NBA 2K17 Features Improvements Across The Board, Here's 75 of Them

[The 24th Letter]

Quote:

Literally, every single court now has unique audio for a ball dribble based on the stadium being played in. We heard the difference, and while subtle, it's one of the most remarkable attention-to-detail items I've ever seen in gaming. • Arena horns, although similar are all unique across the NBA. Again, a montage showed the subtle differences. • Commentary has been expanded upon in ways unheard of in sports gaming with dynamic commentary booths. • NBA 2K17 now has a total of 11 commentators. Some are familiar faces -- such as Kevin Harlan, Greg Anthony, Shaq and Ernie -- while others are new, including Brent Berry, Steve Smith, Doris Burke, Chris Webber, and David Aldridge. The commentary team is based geographically, so depending on which arena you're playing in, you'll hear from different commentary teams.

I know we already knew some of this, but this is crazy..... Go ahead and let us see that montage for ourselves, 2k

Not to be a jerk, but. . .

His team had lots of new features, all built around the core tenants of "innovation, authenticity, and engagement." He mentioned how if something does not fit all three of those expectations, it's not being added into the game.

The word is "tenets." There's no one paying rent here.

For example, the Wizards always play John Wall, the entire first and third quarter and sit him for the first 4-6 minutes of the second and fourth. It was impossible to replicate that in 2k16. Now it seems possible.

It was a constant struggle getting the right guys in and out at the right times.

You can also customize your tier, teams to play against, etc., however this could increase wait times. Of course, the less selective you are, finding a match should can be something that's instantaneous. Dynamic uniform updates. Offseason trading that takes into account many pending factors for a team such as free agency plans, who the team plans to draft, etc. Easier roster/draft class editing -- can now edit an entire roster at once on one screen, not player by player. New off-ball collision system. Now gives post players tools with 700 animations between deny and off-ball posts. "Battle before the battle is now here." Can grab, pull, chuck, and fouls will even be called during these times at the proper time.

Hey quick questions for all myGm and MyLeague'rs out there

Expansion draft- if we start with an expansion team, the expansion draft occurs before the season starts, and then we can fully build our teams through the entry draft starting the following year? Or do we get Expansino draft and Extry draft before we start our first season?

No info about the crowed or Arena atmosphere, and no info on In Game Injuries yet

"The CBA Will expire bringing changes..." My goodness! That might be too realistic! Bravo 2K, Bravo. Dudes over there working their tails off and cats in here talking about neck length... Lol.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

The 2K guys must spend like zero time at home each day. I'm blown away by these changes.

And finally my prayers for protected picks and staggered rotations have been answered.
