Get a Head Start on Your NBA 2K17 MyCAREER on September 9 with The Prelude

Re: Get a Head Start on Your NBA 2K17 MyCAREER on September 9 with The Prelude

I'm a PC gamer first. Got a load of steam games. But yea when I played nba 2k15 on pc I really noticed they were shafting the PC players so I knew I would have to get either a ps4 or xbox one to have a better overall experience.

The majority of the games I play are PC -- I'd say easily 95 percent. Between the better prices for games, Steam, and the mods, the decision to game on a PC is easy most of the time.

2K's lack of PC support for the facescan and prelude stuff is disappointing and -- I'm hoping -- not a trend. I'm a MyLeague guy, so MyCareer stuff being MIA from the PC is far from a deal breaker, but the trailer they just released intrigues me. Ultimately, the PC players are a very small segment of the gaming population for NBA 2K and we're lucky they still make a game on the PC at this point: they could have easily taken EA's route and dropped the PC part altogether and not missed a beat in sales.

That said, being ignored is never a good feeling, but given a choice between being ignored or being outright dropped, I'll take the former.

No more bundle attributes.......that is the best thing ever. No we can actually have different player styles for real for some distinction

Re: Get a Head Start on Your NBA 2K17 MyCAREER on September 9 with The Prelude

Typically don't touch my Career at all, but absolutely will for all of this. Would love some clarification as to....

How many schools there are?

How many games we get to play in college?

Is there an NCAA tournament?

Will there be an Olympics mode?

If so how many Country's teams will be available?

Will those national teams be available for play now exhibition games?

Will the 1992 USA Team be the only classic USA team or will there be more available such as the 2008 or 2012 USA teams?

Will there be classic national teams for other countries?

With the All time classic college teams, will we be getting Magic Johnsons Michigan State team or Iverson's Georgetown team etc?

Will there be more than one classic college team per college? (Ewing's Hoyas and Iverson's Hoyas)

Will the all time classic college teams be available in the regular copy of NBA 2K17 and for use in play now Exhibition?

Will we be able to edit the National teams and classic college teams?

Now I have to make my hard decision... Pass First PG or Athletic Freak SF

Looks like the agent is Matt Walsh


Too bad the CAP looks to be the same....looking forward to finally creating a pure defensive center!

Love this, the archetypes is my favorite part of it all. I love being able to model my player after someone and I'm guessing those who pick someone like Lebron or Curry will more than likely have to work to get them there given how good they would be whereas a specialist would get to their role faster. Just absolutely a breath of fresh air to everyone having similar skills.

Being able to play early and experience this? Just icing on the cake. I'm hopeful that it's not just limited to one and done experience and that you can start multiple careers since I love playing PG for careers but also have to work on a C for Pro-Am/Park.

New attribute speed with ball.

They also brought back shot off dribble as opposed to moving shots. Hopefully that means dribble pullups wont have so big of a shot penalty if the rating is high. Someone with a high moving shot rating would get b minus shot grade on wide open pull ups.

I kinda thought all time college teams meant teams of all time greats who went to that school... Like MSU would have Magic, Steve Smith, Jason Richardson, Draymond, etc.

Disappointed as hell this isn't on PC.

Also disappointed we're apparently once again stuck with a railroaded MyCareer story, and a character referred to only by his nickname in spoken dialogue, with no way to opt out of the story and just play a freeform career mode.

But at least we get attribute buckets spread out further, from six to ten. I'd still rather have the ability to raise stats individually, but this is a step forward.

Now which one governs free throws? I don't wanna shoot the three!

For the record, the I in the trailer is for Illinois, not Indiana. Unfortunately it doesn't look like IU is licensed.

Re: Get a Head Start on Your NBA 2K17 MyCAREER on September 9 with The Prelude

im all the way hype now!!

the only thing that concerns is "different body types". i didnt see anything like what we were looking for but im hoping theyre still trolling us for that and its in game

i am hyped for different playstyles!! ofcourse a few are going to be overused as the meta but its always fun to find different builds ppl arent using

Re: Get a Head Start on Your NBA 2K17 MyCAREER on September 9 with The Prelude

They even took different levels of playstyles from live but I'm not complaining at all

Not true 2k had play styles before on last gen consoles, they just added it back

I am on PC..This is some bull man...Why do they continue to treat PC gamers like trash.

Are they really trying to force me to buy a console?
