they need to fix the servers. the reaction combined with the lag is horrific. you have to anticipate 3 moves ahead

Dude I'm sorry but 2K16 > 2K17. I have had more SMDH moments in just one month of 2K17, than the entire span of 2K16. 2K has a lot of work to do and testing if they want to claim this game is "sim". And $250k tourny with this game? Cmon. Probably a roster of 4 sharp shooters who'll shoot 70% from beyond the arc


- HOF badges just make everything arcade. Like Gold wasn't enough, we need God-mode badges to make things more unrealistic.

- Walk-on is an absolute joke. I have NEVER seen a full game of 10 humans. People always get kicked. And the CPU is a combination of moronic vs the 3ball and god-like interceptor in the paint.

- The double team glitch is STILL in the game smh. Spam LB for a nice boost to your defensive awareness. Awesome.

- The amount of contested shots that go in is ridiculous

- 99% of open shots go in

- MyPARK has gone full NBA Jam. Never go full nba jam.


Defense? Defense? We're talking about defense? Ain't no defense cmon.


The casuals are winning, "sim" and gameplay balance doesn't seem to be the goal anymore, the business model of incentifying leveling up is the goal aka more VC cha-ching $$$...

pro am is on rookie difficulty. when it comes to e-sports the difficulty should be higher.

I'm pretty sure they've said it's on Superstar, but that barely matters with the way the current mechanics work. I'd love them to just switch it to Hall of Fame for a week and see how gameplay is, it can't get much worse...

Yeah, online game is basically unplayable at the moment against any team that decides to spam screens, and you literally can't do anything about it.

@Beluba ETA on fixing illegal screen patch and making the game not broken again?

Yeah, I thought 2k17 was supposed to be more about skill and improved defense and balance. It's in fact the exact opposite of that. I didn't realize 2k Sports idea of skill was simply adding an additional boost to the offense (like they need anymore boosts) for using the RS to shoot and making green perfect releases even easier. Outside of mycareer it doesn't feel like your defensive badges or shot contests even matter that much.
