Glum, tell us if the random stat boosts from practice are temp or permanent. No one can figure out which one it is, especially because you can only raise free throws by doing practice

I know that there a permanent ones from doing various drills in practice, but I wasn't closely involved enough with MyCareer to know whether they are the ones people are doing. I can ask tomorrow.

Does that only account for squad strength though or is it wins/losses because 2k is kind of stingy with coins this year and my squad is rear end. Not looking forward to getting crapped on in the first divisions.

Mainly squad strength

Why does this happen to me about 40% of the time I start MyCareer?



I just came from the main menu, you fuckers. Thanks for letting me sit through the 4 minute loading session twice. Where did this miraculous update come from? Sometimes it happens midway through a game and I get to see that overlay until the game ends. :thumbsup:

Its downloading content updates, most frequently new rosters and clothes, so it takes a bit of time to download in the background, rather than force you to wait on the spinny screen everytime you boot the game. The reason why you get it so much is because we try to put out new rosters every day.

when does the 2k18 hype cycle begin? I just want to find out if the game engine for the switch will be the same

For obvious reasons (I like having a job), I cant comment on stuff related to 2K18 other than I'm insanely excited about it



No clue when the marketing cycle will really kick off :iiam:

I wonder what the turnaround is for programming in the new NBA rules

Heh, I asked the franchise guys the same question yesterday

I believe the answer was "grumble, grumble"
