      Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

      I tried to love it, I really did.. huge 2k fanboy and find it hard to fault them for the past 17 years..missteps here and there though and this year just seems like a huge one.

      7! patches in and the game has gone every which way through that time..
      I only play offline and feel like the gameplay has been touched so many times for no reason and i have had to readjust slider sets every time etc...

      Haven't been happy with having to turn ACE off for things to work correctly/not being able to manually override individual ACE options etc..

      The CPU is just the worst on the users team this year as they can't get around screens or stay between their man and the basket at all times.. I've never seen it this bad and i know its because they tried to implement a lot of things this year.. AI hasn't been ready for it.

      Now the game is freezing at the initial loading screen for myself and so many others with no word from 2K on a fix, only NOT to do the only thing that actually fixes it (reserved space)... Im just.. fed up.

      This has been the worst year for 2K imo..and I've been there since the start... Reminds me of i think it was 2k4/ESPN year...

        Earlier in 2K17, fast breaks were skewed too far towards guys running out to the 3 point line. All players were doing it, even post guys at times. So, people complained, and rightfully so probably. The problem is that now hardly anyone looks for a 3 on a fast break. It's back to the way it was in 2K16 and earlier. Even three point shooters don't. Kyle Korver doesn't run to the three point line now on fast breaks. 2K always does this. There are legitimate complaints about something, and they listen (and thank you for doing that) but in response they overcompensate and now it's too far skewed the other way. Unfortunate.

          Would be nice to have a trait for that. How they approach a fast break. Run out to three point line, look for lob, etc. Not sure there can really be too many options, but still. Like you said, not everyone should look for the 3

            NBA 2k15 does this well. there are enough fast breaks where youll see a 3 point shooter run to the 3 point line. its so properly balanced. dont understand why they cant get this right this year.

              They fukd up really bad this year in terms of scoring impossible points, AI just straight away cheat, i started on Superstar, i was thinking WTF is happening, i was using my player trainer bug to max out grades in offline play, so basically my player is super-mega star with 90s in almost every situation, and its ok to miss contested shoots and similar, but how can for examp Lilard outscoring me in 3pt shots with 80 and something and with 68(yeah 68) for contested shots, and he got over 60% success in 3pt shooting with heavily contested shoots with step back, step side, or sometimes even turnaround shoot, WTF IS HAPPENING !? Centers and Powerforwards are just plain stupid in defense, they do not read players for block and they failing miserably when they are picked for pick-and-roll, and almost always are in wrong position for defense, I'm for now in finals with muthafukin Portland, playing with raptors with fkin Justice Young....

                You're using a cheat to max out your player and you're complaining? Probably not the wisest choice here.

                  I've had this game since day 1, and every game, day 1, since about 2k11 I believe. This is by far the worst game in the series, in terms of bugs, crashes, etc. It's embarrassing, I wouldn't want my name on this game in terms of how often it crashes, bugs out, freezes on screens.

                    So it's only ok for you to cheat and not the cpu?

                    Just wanted to get clarification on this before possibly answering the real question..

                      Re: NBA 2K17 Impressions Thread

                      Man this game is so damn close to being immensely better than 2k16. After taking over a month from playing, ive been playing all weekend.

                      The key folks and I CANNOT stress this enough: this is a simulation hoops game. It will never be perfect, bug free, or anywhere near.

                      But damn man, at times the AI makes smarter basketball decisions than the majority of division 1 collegiate players, LOL.

                      But to get to the good stuff you've gotta put in a lot of work unfortunately. Out of the box rosters were borderline pathetic. There are some players who have clearly not been touched in years (ratings, tendencies, etc).

                      It's AWESOME to have the abundance of attributes we have. Over 100 if I had to guess. But, as some have found, some of these completely do not impact gameplay...nor is there any explaination behind each one.

                      I'm very tempted to dig deep into these and test them. Yet, I have no idea where to begin.

                      I feel like these 100+ attributes that make up each player are the key to bringing out the true brilliance this game possesses. (Gameplay 1st, sim stats 2nd)

                      Anyone here do any serious tendency/att testing? I feel like if you have two teams with nearly perfected tendencies the game would be immensely better.

                          This game plays like NBA Live, and that's not a good thing. Every sequence & shot seems acted out. SMH.

                            After playing nba live religiously before switching to 2k in 2009/2010, I don't see very many similarities to live...

                              Did anyone of you noticed that the gameplay is after newest roster update harder then it was before.Allstar difficulty seems hard as it was Hall of fame difficulty before this update!Defensive assist strength seems like it doesnt work anymore even if it is set to 100.Cpu again constantly looks for that cutting passes to the inside the paint.Also Pro difficulty level seems harder then it was allstar before!

                                You and that other guy are idiots...have you ever played the game !? they score impossible shoots with heavily contested defense on them...with lower then 90 for scoring it is impossible to score heavily contested shoots... and how it is real to have PG with 60 or so for 3pt shoot !? or with 60 speed !? Every point guard have good outside, solid inside shooting, and solid defence skills, and those limitations in 2k17 are ridiculous, i just bypass them to get maximum grade which it should be, and it is not 99, it is around 90 which is real if you build your Star player.
                                So dont be ridiculous with your comments...
                                And also what is this ****e, when i finished season and win playoffs game automatically transferred my player to GSW :S
