NBA 2K18 Hands-On Impressions - Defense Part 1 of 2 (DmanUnt2014)

DmanUnt2014 has posted some more NBA 2K18 hands-on impressions, from his recent trip to 2K. In this video, he goes over defense (part 1 of 2). Some details taken from the video are seen below, thanks to Smirkin Dirk.

• He feels he has more control. You arent being moved around.
• The game allows you to stay on someone’s hip.
• Speed and strength matter when playing D.
• Steal spamming has been nerfed.
• More manual control about pick and rolls. He brought up the example of flicking the stick t get in position to go over picks. Brick wall nerfed.
• Screens have no black hole effect.
• Loose ball/pass awareness is much improved. Fights for loose balls.
• Intense D is more effective when used with better defenders.
• Right stick warping on D gone.
• Defender has to be looking at the play to know when to help.
