Of course, there is no money in that so it definitely won't happen, and we'll all buy an unfinished and buggy game once again in 2K18. I love monopolies.

For a yearly released game this would shorten the actual dev cycle to about 5-6 months. It sounds great on a message board but it just is not feasible. The first thing people would say is I'm not paying for a roster update. I truly wish this was as easy as you guys think it is.

When we don't patch a lot guys complain we don't care and we just want the game to be broken. We do patch and guys are like they keep breaking the game.


I told you guys several times that patching a game is always dangerous even games in development for several years have patches. And some things are too dangerous to patch. They just are.

So for developers it can seem like a no win situation.

Also as a side note. Some of the gameplay stuff that used to require a patch we are able to do through roster updates. That is why some of the gameplay patch notes have seemed light because some stuff was done though other means.

Da_Czar, I appreciate you chiming in.

I understand you handle the offensive side of things and I am big on running plays and utulizing my playbook & freelance. When comparing to 2K16, the pace of plays developing seemed to take a step back in 2K17. I understand it was adjusted in a patch a few months ago, but will there be another update or will it be tweaked for 2K18?

As of right now, it seems like a hit or miss if the play will develop in enough time. The off-ball collisions, and the lack of urgency for the offensive players to run to their spots so the play can initiate or continue puts a big damper on some of the intricate plays you've intertwined in the playbook.

Thanks again for answering some of our questions

If gamers just play the game as intended and not find every little exploit to win well the game is great. Unfortunately people will nerd out till they find that exploit and post it on youtube and the cycle goes on and on.

That's a massive generalisation that isn't even true.

Played the game for a bit. Deleted it. Took until late-July for me to get burned out on 2k16. But damn you guys ran this thing into the ground by December for a mode nobody cares about. And a tournament even less care about.

So who's going to fix the on the fly menu on defense? or is this the way it was intended to be, because you guys don't even acknowledge that it is a problem or broken. Is this a dangerous thing? if so it was broken on release day, meaning it was a known, known and literally no plan to fix it.

What on the fly defense menu? Do you mean the new version of POE's?

Also, he handles offensive of things so it may not be the correct personnel.

You say that like he doesn't have access to the people responsible. I know Scott handles that, but they work in tandem. I listen and watch the streams.
