    2K has done it again! This is one of the most impressive sports games that I've ever played. The gameplay is phenomenal, and the graphics aren't too shabby either. Even though this feels like a fine-tuned version of 2K17, it's still worth the buy. There will be a lot of negative reviews about the myplayer features because it seems like 2K is taking advantage of the ever-so-popular game2K has done it again!

There will be a lot of negative reviews about the myplayer features because it seems like 2K is taking advantage of the ever-so-popular game mode; charging money for hair cuts and inducing you to spend actual money in the game. I have yet to explore everything that 2K has to offer, but I like what I see so far.… Expand

    There is some hits and misses in NBA 2K18 with some amazing graphics, stellar controls and a decent online experience that holds the core of the game together. However, there needs to be some work done in the custom experiences along with some coaching for the sportscasters to sound a lot more realistic and sincere rather than reading from a script. In the end though the core gameplay experience is superb and I can see why this series has been the go-to basketball game for quite sometime. NBA 2K18 will no doubt entertain and delight basketball fans and sports fans alike.

    Visual Concepts has to be very careful not to overdo it. And I am not talking about the almost flawless mechanics that haven’t changed over the last few years or the modes that have been only marginally tweaked. With all its mechanical brilliance it is a pity that this years’ prime basketball game is merely a vehicle for an abundance of microtransactions that are borderline pay-to-win.
