Basketball may not quite match soccer, football, and baseball when it comes to real-world popularity, but the sport is champion when it comes to video games. For years now the NBA 2K franchise has been pushing the entire sports genre forward with its cutting-edge AI, wide array of modes, and new concepts. NBA 2K may not sell quite as well as EA’s Madden or FIFA games, but it sets the quality bar.

That said, even the most innovative sports sim on the block isn’t immune to complacency. NBA 2K16 broke fresh ground with its Spike Lee-directed story-driven career mode, but NBA 2K17 was happy to simply tweak the series’ winning formula. Is NBA 2K18 the next big step forward for the franchise, or does it stick a bit too close to the same old playbook?
