Alright so my takes so far after a day of playing:

Shot-creator is the "ok at everything, great at nothing" build. It's aight. Mediocre in pretty much every regard. It feels like 2k has forced the players into certain roles based on positions. You're basically forced between sharpshooter and slasher for scoring guards, and you're going to be a garbage PG unless you're playmaker. Apparently 2k doesn't think it's possible for a player to be good at defense and also be able to score in any kind of way. I hope they adjust these a bit. I understand capping for online, but this is a bit extreme. Gameplay feels good. Nothing feels busted. Defense feels rewarding to play. Shooting is a little weird but I think that's just getting used to the new mechanics. For once I think the game is actually decent on release.

tl;dr

Playmaker is easily the best PG build. Slashing/Sharpshooter based on playstyle for SG. Gameplay is good. Nothing in need of immediate fixing.

BUMP. NBA 2K17 Patch 1.03 Notes

(NBA 2K17 Patch Update v3 has been released on PS4 (coming soon to XB1))


GENERAL
• Updated court floors for both the New York Knicks and the Milwaukee Bucks.
• Uniform improvements including the addition of a number of patches (e.g. Pacers 50th anniversary patch) and changes to more accurately represent uniforms for a number of teams.
• Addressed an issue where some pre-order users were unable to see the ’92 Dream Team on the Play Now team select menu.
GAMEPLAY
• Substitutions made during a timeout will now immediately apply, rather than waiting for the next dead ball.
• Reduced the frequency of lob passes and increased pass speeds across the board.
• Fixed the 5-Second Closely Guarded rule in Euroleague-rules games such that the violation is only called when the ball carrier is holding the ball (as opposed to dribbling the ball).

MyPARK/2K PRO-AM
• Voice chatting has been added to the Pro-Am Team Arena.
• As your Pro-Am Team levels up, you will now begin to see your Sponsors’ logos appearing on your custom arena walls!
• Pro-Am teams of Elite 4 (and higher) will now see big heads in the crowd of their players during games.
• The “On The Rise” and “Get Your Feet Wet” achievements should now unlock when the proper criteria has been met.
• Injuries in MyCAREER will no longer carry over into MyPARK/Pro-Am games. Regardless of your injury status in your career, your player will now always be fully healthy in MyPARK/Pro-Am.
• The Turbo meter will now flash red when depleted in MyPARK/Pro-Am games.
• Travelling as a team to Parks and Pro-Am games should now be a lot smoother and more reliable.
• Once earned, Grand Badges should now properly appear on your player in Pro-Am games.
• A large number of improvements to the camera system used during Pro-Am games. The entire experience should now look and feel much cleaner.
• Custom Wall progress will no longer disappear when changing basket types while editing a Pro-Am Team arena.
• Made a change such that the only whistles you will hear in MyPARK are those from your current game (unless you are walking around).
• Your Gamertag/Online ID will now correctly show on the back of your team’s Pro-Am jersey.
• More reliable search capabilities when searching for players in the Free Agency feature of Pro-Am.
• Corrected a number of animation upgrades for Pro-Am that had incorrect team level requirements.
• Fixed an issue where the overall rating of another player would display as 55 when viewing their player card during a shootaround.
• MyPARK intro animations will now be shown with a greater variety when more than one is equipped.

MyCAREER/MyCOURT
• Corrected a case where users would have an optional practice and a game overlapping on a single day, resulting in the user being forced to simulate to the next game.
• Proper controls for “Orange Juice” are now shown in the Controls menu in the in-game pause menu.
• The Ankle Breaker badge should now properly unlock when the appropriate conditions are met.
• Attributes earned exclusively through off-court events (e.g. free throw shooting, stamina, etc.) should now properly be saved to your MyPLAYER once earned.
• Coach Brubaker will no longer critique you for missing team practices while you are injured.
• When playing as a Point Guard, the playcalling menu will no longer be brought up on-screen when attempting to use “Orange Juice” controls with the d-pad.
• Fixed an issue where your MyPLAYER would sometimes appear out of focus during a post-game interview with the studio crew.

