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

  11:00 AM - 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...

Yeah, I seen that. I should've clarified more. Let's say someone is running w/ 3 players and not 5. The OG Crew you picked a NBA team roster. So if I wanted a defensive rebounding center at big, I'll go w/ the clippers roster. Not a big deal though, just like that more than random generated players. Happy we actually have roster spots though.

It's absolutely possible that I couldn't write fast enough to keep up the names being mentioned, and the two Smith's being mentioned had me miss Kenny.

Most elements - not all. I really am glad we got Team Rosters back with 10 people - owner doesn't need to be present for team to play this year, either.

If we do an expansion draft, does the entry draft take place right after- with the draft including Simmons and Ingram, or will it be a draft of generated players before the season starts aswell?
I actually think you can do either or, but I know for sure you can at least use the real guys and redraft.

Can you confirm if there's commentary for Pro-am?

It's funny because I was so exhausted (and my ride to the airport was waiting for me and kept calling my cell), but when it came time to play, I just sort of stared and watched the others. 2K's Ryan Peters actually stepped in and (very politely) and grabbed me a spot so I could play, but I was truthfully just enjoying watching. That was the first time I ever touched an XBONE controller, so any sort of feedback I provide on the 5 minute quarter I played wouldn't really be fair. I was wiped--felt like I just took the ACT or something after all of the note-taking I had just done.

Jrocc posed a good question what if I go in with a 3 man squad? If it's two guards and a small forward will we be significantly undersized compared to our match up like last year? Or will the generated players compensate for our lack of size or even better will we be able to pick a roster to fill out our squad?

Glad to see y'all devs here. Where is Czar and OG lol?

I've seen that. If you can answer, is commentary back in? I believe it was you or someone else from 2K say you guys tried to get it in 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.
My gut is that you'll probably have a few slots for custom jerseys, but I am 100% speculating.

Wasn't mentioned, but at the very least, I'd say it's tied into this whole new assistant coach feature which is way cooler sounding and more purposeful anyway.

I'm almost positive the option exists to turn this off entirely for MyLeague.

My thoughts exactly, outside of probably OOTP and FM. Too many hares and not enough tortoises.

I am as well. Can't see 2K forcing the rules to change in your MyLeague where almost everything is customizable.

I do hope that it's not always Greg Anthony & Harlan / Burke + 3rd one for support, but it makes sense to have one as the main who spent the most time in the booth recording lines with Harlan. Sounds like Kellogg is officially out!
Personally, I hope that each broadcast team is unique. I'm burnt out on Kevin Harlan after hearing him for 10+ years now. He just doesn't deliver lines like he does in real life; it just doesn't sound natural to me. I've been hoping for a new commentary team for a few years now.

We didn't see it in action entirely, but from what they told us, yes...and more.

Is there anything new to CAP offline, like... tattoos, goggles, signature jumpshot celebrations?

Also, is it really just Team USA, Dream Team and Australia in the game?

Hey now....they bought that back? 2k1 had a button where you would literally throw elbows after a rebound. Fond memory of virtual Karl Malone throwing bows in the game.

That's what I want see. The manual controlled celebrations. Hopefully you can pick from current players celebrations. Would be too sick to hit a clutch 3 and manually give them the

For that reason...I think I'll reserve my judgement for now.
HAHA. I'm with you brother. Same thing every year and I've learned to reserve judgement till I play because at the end of the day, I play the game and I decide if I like it or not.

Pre-ordered! VERY excited about the MyGM/MyLeague stuff...

The talented guys need to make some great expansion teams for us to DL ASAP!
