Its amazing how something can look so underwelming and individuals think it looks great/amazing only because it's the "latest and greatest". I mean seriously, it looks very 2k16ish. Sliding, and the same inappropriate animations at times. But because it's new it must be 'amazing'? The level of self awareness and lack of a true opinion on here is ridiculous. Ppl only saying it's great BECAUSE they feel like that's what the should be saying and not because they are blown away.

IMO, I'm simply not impress. I'm actually more prepared for a letdown from what I've been seeing thus far.

I don't think you're right on this one, although what you're saying is certainly true with many new-released games. I really do feel that 2k17 has improved, although I haven't personally played it yet. The game just looks different from 2k16 and that's not based on the fact that this is the latest installation of the game.

Or perhaps that is exactly how they feel. Maybe you are just being negative for the sake of it, I don't know that for sure so it wouldn't be prudent of me to accuse of that outright.


Its only my opinion but I think you should stop guessing how people think and feel.


The game does look amazing though.

You're just one of those people that hate on anything 2k does just for the sake of looking "cool" huh?

Makes zero sense from a marketing perspective. When everyone complained about a lack of news they always said "we do this every year." Waiting tell after release is definitely not the norm so they bs'd us on that.

I'm reminded of what happened to Commodore, the computer company.

They released the very best computers for their time, including the best-selling computer model of all time, the Commodore 64.

Their last model, the Amiga, was quite far ahead of what PCs and Macs could do at the time...and few people in the US bought it, because by then, their marketing department was complete trash.

Complete trash in the US, that is.

Australia was a different story...



Or maybe I just needed an excuse to spread that super-catchy jingle. Who knows.

Anyway, my game's downloading now! HYPE!

Everyone's praising the good things, which are many, and nobody saying there was a lot of discouraging stuff from this stream.
I might appear as the negative type, but I just can't unsee what I didn't like:
- just let OG and Czar play instead of those two bofoons. That's the way we could get REAL insights from a gameplay standpoint.
- Staples Center audience in full light. So much for the arena authenticity they so much boasted.
- the AI coach subbing in Minnesota's starting lineup with less than a minute in the 4th while being up by 20+.
- animations aren't that improved TBH. During the Raptors-Pacers game, Al freaking Jefferson had 2 steps PLUS a 2-step gather basically going from the free throw line to a dunk.
- Cory Joseph standing out of bounds causing a turnover when the ball got
passed to him....
- Ronnie throwing the ball off the back of the backboard during an after the basket inbound from the baseline.

Basically I saw much of the same of 2k16.

Bit of a reach there.
