Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

dunking just feels weak in this game i don't know

it's like 98 percent triggered animation that's exactly how it feels i have dunked on guys but it never got me hype cuz it jus feels weak exception being maybe one or two alley oops i've done that the momentum felt right

it'd be dope to have more control instead of just holding down the analog for 5 seconds while an animation plays out i wanna be able to like hit one button to start the jump and then have to hit another to hammer it down

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Can I just say how much I am loving the new "sounds" they have implemented in this game...

All I do is play my season every year as I don't mess with My Park or creating a player, etc, etc...I like my game to be JUST like the NBA season.

All off the new personalized stadium sounds (nets, horns, chants, dribbles, etc, etc...)...I truly hope they keep adding onto this and these are some things I would like to see in the next installments:

1 - Rim sounds (the dunks sound sometimes like a ball going through an empty trash can) - the ball bouncing off of the rim and the dunk sounds need to sound like they do on TV

2 - Personalized PA announcers: The way they announce the players after made buckets can be better personalized I feel.

I know I may be nit-picking, but it'd be really cool for the team to keep adding on to what they've started...it really (for me) adds to the broadcast and gets so much closer to emmulating an actual TV broadcast which I love.

Keep doing what you're doing 2K...

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I think this game is pretty good with some slider tweaks. I wasn't really enjoying it until a little while ago. I downloaded Eggie25's latest sliders and i'm really starting to enjoy the game. Hopefully it stays that way. Before, the game was just frustrating and arcade like in my opinion.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I just want to say that it is ridiculous how the VC sale ads are plastered everywhere DURING the game you are playing. I played all 82 of the MyLeague I'm in, now just starting the playoffs, so I have a lot (probably too much) time committed to this season. And 100% of the time during the 1st playoff game the press/announcer desk is showing a frigging VC ad. Just to make it even worse, though, the halftime show desk is also showing a VC ad during the entire segment. Again, this is all taking place in a playoff game. Way to kill the experience 2K! Just extremely obnoxious and definitely seriously hurts the immersion.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I don't know why it took me long but I just reloaded 2K16 and wiped out 17 for good. I am back to having fun again. What a difference in game play.

Not sure what happened with the development on this one, but I sure hope 2K18 makes some great strides from any other version to date. The paying customers deserve that much.

There is a huge gameplay issue with 2k17

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I've been told I'm crazy in the past, but I'm convinced the gameplay is tuned slightly different for NBA Today vs. MyLeague. I double checked that my sliders were the same, but it just feels different.

Controls just seem more responsive in NBA Today to me. It's as if defensive assist is on for MyLeague games, but off in NBA Today. I'm sure I'm nuts, but I come back to this every time I boot up a game in NBA Today.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Since NBA 2k15, 2k games had only been interested in making more and more money off of the users. They focus more on the aspects of the game that brings them more money like clothes and park animations, and attribute boosts. I've been playing MC since 2k11 and the game was true to and respected the ratings until they started selling "rating boosts". Now without boosts the player rating are not reliable.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I'm trying to figure out why you guys made it so hard to guard all 3 point shooting archetypes but you made it so easy to defend against the slashers. I'm I'm a 95 slasher with 99 standing layup, 94 standing dunk, 96 driving dunk 96 contact dunk, 82 ball control, 88 vert. You cannot tell me that I should be getting my dunks blocked by point guards in the park. It's bad enough that you guys forced me to play the park so I can get my MP rating up, which was an incompetent decision if you ask me, and all of my hard work on MP gets negated in the park. Since when does playing street ball transfer to the NBA????? This is not realistic and not a simulation of the NBA.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Another thing I can't earn upgrades any more but the practices are still available. What's the point? On top of all that the game is so unrealistic that my three point rating is under 30 but the game put my slasher in the 3 point contest

I think 2k needs to let us create our own Jersey and court in the online leagues

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I am a Slasher.

A STRETCH BIG, on the park, with a 50 Block rating, SNATCHED MY DUNK ATTEMPT, from the front, on a cockback tomohawk. How you ask? Why, by putting his arm through my body as if I were made of water of course, in typical 2k fashion.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I am officially never buying another 2k basketball game.

This game would be better served as a coaster, than it would be an actual representation of basketball.

This game is one long drawn out animation warp that prevents the user from having any real control over anyone on the floor. Try to dribble forward in a straight line and the player takes some weird backward step hesitation that forces you into a back court violation. Try to dribble past a defender and you get warped into a defenders force field that initiates some form of contact that shouldn't have even occurred.

Fast breaks? What is a fast break in this game? Unless you have a half court lead, the defender will somehow out run you every time, or the game will ensure that when you pass to the lead offensive player, that some animation will trigger to where he can't run and catch the ball at the same time. Or if he does, he will that have to stop and gather himself to dribble.

Oh and a player has a step on you on a cut to the basket before he gets the ball? Good luck recovering with a defender. If you switch to any player remotely near the play, you will all of a sudden be thrown into a pit of molasses and somehow can't even muster the strength to turn around and run to defend.

Want to take a jump shot? Don't do it with anyone within 5 feet of you, or you will be forced into an animation that sends the jump shot way off track.

Passing mechanics are terrible. Balls are floaty, and errant passes happen far too frequently. Tried to make a pass to the top of the key from the wing with Isiah Thomas and he threw it directly into the hands of the defender. And again, animations prevent the user from ever making quick decisions with the ball.

I'm not sure how it got to this point, but the whole physics, player movement engine needs to be scrapped entirely. I don't think I have ever played a game where so little control is given to the player playing.
