Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

The more I play the more I love this game and am able to look past some of the bugs. I was one of the few that really enjoyed NBA live last year and what's cool is 2 of the few things I thought live did better than 2k was the dribbling responsiveness and ease as well as shooting in live felt smoother. Both things 2k are doing way better in 17. When I beat a man with a dribble or drain a pull up jumper or an open 3 it's never felt better than in 17 and feels very liveish.

Also why in the hell are the steals SO EASY this year. I mean what the hell is going on here? Last years game was much more hard. I'm lost for words right now on how disappointed I am

What difficulty are you playing on? I play on a harder level and I think its much harder than last year. Also, I think this can be edited with sliders if your personal experience is different with a certain aspect of the game.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Its all about body up slider change to 0 for both and you good to go.

OK, tried that. Turned those down to 0. Lateral quickness to 0. And on-ball D down to 0.

And yet D. Rose (CPU) still knows where Kyrie Irving (my controlled player) is going before he does. It's like past Madden DB/WR play.

If those things are all turned to 0, it shouldn't be hard at all to drive on the CPU.

This needs a patch. The sliders just do not work.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Also getting annoyed with the CPU team playing like a bunch of chuckers.

Barely any offense ran. If you aren't right on the guy, they're jacking it. Fade away 3's etc. All they need is a little seperation and they're launching it.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I dont understand how the reviews and magazines give 2k17 a 9-9.5 quoting it as the best basketball game ever this has honestly been the worst 2k i have ever played the new dribble moves are a good addition and thats about all i can say on offense.The team put no time into creating a player or adding tattoos, the attribute caps are the dumbest idea i have seen whoever thought of that should be fired. I understabnd they want players to be different but how can you limit a player to one play style when the best players in the leauge excel at multiple styles of play. The assistant coach is completely oblivious to the game in front of him the man will say the "im fiiiiine with our defense" yet the cpu just went on a 10-0 run off of wide open shots through broken defense, why is the assistant coach even speaking. The on the fly menus are a terrible addition they should go back to 2k16 menus, the defensive AI makes the game completely unplayable a 3rd grader has better defense than these NBA players, the cpu AI is bad as well i see few players actually trying to create a shot they just go off the broken defensive AI which always leads to an uncontested shot. In mycareer your teammates have no brain and fully rely on you to score every point unless you give them a wide open shot most likely to be missed. This game is unplayable for me until the help defense cheese gets fixed and the AI is smarter i dont think a patch or slider set can fix this and it may need to come next year sadly. Overall 2k finessed alot of people this year smh

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Few more issues that can hopefully be patched.

- Ball bouncing over backboard way too often.

- Your player always stepping out of bounds near the baseline when trying to pull of dribble move.

- Your player losing his dribble too often when getting bumped.

- Give quick ball-handlers more explosiveness. The accelerations slider does nothing.

- The animation where your guy is stripped of the ball along the baseline and the ball goes out of bounds. Happens too often IMO.

- Once again, it takes forever to inbound the ball after your opponent makes a basket. Whether its the ref holding you up, or your player taking forever to pass it in.

- Still too many times when you go for a block, but your guy just stands there, or jumps a second later.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Last year, the triangle button (PS4) would execute a high arching pass which helped get the ball over defenders. It worked nice when getting the ball to your guy posting up. This year, the pass doesn't have that same arch.

Not sure why they changed that. Too many passes get intercepted by the defense now.

edit- Just realized that button is for a skip pass now. They completely took that pass out from last where you can lob passes over defenders head. Geeze.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I'm not sure i like the way this game is translating difficulty. Too much of this kinda stuff starts happening when the 3rd quarter begins.

Bad pass by me but please explain how Ibaka saves this ball.

This just killed the game for me. I really don't see a point in playing it now. The fact that the only time i see this happen is when the CPU is trying to make a run.

Can I ask what game level your playing on?

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

something happens during the 3rd qt and 4qt with the AI. They always seem to get way better. This game pisses me off because almost all players with a decent 3pt shot acts like Curry and just pulls up for 3 with so much time on the clock, and it's automatic for the CPU most times while I brick those same shots. Its like when they made the game all they did was test the game by playing with GSW. Know reason for every team to play like GSW when 3rd and 4qt hits and then making your teammates start playing dumb. The AI also doesn't get punished for having low stamina they still play Godly and hitting 3's. Also the user stamina needs fixed they are not recovering fast enough.


*EDIT* game is so glitchy...I some how got Terry Rozier playing for the Wolves when Dunn whet down from an injury. He's still wearing a Boston Jersey and I can play offense with him but on defense he'll try to stand under the rim and not play D.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Still really enjoying it. I still am seeing a ton of variety as I've started to up the tempo and really get used to it. This game responds differently depending on what pace you play. Seeing more quirky stuff at high speeds but i like the variety. Yeah there are weird physics stuff. I also get the shooting stuff. It's weird if you pull off a special move they will hit a shot but miss if you are just wide open and take an easy shot. I like realistic percentages and shots do go in though. I still hope 2k doesn't mess it up and make it too easy. I'm seeing a lot of variety of stuff happen and I like that. I'll take that any day and something new over playing the same game every year. Tons of new animations. Saw my first double injury. Rose was carried off and Isaiah twisted his ankle but returned. I was wondering why he wasnt in the game down the stretch but he returned with a minute left and had a sprained ankle. Big jump from past years and starting to look like those trailers they had 2 years ago during actual gameplay.

