Unless I'm tripping, I think we'll have at least two different voices to choose from for your CAP. Saw a video of Ronnie's mug with a different sounding voice than the Prelude trailer.

Nah. Same voice. I'm just tripping.

I'm usually better at identifying voices.

This is great timing for me as the Battlefield 1 beta ends on September 8th...🙌

Really hope we can play longer and more college games this year.

Pros:

- Attribute categories are more divided

- Better RPG style "class" system. Clearer understanding advantages and disadvantages of each position/playstyle.

- Wingspan matters!

- Looks like our upgrade decisions will require more thought

So many pros, only one con lol:

- "Prez" replaces "Freq". oh god

I thought it was pretty cool when it was just play as one guy and improve skills, signatures, etc. Or just create a player and put him on rosters. Create a legend was a good replacement when story mode took off. Now the whole game caters to your my player, park all that, you NEED a my player.. You can't get past the start up of the game sometimes because it's so confused why you won't make one.

It's frickin lame imo. I get kids are biggest consumers, but don't just dust the adults who love the game.. I'm actually surprised how little of the community nowadays main focus is even 5v5 head to head anymore. That was the thing. It used to be lobbies or ranked record. Play now in theory is cool, but it course they have to kid it up and call it play now online.

Preaching now though.

I don't know man I'm 30 myself and all I do is play Park or Pro-Am, and I've met a lot of guys like this that are adults.

The pros of this are, I control every aspect within my ability, I don't have to worry about someone cheesing the CPU to get wins, or constantly playing the cavs/gsw. I get to play in good solid games online every night.

It's funny that you call out MyPark/Pro-Am about catering to kids, yet in those modes, to be successful you have to be a good teammate, or be pretty insane on the sticks, sometimes you need to just be a role player, whereas the 5v5 online, it's catering to someone that constantly needs the ball in their hands.

I actually have a teammate on my pro-am team, that is content with being a true role player, he gets 1-3 shots a game, and plays defense. We told him that's what we needed, not everyone is getting 20 shots a game, and he accepted it and tries his best within that role.

Create a legend is lame in my opinion, why would I want to play as an overpowered legend? It gets boring in MyCareer dropping triple doubles nightly, I want a challenge which is where the Pro-Am and Park come into play.

Due to people having to work together, very few times you play against a team that can cheese you, on 2k16 with 1000 roughly Park games, I've only felt like I've been had a couple times due to **** mechanics, and over 100 Pro-Am games, maybe 5-6 times. I will never find that in 5v5 online.

Quick question. I don't watch much college ball outside of March Madness. To the Arizona fans actually do that dance at games? Looks super cheesy in the trailer 😂

I tried to find it for you, but the Maryland crowd did something similar [emoji2] .

Loving these new attributes, especially those that differentiate speed and shooting. 😆

To each his own. It's a main reason I avoid that mode like the plague. Not a great aspect of my ideal sports game. I only play sports games though, so story stuff doesn't impress me

I'm not sure why we don't get it...

THE SPORTS ITSELF IS THE DRAMA! We never had to see what ESPN has to say before we call Lebron out for taking his talents to south beach, nor KD's departure from the fiery Westbrook.

Ideally, I think they should have made thousands of different scenarios (I don't mind if they aren't voiced) for the actual sports events/situation. All the rivalry team lost (you being the superstar of the team or the rookie) means different things, losing a game that affects your team's Playoffs picture, a Duke rookie versus a North Carolina rookie, first career 40, 50, 60 points game... etc

They had a good base system when we only get mini-cutscenes and post game interviews. We just need a massive expansion of that system so everyone will have a unique storyline that's true to themselves. Not bringing in half-wit director to force feed us with a rigid storyline with no wiggle room.

I don't need to be call Frequence Vibrations or President of Basketball... No one picks up the phone and asks for King when they call Lebron James. That's just silly.

It good to see that the Wingspan a player has affects their skills as opposed to 2k16 where everyone had a maxed out wingspan

Good look... More of a myleague guy myself but I'll just look at as a way to get familiar with the controls before the game comes out... It would be cool if you could pick your personality type and this would determine how your player talks and responds to certain. For example you could chose to have a Derrick Rose personality type in where he's just cool and not overly excited about everything.

I doubt they're trying to force you to buy a console, but it's all about sales -- PC gamers make up a very small portion of 2K's sales I'd imagine, especially since the Xbox One and PS4 are, essentially, low-to-mid tier PC gaming rigs.

I kinda understand why the PC guys got left out of this -- one would think that if they can make the Prelude and Facescan stuff tie into the Xbox One version of the game, they can make it tie into the PC version (since the majority of PC gamers run Windows and the Xbox is made by Microsoft) but I imagine it has something to do with the absolute insane amounts of software/driver/graphic cards combinations a PC rig could have ... it would be difficult to account for all that. I don't blame them too much for taking a pass on it.

This is why they invented APIs - you can delegate the scanning to a phone app which intefaces with the PC backends.

This not being on PC = boooo 2K, booooooooo.

2k is also paying these voice actors, and either they spend a lot of money to make sure they cover all names, and all combos, multiple times... or they make us use a nickname.

You guys are being crazy about this, it's not like they only do voice acting for names like James Smith. If not, they would have super weird pauses as it just skipped your name, or they never mentioned your name in the cutscenes which would be equally weird.

stop being so picky about the names geez.

I wonder can we skip the Mycareer story stuff and just go straight to playing.

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

Curious to see what the base rebounding is for the power forward Point Forward, hopefully it can get into the upper 80s when maxed out.
