Jones told me that Visual Concepts did a lot of work on AI for coaches and players in NBA 2K17. One strategy will be to rely on the gameвЂ™s artificial intelligence. Now, opponents will have to contend with Durant as well, and itвЂ™s almost a sure bet that the Warriors will be the most popular team in NBA 2K17 online play. On defense, it was already tough enough to stop Curry and the Warriors.

'Nobody else is coming down, getting to the hash mark, or getting to the circle, and going, вЂWell, IвЂ™m shooting from here, forget you.вЂ™ And so we didnвЂ™t want to make that change without being able to individualize that to the one person currently whoвЂ™s doing it.' Control is power 'HeвЂ™s the only guy thatвЂ™s actually doing it,' Jones explained. The key was to ensure that other skilled long-range shooters couldnвЂ™t match CurryвЂ™s ability to hit 3s from way, way out - not even his fellow 'Splash Brother,' Klay Thompson. ThatвЂ™s obviously something that thought about and fixed for this year.' 'So we didnвЂ™t want people to be able to shoot those shots. 'Steph and started doing all that crazy stuff, and we werenвЂ™t really ready for it,' said Jones. NBA 2K16 has a plan to keep Steph Curry from breaking the game - and we could all be the winner That turned NBA 2K16вЂ™s version of Curry into a mere mortal when it came to shooting deep 3s. Senior producer Rob Jones told me in an interview last week that developer Visual Concepts designed the game with a 'significant drop-off' in shot accuracy beyond a certain distance past the 3-point arc. That performance was so incredible that NBA 2K16, although it offered an acclaimed simulation of basketball, could not initially account for it.

(At its deepest, the 3-point line is 23 feet, 9 inches from the basket.) The rest of the NBA shot less than 21 percent from that range, according to ESPN. Steph Curry finished the 2015-16 NBA season hitting more than 51 percent of 3-point shots that he took between 28 feet from the basket and the half-court line, which is 43 feet from the backboard. NBA 2K17 is focused on giving players more control than ever on the court, and when the onus is on you to execute, thatвЂ™s a big responsibility. This year, NBA 2K developer Visual Concepts is taking a path that could help out players looking to defend the Warriors - a club thatвЂ™s now even more of a superteam with Kevin Durant on board - while simultaneously asking more of them. It was so good last season, in fact, that it threatened to break NBA 2K16. His jump shot is deadly from just about anywhere on the court - even from well beyond the 3-point arc. The Golden State WarriorsвЂ™ Stephen Curry is an unprecedented talent in the sport of basketball.
