2kU is like if that cousin that kept snatching the controller out of your hand became a game mode.

Those tutorial pop ups just as you're performing a nice crossover...I wish there had been a question prior to starting the 2KU if you've played past 2K games and could disable it.

The controls feel soooooo different!! Very fluid!! I have to learn the controls all over again cause so far the "feel" of the characters are like night and day in comparison with 2k16 so far...

i' m loving the directional steals with the R stick and the rebounding.
So far shooting with the R stick is hard as hell lol, but i'll get the hang of it.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to need the freestyle mode to practice in.

Anybody know true size of prelude. It said around 15 gb at first but now that it's downloading it is saying 4.921 gbs. My internet runs off of a toaster basically so 15 gbs would take me about 2 days and some change.

its looks like the prelude is around 20 gigs total.

first i downloaded 4.9 gigs, now I am currently downloading another 15gbs

I don't understand why they're saying it's only up or down on the shot stick. I'm using different directions and it's working fine

You can only get the Excellent direction from being straight up or straight down, you can see this by the little green arrow that will show up after your shot. A non excellent one will be a blue arrow, it looks like the who to guard arrow but a bit smaller

You can still make shots by aiming it left or right but the percentage of the shot won't be as high. Maybe not by that much but still.

I have airballed and badly bricked a few shots already...direction matters for sure haha.

On a different note, this game feels completely different than 2K16. The control/responsiveness of your player is night and day and everything (especially jumpers and dibbling) is smooth. Really liking it so far. Only thing I've noticed is when you are sprinting in front of your player on the break, the defender behind sort of slows you down and bumps you from behind on occasion without a foul called.

But on the other hand I have seen plenty of foul calls that would have never been called in 2K's prior. I know Mike talked about the recognition of people getting hit on the arm was better in the gameplay blog and he ain't lyin. A few of the calls I've seen were completely organic and not canned whatsover.

I'll be back with more impressions later I'm sure.

some of these new steal animations>>>>>

Re: NBA 2K17 The Prelude Available Now on Xbox One and PlayStation 4

Steal sliders might be too high. Will need to get it down a notch in OL mode.

I've already scanned my face, waiting for 100% to see it in the game

Gotcha, yeah I'm just happy they didn't restrict it to up or down only. Depending on the situation, like position on the court etc. I like the option of still being able to use left and right. Not really affecting success so far, but obviously haven't played much yet

So this stuff is my/career or myplayer (Whatever it's called) only, yes?

Re: NBA 2K17 The Prelude Available Now on Xbox One and PlayStation 4

QQ - is right stick shot replacing button shot? or how the direction is affected with button?
I hope there won't be any difference in online gaming between "manual" and "assisted" shots eventually
