NBA 2K17 Features Improvements Across The Board, Here's 75 of Them

[scottyp180]

Ton of great news and a lot to be excited about. One thing we haven't heard about is the magnetic/warping/telepathic AI defense that made it near impossible to beat the defender off the dribble...

Really looking forward to the developer blogs. I hope this is a point of emphasis.

Good question. My guess is that they'll have to have this to some extent in order to initiate contact however they seem to be forcing the issue of "you control everything you see" so maybe the magnetic warping will be limited if not completely eliminate.

I love all that there saying, if it all works right. I wish Erick Boenisch would have said that they worked on getting simulation stats right, so you MyLeague/GM/ and even your MyPlayer for that matter, didnt have screwed up league stats. Some of this has to do with very poorly done tendencies for players, and if the guy who does ratings/tendencies for them was more accurate the stats would be closer to accurate, as the roster editors found out here. But some of it is just a issue that has to be fixed under the hood by the devs. I know Erick has a passion for those Association modes, you can tell by listening to him talk, so I hope he look into this issue thats been there for every, last year was improved, but still needs work to be right.

Past 2K allowed us to add/remove headbands.

Bottom line is, art (and art accuracy) is at the bottom of 2K's priority list.

This year it looks like they took out muscle tone in players arms. Why?

Look at Madden. They have all different size body types. The arms have nice definition. And there's a LOT more going on during gameplay than in NBA 2K.

I'm tired of excuses.

For one, Madden only has like 5 -10 canned body types that they use for all players. Two most players in the NBA are not muscular cut plus the 2K team does body scans of a lot of the players, does Madden do body scans? Three, you wanna talk about removal of headbands when Madden does not even have mouth pieces in the game! Four don't ever compare an inferior piece of software such as Madden to NBA 2K.

And, that's just not true. They talked about it last year, and it was either a lie, or it failed miserably. It's quite obvious to anybody who has a set of working eyes.

Obviously, it was never fully explained to us what they were "body scanning," but it is clear as day that they were scanning tattoos and scars on players.

Awesome news! Can anyone confirm if all the offline myleague features is in the online version or is the online a slimmed down version?

So hyped for this game man. The editing is going to be of the chain. & When it says "Easier roster/draft class editing -- can now edit an entire roster at once on one screen, not player by player" does that mean now when we fix there signatures & jumpshots its way easier now? Cause if so than thats even better for us who fix all the sigs & jumpshots & the lengths of there body. Will be faster for us

Hasn't it been established that body scans were essential used for tattoos and scars? Or that's the most logical conclusion people on this board have come to.

I doubt it was a lie because they showed pictures last year of players having their bodies scanned. My guess is that bodies were scanned but not implemented in the way we wanted and expected. Perhaps they only scanned a handful of bodies and just used those body types as the standard models for every player.

I really was disappointed in 2k last year (and I'm still hoping with all the new features and revised features that transition D and big man D are far improved) and honestly played it less than any time in the past 11 years since I first switched over from Live.

That said, the things mentioned for offline franchise (which I play almost exclusively) sound AMAZING if they work properly. These are some of the biggest changes in this mode I've ever seen. And frankly they have me excited to get the game after I was lukewarm and told my wife just to get it for me for xmas so I could play some more of The Show.

Add in the rotation changes (which was/is a BIG issue for me) and 2k really has me sold on buying this game ASAP. Now I just have to sell the wife on it too (or simply sell the wife

2k used 7 body types. Someone on Reddit had a thread of the body types 2k uses and examples of what players had what body.

Yup. And that's 4-5 more than 2K17....or so it seems.

Just an amazing list of improvements! For me though, the "Play Today" (or whatever its called) in myLEAGUE is a total game-changer! I usually don't receive my annual copy until Christmastime, so the fact that I can start my franchise to date with the correct standings AND accurate player stats is ridiculous!!

This will save me tons of tedious hours carefully simulating games until my franchise is caught up with the current NBA season. I'm beyond excited!
