More NBA 2K17 MyCAREER Details

  09:39 AM - September 2, 2016 by Steve_OS

During the NBA 2K17 community event, the one item that was to remain under a strict embargo was any discussion about the new MyCareer mode.

After last year's Frequency Vibrations MyCareer story presented by Spike Lee, the NBA 2K team was focused on ways to improve the game's most played mode, and Jeff Thomas, VP for Visual Concepts, was ready to share all that is new this year in MyCareer.

As you likely know by now, on September 9 The Prelude will be available as a free download. Players can begin their MyCareer 11 days before the full release of NBA 2K17, and you'll be able to play a significant amount of MyCareer leading up to when you'll declare for the NBA Draft and start your NBA career.

No Duke for college? Coach K is on the game, he could have at least convinced Duke to participate. I would love to beat them in the National Championship game. Man, I guess you can't have everything.

Granted I play My League the most so it's probably more noticeable in a single player mode that the AI takes a considerable drop off. But Harden was very rarely aggressive enough to be considered a go to guy. He was the Kukoc to my Jordan at best. Hopefully this is looked into.

Always been an issue with the game indeed. The only way you could get your stars to be aggressive is through trying to set them up. Or putting AI call plays on auto. Which was often annoying to watch as everything looked like slow motion to me. Eitherway hope they fix it with their "new AI". It could totally turn the mode around this year with that alone.

Kinda obvious to me that whoever made the caps was envisioning Deandre Jordan type defender when a Gary Payton type defender is what is lockdown at the point.

Kinda pointless to have a super good steal and the pickpocket badge when pretty much handle the ball like Dwight Howard. They will just take it right back from you.
Definitely - for smaller pgs although to be fair. I believe the smaller you are you get boosts to lateral quickness - shot off dribble and another one. Same for weight it increases speed or strength I believe. Then you have bronze badges. And not to mention we don't know if strength might be more versatile this year. Not just for post offense or defense. Eitherway the build indeed looks weak at first glance. I just hope the devs knew what they were doing and it resulted on these stats. And well again we don't know the value of each stat cap so we will see. Let's hope for the best.

Yea I'm hoping the improvements to how plays are called and how ACE views game situations will really translate into my career just as well as it does in my league. Could definitely make for a great year in both modes

We can hope, but I think to be safe I will go with a Sharpshooting SG as close to a Reggie Miller clone as I can get. If I went pg I would go shot creator probably but I am old and slow so not sure I want to take a chance on the stickwork being too difficult. The badges for sharpshooter are really good and I think even with my old reflexes I can handle coming off a screens and dropping daggers.

If the new emote systems give me some nice animations like the Reggie choke sign I will be in heaven.

Yea that's one thing I thought was a bit unbalanced. Some playstyles have all great badges. Others have a few who don't seem as useful. But again is all about the "seems" part. Only 6 days away from prelude!.

Someone on twitch made a 7'3 stretch center. The 3s are 94 and rebounding is in the mid 70s. So I'm thinking maybe all sharpshooters/stretch players have all the same 3s regardless of position.

How can they max out attributes when the servers aren't up? (Can't earn VC to upgrade it).

One day, I hope, we will once again have a My Career that focuses on OUR player, can be truly offline with the full mode experience and allow for customer sliders.

You can see what the max is without spending VC, just like on last years game. just fill all the bars in, saw a stream and it was like 50 thousand to max 3pt and the ratings were low 90s.

My question is can you upgrade your player in the prelude or do you have to wait to full game to upgrade him and his attributes!

Yeah, I can't bring myself to buy a 2k game until this kind of career mode becomes an option. If it never does come back, oh well, plenty of other games to play...along with real basketball lol

Honestly as we have seen they have apparently improved a lot of things. So that might be sooner then we think. I think the thing with 2k is that it's always had to improve game play from year to year because there are always issues. If the game is better this year in that area then it may open up more time for them to focus on other things.

They have been focusing on it, by turning it into this scripted narrative.
 
# 96 HomelessPoet @ 09/04/16 03:15 AM
I'm sure this has been asked but do you need to pre order in order to play the prelude?

By focusing I mean adding options like the one mentioned.

A question regarding the Prelude that no one's brought up yet:

Is the Prelude a separate download? Like, do I have to manually go to the PlayStation Store, select it, and download it?
Or is it automatically downloaded as part of the main game that I've already pre-ordered?
Just making sure.

I seriously don't get why we have to be capped and why the insist on tying this to Park and Pro Am. Why can't they be separate modes? Jesus it's not that hard of a concept, just because people got pissy about people playing with 7'0 PGs doesn't mean you have to ruin it for everyone.
