I've heard people say this is the most "Overrated 2K" ever, meanwhile 2K20 exists but that's neither here nor there. Was this game perfect? Of course not. The player models could be better, but outside of that this game for me has aged like wine. The soundtrack was good, the gameplay reminds me of modern day NBA oddly enough, My Career felt realistic for once, and this was the first time they added Expansion teams into My League. I know many people mention the "Paul George loading screen", but for me I was there for the day one release and never had this.

NBA 2K17 was and still is the GREATEST NBA 2K game of all time. The graphics are still incredible. The soundtrack is still incredible. 2K17 has my favorite gameplay. Every other NBA 2K game before AND after just pales in comparison to NBA 2K17. I will forever cherish and miss the good times I had when this game first came out.

The last great 2K game, everything after this one is just horrible and not worth your time.

El salto a la nueva generación en los NBA 2K fue gráfico... y ya está. En su día no hacía falta, ahora ya es otro cantar.

The last great MyCareer ever, along with a awesome MyTeam, and the best gameplay in a 2K game ever. In my opinion, 2K17 is the greatest 2K ever made.

This game is great. The story is solid(None of that Vic Van Lier nonsense). Player Mechanics are smooth, like how the player handles the ball. The shooting and rebounding mechanics are great too. Small details like the Jerseys are amazing too. My only gripe is some of the mechanics. It should not be that complicated to substitute players in and out. I’m not trying to fly a rocket I’m trying to put Jimmy Butler in lol. The soundtrack is amazing, I can tell they really put there time in instead of just putting in the most popular song at the time like 2k’s now. I’m not that impressed with the graphics though. It seems like every year 2k gets worst with the graphics instead of better. From 2K17 on it seems like where getting worst graphics. MyTeam is alright even though I don’t really indulge in that often. MyLeague is Grade A. You can pretty much do anything you want. 2K17 is going to be a game we talk about in 10 years and miss.

Stop monetize career mode. Monetize multiplayer not carrer mode. Too greedy, own nba2k18 3 day return for 2k17 plan on selling this for 2k16 or 2k15, this is what happen when there are no contest in one franchise. Greed took charge

They follow in their line, the best sports game, but the shots from afar in the park get in from either side.. that has to be improved...

I enjoyed 2K16 a lot so I was happy for 2K17 but I am shocked that the game is pretty much the same just with a different roster. So it is good as a Basketball-Game by itself but as a successor I am pretty disappointed.

Another solid Basketball Sim. I enjoyed the time I put into it, but wow what a lot of time it was. As with all sports games you need to invest a vast amount of hours before you really get under the surface. I played for weeks and didn't even get through the first season of MyCareer. That aside, 2K17 looks great and plays just as well. Let me be clear this is a Sim and has no arcadey feel to it at all There is tons of content here and as far as Basketball games this is by far, I'll say it again, by far the best on the market. If you have the time.

This was a fine game before the patches. The gameplay was good and the different modes could keep you occupied for a long time. The patches messed up the gameplay a lot and has made it annoying to play. All 2k seems to care about is their user buying the next game. GRADE: C+

Nba 2k17 is very fun to play if you give it a chance even though basketball is not very big in the Uk the game development is extraordinarily good the aspects of this game I like is My park and Pro-am these two are particularly very enjoyable My park is when you go head to head in a basketball match with people from different part of the world like America Spain Portugal etc. the thing I most enjoy of this particular mod is you have different level for example the worst level is rookies which people tend to hate playing with as they have no IQ of how the game works the second stage after you reach rookie 5 is all-star then after that is superstar and after that is legend me personally I was superstar another aspect of this is you can choose who you play with for example you might have a squad which is another word for teammates specifically on this game there are different “courts” on this game e.g. 1v1 2v2 3v3 and even 4v4 you can also i play competitively on something called stage where you play for VC (virtual currency) making it more interesting and upping the stakes you can also make a clan which I have got when I use to play this game this game was definitely one of my favorites the other game mode you can play is pro-am this game type is where you go head to head in a 6 man this is 6v6 this game mode earns you a lot of money and rep but the downfall is it is very time consuming each game length is 5 mins long and there are 4 quarters in total.

NBA 2K is hit or miss. 2K17 is huge disappointment. Career was better than last year with Spike Lee but it was mediocre at best. EA is stepping up their game with Live 18, lets see what 2K has to offer.

