Seriously? Cash grab? It cost you no money to use the feature.

Effort toward making a better game? It gets better every year (wether we want to admit it or not). They patched the game 5 times already. I'd say they are working hard to try to make things right.

Again - why the hostility? This is why we can't have nice things.

Get us to go outside so we spend less time on your game and don't realize how terrible it is? 🤔

Well played 2K

2K17 is a $60 game played on $300+ consoles. My goodness it always comes back to money when we [OS] complain. It's an expensive hobby - we should just accept that at this point.

But the awesome thing is - this feature cost NOTHING. It's free and a cool thing for those who own a fitbit. So let's just enjoy no?

If you think a Fitbit component in this game is 'nice things' then we have very seriously differing opinions.

Hope you enjoy this feature and any others that are implemented in the future.

I going to sit over here and hope for fastbreaks in a basketball video game.

It is a nice thing to me - but I don't have a Fitbit so that sucks. But I would LOVE features like this in the future - tying it into other products I own like my smartphone and such.

When I play I gets fastbreaks aplenty. It's awesome. I just try to enjoy the game at this point - warts and all you know? I don't see things like this as taking away from the game at all.

This is pretty awesome. Although I work a desk job so it's more difficult for me to get to 10,000 steps.

I do care, hence my reaction.

I'd prefer them to not try to implement new monetization components, but instead work on fixing the issues with the game in it's current state.

How can that be hard for anyone to understand?
