NBA 2K17 Dynamic Commentary Trailer

[Peninc]

I'm going to say it. This is the best trailer in NBA 2K history.

Unless 2k knows something we don't. Really not feeling this dark blue...

I am worried about some gameplay I saw in the trailer. The contact dunk by Butler is an old animation that the user gets sucked into and is completely non-organic. The and 1 layups made in the paint were weak fouls and a couple looked like last year when the game just decided what was happening after a button press. I hated how the game would give you or your opponent so many free points by auto triggering fouls and contact animations. Also the on the Bledsoe drive and dunk, the user sprints straight up the sideline as far as he can go then takes almost a 90 degree turn to get a free dunk. This is an old tactic from past years because it is hard to user control the defender opening up properly and cutting off the lane. So is defense better/different, or more of the same? This year the motto is skills matter and that is what I am craving for. This trailer's gameplay looked like a lot of the same from years past. Great looking animations and moments but animations taking the control from the players and helping dictate circumstances. 2k16 played at the highest level really is not basketball, it is more about how to trigger certain animations and events that will get your players open or force fouls.

I agree, and don't get me started on that garbage Rondo stumble step at 1:34. That's the kind of stuff that got me off of last year's game, way too much canned animation for me.

Mike Wang's gameplay blog was like a love letter to my heart, hoping to see most of that stuff come to fruition in the game.

Yes, I'm impressed. When the leaks came out and said they had 11 commentators I thought they meant sideline reporters. Didn't think they would go and record multiple commentary teams. Amazing work here by 2K.

Played FIFA, The Show and 2K. Who are they kidding? If FIFA and the Show are the standard then their standards must be low cause 2K is superior in gameplay, presentation and features compared to FIFA and the Show.

Am I the only one that doesn't like 2k's commentary?

I love that they are adding multiple broadcast "teams" (even though they will all feature Kevin Harlan), but the play-by-play commentary is something I've been hoping they would work on since I started playing the game.



Watching a real-life broadcast, they have their side-conversations and talk about off-court things, but transition to what's in front of them when something actually happens on the court. There's more focus on the game and less on back story.

In 2k, it feels more like a radio show where they occasionally see a clip from an NBA game; there's a lot of banter but very little focus on what's happening on the court. It really breaks the immersion.

You would think they just could backwards engineer ESPN 2K5.
