re: NBA 2K17 Pre-Release Impressions Thread
that's weird.. in some editions 2k removed common features without any reason, like couch co-op in MyLeague in 2k14.. hope this is the only one.
I have a question for you: which is your impression on in arena sounds?
Based on that I will decide if start a season with an expansion team or an original one (I'm a fanatic of realistic game sounds, then my 2k17 hype fallen a bit after arena sounds trailer..)Comment

Just in practice mode right now, and I really wish you can change the pro stick so you can just shoot with it without bonus. I always pull the stick different ways to shoot and now that doesn't work at all.Comment

re: NBA 2K17 Pre-Release Impressions Thread
That's the main issue I am finding also. I am too used to shoot camera relative, moving the stick as if it were the player arms shooting, ATM I can not stand this 'absolute' shoot and I don't want to shoot with a button, so it would be great if we would have the ability to keep shooting with the stick in any direction like if it were the button (no boost no penalty either)...
Other than that I will give my impressions when I will have more playing time, but let's say, so far, so good... ;-)Last edited by Guard-ian; 09-15-2016, 10:02 AM.Ignorance is Bliss...Comment

Also what I've realized is when you go past your defender and drive into the lane 9/10 time you will get fouled, unless there is an elite shot blocker waiting for you.
Remember in 2k16 if you go past your defender your point guard will block you from behind most of the time.Comment

I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.
I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

Haven't played yet, but this is my main concern. Thanks for the impressions. I hope they can patch the old pro stick option back in.That's the main issue I am finding also. I am too used to shoot camera relative, moving the stick as if it were the player arms shooting, ATM I can not stand this 'absolute' shoot and I don't want to shoot with a button, so it would be great if we would have the ability to keep shooting with the stick in any direction like if it were the button (no boost no penalty either)...Shout out to The Watcher! Where you at bruh?Comment

re: NBA 2K17 Pre-Release Impressions Thread
I got a couple of questions:Playing the game since yesterday here in Germany and my initial impressions are very very positive.
- The main problem for me with NBA 2K games is always the responsiveness of the controls. And although they are still not perfect I think this year its pretty good overall.
- The dribbling feels great - although I have a tough time getting past any defender.
- The AI is very good, offensive and defensive wise. The spacing is the best ive seen in a 2K game.
- The shooting (which I didnt like for years) is really smooth and fun again. There are still some shots who are clunky and for me personally there should be a little more hangtime in the air - but they are fun again.
- And I really like the field goal percentages. I really feel like I am the one in control of my success(thats overall my feeling of the game). When I get an open look and I feel like I got a good release - its almost consistently going in (with the right type of player of course).
- I am a gameplay guy and dont care about all the other stuff that much - so I wished I could skip cut scens / halftime show etc. more quickly.
I know you probably havent played many games but what do you think of the FG% stats out of the box? Too hight? Just right?
Have you noticed the problem where your team mates and vice versa, are out of position on defense AFTER MADE baskets?
And also it sucks hearing you cant skip cutscenes more quickly. This is one of the things that was annoying in 2k16. Game doesnt let you quickly skip half time/post game show, timeouts etc...Comment

re: NBA 2K17 Pre-Release Impressions Thread
One thing I noticed is that the AI is definitely looking for threes in transition now, on your team and against you. I definitely have a problem with the CPU though... I'm playing hall of fame, and in different games Lebron pulled up for three from the top on a fastbreak and Chris Bosh from the wing, again for three. The players that are looking for threes over layups or pullup jumpers on a fast break definitely needs tweaking. Other than that loving it so far!
I made a sharp shooter point guard and used my preorder VC to get a maxed out three ball and midrange.Got drafted by the raptors and in my 5th game finally went off. I had 5 threes, and when I curled for the 5th one and a pick freed me up, the crowd started yelling SHOOOT, and when I let go yelled THREEE. Crowd environment is definitely wayyyy better this year.
Oh and Chris Webber and Steve Smith sound like they were reading the script in front of a class with a boner lol. Overall loving the game!Comment
