Currently automatic. I'll see if we can patch in the Left stick check.
Just to follow up on this. My shots engineer was able to make this change. You'll only get the pump fake fouls if your Left Stick is pushing towards the blocker. It'll be patched in.

While we're talking about these kinds of adjustments, that reminds me:

THANK YOU for making the adjustment last year to scrimmage mode in MyLeague last year to allow users to select their freelance offense. I was the one who asked Czar about that because it gave players in the mode a way to use and learn his offensive sets. He wasn't sure if it could be patched in last cycle and it was.

Never had the opportunity to thank anyone but him directly about that, so thanks to your team on that.

Will we be able to zoom out the 2K camera setting far enough this year so that we can see the entire half court at all times?

When the ball was on the wing or in the corner in 2K16, you couldn't see what was happening on the other side of the court, even if you had the 2K camera zoomed out as far as possible.

Wow that's huge! Thank you so much for looking into that. Do me a favor and thank the shot engineer for taking the time to change that. I really appreciate it. Having user control over the pump fake fouls again is a great thing.

Awesome! Along these same lines, last year when a defender went airborn to block a shot the offensive player would get sucked in a contact animation that didn't allow the ball handler to seamlessly drive by..

Has this suction animation been removed in 2K17? If I get a defender in the air I should be able to drive right by un-evaded.

That would be great. Glad to hear it wasn't a coding issue. I think it's okay to make it a reward within MyCareer.. but outside of it, it should be accessible.

That's great to hear. Wish it would be ala 2K11 where you had to push LS into them and X. Seems more realistic to me instead of just going in their direction.

Mike, thank you for spending time to answer the questions here but could you please answer this as well? Will we be able to edit players in the Dream Team and play them in MyGM/MyLeague? Or will we only be able to play the Dream Team in Quick Game just like in 2K13?

1. Are mid air shot adjustments more responsive this year? Is there a way to trigger them on every layup? I could not trigger them in the air consistently in 2k16. They triggered randomly.

Thanks for that draw foul adjustment.

Mike, really cool of you to reach out to fans.

My question: are retro tv filters seen in "kicks" trailer in the game?

Also, any last minute changes to some of the body types? Everyone on team USA looks great, but others...not so much. Thanks.

Mr. Wang, thank you for taking the time to answer all these questions. More chatting with mature players like us is good for everyone.

Anyway, I know that isn't a gameplay question, but I don't know where else to ask this, and I'm a stickler on this sort of thing...

Does your last name rhyme with HANG or LONG? I've heard both used regarding you. Or do you not mind either one?

Likewise I would like to see a stadium broadcast camera that pans and swings for the major blindspots.
Pan it out until the offensive team passes halfcourt

I apologize if this has been asked/answered already, but will the custom jump shot tool be available in edit player as well as MyCAREER? Thanks!
 
# 454 LeonLeroy @ 09/02/16 08:09 PM
Customizable in game camera angle changes would be really, really cool. Set them up like you would quick plays. Designate offense angle, defense angle, fastbreak, post up, etc. With the tap of a button.

Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to do

Spin jumpers are back (RT/R2+ Double Tap Shot Button). You can also start a spin or half-spin with the Pro Stick and chain directly into a jump shot if you want.
Pretty imaginative combo...but can't envision bringing the shot stick back to neutral in order to time it with 12 or 6 o'clock angle pull back or up on the shot stick. Many users have pulled the stick at various directions to shoot but always needing to pull straight up or down may limit some creativity like the combo you just described no?

Lastly, is Right stick passing still in the game along with Rb? The reason many people refuse to convert to the shot stick shooting is because icon passing leading directly into a catch and shoot with the button is more intuitive and fluid than icon passing to shot stick catch and shoot imo. However, if right stick passing is still in the game then that finger coordination from button to button will seamlessly translate to stick to stick if that makes sense. Eagerly anticipating your reply and much respect for your community engagement the last few days.

He answered that just a few pages back. You won't have to look too far.

If Beluba is still around I would love to hear about this, I hate that using Broadcast gives me a huge disadvantage while playing online

I am curious how you know an "artificial attribute boost" is happening. Did you pause the game and check their attributes or something?
