Who this game appeals to
NBA 2K18 delivers a strong basketball experience for both longtime followers of the sport and newcomers. It lets you control real NBA teams and well-known players, and its attention to detail — from uniforms to broadcast-style commentary — helps recreate the feeling of an actual NBA game.
Match types and how to play
Whether you prefer competing against other people or practicing alone, the game supports both options. Online and local multiplayer let you face friends in head-to-head contests, while single-player modes let you go up against AI opponents with adjustable difficulty so you can sharpen skills at your own pace.
Visuals and atmosphere
Compared with earlier releases in the series, 2K18 raises the bar on graphics and presentation. The visuals are closer to a televised match than ever before, and authentic elements such as announcer calls and realistic player likenesses help immerse you in each game.
