The release of NBA 2K17 is just two weeks and a few days away – the MyCareer Prelude even a week sooner – yet many of the improvements to the game have yet to be officially revealed. Some major ones have surfaced today however thanks to the tweets of German basketball writer André Voigt.

Among the stream of tweets are details on the commentary, which is said to include 11 different personalities that will vary depending on location of the broadcast, and MyLeague Online becoming a true multi-year franchise mode. Some of those commentary changes were noted with leaked footage revealing Doris Burke and Brent Barry joining play-by-play man Kevin Harlan on different broadcast teams but it sounds more expansive than previously imagined.
