NBA 2K17 Steps Up Its Game With New Fitbit Integration

We all just going to ignore yet another gimmick in 2k17? I look forward to #steps to greatness, or some other such nonsense plastered across the screen.

Why the hostility? Its just a way to encourage people to get away from the TV and actually go outside. It's kinda cool and completely inconsequential if you don't participate.

I wouldn't say +5's across your attributes is inconsequential, and the hostility comes through getting attribute boosts through gimmicks when they don't even allow you to unlock your career attributes unless you spend hours upon hours in the park.

I know it's hard to keep that content flowing, but something about posting the entirety of so many press release that has anything to do with a popular sports video game without even a single comment from someone at OS feels really lazy. I don't think it's true, but posting these could also call into question whether editorial decisions are made by marketing teams.

I really like this site and use it often, but I wish they could afford to pay an extra writer or two.

I'd use this if I had a fitbit. Managing a bar 10,000 steps is a slow day for me...

Wowowowowowow. This is insulting. Another cash grab.

They need to make efforts toward making a better and more realistic NBA game. Their sense of entitlement to consumer's money after the initial transaction is largely disgusting and perpetuated by garbage like this.

I hope this is undeniably their worst and most expensive mistake.

No it's not. They are doing this in hopes to make money.

Instead of things like this they should spend more time on fixing the list of things that are currently an issue with the game.

Seriously.
