NBA 2K17 Video - Gameplay From Gamescom (Gento)

Re: NBA 2K17 Video - Gameplay From Gamescom (Gento)

Good to see offensive players can now bump back defenders...what looks like irving bumping back curry as a defender didnt seem excessively done for a foul to be called when the animation clearly shows a slight push off with his bemd arm extended to get some space

Good to see defenders trying to catch up from behind didnt force a slow down bumping animation

The hesitation dribble looks smooth as heck and the step backs were a smooth transition into a jumpshot...

Am ready for more

Looks like the exact same "bump the ball handler non stop" defense as this year

I love his blog but he's absolutely wrong lol.

Not many jerseys better than those City ones.

This is not a joke: the throwback Warriors jerseys with the cable cars on the back where the numbers go?
They were declared Best Uniform Ever by Paul Lukas of UniWatch.

The worst? The original Vancouver Grizzlies jersey. (I disagree with him here--I thought the logo was great.)

i'd say its in the top 5 or 10... i think the run TMC era jerseys might be my favorite from them though.

That bump animation on the drive was a little concerning.



Other than that it looked good.

That bump animation will single handedly derail the offense of 90% of the 2k community. I've been waiting years for them to get it right. Looks like they have.

One of the best unis in the league son He'd look dope in the City throwbacks.

Haha it was more a commentary on him joining a powerhouse (not the jersey itself).

• I know there has only been like 3 possessions of rebounds but something about the rebounding looks improved. They added some animations to tip the ball to yourself.
• I am liking the contest animations
• I am not sure there is enough footage to say but it looks like they definitely added some new dribbler to on ball defense animations. It didn't look canned though. When Kyrie was backing Steph down. Steph sort of bumped back expecting a drive. Could be new 2-player animations with multiple outcomes

Why everybody got to be first with some exclusive type BS? This video shows absolutely nothing. Just wait until you can get a quality video that does the game justice.

i actually think that was Kyrie's strength pushing steph backwards and creating space. and then kyrie stepped back to create even more space. which is very promising.

I think there has to be a balance. I play mostly CPU and the constant bumping really stagnates and kills the offense. I'm not talking about plowing through people and spamming the paint. I'm talking about running a half court set and having Isiah Thomas literally get stuck to slow footed bigs like K Love and Hibbert on the perimeter. I should be blowing by those guys every single time or get a blocking call. I turned on ball D down to zero and it helps but it doesn't eliminate it.

On the other side of the coin I understand how needed it is against human players. I don't play online but I play my brother and cousins a good bit and the game would be unplayable without the bumping because all they do is iso with Bron or KD and drive the paint. It just has to be balanced right.

Well..it's hard to tell from one animation. It appears that the sluggishness when players are near each other has been cleaned up. It seemed like strange force field around the offense and defender last year. It was a bit of a train wreck with the constant banging into one another. But, the new animation in the video looked appropriate and realistic

but see....thats just not real basketball.


if lebron james is running at you like that, one does not simply bump him off(especially not KD). His freight train reputation was earned. What one would expect to happen is a couple things.....

1)KD bodies up and gets a foul as thats really the only outcome for trying to stop a running Lebron...when you're a mediocre defender like KD.

or

2) KD gives up the lane but stays on his hip, lebron gets to the lane, Draymond collapses and then 1)lebron forces a layup over 2 guys or 2) passes to an open man bc of the draymond collapse and subsequent switching.


this footage isnt enough to really see anything of how the game actually plays all of these situations out.....but that bump was concerning bc it just isnt realistic at the end of the day(for this scenario).

Overthinking it a bit..it's a charge/block or he picks up his dribble. I prefer the latter. The animation looked appropriate and realistic. I like it.

overthinking KD sliding and bumping off LBJ running at high speed? Lebron james isnt going to plow into you. in 13 years, thats not what he does. he's going to evade you. you can TRY force him off course. kevin durant bump him to completely stop his momentum dead? nah bro.

Yeah I will take it either way it looked very realistic. hope it is not canned.
