Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

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



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

This one is annoying. I actually have to look at the clock now because I can't hear the final countdown

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

See, I knew something seemed off with the backboards/rims. I mentioned it in another thread.

I play in broadcast cam, and the rim especially just doesn't seem crisp. I popped in 2K16 and it looks better there.

Strange.

This doesn't bother me, mainly because in real life, the players don't get a sound either. They have to look at the clock.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

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

The speed of the overhead pass is too slow needs to be sped up some

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Been playing 2k since 2k6. I'm offline only and I have to say this is the best gameplay I have ever experienced with 2k. The new dribble moves and control just make it so smooth to transition. Takes some practice but it really flows well. I love the rebounding and post game. Love how natural the physical part of the game is with body contact. Love how shots feel this year and I only use button. Lighting looks great, reminds me of the lighting in 2k14. Really love the feel this year. Love the commentary add on. Haven't gotten into myleague yet. Only complaints I have are the few too skinny body models, removal of some classics, not adding classics(specifically a 24 prime kobe) and the same assistant coach in timeout huddle everything instead of head coach, most likely to be a bug. I also wish we had an ability to edit body types and add tattoos and more accessories to created players...especially for draft classes. All in all, great job 2k, the most fun I've had playing ball.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

As far as I know it'S L2 (LT) + RS

Thanks. I'll try that later.

Yea, I went through 2Ku last night looking for tips on the post game because it seems like it controls differently than previous years (I didn't get any...I wish there was a normal tutorial) but it did mention at one point that L2 is essentially the "body up" button, and in the post it triggers a whole slew of defensive animations that can mess with the timing of the release point and hurt the accuracy of the shot.

I hold it 100% of the time I'm on defense in the post for this reason.

More major issues and inexcusable problems

On ball defense doesnt exist.
Switching player to player is sooo unresponsive and slow. One guy just flat stops because you're trying to toggle between guys.
Very very very slow overhead passes.
Random passes to guys 50 feet away still happen.
Scoreboard will already show the correct score but still does the animation and changes to the same score (example you have 32 and hit a 3 for 35. Itll change immediately to 35 but then do the transition animation from 35 to 35. Not major but give me a break)
I was down 3 at home 40 seconds left. Cheerleaders dancing. Mascot on stilts. Awesome right? No. Crowd was dead silent. All sitting down. No noise at all.
I press Y to jump and it takes the player 7 seconds to perform the animation and have control of him again.
Trying to steal on the run doesnt exist. You know 2k players can swipe the ball as they are running. The player completely stops and peforms some rapey slash at their crotch. Not only does it never result in a steal but it also takes you out of the play. Terrible especially on fastbreaks.

The game is a mess... some of you will say oh wait for the patch...why the FVCK should we pay $60 to not be able to play the real game for months waiting for a patch?

2k doesnt give a ****...their marketing wins every year. They improve NOTHING.

In real life players don't have a stamina bar
Your argument is just as stupid as my answer.

Without the input lag the game feels great. Unfortunately the shot clock no-sound and on-the-fly menus are a huge minus. Best gameplay ever but worst interfaces.

I thought switching players was maybe just something I was experiencing but apparently not. Overhead passing is a legitimate issue that many people have been vocal about. Seems like an easy fix. I would like to think this is a priority that will be included first patch.

Is the shot clock no sound an X1 issue cos it works just fine on my PS4.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Been busy and things since Friday so today was the first day I've actually got to spend with it and I'm really loving what I'm experiencing. The gameplay is the best I ever remember playing and I like a lot of the presentation features. I love the Build Custom League feature as it allowed me to start with 36 teams and use a fantasy draft. Exactly what I wanted to to. I have the 30 regular NBA Teams and also added two of the pre-built teams (Vancouver Ravens and Kansas City Knights) as well as four community created teams I downloaded (Kentucky Wildcats, which is my user team, Louisville Cardinals, Cincinnati Royals, and Anaheim Arsenal). I really liked the pre-built teams 2k added in and I hope they can add in more next year. The rebounding and stealing features have really improved, I applaud that. I also like that there seem to be a more accurate number of fouls and shooting fouls this year. In years past there have been too few.

However, there are a few things that could use work

1. I wish it was easier to override the default NBA team logos in League creator. I was really hoping to be able to easily override the current Spurs, Hawks, Warriors, Raptors, and a few other logos and switch them back to the late 90s or early 2000s style era. It can be done but you have to actually download all the parts yourself and put it together, making it a tedious experience. It would be easier if we could just remove the current teams and replace them with user created teams found online.

2. NBATV is popping up a lot. I don't really particuarly care more for it and it's even popping up in place of where the pre-show should be. I'd rather watch Shaq, Ernie, and Kenny talk rather than watch 2kTV.

3. The half time show is more shallow than last year. I like the stat bars it shows but at the same time it should have Kenny, Shaq, and ernie talking in the background like last year.

4. Still not enough stat overlays happening while playing a game to suit me. I remember years ago in very old 2k titles every time a person scored it showed how many points they had scored at that time. It also showed the same for rebounding, steals, assists, blocks, etc. I really like the look of the presentation but I wish it would utilized more often during a game. Or I at least wish there was an option for "very often" stat overlays.

That being said it is a terrific experience and I'm really enjoying it so far. As long as 2k keeps the custom league feature and allows us to create leagues using community created teams as well as more pre-built teams I hope they bring in the future I'll be set. I know I'm probably alone here on this last point but I really hope they keep letting us use CPU vs CPU in MyLeague. I actually prefer to just build teams and watch them to see how good they do.

I may post some MyCareer impressions later. I got to play around with it a bit and really liked what I saw of it too but MyLeague is my baby ans it's the mode I primarily focus on.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

My liking for this game has gone down somewhat after some hrs on it. Overall still liking it alot. Some things need to really be looked at though,

1) There's no real way to play good defense with screens being too effective. it's often because of an over exaggerated animation being playing out. Watch as rose gets pulled into a bad animation on the screen taking him completely out of the play.

2)Guys are still losing their man on defense due to bone headed mistakes and help D rotations.

3)Whatever the F%$& just happened here. example below

4)shooting percentages are laughably high. Both cpu and user

5)No call on the backcourt violation. Happened in 2k16 also. Not the biggest deal but still.

I'm seeing some of the same issues on defense that was in NBA 2k16. This is game breaking almost for me. I simply can't sit up here and deal with bone headed help D logic for another year. I just don't understand why This is a problem when it has been done correctly in 2k's that have come years before this one.

You can only upgrade the badges specific to your MyPlayer archetype, so if it's not listed under the badges menu, you CAN'T upgrade it. It sucks, I know.

You can actually turn it off so you don't see 2KTV while the game is loading. Turn it of in options and it'll go right to the studio.
