Can someone please tell me which camera is the in the second shot?

Re: New NBA 2K17 Patch: Expanded Dev Notes

So I'm guessing the fast break is still broken? Guys running to the corner and stopping??

I'd love if that actually happened instead of 2 guys running to the same place and allowing one defender to cover both of them

Good to see that 2K has not given up on the game and is fixing flaws. Keep improving and I will stay a customer

Kinda dumb how we're just now getting a true in-depth look at how Off-Ball Pressure actually works in conjunction with Screen Help Rules/Help Rules. Or maybe I just missed the segment on that. Either way, there should be clearer explanation IN-GAME about it.

But still I am thankful. Especially for Mr. Czar for keeping us in the loop!

Wait so has the 7 Point double team been removed or just had AI improvements? Are we still gonna get double teamed every time we score 7 points?

It let you get all the way to 7 before?? I get double teamed from the opening possession

[MaliceDaJedi]

Do these AI changes affect Pro-Am at all? Whether it's the default 55ovr AI or someone gets kicked, the computer NEVER plays sharpshooters close in the corners. ONLY IF THEY CAN SHOOT THOUGH, because if I have my glass cleaner and a computer is guarding me I get no breathing room anywhere on the court

Re: New NBA 2K17 Patch: Expanded Dev Notes

Played 5 games 12min quarters. HOF/SuperStar and I must say the AI on both sides of the ball has improved significantly. I must say, knowing that you guys dialed back the adjustments, they need to creep up a little especially in the post mismatches. Lopez was killing Randle in the post and no help came for 7 possessions. The CPU AI was smartly taking advantage of the size and skill difference, but my guy was being laid to waste.

This is all great stuff, but do players still randomly slide into position when receiving passes (mainly during inbound passes)? Nothing kills immersion more then seeing my player slide about 5 feet when standing still to receive a pass. I really hope this was addressed. What happened to the foot planting that gets touted every year? Seems like every year we have the same problem with players sliding into position. It's such an eyesore.

Good stuff, did the reduction in collisions help with offensive set plays taking too long to form, or is that unrelated?

Will test myself when I get on, obviously.

Yo s/o to D_C.

Y'all came around when we needed it.

Thanks for fixing the bumping. Thanks for fixing the dribbling. Thanks for making the defenders/player models more responsive.

[tril]

Thanks for the detailed info Czar. Ill revisit 2k17.

Re: New NBA 2K17 Patch: Expanded Dev Notes

Nice. I really wasn't concerned with the amount of double teams just that it was often one pass away and there was no rotation on the weak side. Hopefully this is transferable to 2K18.

FWIW I only played with the Clippers, and I rarely dominated with 1 player so would rarely attract double teams. And I saw some defensive AI stuff from ACE that other dudes didnt see. I was loving it; it felt like I was playing a different game to others.

Czar can I suggest a short video clarifying some of the defensite settings for 2K18? Even now, there is dispute about what some do. Not the obvious ones, the ones that were added.

I think it's crazy that some users have some entitled expection that how to use "expert" settings should be provided. Thats what AUTO is for. There are expert settings on your computer/television/etc... that do not come with a tutorial.

However google works well for learning basketball principles.YouTube also has tons of tutorials on real game strategy. They all apply here. The choices available through the menu's are really pretty self explanatory. just take your time.I think we get used to things one way and expect them to work the same each game. We asked devs to give us more. It's there.

Shout out to Da Czar for doing it tho...

Re: New NBA 2K17 Patch: Expanded Dev Notes

This patch seems to have put the game back to where it was 1st released, before the patches and tunning updates.

It just feels like I have more control over my player, like it was right out of the box. So I hope you guys dont tune anything else with gameplay. Its definitely improved, to where I might actually take time out from MLBTS17 to play, typically once MLBTS is released each yr I give up on NBA2k.

You guys really earned more of my respect for continuing to work on this game this late into the yr. Thank you very much, for not moving on and saying oh well will fix that for next yr. Its much appreciated.

Re: New NBA 2K17 Patch: Expanded Dev Notes

Im still seeing alot of times guys leaving their opponent just up and running away from them to go attempt a double team, and sometimes its a guy that shouldnt be, when there is others closer to the ball carrier,

like a guy will all the sudden leave his guy to go help guard the guy with the ball, and then it leaves that other dude wide open, and sometimes im seeing guys look lost and not sure where to go away from the ball on D,

hmm so far seems the same to me.. but ive only been watching one game so far
