NBA 2K17 Twitch Stream - 2 Full Games (Ronnie2K vs. LD2K) - Archive Available

Really liked seeing all the fouls being called, hope that translates to playing offline against the CPU without having to crank foul sliders all the way up to see fouls being called close to how it is IRL. Hoping to see looseball and over the back fouls more this year along with charges.

Also like seeing that you can force the ball into the paint, and from playing the prelude it doesnt seem you can force dribble into the paint either. Last yr in 16 it was improved from previous years, and looks like its been improved even more this yr, so good to see.

The game overall just looks improved a quite a bit, and thats impressive with such a short development cycle this time around. Just hope the game isnt full of bugs with such a shot dev cycle, as thats my biggest concerned on buying it day1, but Im putting my faith in the fact that with last yr being so good, and with the quality of the devs that make this game it will be a great game out of the box.

Always love watching Ronnie and Chris play every yr, and Im sure its hard to concentrate on playing while trying to talk. I know when my wife is bugging me when Im playing I usually screw up, so Ill give them a pass on how they played, especially Chris, as I cant imagine he is really that bad if,lol.

Did we get an explanation as to why Staples center still isn't dark?

Here are the on the fly defensive adjustments:

Scott said these take the place of the old POE's and have a much more noticeable effect than they used to. Near the end of the stream he said we not only have these team concepts, but also the same concepts on the individual player level. I'm really interested to see what all defensive settings we have in the menus this year.

He also mentioned that they tried to make everything that ACE was doing under the hood available through menu options so we can build our own defensive strategies.

Hopefully all of this is available in scrimmage mode this year so we can really lab it out.

Edit:

I'm not sure if this has been confirmed or not yet, but we also caught a glimpse of the quick plays being available for all players instead of just being determined by ratings. Bring up the play call menu, select the player you want using the icons, and the first page will be the quick plays.

I went back and grab a lot of Scott's A.I. notes didn't touch the park, pro am or team stuff just ACE notes.

Scott Notes from Stream

1. 19m29s Brand New Switching Animations for you X's & O's heads(switching screens)

2. 20m52s Over 700 off-ball animations

3. 21m40s Transition Off/Def re-written guys getting back in tandem.New concept this year “Back Flow” getting to their assignments on the same side of the floor

4. 23m26s You can control the type of “help D” off of drives/dives

5. 26m40s Consulted with 26 NBA teams in ref. to “ACE”. Adaptive Coaching Engine now has over
6,000 adjustments which will be getting updated throughout the year.

7. 28m43s Extended Pressure option is in the game for end-user

8. 30m9s Scott's Custom Camera(WINNERS WIN) on display, which is a blend of 2Kcam and Broadcast.

9. 43m45s Player Awareness “what he can and can not see”

10. 47m07s Signature “hedges” e.g. Draymond Green and Guard to Guard Switches

11. 48m37s All new changes to PnR Def. all new concepts to if I'm back

12. 51m Help defense sliders are back

13. The Majority of “ACE” options are now available to the End-User to architect your own D

14. 55m37s “Smart Coach” asst. coach has own animations on the bench he's charting the game and will offer advice during time outs based on the flow and situation of the game.

15 56m27 Lou Will drove the Lane, KG had Randall in the corner and he provided Help D bailing on Randall because he can't shoot, Scott states if there was a better shooter KG would have more than likely stayed home.

16. 58m29s 30 total freelance offenses, formation recognition.

17. 59m33s Difficulty Matters you will not get the full experience of the A.I/ACE unless you play on SuperStar and above according to Scott. Why leave out AllStar?

18 1h11m59s Lots of offensive double team logic for spacing

19. 1h18m44s “Mismatches” in the Post, they added over a hundred new walk down animations, different off ball post ups for size mismatch

20. 1h31m4s New on Focus option “Stay Home” which means no help D and “JUNK” shows man then converts to zone


21. 1h49m20s Points of Emphasis are now ACE packages. The ACE packages are more specifically defined, they are now on the “TEAM” and “INDIVIDUAL” level

22. 1h49m45 Players will get a boost based on the coaches Rating based on his strength. So if you come fro D'antoni to Nate Mc you will get a ratings boost.

People can't be serious acting like its the end of the world that a developer blog won't come out before the game drops.

You're buying it anyway and that's not going to stop you.

I'm sure your entire videogame collection is full of purchases that were made without a developer blog. Get serious.

It's a shame what 2K threads have turned into.

Looked like 'Game Style' has been removed. No casual/default/sim.

Yeah, it also looks like there's a Custom difficulty now.

I guess they merged the sliders into the difficulty setting this year?
Hopefully it stays tuned to realistic FG%'s throughout the year.
