Published

on

NBA 2K18 pre-orders have already begun. But don’t buy the game until you know all the NBA 2K18 features you will get with the new game for Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and Windows PCs.

Set for release on September 19th, new features and upgraded mechanics are the only things you should base your decision to purchase NBA 2K18 on. 2K Sports releases new versions of the game annually, and buyers get the latest team rosters and simulation improvements with each release.

Luckily, Visual Concepts has revealed a lot of NBA 2K18 features already. There are the usual roster updates and a new soundtrack for the game’s menus. Ball passing and tighter animation make moving the ball up and down the court more fluid than it has been in past games. MyGM is a more accurate recreation of the everyday struggles that a manager goes through during a season. Also, this year’s game has better graphics on some video game consoles and a Neighborhood mode that lets players switch between game types easily in MyCareer.

NBA 2K18 is coming to the Nintendo Switch.

Speaking to Game Informer, NBA 2K18 gameplay director Mike Wang says that players can expect this year’s title to have a lot less animation in it.

“We’ve been accused of being animation heavy at times, and this year we’ve done a good job of making the game feel like you are in complete control,” Wang told the outlet in August.

The new physics system takes height, weight, acceleration and speed of each player into account before it renders any animation. That way, players react the way that you expect them to. It also means that transitioning for a layup or dunk is less jarring.
