Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Still in the game, and exactly what you should use to defend under the rim because I agree its tough to defend under there without fouling.

RS up = hands straight up

I've tried RS up over and over again (because that' what it was last year), and nothing.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

my cpu teammates playing like middle schoolers on defense, constantly losing their man and giving up wide open shots

cpu scoring 120+/game and many of those are due to my cpu players getting lost and no where close to their man.

defense needs a huge tweak imo

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

This game is everything 16 was and then some extra polish.. The gameplay is great and taking out the 6 dribble animations was a very smart move.. I hope they don't ever go back to that style of control cuz now you can separate the skilled players from the noobs..

Defensively tho I'm making adjustments during the game and they don't seem to be working I turned ACE off and everything.. Also I'm adjusting the sliders anyway but the 3pt shooting out of the box is OD.. I played against the thunder and Oladipo was hitting contested 3s off the pick & roll like he was Reggie Miller.. Sliders should fix that easily tho

Overall This is the greatest sports game ever.. I'll be saying that every year as long as they make each iteration better than the last..

Not liking the on-the-fly substitution menu during gameplay. It was great in 2K15, got worse in 2K16 (but still ok), and now it's just terrible this year IMO.

Also when switching defensive players using the icons the circle button causes you to attempt a charge for like a half a second which allows the cpu to blow by you.. I've lost games cuz of this

Im pretty sure its contexual...so you wont run around with uour arms up anymore ...but when a player is coming at you, or you're contesting a shot, or clogging up the lane which its also very useful for...you'll have your arms straight up

Hmm, guess I'll have to try it more in those situations.

But I wanna being able to put them straight up when I'm bodying my guy and he's going up for a shot. We were able to do it last year I know.

It's a huge part of playing defense and needs to be put back in.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Defense is non existent. Impossible to stay in front of your man with how terrible the players slide laterally... its pathetic... people are saying fluid gameplay? NOT EVEN CLOSE to fluid... it's all over the place...no control at all.

Over hyped 2k yet again. Same ole bad game. Thank god fifa comes out next week.

Completely agree with you. I am actually quite surprised with the amount of positive impressions (arguably around 95 % or so) this game is getting on this sub. I am still yet to see the "smoothness and fluidity" of the game as everyone describes it, because all I see is an atrocious on-ball defense (no where close to the one in 2K16) and over-saturation of 3's. I like what they did with the dribbling and especially with the fouls, but the virtually non-existing defense makes it very hard for me to like the game, or to even play the game anymore for that matter.

If this doesn't get fixed by a patch from 2k, I might quit the game for good this year, because, honestly, what is the point in playing a game that doesn't at all fulfill its primary goal, i.e. to entertain the player. Ain't nobody got time for that.

What the...

Does it just happen once every so often? I sometimes get an animation where the defender I'm controlling automatically sticks one hand up contesting a shot (that I have no control of).

I literally just played a full game trying this, and I couldn't do it.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

First off, this is easily the best basketball/sports title I've ever played. That's basically all i play, so that says alot. My only question/concern really is , out of all the people who have a 4k/hdr tv, are you underwhelmed by the hdr usage? I'M not saying that the game looks BAD, I guess overall, I'm just surprised that hdr doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I thought the lighting would blow me away, and it's not as "revolutionary" as i expected. Anyone else?

The passing needs fixed badly. Too many terrible passes being made..

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Love the game. Haven't played it a whole lot, but here's my 3 gripes so far.

Blurry rims and backboard. Seriously feel like I'm playing 2k in instant replay mode, with depth of field on.

Shot clock is very quite, have had too many violations. This one's not too big a deal, I'll get over it.

Still no way to defend in the post without fouling. I've noticed a lot more fouls this year, and that's a good thing, but I want more control. I can literally put my controller down and my defender will still foul the post player. I have the automatic shot contest off, but I don't know how much that affects things.