MyGM/MyLEAGUE
• Removed an errant dialog during MyGM setup that prevented more than one custom-built team from being added to the league at time of league creation.
• Fixed an issue in MyLEAGUE Online where loaded custom draft classes were not being preserved.
• User vetoes are now respected in MyGM when your owner approaches you regarding the proposed rule changes for the upcoming season. If you don’t want a rule enacted, say no. If you are interested in the rule, say yes and it will go up for vote with the league.
• When using a downloaded Team Design, the commentators will no longer refer to the team by an incorrect name.
• Team Cards will now list team stats for the last 24 years, rather than the current and last season it showed previously. The more information, the better!
• Fixed an issue where the Advanced Rotations menu was not properly updating following a trade, which could lead to a hang in some cases.
• Players should now sign for normal contract values when the salary cap rule is turned off.
• Commentary and crowd sounds will now be heard when jumping into a game that was initiated with SimCast.
• Playoff stats will now be used in the Team Comparison and Player Comparison menus during the Playoffs (previously used regular season stats).



yay! my free throw and stamina ratings will finally increase in MyPlayer

Where do you earn these? In the weight room after practice?

Has to be the team practices for the free throws, not sure about the other ones. What sucks is that the free throws should be a part of one of the shooting ratings you can upgrade because once the season gets going, you have very few team practices

yep. or the "press L2 & R2 to practice this shot". i.e. free throws

this is also stamina, shot iq, draw foul, hustle, intangibles, etc. All the +1 attributes that aren't included in the standard attributes but you earn them slowly in the gym. great idea, but if they don't stick...it's a waste of time grinding for them.


i'm now at a point with MyPlayer where i kill it for 3 quarters at a time and we can hang with any team, then i run out of stamina and the offense basically shuts down.

I could never figure out what they mean by "knees fully bent" while doing the jump drill. Knees fully bent means arse to grass to me, but not in the game. Just can't get it right.

Also, I always stumble during the sprinting drill when you have to quickly alternate between RT and LT. I know I'm doing it quickly and correctly, but he still jogs and stumbles most of the time.

Maybe I just suck, though...

on the vertical jump, you need to bump the stick back up just almost immediately when he gets to 90 degrees.

also the best for stamina is bench press. i get that one regularly.

but again, until this patch is live i don't waste my time working for those. i just get my "doin work" meter full and gtfo of there.

For those of you that haven't figured it out by now, the overall rating it says you are in MyCareer is false. Your actual rating is MUCH lower. People have created players outside of the MyCareer mode and replicated the stats of, say, an 89 overall rated MyCareer player and it actually come to to be 74 overall. It has been proven, however, that this does not apply to Justice. Justice's overall is legit. So in all reality, the max overall you can really get in MyCareer is closer to 85 than 95. Justice is Steph Curry, your player is Andre Iguodala.

People are dubbing this NBA 2k17 MyCareer: Be the Role Player. Because that's pretty much all you amount to with these caps.

It's been that way the past 2-3 years now and I think it's beyond stupid. I understand the reason for the cap so you don't have a bunch of bought 99 everything in MyPark the first week, but it's a video game. I would think they could make some algorithim that could convert a MyCareer rating to a lower MyPark rating.

If I want to be a better shooting version of LeBron in my SINGLE-player MyCareer, I should be able to. Then, if I decide to go to MyPark, they can cap the ratings like they do currently for each archetype. I rarely ever play online, so thus I'm stuck on the side that really gets screwed with this

Just wanted to say that GS is ridiculous on this game. Curry, Durant and Klay on the same team just isn't fair.

Spent the better part of my afternoon yesterday grinding away for badges for my Sharpshooter. I now own all gold badges for all 5 shooting categories, and have upgraded my catch and shoot to Hall of Fame. Working on getting the other shooting badges to HoF and then hopefully getting my Grand Badge for the park later on. My guy is sitting at an 88 OVR, so I need to grind out those open facility practices as well (AKA hitting the vertical jump mini game twice and then leaving). Hoping to hit that 90 OVR by the weekend.

I am at 71 OVR on my 6' 11" glass cleaner center. Wish I could stop myself from spending VC on the packs for myteam and just get this guy up to where I can earn VC faster in the long run.

Wife is bringing the kids to our home town this weekend and I will have 30 hours alone. I plan to use 6 for sleep, 2 for yard work and the other 22 for NBA2k on one TV and Football on the other.

Last year I could still dominate offensively with a PG and still have the ability to handle the ball and distribute when I used the per-game boosts. This year is easily the worst it's been since they started trying to balance around the Park (which is stupid in itself). The ball handling/speed caps on scoring archetypes are what really screw it over. According to 2k you can't handle the ball, play defense, or move faster than Shaq if you can shoot the 3.

Searched but couldn't find you in free agency. You have to be a free agent on pro-am. Idk they made it too complicated this year. Last year, you could invite all your friends to your court and then go straight to proam with them
