NBA 2K17 Review (PS4/XB1)

[tsbmolina]

A 10 for me. The graphics, animations, gameplay, and customization shine for me. I'm in basketball nirvana. Best sports game ever.

This.

As of now the game is far from being a 9/10 let alone a 10/10.
Too many bugs and lack of depth in certain modes. (the FA OF MYCAREER is exactly the same as nba 2k16) the keeper contracts in MLO (really?)
Presentation wise they took a big step forward and thats encouraging but its not there yet. (Zombie crowds, and authentic lightning)

The gameplay is great though.

Great review.....9/10 is spot on.

No game is perfect and this isn't either.
The Interface and on the fly menus are the worst in any 2k game ever.
If you are color blind you have no chance to recognize if your players are fatigue or not.
if you want to sub in your best 3pt shoote in the last seconds at a time out, it does not work til the next dead ball.
the online delay is horrible as ever.

I think so far after about 10-12 hours in on it, my biggest issue is when you're up at the top of the key waiting to guard a ball carrier and a big man runs into it, pushing you all the way to the baseline with no way to escape. I've been caught in that I can't tell you how many times.

That aside, My Career has its lulls but its definitely a step up from 2K16's atrocity. I spend much more time in MyGM anyway and wow, I can't find anything to complain about in it.

Does anyone know if they've fixed the halftime and postgame highlights this year?

I just had no idea MyGM was so tremendous and feel like I've been missing out after this review lol) Solid review, by the way. Sums up how I feel about it so far.

To be honest, I don't think that MyGM is better My League if you are actually playing the games. MyGM is fun, I guess, but after awhile the cumulative effects of your GM badges give you a ridiculously unfair advantage over the rest of the league. MyLeague keeps the playing field level, at least. Whatever you choose, this game is the gold standard for sports video games. MyGM or MyLeague are both light years ahead of other franchise modes on other games.

Great review, but not enough mention of what's not there or needs patching. I'd still give it a 9 though. Best sports game ever IMO.

I have to check this out.

For PS4? Yes, but the post game highlights look terrible IMO. I can't compare them to XBO, but compared to the halftime highlights, they're too close up on the action and too short. I'm wondering if this was necessary to get them working.
