[IGN] Reviews Both 2k18 & Live 2018
A significant improvement for the franchise, but still short of the competition.
The Verdict
NBA Live 18’s simplistic and fluid mechanics make for an approachable game of NBA, or WNBA, basketball. But for all that it does well on the court, elsewhere it fails to live up to its potential. There are plenty of side modes, but few have the depth or interesting new ideas to be worth getting invested in.
6.5 OKAY
While NBA Live 18’s gameplay is a significant upgrade, its shallow game modes fall well short of the competition.

It's at its best ever in mimicking the real NBA on the court – but there's a catch.
The Verdict
NBA 2K18 is another step forward on the court, improving on the series’ already great gameplay. You’re rewarded for smart, controlled basketball when dribbling, driving, and playing defense in ways that make sense for the players you’re controlling. In the side modes, results are mixed: the new fusion of Career mode elements into The Neighborhood gives it some new life, but the same can’t be said for the meaningless story elements within MyGM, and microtr@nsactions now have too much of an impact on gameplay. There’s far more good than bad, though, and NBA 2K18 deserves credit for taking chances.
8.4 GREAT
NBA 2K18 impresses by making players behave more like their real-life counterparts than ever before.
