NBA 2K18: 8 Ways It Can Improve On NBA 2K17

FIFA 17 looked really fresh thanks to the new Frostbite Engine and it seems that NBA 2K18 could use a similar facelift as well. Player and crowd movements just feel stale, so do the graphics and the animations.

There have been improvements in all of these departments, but they were not significant enough to warrant buying annual instances of the franchise, at least for the casual user.

NBA 2K enjoys a great following and complete lack of competition, so it's understandable that 2K Games became a little bit lazy. A new engine would allow it to look even better.
