NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

U can't believe everything these companies tell u man. Just like how they claimed to have did body scans last year, and how they claimed to do all this traveling for authentic arena sounds this year. Or how all these fake gamers was on you tube hyping up the game prior to release, but they really where 2k pawns being told what to say; straight acting with the fake slang and all. Wang could be a dev, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was just their PR guy and they hired new dev's every so often. The game just don't look like the work of the same dev IMO.

Having met Mike on multiple occasions (and at multiple studios), I can confirm he's real. Most of what you're saying here comes from a place of ignorance about game development, and you should probably pull on the hand brake.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I have thought about this a lot. I don't think the devs have been the same from year to year to year. I think guys like Mike Wang are just really PR guy's posing as devs, and not the real devs. Devs are artist, but in a program form. And like an artist, they have their signature styles. This game changes to much for it to have been the same guy(wang). I don't see how u go from something great to something near trash status. This is not the work of the same dev IMO.

This is one of the worst comments I have ever read on here in 13+ years lol...
Mike has done huge work for this series and that is just disrespectful.. Not only that he has been hugely involved in being forthright and interacting with this community over the years... You may not agree with the way everything is handled at 2K and im sure mike doesn't always but that is just business. Year in year out these guys bust their *** so we can play this game man, you should check yourself.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Wouldn't left stick move your guy tho? Or do you also have to hold left trigger?

LS away from offensive player and triangle gives you that :

Looks great, is very responsive and shoudn't give you fouls.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

You know how I know this game is great? The people who used cheese to win in previous years are complaining about it hard this year. Same thing happened in Madden. This is by far the best 2k to date.

Thanks man. But the defender jumped there. I'm talking standing still with arm straight up.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I would guess RS away from the offensive player. Or did you try that already ? I'am not getting that many fouls when using RS around the rim. Is that your issue ?

That doesn't work either.

Whenever I control a defender in the post, the computer decides when to stick a hand or two up...or contest a shot. It's frustrating. Or worse, they go into that animation where they corral and foul the guy with the ball.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Hey all,

I don't have the game yet as I'll pick it up this week, but from all the photos/videos I am seeing, the new player models seem to have that "Nba Live" look to them...

They look to be a bit on the leaner-side of things.

I never had any problems with their previous graphical installments as I feel as though they've improved from year-to-year (minus the sweat), but I am hoping since they adopted some of the Live crew, they aren't moving toward that direction. If it ain't broke (graphically), they don't need to completely revamp everything...gosh, I hope not.

I guess I'll see this week...

Are you on manual contest ? Also there is reaching associated to the right stick so when the offensive player faces up it's possible you reach by accident. I will mess around with it.

I don't use anything else in the paint unless I have a clear block because the refs whistle is quick this year to say the least, lol

This is blowing my mind. So any time you press up on the RS, your guy will put his hands up? Is this offline play now? Not that it should matter.

I don't know what the deal is then.

This is Play Now Online.

Works the same offline for me though....just a little different from last year...
