Madden NFL 17 has its commentary update for week two of the preseason
The updates being made to the commentary in Madden NFL 17 now reflect storylines out of the second week of the preseason. Play Now and Online Head-to-Head will receive relevant commentary about NFL happenings regularly throughout the season and last week’s first sign of it was very promising. The duo of Brandon Gaudin and Charles Davis will additionally be recording new audio for other modes like Franchise and Ultimate Team.
Examples in the video below address Dak Prescott’s success, Dre Kirkpatrick having to borrow a high schooler’s cleats for a practice, and injury updates from around the league.

MyNBA2K17 mobile app will have face-scanning capability
The mobile companion app for NBA 2K17 will be introducing some new functionality to tie in with the game. After two years of having the ability to scan in faces for created MyPlayer characters by using the Kinect or PS4 Camera the job will now be done by the MyNBA2K17 app. That’s good news considering the scanning won’t be limited to those with the cameras and the process had been frustratingly difficult to complete and simply never worked for some people.
Earning extra VC has been the primary reason to have the MyNBA2K app in the past whether through the daily bonuses, built-in card game, or NBA pickem. MyNBA2K17 will be out for iOS and Android devices on Thursday, September 8.

First extended trailer for NBA 2K17
Please enable Javascript to watch this video
2K Sports today released a gameplay trailer for NBA 2K17, which follows a teaser trailer that featured the USA Olympic teams earlier this month.
There isn’t a whole lot to learn from the trailer – for some gameplay related observations head over to check out the hands-on impressions that come from Polygon – but considering how starved everyone is for anything 2K17 with just over three weeks until release it’s at least a start that will hopefully represent the opening of the floodgates for information.
