NBA 2K17 has raised the bar once again, not just for future iterations of the series but for every sports game developed moving forward. Hands-down 2K17 is the most authentic, and most entertaining hoops game on the market.

It’s “best” mode is now an afterthought, brought down by pointless interactions and cutscenes, and a mindless grind that tempts in-game purchases. Thankfully, the core gameplay fundamentals around it have been refined and improved, and alongside many other great modes and a fantastic presentation, make for yet another fantastic NBA 2K entry.

Overall, NBA 2K17 is a brilliant replication of the sport and even with its issues, it still plays a fun and engaging game of basketball. As long as the development team keep tweaking and adding better mechanics to the gameplay, then the series will keep taking the strides in the right direction. Its a shame that the NBA 2K series doesn’t have any competition these days as when theres competition, it pushes the best to get better but even without it, the series is going in the right direction and not only giving us the best representation of the fast and dynamic sport, but also the most polished package of a sports title that we have ever seen.

NBA 2K17 is an extremely fun game and the graphics are great but the loading times can be quite long.

NBA 2K17 ist nicht nur jedem Basketball-Fan wärmstens ans Herz zu legen. Auch allen sonstigen Sportspiel-Veteranen sei zumindest der Download der offiziellen Demo namens "Der Auftakt", die einen Einblick in die ersten Stunden der Karriere gewährt, empfohlen. Wohl nach wie vor kein anderes Sportspiel kann mit einer ähnlich detailtreuen und umfangreichen virtuellen Abbildung seines Vorbildes aufwarten. Der Status der Online-Welt sowie weitere kleinere Ungereimtheiten trüben zwar das Gesamtbild etwas, dennoch wird der Genreprimus für Monate vor den Bildschirm fesseln können und ist als Steigerung gegenüber NBA 2k16 anzusehen. Die Neuerungen wie der Wurfbalken bei Korblegern verfeinern das Spielgeschehen zunehmend und wurden sinnvoll implementiert. Sollte das Problem mit den Archetypen im Karrieremodus noch dieses oder zumindest nächstes Jahr bei einer gleichbleibend soliden Story ausgebessert werden, kann man von einem nahezu perfekten Sportspiel reden.

Fans will be able to tell that NBA 2K17 has some issues that’ll annoy longtime fans of the series, but that doesn’t in any way deter it from being an awesome game of basketball.

NBA 2K17, in my honest opinion, is the undisputed greatest sports simulation game. The slight gameplay kinks and exploits are part of the greatness in the sense that they allow for interesting and unpredictable gameplay.

NBA 2K17 continues the tradition by delivering a more refined version of the best basketball simulator out there. With increased options in ball control, a better (but not so great) story, and a ton of customization options, NBA 2K17 is a blast to play even if it is set back by sluggish online connectivity issues.
