The 2K development team traveled to all 30 NBA arenas to record and analyze the different sounds exclusive to each arena. Logging thousands of miles to bring you the most authentic experience in a sports game ever, watch how each arena in NBA 2K17 will have it's own flavor and be more realistic than ever before.
I was glad to read we may finally see the Bucks and Knicks courts fixed (also, if you're reading this LD2K, the Brooklyn Nets court needs work too).
Speaking of the Knicks though, is it me or do their road jerseys look way off this year? Kind of mind-boggling really, cause I thought they looked great in 2K16. I only just watched that Knicks @ Warriors video and I swear those look like the Phoenix Suns to me.
The whole time I was sitting here watching this video I was just like.....okayyy....
It's cool, I guess, but...I don't know.
Authentic to me, means the 2011 playoff run arena sounds from the Sixers should be gone. And their nets need to be turned up really loud. I don't know why, but compared to other arenas when there's a swish or a dunk you can really hear the net noises.
As far as audio is concerned, the crowd needed a lot of work along with dunks and rim noises...also commentary in Pro-Am but that's separate (maybe.)
The fact that you are speculating so much tells you all you need to know
The communication is not as great as they might think.
I'm fully on board with you that they missed to boat with marketing this year. Still will be a great game, but I don't think it's great to jam all this stuff so close together.
Rockets/Warriors gameplay was pretty good. I can definitely see the new lighting effects and it looks amazing. Curry's body looks awful, considering his body was damn near perfect last year imo. His arms arms are way too damn skinny when his arms are pretty defined in real life.
Unfortunately, I'm still seeing players dribble and catch the ball through defenders bodies and that's a damn shame. I don't think it was ever this bad in last gen. Another, thing I noticed was that the CPU does less of those idiotic bail out fouls that they did last year and that's honestly huge for me.
That combined with the improved transition D, increased player awareness and removal of the defensive assist off LT will make this game about 50 times less stressful to play than 2K16.
EDIT: The switching is also much better, quicker and decisive. Last year the CPU was so damn slow and uncertain of when and how to switch.

You're right, the Knicks uniforms were fine in 2K16. Too dark now, not even close to the royal blue the team uses. The orange looks off too, but that could be due to how dark the blue is
