My thoughts about 2K18 are that the game experience isnt so far than 2K20. the CPU defensive withdrawal is even better on 2K18 than on 2K20.
I appreciate that Dee said something like he approached 2K20 with a different state of mind, because by the time of 2K18 release, the way he critized the game wasnt objective IMO, and thats why me and other guys critized him, perhaps too hardly too.
Of course, the issues you mentionned existed, but previous games (and next too) have some issues. 2K17 pickn roll is the same kind of exploit if you play like me against the CPU.
Probably because Dee plays mostly vs his brothers, the 2K18 exploit was for him a real game breaker.
But bumping the thread and complaining over and over again with no more argument, then asking for closing the thread, wasnt the best move i guess.
Overall, i still dont understand why Dee prefer 2K20 to 2K19 ?! For what he wants, 2K19 should be the best game for him.
I already mentionned here few times, at least against CPU Duce's sliders are a must have and a real game changer about blow-by exploit.
As a player who play mostly against the CPU, with those sliders, the game is really challenging you. And it seems that none of you have tried this set.
Big heads, yeah i forgot about that. And about Bird replaced by Angela Merkel...
BTW there's still in 2K20 some retro players converted by 2K with those big heads. First examples, I think Perdue and Buechler.
You forgot to mention a big step in modding in 2K18.
2K18 was a dark game at its release, and Bongo88 did a serious job on this point. That's why 2K19 lighting mods were even better. I think that 2K turned on the lights on 2K20 after that.
No mention to UAR mod too, the team added updates for 2018-19 and 19-20 seasons.

Not really. I can understand your point about VC/neighboorhood. But honestly, as a 100% offline player, i never was impacted.
For me the turning point started in 2K16 when 2K started to add hashtag watermark in the games. Then last year, replacing 2K TV content by ads for TV shows etc...
So now, i'm a 100% offline player in 2K and 99.9% offiline in Steam too...
BTW if you're like me an offline player, turning Steam offline delivers a better experience, the game seems smoother.
