NBA 2K17 MTO GAMEPLAY ISSUES

[lexxon11]

First, I want to say that this is not to bash 2K devs. However, I want to address the Gameplay issues with this game online this year it is really disturbing. Of course I play to win but, win or lose I like to be able to have control of MY Actions. Basketball is a game of skill, strategy, chemistry and athleticism, and I feel that those with a superior skill set is not being rewarded.

For those of you which find this gameplay trend disturbing as well please address your concerns here please, and maybe some legitimate solutions also.

I just want the best possible game in terms of skill and control.

Here is a link to Sam Pham's video that speaks to this better than I can.

haha the 2k magic I call it, I just accept it as part of the game. I feel like it happens with the shot bar too some games you can be filling them 99.99% on open shots and bricking out while your opponent is hitting contested after contested

Re: NBA 2K17 MTO GAMEPLAY ISSUES

the game can literally pick and choose which shots it wants to go in and as long as that's happening people are going to scream foul. It sure doesn't seem coincidental when you miss an easy dunk up 2 with 10 seconds to go, it's almost like the game telling you you weren't supposed to take that shot, you were supposed to get fouled... stuff like that

Re: NBA 2K17 MTO GAMEPLAY ISSUES

exactly it feels like have no control of my players on or off-ball, whether on offense are defense.
It's like the players have a mind of their own. It takes for ever for players to run plays or to even get into position. Even the freelances have this quirkiness to it. I hate how a player on offense will just run into me for no apparent reason, I trying to figure out this years game.

MTO is so damn awful. The button lag is up to about a full second now, I can't drive at all because I just get bump animations due to the lag. Half the time my player just gets frozen to the floor, literally can't move him or change to a different player. Blacktop is more fun than this sad to say.

Easy solution: Don't buy packs. If the lower rated players outpreform the higher rated ones, and your influence on gameplay is negated, don't waste your time and money creating a beastly lineup. The only way this will ever change is if people stop spending money on VC.

Exactly, I have stop buying packs altogether, because of the bad gameplay.
It's frustrating to not have your player perform to their stats. It's takes away the grind of putting together an offensive & defensive system & strategy.

All I am asking for is some consistency, an a expectation of movement so I know what type of strategy to employ based on my opponents actions.

Re: NBA 2K17 MTO GAMEPLAY ISSUES

I had never believed in the "equalizer" until my last 8 games or so of MTO. I do not consider myself to be an elite or even great player but I breezed through all the way up to the diamond league, even sweeping the amethyst league to get my second amethyst reward token.

After sweeping that league, I picked up diamond LJ and made a few other changes that increased my team overall from 95 to 97. Since then, I have gone 1-7, and been demoted from the diamond league. I would say at least 5 of those losses have been to all emerald/gold teams.

I don't like blaming my losses on the game but it seems like all my open shots with near perfect releases that were once A-/B+ quality are now B-/C+. After 8 games of consistently shooting 20% or more worse than my opponents, I have decided that I am going to try using an all emerald team for myself and check the results.

Does anyone else experience coming up the court with a man wide open in the corner who seems to cut straight for the crowded paint as soon as you try to pass to him? So damn frustrating.

Yes. You need to leadpass really early, otherwise no chance that he stays out there...happens even with players that got a high 3pt tendency like Klay Thompson.

Sometimes you see Robert Horry outrebounding Dennis Rodman by a big margin...
...Quentin Richardson draining 3s over Pippen like it was James Harden.
or Ben Wallace the number one offensive option...

You know what all this is called? Equalizer/Rubberband.
Im still waiting for the day this ***** gets removed.

The biggest issue for me gameplaywise is the input lag though. Controls have never been that unresponsive.

Agree 100%.
I get the best shooter up for a wide open 3 and by the time the player responses he is already covered.

Not to mention that on-ball defense, especially in the post is impossible.
