Curry unfair in 2k17?

[Vni]

It's not really the shooting but it's the way he can bulldoze his way through players, it's pretty disgusting.

Just give me a filter for online play now so I won't have to deal with this crap. Just match all the Warriors players up with each other and they can have 3 point contest while I play real basketball with other people

I love to hear this about curry. The fact that it will be a challengento defend him is what makes fun the game

Secondly while yes Curry can pull up from near half court with a higher success rate than most, what concerns me is the description of him being faster than everyone else on the court. This isn't Russell Westbrook or even LeBron James, Curry shouldn't be faster than everyone else on the court and shouldn't have better handles than everyone. This article is quite bit worrisome.

While I can agree that Curry shouldn't be faster than a Westbrook, for a Bay Area company, 2K has actually shown notable lack of attention towards Curry until last season. His signature shot was terrible until 2k16, his cyberface wasn't the greatest until he made the cover athlete (but sharing that honor with 2 other players while a Paul George enjoys the sole spotlight), and he didn't get that recognition or a mo-cap session until after he won an MVP and a championship.

Whether that was due to Curry's unavailability or 2K's lack of prioritization or both, it was very notable for a star who lives so close to the studio.

Curry was (justifiably) hyped last year because the sports world was hyped about him. And it took much more for him to get focus in the game than the many players who received more attention while accomplishing less. And already, the Friction trailer barely features the back-to-back MVP while highlighting Thompson and Green.

One of the other reviews suggested that Curry plays much more like he's able to while defenders are also given (and forced to use) realistic tools to try to stop him. Curry is an edge case, and it's great to see 2K handle that on both sides of the court for the good of the overall simulation. Hopefully it trickles down and helps to simulate the play of other players who are capable of having similar (but much, much less consistent and irregular) spurts like Lillard and even Irving.

I'm not shook, if he's op it will give me great satisfaction to shut him down.

The dude is the second best player in the game, and has one of the more unique skillsets we've seen from a player. He absolutely deserved his rating. The main problem was against the CPU in my experience. The CPU doesn't aggressively look for shots like threes like they should. Curry would constantly dribble around with plenty of space to shoot threes, but he wouldn't even recognise this.

Online I found him pretty unstoppable at times and flat out awful at others where 2K still doesn't understand that he can shoot threes over anyone, and almost never fades away on three pointers. He would be cold because you'd shoot a few threes with him that had the defender providing a bit of a challenge and he'd fadeaway.

The other problem with him is that 2K thinks he shoots those crazy floaters everytime he goes to the basket, instead of them being part of a varied layup package. It's frustrating to no end when you play an opponent who can time blocks and swat any of those floaters Curry automatically shoots.

Curry and Irving are probably the two best dribblers in the game, and I feel like Curry is the best at using his dribble effectively and quickly to exploit the defence. As for speed, he isn't Westbrook lightning fast but he is certainly one of the faster players in the league with the ball in hand.

He generally only shoots those shots when he's in a rhythm or to try and stop a run. And this makes it sound like he will be able to consistently drain 30+ footers throughout the game. In real life, he averaged less than one attempt from >28ft per game. Switching is what stopped Curry in the WCF and the Finals. Yes, most big men will have trouble, but some should be able to guard him.

I'd wait and see. It's a five minute demo and this is the second time I've heard about Curry pulling up from there in a media outlet's hands-on preview, so they might have adjusted some things to show that off.

Curry abused absolutely everyone in switches in the regular season. His knee strain clearly bothered him in the playoffs. All of a sudden he couldn't blow past guys like Steven Adams who he had no trouble with in the regular season. Yes, Tristan Thompson did a good job in the finals, but this was a guy torching Kawhi Leonard on switches in the regular season.

Plays like that in real life though. Maybe not literally barging to the rim, but he goes up strong at the rim and takes a lot of contact.

I just want him to shoot more often. In 2K16 it drove me crazy how many times he would drive to the basket and use that cheesy super high arc lay-up animation that always goes in and is unblockable. Whenever I played against the Warriors it seemed as though he would only attempt his first three in the third period.

It seem slike 2K is so big now that players should be willing to spend their own dime to get in mo-cap sessions
