NBA 2K18 Demo Hands-On: 4 Things We Learned

4. MyCareer May Be A Frustrating Experience...

Basketball is a team sport, and no man can elevate his team to unexpected heights alone.

Despite the popular narrative, the saying is true - there's no "I" in team. This could get frustrating in previous editions, as teammate's boneheaded decisions or shots that would go in in any other situation, sometimes prevented you from winning.

In this aspect it seems that the game didn't progress properly. Also, be prepared to play against a much taller or much faster opponent, as some mismatches are inevitable, since this is just a demo and a lot of things will be fixed once the game drops.

The other issue is the narrative itself, which is often out of place. You can lose the first game on The Proving Ground, yet your team leaves the court as if you won. Also, no matter how bad you play, you still get picked to the best squad of the tournament and participate in the final game.