The AI is horrible, running plays is almost impossible, but otherwise online play is quite fun. MyPark and Pro-Am are annoying at times because of either connection or glitches, but if you can get over a few things the game can be very entertaining.

I love the game and all of it's amazing features, my only complaint is the **** you do pretty much anything you'll get a foul... Other than that the game is a solid mix of real life basketball and a little bit of showmanship... :)

It is an amazing and addictive game if you love the Nba. The bad thing I find in this game and in general to all the annual games is that there are not many changes in its sequels. The first graphics are incredible but they have almost nothing of difference with the previous delivery. The gameplay also does not have a difference with the previous delivery, improves the career mode and the GM. That if in comparison with other annual games this game is the best of all time (fifa, etc) In conclusion is an addictive game that can entertain you for dozens of hours. Although if you have a recent previous game as the nba 2k15 or 16 I do not recommend buying this video game as it does not offer something spectacular that sets you apart from previous releases.

This game is outstanding and is one of the best sports games ever made. The game includes about 15 different modes and each one is distinct and unique. The MyCareer mode let's you play a highly custimizable story letting you choose your contracts and even your schedule in the NBA. The online modes let you connect and play with your friends easily. The commentary, ai, player models, and stadiums all feel unique and interesting. They could improve on the repetitiveness and the online lag though. Overall this is a really good game that deserves an 8.5.

Though the story is lacking compared to Spike Lee's outing in the last game, NBA 2K17 delivers in many ways, including the visuals and the gameplay. Takes a while to get used to, with the new presentation style, but overall a solid game.

There isn't much to be said about this game, although I believe the game mode MyCareer, is a very welcome addition to Career mode in sports video games, unfortunately this is a sports game, and I personally have trouble staying interested in a sports game, so when your game mode can actually get me hooked because of the half-decent story told for your player. you did something right. I gave this game a 6 out of 10 because I think it's definitely above average, it was even a candidate for a 7, but it fell short, I just feel like I really love how many more features the game has than any of EA's sports titles, I'm looking at you Madden, so overall. not bad, not bad at all.

The server is a holocaust of game play. Just absolute garbage. Government computers work better! I don't know who the hell is working there, if anyone, but I have to update and clear cache EVERY SINGLE TIME! The game gets a 1 because you can rarely ever get a chance to play it with all the constant updates that take an eternity. Actually game play is bad at best too. Free throw shooting is extremely difficult and guys never miss as badly as the game makes it out to be. Too many errand passes and just way too much control button stuffing carpel tunnel action to do anything cool. Also, how Steph Curry is rated 93 and LBJ 97+ is ridiculous. LeBron isn't even a top 5 player anymore and Steph may very well be the greatest player ever. Too much LeBron love like Kobe had and neither player is at the top of the NBA. Playing someone living somewhere else you'll need a top of the line internet connection otherwise just throw the game in the garbage. You can't make subs before the game and the auto function always has to be engaged during game play. Sad! Also making subs without pushing pause is like solving calculus. F this game, it's awful.

Hello my name is Remar and I’ll be reviewing the top selling basketball game NBA 2k 17. First of this year they have added new gaming features like being able to choose different archetypes which give you different badges to earn. For example if you want to be a play maker you would be able to earn the hall of fame badges for example dimer you would be able to increases the percent of the pass leading to a score. Play makers would unlock all the play making badges like dimer ankle breaker and sharpshooters would unlock all the shooting badges etc. But if you want to have shooting badges when being a play maker you can still earn them, but just not be able to have the same scoring rate as the shooter visor versa. Following on this year they have brought the GRAND BADGE to the game. This badge can be earned by all archetypes but it increases the archetypes ability. For example if a slasher activates the badge they would have higher rate on all there hall of fame badges for around 2 minutes. Once finished you’d have to wait 2 and half minutes until it can be activated again. This badge can be activated by performing a high rate of game play. Also this year from 2k they have decided to keep the same parks but change some features on each park. Overall my review on 2k is 8/10 I enjoy playing against rivals in my park with my friends. I also like earning badges and going up rep in my park. I don’t really agree with the archetype scheme this year but overall I think it’s the best basketball game this year. The reason why I give it an 8/10 is because the servers are decent but could do with improvement. I highly recommend people to buy this game you can’t be disappointed it’s a great experience.

Not sure if it gets better or worse but those review guys will never know the real 2K. Anyways it's gotta be one of the worst games on my collection for the last couple years concerning basketball. Graphics are acceptable but as with all online dudes the thing gets worse and worse. For the 2K player from way back playback to newjack whatever your want to call it (2K17) I know what that headache is about fellas. Anyways buy it, dump it, recycle BS were accustomed to at this point.

