2k17 gameplay is just on another level

[DonWuan]

I was just going through my steam looking at time played. According to steam I put in 1500 hours(tons of modding/tweaking) with 2k16, 1000 with 2k17, 1400 with 2k18 and no more than 250 hours with the last few releases.

Im offline only player for the most part. Im personally waiting for a magical patch for 2k21. Im certain they all have their pros and cons.

I know that feeling. Up until 2k15 or 16 I enjoyed MyCareer to where I was playing out multiple seasons and building dynasties on 12 minute quarters every year. After 2k16 my time played dropped drastically each year to where this year I think I've only played about half a season, spent most of it yelling at the game and feeling miserable, and have not touched the game in months. I probably would not even have 2k21 at all if someone had not gifted it to me.

It is why they remove all kinds of capabilities on these old games after two years. If it had roster updates, and the proper online features in came with, many more would be playing this and other NBA 2K games.

This is the reason 2k will begin to cater to casuals more and more, the nuance they add goes unrecognized by many anyways

Well, with this game being *Trash (insert sarcasm)* ever year, I find it hard to believe anyone enjoys the game. If you go back to those threads, they were all the "worst years" of the series

2K14 PS3/360 was the GOAT.

All they had to do was build on 2K16 from last-gen. Idk why each subsequent release got worse from a gameplay perspective. 2K17 introduced the "brick-wall defense" and from there the tables turned.

Hopefully, they'll be able to find the right balance soon.

I mostly remember 2k17 for its bad body types and plays being impossible to run due to the bad ai path finding and play taking ages to develop.

2K17 was completely broken for me. You score with a player a few times and they double team all game and you get easy score by just passing out of the double team


Did they fix that? That game was absolute trash and I couldn’t even finish a single game. Am I missing something??
