Just hope they've gotten rid of 7'3 centers otherwise Power Forwards will be useless like 2k16.

My 6'7 Power Forward does great against 7'3 centers, on the boards and defensively as long as my frontcourt mate understands how to boxout and doesn't chase blocks. We've beaten top 100 teams with my guy at C and a 6'9 small forward at power forward, the speed advantage is huge.

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.

Of all the things that were said, 'names' was the only one you picked up.

I'm sure they would have liked to, but unfortunately (well not for me, I play on PS4) its probably just not a big enough market (based on previous sales on PC) for them to justify spending the extra time on.

I don't know if they'd liked to because honestly the neglect is just pervasive, from the lack of cheat detection to not even bothering posting patch notes through steam half the time. The latter isn't a big deal in any way shape or form, it's just another signal that they don't care about PC.

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.

HA! I suck at it. In 16 tried to pick the different voice - not the one we were used to - and messed up big! LMAO

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

see, it might, but I'm not sure. Somehow I feel like they might even poke fun at how bad Freq was received. "MyPlayer" isn't like YEAH IT'S PREZ, more like "Prez, wtf?"

I feel more and more stupid for preordering on PC.

So after official release of the game we will be able to play College games on PC?

I don't mind the story. I don't think it's that big of a deal. All I would ask is that let us have options to choose from. I don't want me and everyone else having the same exact story.

I thought last years we'd be able to have options like choosing to stop messing w/ Vic and etc.

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.

Gold Star. Awesome post. I'm 31, I love park. I loved Freestyle Online Basketball when I was in my mid 20s, and park is absolutely the same feeling with more controls.

I'll be the first to say Park can be a cheese fest. In reality, any mode that has children playing in any game that's even semi competitive will have that. The difference is that with children, you might lose in reflexes at my age, but out thinking them is very doable. If you have 3 guys that constantly move while moving the ball, it's a wrap on offense. That ball starts whipping around the court so fast that it's like 3 card monty. Doesn't matter where it stops, you lose.

This is why I never complain about attributes and am the guy who harps on balance. I'm fine stuffing different stats each game. The Win matters more than my ppg. If I go 2-3, drop 4 with 5 rebs, 5 ast, and some defensive numbers, that's a fantastic game. It means as much to me as dropping 21 by myself.

I think you should be able to create any player you want.....offline.

Online, balance. Diversity. Individuality and creativity. That's why you need caps for that.

Someone said already it'll be a bunch of balanced players. Cool, as long as I can trump them in the areas I specialize in, that's fine. 6'10 glass cleaner SF? Going to burn you off the dribble. Or out post move you. Or maybe get a glass cleaner PF and out rebound you. If everything has a counter, the game turns into a chess match. That means you actually have to put thought into what you're doing. That makes matches a struggle or difficult, which in turn makes it fun.

Will we be able to preload this ? I have a pretty download speed.

Are you not on PC for 2K17?

Are you not on PC for 2K17?

Doubtful my dude. I've gotten a cheap PS4 to play the game there because it was really hard to get games on PC last year. I might get it for cheap on PC later on the year.

There's going to be a lot of testing for me now [emoji24] we've been preaching this for years and the day has finally arrived!
