NBA 2K17 MyCAREER Blog with Senior Producer Ben Bishop

Oh yea one big question I forgot. Will it be easier to sim through seasons without missing off days? Last year if we simmed the game before an off day we couldn't participate in the off day immediately following the game that we simmed. So it was either play the game or miss a practice. I thought this was unnecessarily penalizing people that want to get through their career fast. I want to actually finish a full 15-20 year career this year but things like that made it difficult. Please tell me that's changed.

I did, but that didn't tell us that you could make the national team or not. For all we know that call just takes you through a form of 2KU and with word out that Australia is the only other national team in the game, it's not sounding too good for making team USA

This all sounds great, but the biggest concern for me is teammate AI. Part of the fun of joining a team is getting to play with your favorite players. There's a lot of potential lost for this mode when the AI players no longer play like their real life counterparts. There are a few moments in games where the AI plays really well, the ball is moving and for a second it's like you're playing with other people, and you're a part of something rather than having the whole team rotate around you.

I'd love to see that be the norm of the mode and if and when we get to the point where we're dominant, it's part of a journey where we go from a complementary player to the kind of guy that plays WITH complementary players.

These are two aspects of the mode that have been inexplicably sub par. We already know that the crappy nicknames are still present, but hopefully at least the gameplay and coaching A.I. has been exponentially improved.

I more than likely won't touch MyCareer after the prelude.

With that said, this sounds awesome. Happy for those that do play the mode.
