This is Play Now Online.

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

I guess I'll have to mess around with it more. Thanks for the vids.

Just tried. You have to hold LT and do it.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

The more i play this game the more i'm really starting to dislike it. I'm having all kinds of trouble playing D. Not so much on ball, but team D.

The CPU is making wayyyyy too many mistakes giving up wide open layups and 3's, things the user often has no control over. A player grazes a screen and gets taken completely out of the play. It's complete nonsense and game breaking for me. It's just not realistic to make those big of mistakes on court.

Lakers are shooting 57 percent right now against me. I'm playing good D then boom! Someone gets lost and gives up a 3 or a layup. Down 22 right now and it feels like i had nothing to do with it

And these dribble handoffs are just humming this year.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I am having one unlucky year with NBA 2k. After having non stop issues trying to get 2 expansion teams in my gm I gave up and decided to just add one. Start at the off season and get thru all the different events which were a blast BTW. After a good 2 hours I'm almost ready to move onto my first season but 1 last thing to do. Andrew Wiggins needs to be traded for. I sell the farm for him but whatever he's my favorite player. Then I go into roster to see him in my fancy uniform I made and he's gone. Go into player search and he's not found. Anyone else experience this? Am I missing something or is he really just gone? Man if I have to start again I may cry. I've put in easily 20 hours of this game and haven't even played a full game.

Weird, I messed around for quite a bit with expansion the other night and didn't run into anything like this when moving players around. That's a total bummer though.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

So far so good for me. I played the opening game to my Blazers MyGM and although I lost against the Suns, I actually enjoyed it. Both teams left the floodgates open on defense, but the game as a whole flowed smoothly.

So much to look forward to in regards to MyGM...


I wasn't overly sold on the shotstick when I first read about it but the results - both negative and positive - are very satifying. The amount of control we now have of the ball-handler is nice although nothing too new if you played alot of Live 10.

Lighting has improved and is one of the many improvements i've cried for over the years. Menu's are clean and easy to navigate; in-game overlays (play-calling) on the other hand, have been made complicated for no apparent reason.

The soundtrack is decent enough although a couple of tracks have already been permanently muted.

It's been a really positive experience so far but my concerns echo some of what's already been said:

- quiet crowds
- quiet shotclock
- some graphical downgrades
- etc, etc...

Can't wait to restart MyGM and really put some time into the mode.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Here's the other thing happening to me. If I try and add two expansion teams I get unable to save errors or if it does work the game jumbles all the custom stuff up. In the first photos are what I made and in the third is what happens. My scorers table images are gone. My logos changed to Seattle and my uniforms are a mix of what I made and Seattle. Anyone else having trouble with more than one created team? I'm on Xbox one

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I do like the game quite a bit. The control feels awesome, and the responsiveness of the control is different from any type of 2k before this particular one.

I almost feel like the default game is pretty sim this year. Need to make coaching adjustments during the timeout, for sure though, otherwise the CPU will eventually break your defense.

I think the new shooting mechanic is a nice change of pace for people like me who struggled with timing the jumper by eyeballing it. And it was worse when the feedback would flat out lie. The dribbling I really struggled with at first, but letting go of the RT stick changed it all. I was a turbo junkie and did not even know it!

The cons? I despise the new in game quick menus. God freaking awful. Its ok for changing sets quick, but subbing through the quick menu is a pain in the ***. Why even change that at all? Oh, and the time out screen is garbage as well. I just pause the game, no point in bothering with that screen.

I have not seen a ton of the weird stuff yet. I should mention that I am strictly a Play Now CPU and MyLeague/MyGM player.I have seen the weird pick animation where you get stuck on a player getting sucked off the court. Not fun.

Overall, its a 9/10. Fun, feels different. Not perfect.

Make sure you out that in the B&G thread if you haven't already Cujo

Whats up OSU!

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

The good news is I figured out how to upload teams to the share. Just testing now but it seems like it works if you add expansion teams this way.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

More major issues and inexcusable problems

On ball defense doesnt exist.
Switching player to player is sooo unresponsive and slow. One guy just flat stops because you're trying to toggle between guys.
Very very very slow overhead passes.
Random passes to guys 50 feet away still happen.
Scoreboard will already show the correct score but still does the animation and changes to the same score (example you have 32 and hit a 3 for 35. Itll change immediately to 35 but then do the transition animation from 35 to 35. Not major but give me a break)
I was down 3 at home 40 seconds left. Cheerleaders dancing. Mascot on stilts. Awesome right? No. Crowd was dead silent. All sitting down. No noise at all.
I press Y to jump and it takes the player 7 seconds to perform the animation and have control of him again.
Trying to steal on the run doesnt exist. You know 2k players can swipe the ball as they are running. The player completely stops and peforms some rapey slash at their crotch. Not only does it never result in a steal but it also takes you out of the play. Terrible especially on fastbreaks.

The game is a mess... some of you will say oh wait for the patch...why the FVCK should we pay $60 to not be able to play the real game for months waiting for a patch?

2k doesnt give a ****...their marketing wins every year. They improve NOTHING.

What did i just read

NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

In a nutshell I am sure we will get used to the UI but why waste the time and money to change that. It worked fine and basically gets hard coded in our brains after so many hours. The timeout menu and on fly subs are what I can only describe as jarring. I really don't like it. Whoever made the decision to spend the budget on that overhaul should get some negative marks. Unnecessary.

Good:
Jump shot seem quicker and more fluid.

Dribbling will be great once we get the hang of it.

Oops seem better.

Gameplay in general seems like it will be a improvement

Bad:
Bugs. Lots of little bugs.

Players not subbing on a TO. Really?

Quicksim gone from in game menu.

Default CPU shooting seems a hit high.

Bugs in expansion stuff.

POE gone from teams.



All in all I chalk most of my issues to being so hard wired into 2k16, but some of the decisions to keep changing the sub/play calling/in game menu just seems like a waste of resources.

I'm pretty sure patches will clean up a lot of stuff, but it is one of the buggiest 2K games I have seen out of box.

If you do subs through the pause menu of a timeout then they work and take effect immediately.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

graphics are good but still here are the things that missing for me

for no this are some suggestion that in my opinion make the game more detailed.

In-Game.

-Full replay for every highlights.
-Towels and towel boys.
-Away fans celebrating. Put more colors on crowd it looks dead with the home team color ways only.
-Injured teamates in suite seating in the bench.
-Realistic passing animation when driving to the basket.
-Small window showing the coach being interviewed while playing in the start of the 2nd half.
-Fix the slo-mo animation when driving to the basket, specially when dunking.
-Players arguing during hard fouls.
-Players wearing random sneaker colors just like in real nba games.
-Fix the players looking the other side while inbounding.
-Fix players that are skinny.(Durant,Wiggins etc.
-Players helping team mates to get up when they fall down.
-Halftime report should replay only highlights instead of random clips and the panel discussing the play whether its a defensive or offensive plays.
-Update every Nba players hair.

My Career.

-Nba players Hair style, head shape and body type should be available for customising My Player.
-Baggy clothes should be available especially the jerseys in My Store.

peace!
