NBA 2K17 Features Improvements Across The Board, Here's 75 of Them

[RaychelSnr]

I had the chance to visit the studios at 2K this week and get an advance sneak peak of NBA 2K17. For full disclosure the trip was paid for entirely by the folks at 2K.

The first thing I want to tell you about NBA 2K17? It has nothing to do with the game itself directly, and everything to do with the people who work on this game year-round.

The wonderful folks at 2K Games, and specifically the team members I met in San Francisco on Tuesday afternoon -- Ronnie, Jeff Thompson, Erick Boenisch, Mike Wang, Ryan Peters, Chris, Czar, and many others -- are folks who are incredibly passsionate about their craft and the game they are producing. They were very welcoming and displayed a lot of that passion while describing what NBA 2K17 is bringing to consoles this year.

While I plan to dive a lot deeper into the topics I'll share below in the coming days, I wanted to at least get some of the nitty gritty out for folks to see and to begin discussing...

2K is lazy, 2K doesn't care blablabla. They come up big once again.

Now I get why that kid was saying this game is "lit" so much on the video that was leaked yesterday.

Advanced rotations--a whole new gameplan that not only allows you to slot your minutes like before, but actually when your players play those minutes and with whom those minutes are played with. Players will typically play in units. This is very deep, but can also be autoed by asking for coach recommendations.

This is an absolute ****ing gamechanger if it works right. For example, the Wizards always play John Wall, the entire first and third quarter and sit him for the first 4-6 minutes of the second and fourth.

It was impossible to replicate that in 2k16. Now it seems possible.

Can you please provide more information on contraction. What happens to the players on contracted teams? Do they become free agents or do they disappear?

Big time.

"Expansion and game scheduling provided a challenge, but it's fully and accurately implemented--the game still respects back-to-back games for teams".

I hope this is saying progressive fatigue is more of a thing this year.

The changes to sound seem great but disappointed there is nothing about the crowd. That was one of the biggest non-gameplay related issues with last year's game.

Custom jumpshots! YES!

And I will be deeply disappointed if they did all that sound recording and didn't get nets. They had to. I also bet they got that awesome thing the Mavs arena does where they have a mic on the rim to really amplify all-net shots or bricks too, I suppose.

Expansion teams!? Dynamic rule changes!? Retired jerseys!? What sorcery is this?... And when can I get my hands on it?