NBA 2K17 is obviously the best game of the franchise. 2k work so hard and get so far ! because that game is amazing, When you play a match you feel like you're watching a real game on real life, it's perfect. Adding we have so many modes to play and have so much fun, Blacktop, Career mode, My Park, My Team, My league. If you love nba and play basketball, you've to play this game, you won't regret !

Pros: Amazing Graphics Many game modes to choose from Multiplayer SIngleplayer Daily roster updates Customizable Character Gameplay is great Cons: 60gb of data required to play Server is not that great Download time is a long time NBA 2K17 is a great game. Although it may be pricey, it is definently worth it. There is many game modes including: MyCareer and MyPark. I will define these game modes for you. MyCareer is a game mode in which players can create their own player. Players create their own player then you play 4-5 college games and depending on those games that is what decides where you go in the NBA Draft. Players can upgrade their MyPlayer using Virtual Currency. MyPark is a game mode where online players use their MyPlayer to play online against other people. They can choose 3 parks: Sunset, Old Town,or Rivet City. (Beware: Players ankles might be broken if they are not a good overall.) This game is made by Visual Concepts and 2K Sports. I bought this game for $60 but it is worth it. My personal experience with this game is really great. I have not had many glitches happen to me, but when they did happen they were funny glitches. The only problem with this game was it took 2 days to download and the updates take 5-7 hours. MyPark has been a little glitchy for me but that may not be the case for you. I would rate this game a 4.5/5 stars because this game is really fun and has no major flaws. Hopefully this review helped you.

Nba2k17 review and more! Pros on the game. Graphics are amazing Story mode is spot on Bunch of game modes Shoes are wonderful Cons to the game. Servers are terrible A lot of glitches Update take forever to upload Nba 2K is 60 dollars in some cases is quite pricey, but is worth the wait! Your can buy it at most gaming stores or online. Nba is the perfect game to play if you are a basketball fan and just love basketball. You can play online in myPark and play against other people and make new friends. There are also other game modes too for example there is blacktop and myLeague or myGm or myCareer. MyCareer is the way you level up your player to go online. So if you want to have fun and play basketball Nba2k17 is for you. Nba focuses on one category for the game modes and that is myCareer. In my opinion they did a amazing job with myCareer, you get to experience what it like to be a true nba prospect, like going through college and getting scouted and even getting drafted! There are cutscenes that let your interact through the whole story mode. You even have a girlfriend and you have to choose whether to pick the nba or her. You can customize your character too, Like you can choose what he wears and your can even customize his personal look. Nba Has some cons though too. Some of the bad things is the servers to play online modes are super slow and very choppy. In Mypark You lag out of the parks and your end up playing the best people on your consoles . I wish there were levels and each level brought different people. Nba has a lot of glitches too, like when you're dribbling the ball might go through your defender and the same thing might happen on the other end to you too. Overall Nba2k17 is an awesome game. I recommend this game to all ages and hope that your have fun playing this game and hope this review helped you. (:

