The game has been seen played on the Switch for the first time and it looks like it's on par with all the other versions.

I haven't played MyCareer for a while so is the VC thing still tied to your console being online? I remember that I couldn't play it whenever my internet connection broke down; I wonder how it'll be on the Switch. I assume you won't be online when it's undocked and on the go, right?

Guys, I'm really really (REALLY) considering buying the Switch but we just had a baby boy and A) I don't think I'll have that much time to play and B) gotta save up that money for him in the future, right? Someone please talk me out of buying it? Or talk me INTO buying it? LOL I don't know. Reading all your comments makes me wanna buy it.

I wasn't expecting Andre Miller to be left out of the Cavs all-time roster. Or even the Clippers one, TBH.

Jon being a Targaryean is the best possible result for him. Now he can fuck Dany and make silver haired babies because the Targaryeans practice incest and now he can also fuck Sansa and make ginger haired babies because the Starks DON'T practice incest so now that he's not a Stark his dick is fair game. I wouldn't be surprised if next season is just about Jon trying to raise half a dozen kids.

Updated the download link, Jett Armstrong debuted in 2011, his birth year should have been 1991, strangely I was not getting any errors when I started a game.

No worries, it was easy enough to change his birth year to a random number  I appreciate the reply!

Yeah, Jett Armstrong definitely doesn't look like he's six years old. I can't find anything on his birthday, though he looks like he's in his early twenties. Thanks for the hard work, Who. It's always much appreciated.

Is there a pic of him in the pic pack? 

I think Jett Armstrong wasn't born on 2011? Keep getting an error about it when trying to start a new game.

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit bummed that this isn't compatible with joemurphy's pic pack, but thanks for your work, as always, Who. 

Yeah, I also knew beforehand that it was Taryn Terrell's body LOL I guess if we're being nitpicky then you can see in the ends of Charlotte's hair that it's cut in a 'blocky' sort of way? And the lighting on Taryn's left arm is kinda too dark compared to the way Charlotte's head is positioned, but honestly, if I'd have made that, I'd be happy with it. 

Liked the Wolfgang cut and wanted to use it for my game, so here you go:

I might get around to doing the others if I get the time and if no one's done 'em yet.

EDIT: Here's a few more:

That Charlotte render looks fantastic, good job. I like the poster but it feels kinda weird for the QCW Title to get second billing to Styles and Shelton (although I guess that's the right call).

The picture was too darn cool not to cut LOL

Thanks for the help, guys! I found it (or a version that looks like it as the one I downloaded didn't have any patch) and started a Seattle Supersonics expansion team. As usual, I got the 4th pick (I'm pretty sure now that it's constant as we don't even join the lottery) and my head coach is... the recently-retired Tim Duncan!

2. I play MyGM/League regularly sometimes, but most of the time I play with Fantasy Draft on, meaning the entire game roster is drafted to (likely) new teams. I just find it really fun to see where everyone winds up. I as the Sonics got the 11th pick and since I put the draft as fixed, I got to pick Lillard, then Okafor, Ibaka, so on and so forth.

Yeah, I enjoy the fantasy draft a lot, too. I often find that it's the drafting process that excites me and that I barely get to finish fine-tuning the roster before I feel the urge to start a new one again LOL

I'm not Tyrone... But here goes.

1: Filter on SuperSonics, that does the trick for me
2: AI makes some funky choices during expansion drafts...

Thanks! I thought the keyword search was broken so I had to sort through tens of pages and still couldn't see that particular design. 

On the topic of expansion drafts... do they always get the 4th pick?

How did you guys download those sweet

I feel so much more freedom this year in regards to how your player moves. I've dabbled with MyCareer a bit, but have mostly been playing MyGM with my SuperSonics squad (Lillard, Okafor, Ibaka, Evan Turner, Danny Green, Jennings, Varejao, Thomas Robinson, Ariza and Roberson). The P&R is so much more fun now, and I've had a blast having Dame come off Okafor's screens and nail an off-the-dribble three-pointer. Last year it felt impossible to hit off-the-dribble shots, even with people like Jamal Crawford who excel at those shots at mid range, but this year it feels fluid and fun to do. Basically the freedom, off-the-dribble shots, and new rebounding/tip-in controls are making this my favorite 2K so far.

