    In terms of separating the field, it kind of sounds like jones could possibly be alluding to a lobby type atmosphere or maybe at least grouping the higher rated players from the lower rated players in my park. I hope so bc I dnt want to be rated 95 and have to be the one matched up against a 85 player who I can easily outplay. It's like when you have a kid that called next among men and you getting matched up with the kid.

    Plus alot of those lower rated players are newbies and some are just nuts so they are going to cause you to lose bc they are still learning how to play.

      Very anxious to try out the new defense.

      Also want to see how the scottie pippen tip steals feel which basically happens when you show the ball too much to the defense.

      previously you'd only go for a swipe steall

        Hopefully when he says that teammates left their assignments, it wasn't one pass away and/or somebody rotated over to the guy that was left.
        Yes this! Rotating on defense was a big problem in 2k16.

          Timed layups confirmed. Pretty amazing. I had made a thread back in 2014 about that.

              So are the freelances EXCLUSIVE to the team you are using, or are they all in a sub menu like they were last year when you could pick 3-2 offense, Pace, Triangle, etc.?

              If so, they're gonna need to rework the whole selection process because scrolling through 7 pages of offenses last year was a pain during the middle of a possession that often went wasted.

                So happy that they finally addressed the randomness of steals and the unresponsive unintuitive sizeup moves

                  this game is based on animations. so it will still be tied to an animation. on 2k16, far too many near steals happened bc your guy broke out of the animation and couldnt just reach down to get it smh.

                    This sounds great and everything and I'm getting slightly excited, but actually seeing all this in action would be better than just reading about someone hyping it all up.

                    Having teammates leave their assignment to stop someone in the paint sounds wonderful, but if they're constantly leaving shooters wide open on the perimeter then that's going to make so many people on here rage. The same goes with deflected passes. Are they happening 25 times a game or at an actual reasonable rate?

                    Seeing all the "thanks 2k!" comments in here means the honeymoon period of 2k17 has officially begun. I give it until late Sept/early October before it changes back to the old, classic OS 2k board.

                      I really hope they let you set up those options before the game starts. Would be cool if we can set the defensive settings on players also, rather than having to pause the game or call timeouts at the start of the game.

                        i dont think you're a debbie downer. i personally think you're spot on. every year they say they add something, and 2 months in, nothing works as they hyped it and it's clunky. i wanna actually SEE it.

                          Czar said he'd love that in 2013. I bet he played a role in that. Man where is Sundown.

                            The description about the layups and how you can choose to either create contact or go around a defender gives me hope for finishing inside with small PGs (Lowry, Thomas, Paul etc.).

                              Have to agree with this the freelance should be select-able prior to starting a game and during any timeout. It would be nice to be able to pick a playbook prior to starting a game but I don't know may not happen.

                                Dribble moves and shooting on the same stick has always been an issue for me. Not only that, but ultra precision with the right stick has never been a strong suit for me in any game, ever. Even in Tiger Woods, when I was just able to sit there and take my time, I often struggled keeping the right analog in a straight line. I can't imagine trying to perfect it on the run over and over during a basketball game.

                                A lot of the other stuff sounds good in theory, but it's tough for me to say considering my limited experience with 2K16 and 2K15. Nothing really knocked my socks off here, but theoretical refinement is always nice.
