NBA 2K17 Player Ratings & Screenshots (More Added as They Are Revealed)

[Gilley]

Yay. Now we're creating conspiracies.

All you're gonna get with the new PS4 is better anti aliasing, better framerate maybe a better resolution and that's about it. Game will look sharper, and will be smoother. Other than that it will be the exact same game.

But honestly even if they could (wich they canno't in such a short cyle) they would have no interest in releasing the perfect (authentic NBA sounds, 100% accurate body models, authentic arena specific lighting etc etc) basketball game this year. That's why I'am doubtful we're getting great sound effects this year, they haven't emphasized that at all.

That is a completely ludicrous post that you quoted, Gab.

They have financial and time constraints that limit what can be added and fixed. People need to realize that these are video games that involve a ton of programming and other technical stuff that takes large amounts of time. Fixing one thing could in fact screw up some other aspect of the game.

They have come a long way since last gen alone visually, but clearly the community doesn't want them to "rest on their laurels," but people need to also understand that they are human and changes/improvements take time.

But I guess I'll just assume they didn't have time to fix the colors.

Yeah body models could be accurate, it doesn't need more ressources. This one's on the art team nothing or nobody else. I'am definately good with what they've done this year though as I'am not super into that.

So, 2K gave Seth Curry a crazy skinny frame in 2K17. Do you think had they given him a bigger body (like in real life) it would mess up other aspects of the game? Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. How come giving him a super skinny body doesn't mess with other aspects of the game?

Messing with frame rates, textures...stuff like that...that can affect other things.

How were they able to add a face mask and new hair on D-Rose last year.... in a PATCH?? That didn't screw up the game.

They aren't "excuses," but the reality of them programming a video game. Time, expenses, labor and other issues are going effect what can and can't be addressed. Now, I say that also hoping that they can fix some of if not all of these issues before release or through patches.

What I won't do is pretend their job is easy, that they are "incompetent" or that they are "lazy."

Video game programming is probably very difficult and especially when you have deadlines to make. And have to work with a group of people instead of addressing issues on your own.

If 2K were resposible for that, Neil's speech would've been cut off mid sentence and this would pop up...