NBA 2k17 Tyler LeClair Period 4 Game Review Pros- Great Graphics Multiple games modes (Blacktop, Online, Play now, and My Team) My Career Story line Allows to play with friends and strangers Cons- Lags and glitches Released by Visual Concepts on Sep. 20th 2016, NBA 2k 17 was a hit. Sold for a reasonable price at $60, many people preordered the game and bought it the day it came out. This booming game is very addicting and hard to put down. It’s game modes allow you to play in the park, blacktop, your customized player's career, and vs the computer. The My Career and the Park are the most played game modes in the game. The park and My career are connected. My Career allows you to customize your player and make him better for the team you play for. While in My Career you go through college, international play, and the NBA. If you have PSN (Playstation Network) or Xbox Live the Park is another feature you can access. The Park allows you to use the player you have customized and upgraded to play against other online players. I give NBA 2k17 5 stars. This game is masterfully done and the graphics are like I’m watching a game on tv. The multiple game modes allow for endless fun. I spend most of my time in the Park or playing games in My Career. When I’m in the Park I like to play with my friends but sometimes the game lags out or glitches. I sometimes end up having to exit the entire PS4 and restart it. Other times I have the ball dribbling up the court and I glitch out of bounds. The My Career Storyline is incredible. It started out showing a highlight reel of me in highschool and then allows you to choose the college you want to go to. I chose Kansas and played the five games it allows you. I then went to a special game and got chosen in the NBA draft. I upgraded my player and began using him in the Park and in games. Overall this is a great game. It satisfies the needs of any age. The controls are easy to learn and easy to master. If you have any questions leave a comment and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Pros- Play Today, MyPark, MyCareer, MyTeam, MyLeague, MyGM, Pro-Am, Postseason, Single and Multiplayer game modes Cons- Have to buy on online membership, Glitches, Some player builds are wrong, NBA 2K17 was made by Visual Concepts. You can play this on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. This game brand new can cost from 60-100 dollars. There are three editions regular, gold, and legendary and with each edition you can get certain “boosts” such as extra VC which you can use to boost your MyPlayer. You can also get clothes for your MyPlayer which you can use in MyPark. The most played mode is either MyCareer or MyPark. MyCareer takes gaming to a whole new level. You take your own player through the ranks from college to the Hall of Fame. You choose your build, position, and your players play style. From there you just play in college then in the NBA. Every game you can earn VC based on how you play and your salary for that game. You control your player and that is it, you take control of your own legacy. This meaning you work yourself up the ranks with your teammates and Justice Young. You two are the face of whichever franchise you get drafted to and take the league by storm. Justice Young is your teammate in which you can take control of when u active Orange Juice, which you earn by getting assists from him or earning assists from him. The overall idea of MyCareer is amazing, the fact that you and only you can control your destiny is great. It is not exactly like real life but consists of some of the same things. My favorite part about this game is the way in which you can customize your player's moves. Which means their jump shot, dribble moves, dunks, layups and clothes. You can make your player look like you, copy a former NBA star or just be creative with your player. I like how you can choose your own jump shot because it does not make your player one dimensional. What I mean by that is, you can change how your player plays in regards to their shot form and the way they play. This makes you get more comfortable with your players form and the way you should play depending on if you are a playmaker or a lockdown defender, because if you are a lockdown defender you won’t be hitting three’s every single time down the court as a sharpshooter would. Overall I personally think MyCareer is the best game mode in the game because it takes you through what it is like to be an NBA player. MyPark is another amazing feature on 2K17. You take your upgraded custom MyPlayer to an online Park and play against other players that are online. You can partake in a game of 21, 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5. Every time you play you can earn VC depending on how you play in that game. You also play with friends which can help you earn more VC because then you can have a certain game plan that game which would help you earn more VC. There are also many animations in the game which you can enjoy. Such as pre-game rituals, winning celebrations and more. NBA 2K17 also has amazing graphics and updates. They really stepped up their game this year with all of this. Tattos, gear and more are more realistic. For example Shooting Guard, J.J. **** of the Los Angeles Clippers, went and got a tattoo on his arm this past off season and 2K17 did a great job of adding this detail into the game. The one real big complaint I do have is all the glitches and lags in MyPark, which I hope they would fix. But other than that I can’t complain. Visual Concepts did an amazing job this year and really improved the game. I hope next year they do the same too.

Pro’s My career mode My team My park Graphics Cons Online loading is long I got NBA 2k17 for my Ps4 and the graphics for the game were phenomenal 2k made the game feel like you are in the real game also you can have various types of modes it still has the career mode like normal but you also can have more than one type of My career players you can have about 5 or 6 players. And you can have your own fantasy draft of players on My Team. You can still play on my park and also you can play with your friends and play normal NBA teams against them. You are able to make your My Player better at various things you can make a player that is known for making 3 pointers or a player that is amazing at dunking. Also “My Park” is a lot better in 2k17 than it is in the previous years. But it is a lot harder to get more “Rep” from the previous years. A new thing in “My career” is that you can now get sponsors and you can get extra VC for going to events. There are additional events you also can have if you get the “Legend mode” the legend mode for the game comes with a free 30,000 Vc and it is amazing to get your My player started or get a jumpstart on your upgrades for your My Player. I would think this game rating is appropriate for everyone unless you are going to be playing in My Park if you are going to be playing in My Park you probably and to be 14 or older. But this game is great for everyone and it is age appropriate for anyone and everyone. But there are a few things I thought 2K could do better like it takes a long time to load My Park and also if you just want to play a game against someone you better have some patients because it might take about 5 minutes to load the game and there are a few glitches in the game but overall it isn’t so bad. If you thought that 2k16 was the best game 2K was going to make you are WAY wrong this is by far the best game 2K has made and I can’t wait till NBA 2k18 comes out.