 

Okay, 2 questions:

1. How'd you find that awesome Sonics design? It wasn't in the top rated (when I filtered) and when I tried keywords like "Seattle" or "Sonics," nothing showed up. Speaking of that-- how do you know if it's a case of no results or the preview just not yet loading?

2. How'd you get Damian Lillard on the Sonics?  

Do you have posters made for this event or are you waiting for a decision on your logo? I think the first one looks weird 'cause of the inverted C but it looks more "logo-like." The second one's good (though a bit more generic) and could work depending on the poster you make. 

Sorry I couldn't be of more help

I was drafted to the Raptors as a SG with the 9th pick we are currently 26-4. ORANGE JUICE!

Me, too, but as a PG. How are you doing playing behind DeRozan? 

Has anyone tried playing other game modes (MyGM, exhibition) and accumulating enough VC to properly power up their MyCareer player so that the attributes aren't that far away from the other top rookies?

13th. Suns. Was averaging around 12PPG 4RPG and 2APG as a PG, but my best two games were the finals. And I was still being torn apart and told I wasn't that good on Twitter lol.

Me, too! I was averaging around the same and they kept saying that I wasn't good enough. They should've made an option where you could stay in college for another year LOL My best game was actually on the bonus game against Australia

Yeah I got this on Monday. MyCareer Prelude was pretty fun. And enjoying the MyCareer so far, even though I've only played one game.

But MyGM is incredible. Still a little glitchy in the early days (Carmelo was whining about not getting minutes while having a season ending injury) but every year brings in new rule changes, and it makes me actually want to become a Team Owner. 

Anyone on the fence should absolutely get it.

Where did you get drafted? I played Prelude so far and my draft stock didn't improve at all

I can only pick up one of the 2k17's this year (NBA or WWE) and though I'm pretty pumped about the new additions (expansion teams! multiple commentators! new jerseys and stuff!), I can't help but feeling that most of these can be done in 2k16, anyway. 

Hopefully someone who has the game can convince me otherwise?

I like the colors... it looks a bit Brady Bunch-esque (not an insult LOL) in that the brightness would fit in with a sitcom or something. 

I feel that the women should be colored according to their brands, but that's just me. Also, is it possible to simulate the CWC on TEW2016? I'm asking because you gave them a purple background, but when it's over some/most of them will be headed to RAW, right?

Anyway, good job on this!

Awesome work as always, @TheWho87! I've updated a ton of pics on the 2011 TEW2010 database that I'm still using

Anyway, I had a different Kris Wolf and thought you might have use for it:

Damn, loved him in Charlie Bartlett. Didn't realize he was so young... RIP.

Awesome news, for me, @TheWho87 Didn't make the jump to '13 but fully with you on TEW2016 so it's great to hear that you'll be moving on to it

Spent the last hour and a half skim-reading through this thread LOL here are some games I haven't seen mentioned:

1. Sushi Go! 

I love the art and it's simple enough to learn

2. Splendor

I've only played it twice but it was pretty fun

3. Istanbul

A bit complicated and hard to set up but also fun. 

4. Codenames

I really enjoyed this one! There were six of us who played this but I think it's a party-game type wherein a lot of people can play?

For the record, this is the extent of my "collection:" Love Letter (Batman version), Exploding Kittens, Sushi Go, Qwirkle, and... that's it. LOL I liked that one For Sale mention, though. It's a quick, enjoyable game. 

Anyone played Straw: The Game That Broke The Camel's Back? How'd you like it?

Personally he's 'serviceable' purely because we don't have anyone else for his position right now. Which will probably change now that David Lee is reportedly on his way to Dallas after being cut by the Celts.

Charlie V has been absolutely atrocious this year, and he's been a waste of minutes. Carlisle gives him minutes in the hopes he starts shooting 35% or better from three, but it's just not happening. Dude's a gigantic offensive and defensive liability, and he's got no place on a playoff bound team.

Well I hope David Lee's got something left in the tank. I'm not a fan of Villanueva but I've enjoyed seeing how the Mavs have consistently succeeded despite virtually being written off after the DeAndre debacle last offseason.
