Re: Get a Head Start on Your NBA 2K17 MyCAREER on September 9 with The Prelude

If you're talking about Sunset, it's mainly because a lot of Park players seem to be afraid of the 4v4 court (same as 5v5 in 2k14). People can give as many excuses as they want, but it boils down to the fact that they can't maneuver as freely and superspam like they can on 2v2 and 3v3 courts, so they don't want to play on courts with more people.

At least, that's what I've seen.

This. Love 4s. Good team ball kills in 4s. The people that get rotation and spacing become untouchable because they know what holes to exploit. Also, 50% of my putback dunks are 4s or pro am. Nothing feels better than soaring through a crowd and punching that thing back through the rim.

So hard to get a game though.

Cheesers are terrified of the 4s.

I'm curious as to why they didn't show weight. It's clearly there in the trailer on the task/menu bar at the top but they only showed wingspan and height.

My thinking.

1. Weight can change body shapes, as we've been asking and they want to keep that quiet for revealing in a dev diary late next week.

2. It's the exact same as every year and they can't be bothered with the backlash.

...I don't want to make a role player, but in reality every person you listed has a glaring weakness. Does the fact that they are bad in 1 or 2 areas make them a role player?

Nope. I agree you should be able to make anything you want, but not for pro-am or park. I run a 6'6 inside SG. Am bad at post play, alright at rebounds, and my 3's are suspect.

Technically, that makes me a role player. But, It's how you use the guy that matters. I use the rebounding I upped to crash hard when running the 2. I take only wide open or "Have to shoot" 3's and end up at 30 to 50% from the floor. I can still outsmart guys in the pist, I just have to be careful.

So yeah, You can probably make harden, but he's probably going to suck defensively like he does in real life. You might be able to make Kyrie, but Kyrie isn't good at everything, he's good at a few things, average at others. Untill last year, Kawhi had a suspect jumpshot. LeBron is arguably the best player on the planet, and I'd hand him a 17 foot jumper all day because it's suspect. Even Micheal Jordan wasn't the best 3pt shooter. Everyone has a weakness. Weaknesses do not make you a role player. There's a difference

The only thing that doesn't convince me of these "archetypes" is that... I wanna make a D and 3 SF (aka one on the most common playstyles for a SF in the NBA). And I'm not talking Kawhi, my 2K16 MyPlayer is modeled after Iguodala, I'd gladly settle for a Crowder or DeMarre kind of player, but with only 7 ticks in 3pt shooting it looks like I'm gonna be Sefolosha.

Tony Allen is fine but Danny Green? Overpowered!

My first impression is they don't have much change except the play styles.

Just changing the animation when selecting your height and wingspan doesn't mean it's new. We indeed had more on 2K16, like body length and shoulder width.

For the play styles of a SF, I see there is no longer an All-Around style like it used to be. If there are going to be hard caps for attributes, I don't like that.

No hype for me to be honest. College play is ok but the NBA career seems to be the same.

That's pretty cool. I like how the attributes are tied to the body shapes

It's Illinois. It's their logo in the video.

This man, I'm so hyped.

I would love to see this. Only thing I'm worried about is for the pro am tournament this style will never get you to the top of the rankings which I hate. Hopefully they changed this.

Well Crowder only shot 33% from 3, Iguodala only shot 35%, while Carroll shot 39%.

The league average was 35% from 3 last year, so even with a 7, you might be able to hit that average 3pt shooting ability due to right stick, skill, bronze badges, being hot, shot selection, etc.

Agreed, I wish it was more like a ladder system, with measures in place to prevent rigging the system.

This, don't take 5 poor shots from 3 make sure your shot selection is good and you can make 1-2 a game.

Maybe I was wrong using Sefolosha as the bad example since he's rated at 76 on st3, but what I meant is that all those players are rated in the high 70s (and Carroll has over 80 - I chose not to use Tony Allen as the bad example since he ended the year at a 78 rating) and I'm not sure a Lockdown SF can get to - let's say - 75 with only 7 bars.

And I don't wanna shoot 60% from 3, I'm ok with 35-ish in the grand scheme of things, as long as I can trust an open spot up 3... which - at least for me - required around 75 st3 in 2K16.
