What 2kSport told us we could expect from NBA 2k17. Did they deliver?

Re: What 2kSport told us we could expect from NBA 2k17. Did they deliver?

Coming out in September is no excuse, that was their decision.

AAA games should not release in the state that this game is currently at, never mind where it was at launch.

2k has been making this game for almost 2 decades, there are no "excuses" that they can make that would justify this release and the follow up that has or has not taken place since release.

What ever happened to honesty?
Would it be so bad if 2k came out and said, "We made a few mistakes on this years release of NBA 2k17. We are dedicated to fixing some of the issues that have been discovered. Please be patient as we work to provide you with the game that we envisioned"?

IMO, this would be music to most peoples ears.

I could forgive 2k and even continue to support them, if they would just be honest.
As long as they are working to fix the many issues of this game, including servers, and communicating with their fans about their continued efforts.

Instead, we get no communication and only promotion of game modes, events, tournaments, and the many ways to buy and spend VC.
What's even more disheartening than that is the fact that the modes, events, and tournaments that they are promoting are flawed/broken to the point that they, in some cases, can't even be played.

2k has lost my trust and loyalty, but they could easily earn both back just by being who they were when they gained it in the first place!

Preach sir if they just level with us I would be fine. Somehow core features just keep getting worse i rather the game be out in October knowing its polished

With 2k18 just around the corner, I thought it would be a good idea to refresh this thread.

As reminder and a warning.

If 2k cares about basketball in the slightest they need to see this poll. Abysmal.

"Skills Matter" looool

The link in my signature pretty much sums up all the stuff that 2k said we would get, but we never received.

I'm still trying to figure out where the hell the yeezys are?

I saw that video a while back, and the maker doesn't know what a lie is. It's just YT 'personality' nonsense.

2K better hope Live bombs. Word of mouth travels extremely fast In 2017 and if word gets out that Live is more playable than 2k I bet it only takes 2 or 3 years before Live is on top.






Sports gaming was at its best when there is competition. If Live drops a playable game that doesn't require spending VC to compete then 2k is in trouble

What about it isn't lies? They said stuff was gonna be in the game and that stuff wasn't in the game. Don't think it gets more blatant than that

First off, they said stick skills mattered this year all over their twitter but when the game dropped and people were mad, those tweets magically disappeared. Stick skills don't matter when you get 2 glass cleaners who have hall of fame brick wall badges to molest you on screens so that some sharpshooter can cheese and get an open shot

Secondly, they said the servers would be better this year which was very obviously not the case considering how horrible they were a couple months back. lll give them some credit for fixing them a little bit, but Old Town park is still broken and basically unplayable.

Next, Ronnie mentioned something about underwater parks which hopefully implied that there would be some type of new MyPark considering we've had these same parks for a few years, but nope.

Then, Ronnie posted on twitter saying "yeezys will be in 2k17"... I'd like to see you point out to me where the yeezys are located.....

Another lie was when Mike Wang stated on more than one occasion that shooting wouldn't be touched for the rest of the year, but then immediately changed it again within the matter of a few weeks

Still, if none of those are lies than i'd like to see what your definition of a lie is. Someone saying that they'll do something or there will be something, but then that something never happens, is considered a lie to me.

Edit: Another thing i remembered was Ronnie saying there would be no more bump turnovers this year. Bump turnovers are not only still in the game, but now they have all these automatic strip animations when you catch the ball

Dude, stick skills matters wasn't a lie. Its a matter of opinion.

And I still can't believe people believed the underwater stuff. It was clearly joking.

Who cares about Yeezys. It's one stupid shoe.

Shooting tweaks? Well he was overly responsive to the community.

It was a terrible video.

I don't think anyone would argue that stick skills are better this year than they were last year. 2k said they would be better but they aren't.

I didn't believe in there actually being an underwater park but considering that most of the damn community was asking for new parks, I figured we would get them.

It's not a matter of "who cares about yeezys" (because I can tell you that a LOT of the online players wanted yeezys) but it's a matter of him saying there would be something but then didn't capitalize on it, or in other words, him lying

Maybe he should've been overly responsive to the community last year when we asked for simple stuff to be added or removed from the game this year, but it wasn't

Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's a terrible video. I know you're not someone who likes to criticize 2k, but sometimes you just have to face it

They lied to us this year multiple times.

Every post I see from this guy is defending the devs, don't even bother arguing with him.

He's been a member of OS for a long time, he was here before I even started watching basketball. I have nothing but respect for him but there is no excuse for 2k not delivering on their end and producing a good game. I would never feel bad for someone for making a bad video game when they're apart of a company as big as 2k. There was no excuse for this game being so bad when you're being paid thousands of dollars to deliver on your promises and make a good basketball game

I know he's been here for a while, but he still defends the devs way too much.

Nope. I criticise plenty.

And Ive been here long enough to know this is the site for constructive feedback, which might not be what you're looking for.

Stick skills mattering is not a matter of opinion at all. I've played games against people who just Use a player like westbrook and sprint and dunk for like 60 points. I still win but its a close game not because they have stick skills, but because they can use the right trigger and run along the baseline. I can play Myteam, put Giannis at the 1 and sprint and dunk for 80 points without using the right stick.
