NBA 2K17 Review (PS4/XB1)

05:45 PM - September 20, 2016 by RaychelSnr

For the past several years, all other sports games have been judged by NBA 2K's standards. It is no surprise NBA 2K is the reigning multiple time Sports Game of the Year Award winner here at Operation Sports as well.

Simply put, NBA 2K has been a bit of a big deal around these parts for a few years.

Enter NBA 2K17. This year's game features important tweaks to the gameplay, a new MyCareer experience, new additions to MyGM, and a whole host of other new features that all add up to a compelling package oozing basketball authenticity.

There's a lot to love about NBA 2K17 -- but the game is still not quite perfect, with a few notable issues continuing to hold the experience back.

I'd give it an 8.5. The gameplay is phenomenal but the clipping is a real eyesore and issue for me. I've mentioned in other forums and in a video that clipping is in all games. But when it "should" and "can" affect the gameplay i.e. swiping at the ball only to see your hand/arm not just go through the ball but also the ballhandlers entire waist, then it's an issue. That's why to me it doesn't deserve a 9 especially when the devs apparently noted during the dev cycle that they've addressed the clipping issue but IMO it's the worse in the series.

Good review. I totally agree. I would love the ability to start MyGM mode with a fantasy draft and the ability to set the number of games per season. Do t k ow why that was overlooked or maybe I just missed that somewhere.

I myself am a My Career player - you are not really forced to go to the (optional) practices as stated there - you just wont earn your skills upgrades for your player - so its a good thing - you practice to be better - you are ony forced to go to the team practices which are much better than last year - the game play is what it is - AI will drive you nuts in every video game so its all good - man the review killed my career lol!

I agree with some points within this review. MyCareer is a nuisance seeing I have to play it in order to get badges and upgrade my attributes to play on MyPark. I'm not really a fan of the mode and its annoying that I'm forced to play it to level up. This year 2k seems to have brought more two player animations that you get stuck in far too often. It seemed like NBA 2k was getting away from the sucking and pulling feeling, but its back with a vengeance.. I can't give countless examples of times that I was sucked into another player and was unable to get off the player while my man just goes in for an open dunk. Don't get me wrong I do like the new dribble mechanics and the game can build off of this to improve in the future, but bringing back that sucking and pulling feelings is a regression opposed to a progression. I don't really play MyGM or MyLeague so I can't speak to those.. However just based on gameplay and the modes I have played this game to me is a 7.5 or 8 at the best

Wait you can't do a fantasy draft ?

Another review I can't take seriously because it gives a game with fundamentally broken defense way too high of a score...

You can do a fantasy draft in "MyLeague" but can not in "MyGM"

I would like to know why everytime now I go to the free throw line my controller turns off. And I have to turn it on over and over again until I complete the free throw process. And it only happens on the my player mode.