At some point the 2K Sports team stopped listening to the fans of the game. Whether it's because they think it's to a point where they are just going to buy the game every year, because of what it is. Gameplay has now been cut and pasted three years strait. They still have not brought back the full online association. Servers are still horrendous (see 2K After Dark). Fans have been voicing major issues and 2K has not listened just continue on there way. One thing that really bugs me individually and have tweeted 2K regarding issues such as online league games do not earn you VCs! This renders this mode useless. 2K has become EA Sports after getting to the top. NBA 2K no longer looks for innovation.

This game makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I feel like the people who made this game spent way too much time on the graphics and the story mode of MyCareer rather than working out the various glitches and the mishaps that the game has. When you play online, their is this glitch where if you are sprinting full speed and accidentally bump into the opposing player, they call an offensive foul on you, meanwhile you were trying to avoid contact with the opposing player. This game has been out for months, and they have yet to fix that glitch. With MyCareer, the wait times, the loading wait times, the cut scenes, and the filler are so annoying especially when you just want to play the damn game. And the worst part is, they do not allow you to skip them! Unreal! How can you release a video game without allowing the users to skip the cut scenes when they just want to play instead of having to wait through irrelevant things! Another thing is the cut scenes are not even important to the game itself or the MyCareer mode! So why can't I skip it and just move on so I can play my game? And one more last thing: MyTeam. When you play single player mode on MyTeam, and you play domination whether it is historic or regular domination, it is so hard to beat the team you are playing against (or trying to dominate) when they make the cheapest and toughest shots ever! You can be playing the most toughest defense ever on a player in domination and they would still make the shot! And it gets worse if you have bronze or silver players, because it so much more difficult to beat teams with those cards. But it still happens when you have emerald, sapphire, ruby or even amethyst players going up against simply silver and gold players when the players that you have that have a higher type card level should be able to simply dominate the silver and gold players when you would have sapphire or ruby players! I honestly believe they placed way too much focus on the graphics of this game rather than fixing the glitches, allowing us to skip through the cut scenes and made MyTeam so irritating when it does not even have to be.

this is easily the best sports game i have ever played. the gameplay is smooth. the graphics are top notch. the modes are sweet. everything actually feels like a real nba game. i love season mode now that you can upload team designs. my only complaint is that charging foul **** you literally get that foul called on you all of time and it slows down the pace. other than that this is a perfect game a huge step up from the snooze fest of 2k16

They need to get rid of college games. For some reason the AI in it is like the special squad. They pass when there's a defender in front of them, they take shots even Curry wouldn't make. Either that or make it so when the bar fills up, it actually increases the chance of you making the shot. My character can't make a shot when it's nearly filled, but he'll make it when it's not as filled. So they basically lie when they say " fill it up to increase your chances of making a shot " is just BS.

I made a account just to review this god awful joke ****. Once again 2K proves that they have never seen a basketball game in their life. Unrealistic animations, awful physics, horrible fouls and missing wide open dunks and layups 50% of the time is only some of the issues that plague this awful game. Last NBA2K game i ever buy. What a freakin joke.

2k's basketball franchise continues to deliver with scary and realistic visuals along with accurate tendencies and in-game rituals of real life players. The shot release for Stephen Curry is so realistic and perfect with his real life one, my father thought I was watching an actual basketball game. That says it all.

My first NBA after years. I dont play 2k16. NBA 2k 17 is great game. I start carrer mode with player with my face. I started MyTEAM, when i get new cards. Time wasting game. Quite well, nice mods, nice all. A little hard weekly last challenge :D

The gameplay as always is great, but overall the game is boring and frustrating. In My Career mode I spend way more time in practice, and watching loading screens before and after each practice (sometimes there are 4 practises in a single off day), than actually playing the game. Then there is the attribute hard cap. I have a 6"7 shooting guard (also gets played at small forward) that is capper at 11 out of 30 for layups and dunks. So if you are hoping to build a played in the mould of Lebron, Kobe or Curry (I won't even mention MJ)... forget it. Overall the game has gone backwards.

Love it the magma is fantastic the only thing is when you play a game your center is always at the top the of the key, forcing you to fix that. Not too many game play flaws except for some animations that force your player yo pick up the ball just to get it stripped among immediate contact from the defender.

