NBA 2K17

Also, the top 4 guys on the Warriors are rated 90+. Iggy is an 83.

Cavs, LeBron is the only 90+. Kyrie was an 89 to start, maybe just got bumped up to 90 I don't remember. But Kevin is an 82? You are telling me Kevin Love is worse than Iggy? Kevin Love should at least be an 85. And JR is only a 77? JR should be 80-83 range.

Their staff is so inconsistent. Last year, Kev started at an 86 I believe, after a lackluster year 1 in CLE. He plays pretty well, has a heck of a playoff run as a 3rd option, and his stats go down. Typical 2k.

Haven't touched this game in weeks.

Sure I'll get back into it eventually.

You have similar complaints to quite a few people after the last series of patches. After we win the WS, I will give a few tips to defend on ball.

As for digital...almost never buy digital, especially sports.

I don't know if I will have the same issues if I play against another actual player online. But in that scenario, I'm a lot more worried about the lag. I think I would really enjoy playing The Park and Pro Am. But I still don't want to go through the grind and there is no way I'm spending a lot of money on VC to make it happen. 2k should be giving me money back if anything. I don't particularly enjoy My Career, never have. So quite a conundrum there. I've played MyTeam, but you don't get VC from it, and I like MyTeam except for the fact the MT you do get never goes a long way. The packs are so freakin expensive and the odds you get a good player is very low it's likely all the time getting MT is for nothing. And the fact you don't get VC means all that time doesn't help you a bit in MyCareer so it is always pick and choose and about impossible to be good at both. It is probably smarter to just buy players with the MT, but for the really good ones that you actually want to play with, that is impossible. This game caters to the cheaters or people who buy everything with real money.

Even the times I like to mess around in MyGm, it has problems that make the game so much less enjoyable. My main one, players complaining about their role on the team every 2 weeks, and then you have to baby them and change their role. Whether you do or don't, it always effs team chemistry in the process. Because then someone else will complain. Which results in many more losses. Which results in failing goals (and there is always a goal chemistry based). And the player that complains is always someone that isn't that good which makes it worse. I usually just trade them on the spot, but then someone else always takes that place. It has nothing to do with real personalities, just random crap you can't escape. I started one yesterday, it happened in like the first two weeks, I got so pissed I just deleted the whole file. It is annoying. I've swore I've turned off team chemistry in the past and it didn't matter. Maybe this year you can turn that off, I will have to look closer into it.


TL;DR: 2k has made all of their game modes a pain in the ass and more trouble than they are worth.

Worst 2K installment since 2K14, and that was really, really bad.

Online isn't even worth playing between all of the cheesers and lag. Can't wait for MLB The Show 17.

Play MyLeague. I like the RPG elements MyGM attempts to add but the extra control you give up in comparison to myLeague makes in unplayable in my opinion. All the things you complained about like player morale and chemistry can be controlled both in terms of difficulty to maintain and as well as effects on player performance. I don't hear many people talk about it but it's by far the most polished mode in the game in my opinion.

I did switch to My League when I was messing around with the game modes the other day. I forgot about it. It seems to be much better.

Just got on 2k for the first time in months. Played quick match online game vs the Warriors. I think my opponent was actually decent, but I was still owning him. It was hilarious.

LeBron got in foul trouble and picked up 2 fouls in like the first minute of the game so I had to take him out. Then Kyrie broke Steph's ankles and made him fall animation as I hit the jumper on him. But he probably thought I would be toast without LeBron. Well, Tristan freaking Thompson finished with 30+ points and about 15 boards before he quit in the 4th. He was dunking on Green left and right. Kyrie finished with like 15 and 10. LeBron had a triple double or close to it.

But the funniest thing was I put Kay Felder in during like the 2nd or 3rd quarter with Kyrie and LeBron on the bench. And Kay came in and owned Steph. Wasn't even trying to. He got an offensive rebound and put back. He forced Steph into missing every shot he took and stole it from him once. Kay finished with like 8 points in a 2 minute stretch.

I wish I could have saved a replay of the whole game, it was satisfying stuff. He was decent because he was within like 7 in the 3rd quarter before I blew him out in the 4th and won by 26 before he quit. But I just straight humiliated him the whole game and wasn't even trying to. LeBron didn't even have to play, TT and Felder were clowning him. Steph getting his ankles broke by Kyrie, Klay and Draymond had an airball three, Green got dunked on viciously, like best dunks I've seen in the game, about 5 times by TT. Kay shutting down Steph etc. Man, I should have saved it.

My game keeps freezing at the loading screen.

Had to go to manage game and delete recent files. Looks like I'm gonna have to do this every time.

Impossible to defend in this game, and I can't do any post moves anymore.. Seems like gameplay changed a lot

Mine did that yesterday for some reason and ive heard of a handful of other people experiencing this as well. Its patch related. I expect whatever it is to be removed.

Defense takes time, but once you master it + combine it with the settings adjustment for your type of play, youll jump into the top 20% of 2k gamers easily.

I don't know what you mean by settings adjustments. Seems lame that I'll have to make adjustments to the settings just to defend

In settings there is an option for "defense assist strength." I have mine at 20%. Its the amount the AI helps when you hold the left trigger to defend.

Also, in that same menu, there is the option to "always contest" which I turned on and seems to help get a hand up when I wouldnt always be fast enough to do it. As long as your close to the opponent youll get a shot contest.

So I deleted files and the game still won't fucking load...

Korver has been on the roster in an update since yesterday. I played a couple of games with him online. I killed both people I played. One dude was the Cavs, the old Cavs vs Cavs matchup. His jumper is actually kind of difficult. I haven't figured it out yet. I think it is a quicker release than I expect. I need to figure it out before I play someone who uses the Warriors. I want to light them up with Korver.
