Well the more of a certain endorsement you do the more they'll pay you. I just finished up the Jordan one last week and got something like 5000 vc for 3 appearances. Plus all of the Jordan sneakers are free for me now, even custom ones I create!

I'm pretty sure you can do different endorsements on different characters as well, so you could effectively unlock all the shoes for free for mypark by going onto a second character and finishing the adidas one etc etc.

Holy poo poo i wish i knew this! I have never gone for the endorsements always just trying to max out my connections. Thanks for the info, might have to start yet another MyCareer even though the first year is terrible.

It's basically madden mobile but instead of playing short drives or single plays you have to play whole (cut down) games so everything takes forever and it lets you really feel how bad the controls are. Also there's no content.

I wasn't planning on buying 2k17 then I read about MyGM/MyLeague league expansion. https://www.facebook.com/notes/nba-2k/nba-2k17-mygm-myleague-league-expansion/10153690401877267 Looks like I'll be buying this game again. Going to be nice to be able to add the Sonics without deleting other teams.
All this game needs now is more classic teams and a mode where you play classic moments like in 2k12 and 11.

yea I was kinda on the fence for 'do I want this at launch or maybe wait a little' but yea gently caress it I'll buy it at launch for something neat like that.

Totally agree bringing back classic moments would make it pretty much perfect

Ninety-one? There are ninety other "Tiger Drivers"? Do any involve actual tigers, or driving?
Since the Dream Team there is at least complete: Is 2K17 gonna have actual role players / bench warmers for the classic team rosters or are they gonna stick the same 4-5 generic scrub guards at the end of every bench again? I like taking the classic teams online but only having like an 8-man rotation for most of them is pretty limiting if you play any of today's teams.

Diabetes, you are not invited to my pizza party.
I don't make video games, so I can't say for sure, but these games make me think it is very very hard to make mouths look good. This series also seems to make it impossible to have suits look like they're not inflated. See the man on the left.



These games animate basketball really well, but they definitely look pretty shaky elsewhere.

There is a reason why the visual quality of the game skyrocketed when we started to do face scans rather than sculpts.

I'll make one, but a little closer to release. These tend to be "NBA 2K" Megathreads that just get recreated once a year anyway, so post as much 2k17 media as you want.

I'd just like better control over my nose. The profile/full on sculpting is somewhat helpful but I'd like it if I could have a nose that wasn't the size of the Chrysler Building.

Did they change the part where you can spam pause the game at any time for two minutes? That seriously might be the biggest deciding factor if I get the game this year or not.

Yeah, the guys online who pause the game for half a second after every made basket or whistle or free throw are annoying as poo poo.

I do miss the part where you could force your opponent to watch replays of your rad dunks though, I admit I frequently zoomed in and out of the dunked-on guy's stupid face for 10 seconds to be a jerk.

I think the last time that was in there was in 2K14.

If you've been on OS you've heard this a billion times already, but these players look too beefy. It could just be the jersey but I'd like to have seen the players bodies a little more accurate after years of WWE models

On the other side, I just saw some Gamescon footage and KD has arms that look like literal sticks, so it seems another year of not being able to decide between beefed up or scrawny baby boys as the base.

Game itself looks good, though, and obviously once things are moving and all it's less odd.

It was also pretty dece psychological warfare to force them to sit your whole timeout if they're being impatient
