Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Started a game then got prompted to update. First play back in the game I finally got ankle breaker. So glad that's over. Only upgradable badge I have left to get is Flashy Passer. Almost to the All-Star game.

now the shot chart info graph shows up in mycareer, but it's only in the 1st quarter when you've only taken a couple shots lol

Is it natural for the update bar to disappear after you reach 95?

Right after the 1.05 update, the game felt nearly perfect. I could move around freely, without feeling like I was dealing with lag, and constinitly being bumped. Could fight around boxouts and hold strong positions for rebounding as a centre in mycareer.

They do a tuning update, and it's horrible. As a centre I can't push my way into the paint, always get stuck in animation where the defending centre shields me like 5 meters along the paint then boxes me out and I'm just locked in a boxout with no way to fight it.
On defense feels like I'm a second behind everything and when trying to change direction I over run everything, and when inbox out the AI defenders always seem to start behind me and magically when i boxout they slip in front of me

Could not agree more. Same exact experience. Game felt very good after the patch, then tuning update and it's a joke now. They messed it up big time.

Edit: Here is what I'm dealing with constantly. It looks like Caldwell-Pope called an ISO and even my team got out of the way lol. Justice getting stuck on the opponent with his right arm and dragged out of the way. This is all AI, I was not controlling anyone in that video. The #51 Center is not even setting a pick, I don't know what he is doing there. Mirotić is trying to save the day but runs into Lopez even though there is enough space between him and Justice. The Mirotić getting sucked into Lopez is one of the major problems this game has!



This is a good display of what is wrong with this game. Broken AI and players getting stuck on players stuck on players. There is no fluidity to the play. If you watch a real game, people don't bump into each other all the time or get stuck and have to spend 3 or more seconds watching a "unstuck" animation happen. Even if you are two feed away from your opponent your player slows down for no reason way too often.

i'm thinking that the main issues with MC in 2k17 is that stat caps were way too hard for pretty much all positions. maybe 2k should go back to no stat caps and separate the offline MC grinding and online Park stuff.

another thing is the consistent bumping and ridiculous movements that you experience. every time you dribble forward into the defender, you get pushed back a couple metres even if you have higher strength in a mismatch (unless you're posting up, then if you're stronger, you back them down). i'm not playing as a slasher in MC, but i can bet that driving to the hoop or finding open lanes to dribble into is frustrating. this happens way to often in transition, where i'm trying to finish hard but end up getting pushed away from the basket. no foul called, but i just go into a weak layup animation.
when defending, you feel like you're jerking around rather than moving. feels like i'm getting caught in animations in a really unnatural way.

i'm also getting a lot of turnovers where they feel forced at really specific moments in the game. the player catching my passes gets butter fingers. especially when we're consistently getting a few scores, going on a good run, 2k AI doesn't call the timeout (sometimes they do) but instead forces my teammates into a mistake. seems as if 2k is intentionally rigging the game to make it more challenging for us.
