New NBA 2K17 Patch: Expanded Dev Notes

[tril]

Thanks for the detailed info Czar. Ill revisit 2k17.

Nice. I really wasn't concerned with the amount of double teams just that it was often one pass away and there was no rotation on the weak side. Hopefully this is transferable to 2K18.

FWIW I only played with the Clippers, and I rarely dominated with 1 player so would rarely attract double teams. And I saw some defensive AI stuff from ACE that other dudes didnt see. I was loving it; it felt like I was playing a different game to others.

Czar can I suggest a short video clarifying some of the defensite settings for 2K18? Even now, there is dispute about what some do. Not the obvious ones, the ones that were added.

I think it's crazy that some users have some entitled expection that how to use "expert" settings should be provided. Thats what AUTO is for. There are expert settings on your computer/television/etc... that do not come with a tutorial.

However google works well for learning basketball principles.YouTube also has tons of tutorials on real game strategy. They all apply here. The choices available through the menu's are really pretty self explanatory. just take your time.I think we get used to things one way and expect them to work the same each game. We asked devs to give us more. It's there.

Shout out to Da Czar for doing it tho...

This patch seems to have put the game back to where it was 1st released, before the patches and tunning updates.

It just feels like I have more control over my player, like it was right out of the box. So I hope you guys dont tune anything else with gameplay. Its definitely improved, to where I might actually take time out from MLBTS17 to play, typically once MLBTS is released each yr I give up on NBA2k.

You guys really earned more of my respect for continuing to work on this game this late into the yr. Thank you very much, for not moving on and saying oh well will fix that for next yr. Its much appreciated.

Im still seeing alot of times guys leaving their opponent just up and running away from them to go attempt a double team, and sometimes its a guy that shouldnt be, when there is others closer to the ball carrier,

like a guy will all the sudden leave his guy to go help guard the guy with the ball, and then it leaves that other dude wide open, and sometimes im seeing guys look lost and not sure where to go away from the ball on D,

hmm so far seems the same to me.. but ive only been watching one game so far

Czar who controls the coaches contracts in myleague? That area could improve. Coach Pop going to the kings after one year is far from realistic. You guys hustling!

Some observation - I was playing the spurs and I had Gasol scored 8 pts in the 1st quarter. Ran PUNCH THRU and managed to get him the ball in the low post. Caught the ball and hold LT and checked what the AI defense was. Parker was on the strong side wing and his man didnt double team Gasol until he started the back the defender dribbling. As u know, Gasol has the championship DNA and I could see the two red circles coming. Gasol kicked it out back to Parker and scored a 3.

I didnt notice another AI defender coming over to cover Parker.

EDIT : Sorry this is pre-patch. I just realised when I turned on the game.

Great video.

I think something that confused me until I saw this was that it had the defensive and offensive player together on screen. I thought that this would manage only that matchup, and assumed when I had subs or moved guys around it would wig out and I would have to spend a few more minutes messing with it. You actually addressed this confusion directly in the video around 15 minutes in.

If you can suggest something to the art department, tell them to get rid of the "friendly" player and it will be a lot more intuitive imo
