NBA 2k17 is out September 20th on PC/PS4/Xbone

NBA Live was mercifully put out to pasture.(again). Apparently the Mobile game isn't terrible...

Now I'm hoping that they just went off the deep end and admitting that it's a Sports RPG means it's actually an alternate sci-fi universe where political action is decided through sick dunks and you just won the 2016 election.

Somebody on /r/nba2k just translated a big list of features from community days:

General/Gameplay
Over 300 shoes are in NBA 2K17, all of them are 3D scanned for detail including retro shoes
Over 700 new offensive and defensive animations
Dynamic broadcast teams confirmed with 11 commentators who will support the main team. These change based on the city you play in.
All 30 teams now have freelance offense
Tons of new Offenses and Defenses with over 6,000 adjustments. These will be updated throughout during the season
Advanced Rotation - Users can determine which players stand together on the field in a game.
All shots (except dunks) have their own timing point for the release.
Now possible to retire a player's jersey
Online matchmaking can be "personalized" (no more same color jerseys)
User must combo dribble moves to do the fancy ones
New steal system, more user skill dependent
Game is easier for new players on lower levels
CPU Players bring more actions offside the ball (get free, cuts etc)
New post-up game, contact zone
New rebounds and putbacks
Smart coach gives detailed feedback during the game
Arena-specific sounds for all 30 teams including including buzzers, balls, fans.

MyTEAM
Redesigned cards, six new Gem-Levels, Moments, Historic franchises, Theme Packs
Dynamic Duos give a special bonus if you have two players who play well together in real life. For ex if you use Steph and Klay together.
MyLEAGUE Online
MyLeague Online is now 80 seasons
Players develop more
New admin features including massive offseason decisions.

Pro-Am
Leaderboards have been added to Pro-Am (?)
Team owner controls the roster BUT the team can play without the owner
Player stats are saved
Three team tiers: amateur, pro and elite, there will be more VC on the elite level

Blacktop
Users can create their own rules
Spectators allowed
Player intros added

Commentator teams interest me greatly. Maybe in a few years they'll get local broadcast teams so not every game of yours is called by TNT.

Just fix:
-Auto double-team at the start of every game, entirely changing how basketball is supposed to be played
-Dumb rear end shooters that hold the ball 2 inches from the 3-point line instead of stepping up and shooting

-Dwight, stop camping at the 3-point line

Does anyone have any idea whether the ability to move/rename/rebrand your team will still be in my league this year? Honestly the best part of 2k16 was being able to create my own team, move them to bumfuck nowhere, and staff it with me/my friends etc. It'd be a shame if I couldn't do that this year.

It is not only still present but improved. You can now also have expansion teams (up to 6) so that you don't have to pick a team to move. You can just create more out of the ether.

Also you can save and share them so if someone creates a really neat team others can use it too.

Yea this poo poo all sounds good, that myplayer stuff sounds like it could be a huge jump ahead too.

As much as I joked about 'Sports RPG', stuff like a buddy played by Michael B. Jordan who's functionally an assist character and you have poo poo like more dynamic sounding endorsement systems sounds like exactly what a thing like myplayer needed.

also your mycourt thing not being this weird basketball pocket dimension and actually being a place that gets interacted with and all is nice.

That MyCareer write up sounds pretty loving awesome. There's only one thing I want to know now... so they're going to team you up with another player. Fine. The duo are going to be known as "Orange Juice"... okay... does that mean I'm Orange? Or Juice? Jesus, after having to put up with "Freq" last year can I just pick my own bloody nickname this year?
