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

12:00 PM - August 31, 2016 by RaychelSnr

I had the chance to visit the studios at 2K this week and get an advance sneak peak of NBA 2K17. For full disclosure the trip was paid for entirely by the folks at 2K.

The first thing I want to tell you about NBA 2K17? It has nothing to do with the game itself directly, and everything to do with the people who work on this game year-round.

The wonderful folks at 2K Games, and specifically the team members I met in San Francisco on Tuesday afternoon -- Ronnie, Jeff Thompson, Erick Boenisch, Mike Wang, Ryan Peters, Chris, Czar, and many others -- are folks who are incredibly passsionate about their craft and the game they are producing. They were very welcoming and displayed a lot of that passion while describing what NBA 2K17 is bringing to consoles this year.

While I plan to dive a lot deeper into the topics I'll share below in the coming days, I wanted to at least get some of the nitty gritty out for folks to see and to begin discussing...

Thank you for this. I want to make it as clean as possible, but dang, admittedly this was a rushed piece to get it up for you all. We'll edit it now.

Question for you: How many expansion team uniforms are we granted? Are they going to hold us to just two (like they did for relocated teams last year)?

If they didn't explicitly talk about it, I'll take a gut feeling if you got one.

Much thanks and kick*ss piece of work, that was the kind of info dump I was looking for.

Is there any additional classic teams this year? ('01 bucks)

# 84 antdoggydogg @ 08/31/16 02:28 PM

Hey Mike, do POE's (Points of Emphasis) still exist?

# 85 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 08/31/16 02:29 PM

So you can fully edit your jumpshots this year ? That's cool if so .

You don't need to back out of any screens to edit a roster--an entire team is available in one list/page.

Great GREAT news all around. Now I just need to hear 2K added commentary to ProAm. Again not to sure on the changes to shooting and meters for layups. Will just have to see. Also hope those rule changes can be turned off especially in MyCareer.

So 2K is charging 20-40 extra bucks for some MT cards that are basically a trial? Seems like a good idea can't wait to see all the happy people when they learn this

What a bummer I watch and play NHL games and don't really follow the NBA. When I look at the NHL features and then this....man.

Bah lighting wasn't something I noted much on, but it was definitely mentioned yesterday (one of the first things). I was really trying to focus on the changes and wasn't noting much during that part.

It's there though.

LD2k said Pro AM has all of the crew elements in it so I would assume commentary is back.

Although it took them 5-6 years crew is back and it might be better than ever #trusttheprocess lol

Thanks, but those YouTubers are passionate! They'll also know more of the ultra-intricate parts of the game as they play it a lot more than I do.

Really? If that's true we should have team rosters as well. I am ready for this year just concerned about this push for shooting w/ the analog.