If i slow the pace down I see even more realistic play and variety. If you really push the tempo and try to just beat on the AI this is where these issues occur. I just played a game like that and it was still loads of fun and very realistic I feel like. Players miss layups sometimes. It happens. Beat the knicks by 7. Yeah some shots didnt go in i thought should have. And I missed one layup. So what. It happens.

The one thing I am getting tired of is not seeing Brad Stevens at all except at halftime during interviews sometimes. If the coaches were real that would be one thing. The assistant coaches is kind of annoying. I like the idea of it for sure but i wish they were the real coaches.

Most of the issues i see are graphical. There is weird morphing that happens at times. It's fine it's just missing the graphics like the graphic is not there. The game doesnt seem completely finished. It's new at least. But probably the most unpolished 2k game in a while. I just hope they dont fix it to the point where every shot goes in that should according to some people. More find a way where it's just more realistic.

STatistically and gameplay wise I'm seeing the most realistic 2k game to date. I actually get to teh line and miss free throws.

Game I just played the knicks shot 37 percent. I shot 44 percent. 33 percent from 3. 10/14 from the line 71 percent. they were 5 for 7. 71 percent. 2/12 from 3. I was 4/12. both 22 points in the paint. 52 -45 in 6 minute qaurters. I had 43 shots put up. That's pretty realistic. I like that teams actually miss shots. everything else was pretty close. 15 bench points each. 10 offensive boards each. i had more defensive boards because they shot worse. they had 6 steals. i had 4. 15 assists each. they had 7 blocks. i had 2. they had 5 turnovers i had 9. 8 team fouls each. i had more free throws because they started fouling at the end.

They had 52 shots but it was a fast paced game like iwas saying. Percentages were also down because of it. I've had games that are different where percentages are up. It depends on how you play.

The Knicks shot 37 percent and were 2/12 from 3. I was swarming them on defense with Crowder, BRadley, Isaiah and Smart and Brown. They did not shoot well.

Yeah Curry is hard to stop. But you need good defenders. That's why the celtics are going to beat them this year.

Good find.

This will make entry passes a bit more screwy.

Why couldn't they make the new jump pass the skip pass?

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Game 2 for the night really up tempo'd it. Was leading the mavs by 10 throughout but their d really clamped down in the 4th quarter. Lost by 2. 60-58. I shot 56 percent. They shot 51 percent 5/15 from 3. 9/12 from the line. I was 12/13 from the line. about 10 fast break points each. I was 0-6 from 3 and was really banging in the paint. 42 of my points came there. 28 of theirs did. 27 bench points for me as they couldnt handle marcus smart, brown and jerebko. 7 steals a piece. 22 defensive boards for me. 15 for them. I had 4 offensive and they had 3. 7 steals a piece. I had 11 turnovers to their 7.

I love this game. I love how players play like their real life selves. Isaiah I'm getting teh hang of him and he looks so real. I'm actually able to pull off crazy dribble just like him. Players are jumping around on inbounds at the end of the game. They go to the coach cam and it is carlisle this time giving his team a pep talk. I see new stuff every game. I think help defense is fine. Sometimes they help sometiems guys get beat. It's so different than past years. This game was basically the same for years where they got the AI so good there was a lack of variety. I see so much stuff where the animations and intelligence of players is life like. I beat them down the court really pushing the tempo and they were pushing it throwing long passes trying to beat me the other way. It was really cool. Totally different game than the last one. So much fun. Haven't seen anything overly wonky. I like the balls physics. I think it bounced high off the rim once this game. Bradley was hitting shots. I just wasn't shooting 3's this game I was able to use my size and speed to get inside against the mavericks. Bogut was slow getting back but was beating me down the other end and I was exploiting that but they were doing the same to me.

It really slowed down in the 4th. I ended up with only 41 shots in 6 minute quarters. They had 45 shots. Still pretty realistic for 6 minute quarters. Isaiah had 13 and 5. Most of my damage was done with Smart and KO off the bench. Their guards could not deal with Smarts size and KO's speed. I was exploiting matchups and it was working really well. They just clamped down in the 4th quarter.

I love how Isaiah can pull of his moves and get in the lane and draw fouls and hit shots with contact like he does in real life. This game is something else. I even stole an inbounds pass and drew up a play at the end and had a chance to win but i was so surprised there was an actual play called I didn't know what to do. I ended up running around with Isaiah trying to follow the play but messed it up.

there were some beautiful plays this game too. Crowder anticipating passes like he does and swallowing guys up. I've wanted this stuff in games forever. I made a post a while back that I wanted to see defense like that. It's there. It was awesome. This is not a video game anymore. Listening to Doris Burke talk about how lucky she is. There is so much in this game. Even the highlight packages of players after games change if you watch them. They show different highlights the more you watch. Crowders steals are crazy how the AI does that. He plays just like him. Some games I've seen him hit 3's. Other games he's ice cold. Same with Marcus. Crowder was driving the lane this game. Marcus has been ice cold for me but was hot this game. The put Barea on him at one point and I saw it and just muscled him. I love the ball physics. Passes get tipped and fumbled and caught and put in. Also the ball will sit on the rim and roll in and bounce around. You can even do that play where marcus steals it the ball goes into the backcourt and he dives for it I bet. I havent done it yet but close. This game is that close to that kind of realism. I want to see it where he does the cobra too.

This is the type of game I've wanted for so long. Mike Wang you are good. Hats off to 2k and the community and anyone who has worked on this for this. I was getting worried this game was becoming stagnant. Can't wait for mafia III. Where other developers are stagnant 2k is one of the best companies around.
