NBA 2K17 Features Revamped Rebounding, Fatigue, & Steal Systems (IGN)

IGN has posted some NBA 2K17 features, including details on revamped rebounding, fatigue and steal systems, along with improved lighting and graphics.

Visual Concepts has also done some work on the rebound system to make it closer to real life basketball. “Last year, pretty much every rebound was caught cleanly by a defender,” Blumberg said. “That doesn’t happen in basketball all the time. There’s a lot of fighting for the ball, it gets tipped around, and it’s a physical part of the game.” He told us that players will see the ball get tipped around more as players crash the backboards. You can tap the ball over to a teammate if you’re unable to pull bound a rebound yourself. We even saw an offensive player catch the ball and take a shot in mid-air. Blumberg said stealing the ball also had a significant revamp, so it’s not abused as much as it was last year’s games.

In previous 2K games, you could play your starting roster for the majority of the game and play for 48 minutes straight without it affecting your players.

I disagree with that. I personally can't.

I always wanted arena specific lighting that is awesome news wish they did something similar to what Live did in,showing the different arena looks.

So many people said this was an issue last year...I didnt see it either

Arena specific lighting is something I need to see before I get excited about that.

I remember they said in that in previous 2Ks and outside of MSG and Staples, every other Arena looked the same as far as lighting went. I think they screwed up the lighting at Barclays the first year there.

Rebounding has been addressed finally it has looked way better in the videos

People would get fatigued but I didnt see enough consequence to take the player out the game .
