NBA 2K17 Hands-On Impressions, Players Have Full Control of What They See (Uproxx)

[JAY_D1]

UPROXX has posted their NBA 2K17 hands-on impressions and talk about the controls and the importance of your stick skills this year. They also go over the new shot aiming system.

Quote:

“Let’s say you start this little cool move and you want to break out at that moment in time,” Jones says. “The animation had launched and there were specific branch points where you could get out, but as a user, you wanna get out when you want to get out. This year, we took all of that — what we felt like — canned stuff and was (sic) like look: ‘as a user, you can still recreate it.’ The animations that make up that guy’s dribble package, are signature. But if you wanna create that situation that he specifically does, it’s on your stick skills.” That emphasis on a user’s “stick skills,” specifically how they’re able to move their player in a fashion similar to how they would in real life, is now augmented. You are controlling all of the player’s movements instead of just most of them. There’s no jumping off point where you’re left the manipulations of what they’ve already programmed for that player at that time in the game. Most games only do release stuff on jump shots. Jones compared it to pulling a bow and arrow: you pull it back to the right tension and then release it. That release timing has always been there for NBA 2K jump shots, but now they’ve added aim, so “you can actually aim left-right on the shots.”

Go read it for yourself, talks about stick skills being tested. As well as it seems we will be able to break out of animations whoever we want.

This was already posted a few mins before me.. Not sure how to delete..

Can't lie this got me hyped

If the examples of the ability to control EXACTLY how you finish at the rim aren't just hyperbole, I'm looking forward to using the smaller PG's this year.

Can't wait for the FIFA player to tell us about it this week.

I am definitely intrigued about how this is going to play out. From the sounds of it I can definitely see myself spending time in practice mode trying to perfect it.

Looks like their will be an advantage to using the shot stick as opposed to button only

Yup, and that's why I'm going to have to hit practice mode because I usually am a button shooter. Might have to try mixing it up this year.
