Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I can pull up from mid-range with Westbrook now. It's actually a solid go-to move. I'm loving it.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

You are probably right. I spent the majority of last night trying to get a feel of the movement and contols on offense and I definitely don't have them down yet. I'm just still accustom to the feel of 2k16 which is much different. It probably didn't help that I was half asleep while playing and wasn't really using smart strategy.

Do you have any tips or hints for the dribble stick and performing size ups? It was tough for me to get a feel of the controls in this area. At times I felt like I was getting a grip of the dribbling and then others times I felt like I was either getting lucky or just completely lost out there.

Check this for some dribble and break down tips, and use that thread in general to ask questions on how to do stuff.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Your impression will depend on what you're playing and style of play. I'm playing 5 on 5 against the CPU and the defensive reaction time is slow, players are very slow to change directions. This is bad because I'm used to switching and finessing my defenders all over the court but now guys are getting beat and there's no way to recover. The CPU is making ridiculous contested shots as well which is not sim at all. It's a weird mixture of more realistic player movement and animations but with less realistic shot making and less player control. When Vucecic is swishing turnaround jumpers in Drummond's chest, something ain't right.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

the different art style seems to be a step back at first.

not bad but not the step up graphically that I thought we would see


after playing multiple games most look decent its primarily the skinny body type players that look ""cartoony"" and out of place

Update your game (reboot or head back to the main menu if you have the 'Update Available' box blocking your screen) and let me know if you are still having issues turboing.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Because I been lied to before. They said it was there last year and it wasn't, and the year before that. So do me favor, stop quoting me unless you have PROOF. I'm not just take gonna take your word for it or some blog can you comprehend that?

Well then you are ignoring facts as its been stated that it is a feature strictly for my career that is unlocked at some point. The blogs* even went as far as to describe how the feature works, explaining that you can choose between two jump shots for the top of your player with the ability to blend the two (for example 70% Curry, 30% Kobe). You then also get to choose the base of your jumpshot. If 2k is lying then that is quite an elaborate lie to make up just to deceive fans.

I could be mistaken but I don't remember any developers saying it was in the game last year, unless they misspoke and meant that you are able to choose from a variety of jump shots for your my player, some of which aren't specific to certain superstars. The actual create a jumpshot feature has been missing since next gen started in the developers haven't been secret about it.

*I think this was in a comment section for one of the blogs not the actual blog but it was one of the 2k developers, probably Mike wang/Beluba, who described how this feature worked.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I can see the layup up meter being very controversial inclusion.

Sometimes you can't see the meter sometimes, sometimes you think your guy is going for a dunk and instead goes for a layup.

The "SKILL" is not in pressing a button and releasing it, you can train animals to do that at the right time. The SKILL comes from reading the defense , getting by your man, calling and making the right play, taking advantage of mismatches etc...




I like to play with out meters so i can just watch the basketball and not meters. I going to go into practice and see if the geen/near green jump shot releases is still at the top of the jump for players.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I'll put it like this . . .

This is the first year of 2K where playing against Demarcus Cousins has actually felt like playing against Demarcus Cousins. I'm on Superstar difficulty, everything else is default, I'm the Blazers against CPU Kings. It's only the first quarter and he's had some crazy possessions where he's getting multiple put backs on his own missed shots. He just totally shook me out of my shoes in the post with a four or five head fake shimmy and I totally jumped (with Festus Ezeli) the wrong way and Cousins buried the open footer.

Damian Lillard also feels great, the space you can generate at the top of the key with his patented in-and-out hesitation dribble and the defenses respect of the drive is crazy.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

So far so good!

Really came here to say I hope they add the signature dunk packages from myplayer into edit player. Will say im a big fan of the simple hotzone edit function!

But sadly, not all the options available for myPlayer are in edit mode(yet)

Also like how a very select few have the new HoF badges
Steph-hof limitless
Drummond-hof putbacks
Kyrie-hof anklebreakers
Lebron-hof chasedown
Cp3- hof pnr maestro
DJ-hof pnr roller

Even classic VC has hof posterizer

Haha, then theres MJ with a minimum of 6 hof badges

I think it's just difficult for people right now because we never had to worry about it in the past. It might not be bad once people get use to the timing as well as learn the new animations. I've had so mixed success with it. There were instances where my timing was off and I still made layups. I remember an and one in particular with Lebron where my timing was definitely off but he still finish I'm assuming because of his rating.

There is also the option to shut off the meter, so it doesn't display, and turn shooting to field goal% instead of user timing. This should be great for offline players that aren't into the timing but I don't think this is an option for online games.
