News Snatch: NBA 2K18, Dragon’s Dogma, Destiny 2 Bananas, And Chuck Tingle


Hey there, time for another News Snatch and it’s an extra packed issue this Friday so grab a cuppa and some biscuits as you’re going to be here a while. I should warn you’re probably going to get stuck about three-quarters of the way down this Snatch and you may need to reboot you brain at that point, you’ll know what I’m talking about when you get there.

Basketball is not my thing so it’s over to the EA2K PR team to explain what’s going on in NBA 2K18.

The Neighborhood is unlike anything ever seen in NBA 2K or any other sports career mode before. MyPLAYERs live in a neighborhood environment with several locations in the city blocks to visit, flush with other MyPLAYERS and characters with whom to interact. Experiences and ratings revolve around player actions, whether it’s running into Kyrie Irving while getting a shave at the barbershop, competing on the courts in The Playground, getting inked at the tattoo parlour, listening to the latest beats or showing off the latest gear to friends while strolling the block. A user’s experience is entirely shaped by how they compete, allowing them to reap the rewards of playing NBA 2K18 the way they enjoy it most.

Bless.
