NBA 2k17 User Interface Design

[ZoneBlitz]

I may be the only one that cares about this kind of stuff, but I am really loving what I am seeing regarding the User Interface design, look and feel. For some reason, that's really important to me.

At any rate, I can't wait to see how it looks in full. The game, itself, seems like it will be another classic from 2k.

Looking forward to it all.

It has a lot less clutter and looks much cleaner

I completely agree. 2k has usually gone for very dark and muted colors for their menus besides 2k14 so I'm really glad they switched it up with a bright theme and different fonts. I hope they've gone away from having 2kTV on the main menu and those awful animated player transitions when selecting game modes though.

It definitely looks much cleaner and classier.

2K16 was the best menu UI, 2k17 looks to be even better. I remember when 2K Sports games had the worse UI they use to look like something out of the early 90s.

I grabbed a screen shot of the new FreeLance Interface, from one of the videos, it's blurry because the stream was blurry.

The first screen shot is in a Square Shape, I don't know which button press brings up the FreeLance options but this is the first screen you get, before you drill down.

The way he used this is the RS points to a quadrant to move to the next screen, was pretty fast the selection will light up and move to the next screen the Triangle


This the 2nd part of the FreeLance, it was fluid in the video and again it has more selections with the L1/R1 button and again the pushing RS to make the selections


This looks to be a big improvement and a win for expediency. My only issue is I hope it allows you to prioritize your freelance so what you want to be first, 2nd or 3rd is done by the end-user instead of your favorite sets are the 9th row.

You are definitely not the only one who cares about the UI!

What I like about the 2k16 UI is the experience it gives; it's fast, intuitive and very logical. The design itself was a little too dark for my taste (compare to FIFA16 for example), but I guess that's pretty much the way 2k has gone with for some years now.

IMO the social media thing in the MyLeague main screen could be put aside though, it takes too much space. Maybe show some statistics instead?

2kTV is tied to the severs being on

I agree totally.
