had to make it its on thread.
from someone who played the nba 2k17 demo
for one. I told yall NBA elite by far had the MOST realistic shooting/dribbling mechanics ever in a basketball game. i said mechanics not graphics. it was so realistic. it scared the daylights out of most players.
To get good at shooting/layups you would have to practice like a real basketball player. it was that difficult. I know this because i use to play with that demo like crazy.
oh by the way. you notice in nba 2k16 how the sweet spot gets larger the closer you get to the basket and the better the player can shoot. welp...that came from ELITE as well. I've always said they had the right idea just didnt execute it properly. now 2k17 has it in the game but they still allow people to use the button for shooting. which completely defeats the purpose. They did this because they remember the reaction ELITE got to the all or non right stick being your hands and no buttons allowed approach.
Lets take a look at some old footage. (imagine intentionally missing a freethrow to the left but hard off the rim to give your teammate a chance at the rebound for a game winning bucket. you had that kind of control in ELITE.
lol at pre mvp steph.
now again some people want to know what benefit will you have of using the stick vs the button? well you will be able to move the shot left or right to avoid the defense. now granted doing so will make your shot less likely to go in. but at least you can get it off every single time if you choose the right direction every single time. but here's the issue with this. can the defender move his shot blocking arm right or less also? if not then this is only a partial fix. lastly, if you push the button it will still move but the computer will decide to move or not to move it for you. so instead of it being up to you its up to the cpu/algorithms. I think if 2k is scared of the casuals getting upset. they should make it so that you can play in two types of games. simulation or non simulation. non simulation. you can use whatever controls you want. in simulation you have to use the stick to shoot, it wont even allow you to use a button. and thats for any mode.
