More NBA 2K17 MyCAREER Details

I'm curious to know the reason behind allowing people to exceed the cap. So are you telling me a sharpshooter at some point in time can become a dunker also?

For me personally, I think the caps are a little too restrictive. I'm not saying that I want to be maxed out in every attribute. But take the sharpshooter example, in that archetype your defense is capped pretty low. I'd like to be able to exceed my defensive cap to become a really good defender as well. I think that makes sense especially with the "3&D" guys in the NBA. And I think there are other examples that would apply too.

Thanks so much for answering my questions Mike. Some good news for sure!

Dev says you can't exceed it. Zach Timmerman is a dev, he said on Twitter that can't exceed them.

Also how does the upgrade system work?

Do you still start with 75 upgrades? How are the others earned? I need answers

I think the rest are earned through "doing work" similar to 2k16. It's just a different name for the same meeter we already had except it looks bigger and shooting around on my court goes towards filling it up. But I haven't seen a dev confirm that we can increase caps. In fact I've seen the opposite on Twitter.

Interesting...youtubers who like to constantly restart to get the highest draft place (naming no names) will have their skills exposed for the prelude lol.

If they stink it up they can't change it. Love it!

Im pretty sure if you delete the file from your Xbox/PS4 you'll be able to start over, lol..

The only thing I want to know is whether our teammates are any good. All this auxiliary stuff will go untouched if I'm playing next to a star and the game makes him play terribly so I have to do everything on my own.

Seems like it would work like it did last year. You get so many then as you work you can unlock another set amount which you can add to whatever category you want.

That said it still doesn't really tell you what the actual skill results will be when position/height/weight/wingspan and any I forgot are factored in to give you a final skill points numbers.

You could have two 7ft centers with the same caps but one's vertical is higher because he weighs less, but at the same time the one who weighs more gets a higher skill point value in strength.

Will we be able to access and use our pre order bonus for the prelude? Not looking to cheese, but it stinks having a college 'phenom' rated in the mid 50's.

I read different from a dev regarding caps. He said you can't exceed them. This from Zachary Timmerman on Twitter:

@Franchize416 Caps are set where they are. You can earn bronze badges outside of your archetype, which will help you succeed in other areas

If we go from what it is posted here, he didnt said that (that caps cant be exceeded) ... he said that caps are set at what they are ... leaving room for them to be exceeded ... which is in line with what the OP said and with whagt the producer from the other thread said.

i dont understand the switching between characters thing.... i thought we could only control one character.

Only one character in The Prelude. In NBA 2K17 you can probably have like 5 characters like last year.

ahhhh okay. so you can switch between your different saves. i thought they meant you could switch between multiple characters within the same save.

Re: More NBA 2K17 MyCAREER Details

They should create a generator where you insert

Position- Small Forward
Height- 6'8
Weight- 225
Archetype- Point Forward
Wingspan- 82.7"

and then it gives you the maximum for each attribute, that way before selecting everything you know what you're limited to.

Yes. You can take control of your fictional team mates who are part of the story.
