If a player is rated a 94 overall or higher, they can activate Takeover in multiple areas which further separates them from regular players. Once the Takeover system is initialized, it doesn't mean the player with the icon becomes overpowered, but you can see some heightened level of performance.
It sounded a little gimmicky, but it works well, and dare I say, it's fun.Ī player has to enjoy a good number of successful plays within his specialty to generate the flaming icon.
When I first heard about this new feature, I was a little wary. That's where the Takeover system plays a role. Not every shot is going to fall, but it's possible for a great player to get hot and begin to dominate. I think the folks in charge of gameplay have found a sweet spot. The jump shot make-miss percentages were also notable. The missed layups are still a little too frequent, but the tuning is probably where it has to be since it's still almost impossible to simulate the level of difficulty that exists in trying to get to the paint in the real NBA. The shot meter worked out well in all of my games. It helps give the defense a chance of slowing down the offense. Allowing a player with high defensive ratings or badges, and a user with a skill gap in that aspect of the game adds another layer to gameplay. It was subtle, but impacting in the grand scheme of things. Jordan's anticipatory skills allowed him to hop into West's dribble path and force The Logo to pick the ball up.
I was able to harass West while beating him to a spot. There was one animation that I saw with Jordan guarding Jerry West full court that I didn't see with any other player. I can't say that any player felt like a true defensive weapon in NBA 2K18. He didn't get the ball with every swipe, however, his length, speed and enhanced ability to poke the ball free from a dribbler made Pippen feel like a weapon. On defense, players who are known as Lockdown Defenders make a much bigger impact on the game than they did in last year's game.įor example, when I controlled Scottie Pippen, I was able to get a few clean steals on Magic Johnson and Bryant. The balance between offense and defense is dramatically improved. Much like the gameplay experience I had in Los Angeles earlier in the month, the gameplay was miles ahead of what we got in NBA 2K18.
