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...

Did they clean up the "on the fly sub" it was totally confusing last year in the beginning, because there was no "feedback" be it in color or audio to let you know your edit took place.

The "on the fly" play calling OSD is it the same? do we still call plays the same way or has it been improved upon?

What does that even mean? Last year the Park "revenue" was VC... which already carried over to Pro Am. So are they talking about Rep???

I don't even know how they have enough time, talent and manpower to make this type of stuff happen. I'm actually blown away by this information and definitely didn't expect to be. I might as well sell Madden 17 while it's still worth something bc I can already see myself spending time in every single mode this year! Wow! Great job 2k!

Custom jumpshots are back?

"NBA 2K17 now has a total of 11 commentators. Some are familiar faces -- such as Kevin Harlan, Greg Anthony, Shaq and Ernie -- while others are new, including Brent Berry, Steve Smith, Doris Burke, Chris Webber, and David Aldridge. The commentary team is based geographically, so depending on which arena you're playing in, you'll hear from different commentary teams."

Amazing 2k

making history

Okay? If the dev decides to answer that he answers.

People are going to ask questions that they want to know about the game. Don't see how it's selfish. That might be make or break for HIM.

More common would be changes to the shot clock timer, back clock timer, etc. Eventually, every few years, your league's CBA will eventually expire, and then you'll see big changes to the finances within your league. This is a quite unique feature, and something typically only seen in rare sport text simulations such as Out of the Park Baseball's "random league evolution." Don't get my wrong, it sounds amazing. But I'm just wondering if we can override those changes or make the changes ourselves. I suppose if you control every team you probably vote for every team?

I dislike people bumping their posts as much as the next guy, but I feel like this is a pretty important one that I didn't see answered.

Good features just wished they added year to year saves for my league/gm. But a definitely buying

# 131 DBMcGee3 @ 08/31/16 03:21 PM

Damn, thought I was going to save myself $60 this year, then they drop this sh!t on me, lol.

# 132 mongo13clikke @ 08/31/16 03:23 PM

Enough leaks, infos etc 2k, show us how the game plays actually...

# 133 DIRK41NOWITZKI @ 08/31/16 03:25 PM

Does anyone know if Create a Team is in this year?

# 134 jattnanga @ 08/31/16 03:26 PM

Looking pretty good so far. Can't wait to hear more.

Really glad I just ordered a new X1 controller now, cause it looks like a bad thumbstick with drift could be devastating with all the increased control on both sides of the ball.

# 135 sifu25 @ 08/31/16 03:27 PM

Please, Please, Someone with knowledge Please tell me we can Add/Remove Headbands from Edit Player Screens on rosters. I am begging for someone to please tell me this feature is back...

# 136 swac07 @ 08/31/16 03:28 PM

I believe so. I think I simply noted this part down using the wrong term.

They always put out the features first in written form so that when you do get to see the videos you start to see things that might not really be there. They mentioned "smooth transitions" but we'd never notice that without them telling us first. So are they really smoother or are our brains telling us that because of what we read previously.

Also I can't wait for "coaching intangibles."

I asked about this, but never got a chance to ask the franchise mode guys about it, who apparently are the guys I should have been asking about it.

Personally, and pure speculation, I'd be shocked if it's not in for next year. Shocked.

# 140 JohnnyCash2015 @ 08/31/16 03:42 PM

How about the amnesty clause and the stretch provision, or those things that my pop up when the CBA expires?
