Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

it just makes shooting OP on this game and im guessing it has something to do with mypark

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

let me rephrase that what i see is a lot of bad/mediocre shooters hit 3's at a consistent basis. i cant even leave certain guys open anymore cause they will knockdown that shot as if they were klay/curry.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

This game is pure bliss for me now after all the patches. I was already in awe but now I'm a level above ecstatic when playing the game. What I love the most is how much basketball knowledge was put into the game for sim ballers to adjust and absorb. Didn't know what catch hedges and pre-rotations were before this game, now I feel like Phil Jackson on the sideline as well as a on the court player.

If you are into basketball strategy and play cheese-free ball, this game can be golden. After patches of course. I don't play the game to nitpick or look for flaws. The devs did a wonderful job at fixing most of the AI issues on game from the pass speeds to the fast break logic to the on ball defensive issues. Yea, your cpu AI teammates aren't the brightest but with enough practice on the controller, you'll figure out how to manage the entire team. No more simple off ball controlling one player swiping for steals or playing as the Center guarding the paint. The way the game forces you to adjust is awesome.

Kudos to the devs for fixing the major issues.

Anybody else having issues with the game not starting after patch 7 on the Xbox one?

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I picked up a PS4 on BF and got this game a week later...please note I've been playing on PS3 up until just a few weeks ago:

Wow, this game is great! Great atmosphere, menus, music, announcing, graphics and animations. All the bells and whistles are there!

I got the game used and was lucky enough to get one with the Dream Team code unused. Again, this game is great on the bells and whistles.

Gameplay is really good, and just short of great. This is mainly because of defense, which really feels like you don't have a lot of control over foot planting and change of direction when trying to keep up with a backcourt player.

I'm not a "My Team" or "Online" kinda guy, and this is the one area the game falls short for me. Why can't I create 6 players and take them into Blacktop Mode? Why aren't there more Blacktop Courts? Why is there no offline option for all the My Park and Pro Am stuff? I'd love to play these modes offline against the CPU AI, which I believe works pretty well.

Other than that one "complaint," I don't really have any others. There are tons of options for people to play they way they want under My GM. I just wish some of the cool online stuff was available offline.

I give it 9.0/10.0

If you like the NBA you will like this game.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Man, I was having a real good game on Superstar until the 4th. I'm starting to find ways to "patch" the lack of defense my CPU teammates have but still can't figure it out when the 4th quarter hits. Kind of leaves a sour taste when the whole game plays well then the 4th turns into a series of onslaughts from the CPU. Still going to chip at it for now as I love the game of basketball.

Get rid of the garbage turbo boosting

Get rid of the garbage spam of the steal button, their seriously needs to be bigger consequences either lower it to 6 fouls and foul out or make the penalty larger all people do is spam steal in park to get animations.. that they usually get 90 percent of the time.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

*Sigh* I say this every year...Let me start by saying I love the game (which is probably why I get so frustrated at it) buttttt it's sooooo bad sometimes Lol

Tell me if I'm in the minority here but are you guys experiencing the following:

Travels called on simple triple threat moves & pump fakes, defensive breakdowns damn near every play to the point where you feel as though you have to control everybody, players being unnecessarily out of position on defense, opposing players turboing with no consequence, opposing players reaching in being too successful or making you pick up your dribble. The list goes on and on man.

It's hard to play sim online and be successful. It makes me wanna pull my hair on when I try to play the right way and get blown out by someone whose "strategy" is pure cheese. I promise this game is a cheesers dream. When I actually do get a play to work and manage an open shot, my guy will miss only to be counter with some cheesy BS and have him make it Lol My blood pressure is high after this year's game. I can provide footage if need be...

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I really like this game offline, but online...wow this game is absolute trash. I can't believe how many times I tell myself when I'm playing "this game is so ****ing bad online" I roll my eyes almost every possession. It's so ****ing bad online

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Bought the game for 39 dollars at Walmart enjoying it more than last year's so far very polished and gameplay is improved.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Guys I am testing sliders and have released an updated set 1.03 today. Still in Beta however. Check out the slider forum to check it out Would appreciate some feedback, good or bad. Long way to go before its finalised, but early testing is promising. I have set it so some contested shots fall, even with excellent defence, just like real life. They dont fall often, but they still do.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Well, I'm late to the party, but I might as well post my impressions. I've taken a break from 2k and video games for over a year now, but i'm finally back. i skipped 2k16 (not because i didn't want it, but didn't have time for games last year).

After about a week with 2k17, i'd say it's decent - it does a lot of things well, but after taking a long break from nba2k games and coming from 2k15, the slow control responsiveness in 2k17 stands out to me. Just moving your player around feels slow and delayed. And i'm sure it's been mentioned how annoying it is to have your player forced to slow down so that the cpu defender can suction you back and stop your movement (on fast breaks and drives). you can actually see the game force your player to slow down as the defenders come near you so that they can cut you off. overall control responsiveness just feels slow. exploding out of crossovers feels delayed and sluggish (spin move input response is especially delayed, but i'm assuming that's due to the control scheme 2k has settled on these days with all of the double-taps and multi-fictionality tied into every button and stick).

People have already mentioned the various exploits and things that need to be corrected, but overall it's still a good basketball game if you can get past that stuff. i just crave the control responsiveness of previous versions, though i don't see us getting that back, so i'll live with it and appreciate what we have in 2k17.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Worst online sim in last 5 years. Right/left is absolute gold. 2k never learns. The team that works on the actual basketball is either undermanned or just clueless.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

After patch 7 i gave up on this game. kinda feel left out with all this patches and people saying true sim offline players is just a minority and not a priority for 2k as we dont bring enough money for them. i mean we spend money to buy this game so i m guessing there should be an equality there. but looking at the forum it really shows that online is more say in this game like 90% of it to be honest. i dont think devs even look at the people posting about how they want it to be accurate, realistic and so so. online players just flooded the forum with all their request and complain about online modes. it was good before
( patch 5) but they kinda ruined it. good thing i found Uncharted and Metal Gear. is this going to be the last update on this?? and if so it was fun for a couple of months. still kudos to 2k just hoping that something has to change.peace

Im with you. Its a pity devs arent focused on making the game as sim as possible. It seems they worry about pleasing the cheese ballers
