Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I still have not seen a single moving screen called in MyLeague since the patch. I thought they added those back in?

Shoutout to the CPU for holding me down defensively while I was on the phone [emoji38]

One of those would have been a foul pre patch..

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I think green releases should be removed. I myself don't really like the feel i get when i hit the green release, there should be no guaranteed make IMO, when you are like 100% sure it's going in. Great release should be the highest level of accuracy you could get but i doubt they'll do that, justi magine the reaction of casual spamming twitter sharpshooter fans.

That's why I use "user timing without the shot meter". If I get a green release, there'll be no more excitement on whether "is it going in or should I battle for an offensive rebound?". Now where's the realism in that? I think those mini game of "fill in the shot meter" should only be on practices. During the game, one should feel the player's release (quick, mid, or late release). Notice how some shots are made even if you only fill the meter 75%, and missed some shots that are nearly 100%. I think shot meter is only another game within a game. Gameplaywise, 2k17 is fun (even after the latest patch and tuning). You win some, you lose some.

I also use user timing without the shot meter but if you know exactly when to release(so much easier to time it this year) like I do on most players shooting forms the green release is almost automatic when wide open. I rarely miss when wide open even with bad shooters because it's so easy to time the shot just right and get that green release...I don't know why anyone would even need the shot meter...if anything I think that would make it harder to get a green release.

2k16 ****s on this game so bad it's not funny.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

2K has all these variety of defensive settings that dont even work, your CPU team mates have low IQ and constantly get lost...you literally have to be everywhere at once cos you cant count on your team mates.

But the CPU opponents are all Kawhi leonards and prime Duncan.

At least i can consistently beat people online, even tho its trash.

2k16 also had messed up D but really the only thing I had to worry about in 2k16 was the absurd OFF. rebounding.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

I mean having to listen to the TO coach for a couple MyLeague season sounds like torture. Why would they think he was a good idea? What coach lets the assistant totally dominate the team like that?

And the TO menu and on fly menus are still terrible. I don't care what you say.

Some really questionable decision making this year from 2K.

I don't know why, but I haven't had to listen to the fake coach in months. I only play MyLeague, so maybe he stops taking after a few games or something?

Mygm too. I think he's only in my career now.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

the patch was really good this time. i put my diffucllty to all star and put all shooting to 50% and the rest in default, game speed 52 and its actually turns out good. Now both me and cpu miss and make shot whether open or contested.the flow of the game is better. CPU Center cannot make that cheese basket from inbound the only thing missing now is the players appearances so i can play my league and i can finally say that they did an excellent job with this patch. kudos 2k

agreed. lost 5 in a row at first (almost wanted to give up) but won the next 5 in myleague offline 10 min per quarter AS level. just beat the warriors last night 122 vs 100. Cpu KD miss some but made a couple. Cpu SC was sim, shooting a few steps away from arc and went for 40. Klay was even sim, catch and shoot with fairly high percentage. i wouldnt be able to beat them if i were at HOF level.

by far i managed to hit one game with 40+ pts using Harden and thats it. with the stamina in check, i couldnt play him more than 35 minutes per game (normalised min) in fear of shot fatigue as a result of repeatedly driving to the basket on PnR plays. I hope to get 30 & 10 on a regular basis.

think i'll be going on to SS level with a few more games. will try game speed 65 too.

i also realise that as the level goes higher, the game requires u to be able to play one-on-one thru post or isomo dribbles or manual PnR or quick PnR play bcos the Cpu defense is smarter and yor guys are harder to get open thru screens. so, i feel a need to master some go-to moves.

i hope the Ace could initiate the play FASTER. a lot of time wasted due to walk-up court motion

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Ratings seem to not mean anything in this game. CPU hits whatever shots are convenient for evening the score or taking the lead. This means Ben Simmons will hit 3 threes in a row if it means getting the score close (I've witnessed this a lot), which is what the CPU is so obviously programmed to do. Speed is not even a factor. Another Aspect of the game in witch the CPU ignores. I'll just let the video speak the truth here.

lol i came in just to post about this. just the other day with two great athletes imo(westbrook, oladipo) would get hip checked in that same manner.

in one play oladipo got a steal and is blazing down the court than some bum named cobacolo somehow sprints(he was 10 feet behind) and ends up hip checking him forcing oladipo to pick up his dribble.

the exact same thing happened with westbrook i tossed my controller and called a to cause it was an online game. its bad enough guys that quick with the ball cant create separation on a damn fast break but that hip check isnt a foul? really guys like westbrook lose dribble after a hip check?

other than that shooting is overpowered this year. hope that gets fixed...i understand that late contests are punished but i feel guys who arent great shooters are shooting too well.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Just had a fantastic couple of games last night. CPU teams that should play slow, did play slow.

FYI: This is the time of the game (about 1 month in) when the negativity on OS is at a critical mass. Ignore these people. The game has shortcomings, but it's not "broken", and is much better thn any preceding 2K.

dirk the contrarian.

Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

Coming from last gen, the game is beautiful and imo plays more like actual basketball than ever before, the one super wonky thing is all the 3s on fast breaks. If they could fix that, I'd be perfectly fine with things, playing MyLeague today with my Mavs and was annoying to have Kawhi pull up for three every-time he stole the ball or pass out when I cut him off the line for Tony Parker to shoot one, cause ya know, he loves 3-pointers Other than that though, I don't really see what all the fuss is about, plays well and I've actually had fun online for once with PNO.
