NBA 2K17 News Post

Last year, you “Lived the Dream.” This year you experienced your “Prelude” to greatness. Both of these modes in Visual Concepts’ NBA 2K franchise were supposed to acclimate and immerse you into the game’s premier mode, MyCareer. Both years had you assume a player whose visage and role you could create, but whose persona was already determined via the story mode crafted by Visual Concepts. I’m not here to talk about the merits of last year’s “movie of the week” presentation (personally, I liked it) or this year’s evolved version that grants you much more control over your player during your rookie NBA season.

I’m here to talk about something else. Just like last year, your guy. You. The President of basketball, aka Pres, flat out SUCKS!

IMO, as bad as the storyline aspect is, the gameplay/A.I. for mode is actually much, much worse.

My main problem is Justice. Not as a addition to the game but more that he is so good and takes away one starting spot. I mean if you are a PG and move to OKC or the Clippers for example, Westbrook and CP3 get send to the bench which is ridiculous! Who would want that? It ruins MyCareer for me this year.

My problem with Justice is that, from an attribute standpoint, is better than you can possibly make your player.

He has close to Sharpshooter's shooting ability. He has Playmaker levels of ball control. He can finish almost like Slasher. He has max defensive stats.

It fills like a slap in the face from 2K. They decide to give you restrictive caps, then they give us a created teammate that laughs at those caps.

I have no desire to use my player online, all i want is start as a decently rated player and choose my own parameters of playing the game (heck, i would even enjoy being able to limit my potential to improve).
I love this comment... Although I enjoy the cut scenes they give the mode a bit of immersion... They just need to come up with a better more relatable story line.

I don't understand it either. The rating you start with is terrible, when you can see players like Simmons, Ingram and Kris Dunn rated more than 70 and 75, yet you're the worst in the first round and still get picked in the lottery.
Why is Justice better than you, when he goes undrafted? Isn't it your player who should be better?
And when you get doubleteamed, you can pass it to Justice, who's WIDE open and got amazing 3PT shot and he still misses 50%. His defense is rated 99 in my game, but I still see Klay, Kyrie, Dwayne Wade and even flippin' J.R. Smith dropping him like he was a fly.
It makes no sense, it's sad to think about.

I have to say I totally agree, at first I was excited for mycareer and saw I was a 50 overall. I was like okay I can grind and get him decent. I play on HOF I'm not amazing but I do okay, my guy is averaging 7 points, shooting 40 percent, average 4 assists, and 4 rebounds a game, turnovers are high with 2. Now I don't think I should be able to enter the NBA and dominate everyone but when I enter the game and can't nail an open shot without putting VC in then its annoying. I was supposed to be one of the best players in college.

You choose an arch type and even that skill isn't NBA ready I would be okay if I started low 60s and say I made myself a sharpshooter I had good shooting ability, but no. After awhile the grind doesn't feel worth it.

Oh and lets not mention that Justice starts off better as you, but so does Denver... In MyCareer on the bucks Denver is actually the starter, he averages 22 minutes I get 25. I don't know his numbers off hand but I saw the other game I played me and him tied with points at 16.. I had the better +/- though

All I wanted to do is create an international player from Hong Kong and become the next Yao Ming. The past two years, I'm unable to do that because I'm being forced into their crappy stories. Why am I forced to be black? Why can't I be Asian? Do they not know that every race plays this game too?