The big problem with this game is AI. Teammate are very stupid. They leave large spaces in defense, even great defenders when they are on our team has an income far below. The defense of the CPU is excelent, no matter the team, no matter the players. even those with low overall are great like Leonard. This always happened since the anterios versions and is only getting worse.

Most of this game is unplayable if you do not sign in to PSN. Excessive unskippable cutscenes and poor story in MyCareer mode. Game play is fine and similar to previous iterations.

Do not buy this game. They decided to spend more money on 2k tv then they did on simple quality assurance. Play 10 minutes of a myplayer game and you will realize the people that made and designed the game have never watched a basketball game except for on tv. Easy things to point out that are major flaws to me: 1. your PG will turnover the ball at least 4 times a game on fast break. (I have had my 89 ovr justice young turnover the ball 8 times before halftime on the fast break) 2. behind the back crossover should just be taken out of the game, this has been an ongoing issue for this game for multiple iterations with no fix in sight. if you do a behind the back cross and someone is guarding you its an auto-turnover. I tend to hit that crossover on accident a lot which forced me to stop playing PG altogether on myplayer. 3. lock stick should have never been taken out of the game, people just run around you so often its a joke. 4. I'm not sure how anyone can say movement is fluid because its the exact opposite. plays run for you with 2 back screens to free you up for a 3 rarely ever work because I can never get the guys to run into the screens properly, or if they do they are back on me by the time I'm taking a 3. Pretty much the only times to take 3s are coming off a screen you call for yourself or on the fastbreak 5. The worst and almost pointless card game out of all the sports games I played this year (mlb,nba,madden)

I'm really disappointed with 2k17, especially with MyCareer mode. I turned up the difficulty way higher looking for a real challenge. Unfortunately all it has resulted in is weird, unexplainable behaviour from my teammates - like ton of unforced turnovers and stepping out of bounds. Also my player can be randomly pushed back by opposing players. Opponents set screens so illegal you might as well sell drugs with it, they make impossible shots with perfect defense and block your shots without even touching the ball (sic!). Sometimes players you guard on the perimeter almost teleport like two feets closer to the basket and move by you. And the weird passing that crops up here and there is especially frustrating because it interrupts some chances to really zip the ball around the perimeter or to pass it inside for an open shot. I push the stick up to pass to the unguarded, open player and my guy passes the ball to the left with defender guarding the passing lane resulting in a turnover - I mean, this is unexplainable and totally random, how is this even possible?! These are things I have no control over and when they happen the outcomes can sometimes feel VERY unfair. There is no actual challenge in this. It all just feel like the game is cheating or abusing the game mechanics to get a cheapshot. It's frustrating and it completely ruins the fun for me. I would gladly just let it go and return the game to retailer at this point, unfortunately it's not possible.

HUGE step backwards from NBA 2K16. There are some nice new features in this game like league expansion in MyGM and MyLeague but the gameplay has been ruined. Fouls are completely out of control. They upped the foul sliders to the point where if someone gets the ball in the post, they will be at the line when the play is over. It has made overall game play slower and MyCareer unplayable. Fastbreaks have been ruined to try to force you to play more halfcourt offense. The AI players will not run in front of you in transition and almost always stop at the three point line even if they have terrible three point shooting stats. The substitution menu is much harder to use than in previous years but once you get used to it, it isn't all that bad. Also, VC is much harder to use this year as part of EA's never ending conquest to take as much money from their fans as possible. The MyCareer storyline is kind of interesting but if your goal is to play with real NBA players then you will be disappointed because there are two made up players and one of them will follow you even if you are traded and the other will dominate the league whether you are on the same team or not. I regret purchasing this game for the opening price of $60 because it is basically a roster update with worse gameplay. Wait for a price drop if you really want it and don't waste money on the VC because EA will continue to milk this cash cow and make it even harder to earn VC next year. Until then, keep enjoying 2k16 because it is a much better game.

The Cutscenes! OMG I have never been that annoyed, bored frustrated and angry playing a video game. The aimed realism, they made the game unplayable because these scenes are impossible to skip!! It is a "nice to have" to play a game that looks just lie a TV broadcast, except that people want to PLAY, just play! Timeout: cutscene, end of quarter: cutscene, foul: cutscene, and I don't even talk about the 10 seconds when player just look at each other waiting that that the Ref decides to give the ball for an inbound **** when you want to go for a fastbreak and the player takes forever to take the ball after the other team score and did not regroup in defense... In few words, beautiful game, realistic etc but the scenes they put in between every part of the game will make you feel that you more watch TV than plat
