer mode.
