Nba 2k17 have a way better mycareer mode/story than last year's Spike Lee's joint. Animations look a lot better and it's not as glitchy. Playing as your player and switching to Michael B. Jordan is great.

Great game, they are trying to fix the roster update problem. Rosters aren't accurate and won't be for probably a few weeks, halting my ability to start a my GM. Other than that no problems, plays great

Graphics are tweaked and improved, but passing could still be improved. AI teammates make odd cuts or stop their cuts short when you pass them the ball. The substitution interface is really clunky and a major step backwards (and frustrating!!!) from previous years. Not a big upgrade from 2k16, but still the best basketball game available.

The game changes in its game play slightly and adds increased option in career and playing online. Recommended purchase for 2k fans and those looking for the best in PS4 basketball game experience.

This game looks amazing! The character models and the motion capturing are top notch this year. Pulling of crossovers and other moves are simply done with the right analog stick and is a joy.

Nba 2k17 continues the greatness of the 2k series. The shooting has been improved and the fluidity and smoothness of the game is much more noticeable. Everything flows together so smoothly and the game truly replicates its sport better than any other sports videogame for sure. Players look and feel different, from tattoos and physical appearance to their free throw routines and abilities. myGM and myLeague mode have also been upgraded with A LOT more customization ability while myCareer loses the theatrics of NBA 2k16 for a more focused and rewarding approach. All in all, NBA 2K17 is the best basketball game ever and is a must-have for any sports gamer.

NBA 2K is the best basketball game on the market and has been for some time now. The career mode is fun although the voice is preset to some gangster want to be. The dynasty and GM mode are fun but need a better online support. Doing this with 4 friends should be easier.

Best 2K NBA game in a few years. Controls and ability to play defense are better than the last few generations. Online gameplay still sucks, too much lag even with a super fast internet connection. The lag effects my ability to get my release right on shots.

It's Better & Worse

3 might be a little harsh, but I'm hypersensitive about this game. They should have done better, and in some ways I think the game is worse.
First off the gameplay is different, more organic, more rag doll, not as l easy to cheese. This is the best thing about the game.
If you are a 2K collector, or just a collector, sure get the Kobe Legacy Gold Edition. However if you aren't a collector I wouldn't bother with it. The best part is the 100K of VC, but you'll blow through it fast.
I got it cuz I'm a huge Kobe fan, but disappointed what you get. A Kobe poster that's just a replica of the cover, a mouse pad of the cover that I thought was lame, but if you need a mouse pad sure. A Kobe Topps card, that I thought was cool. A Kobe controller skin, but that won't last long. The in game Kobe My Team is a 5 game card, I thought that was weak. Were paying $100 for this edition and we can't get a permanent Kobe card ?
The shoe collection isn't complete only some off his shoes, that was false advertisement. The jerseys are team USA jerseys and one yellow Laker jersey, and a Team USA Jordan Jersey which looks better than Kobes jerseys. Also you get a Kobe in game jacket that one is pretty cool.
Don't get this if you are a Kobe fan IMO, only get this if you are a collector.
Soundtrack again is awesome,they hit it outta the Park every year to me.
My Team Online is a little different, a little better, more goal driven I like that. There's Also a single player goal completion thing that you earn coins if you complete to unlock player. That's cool. However collecting cards is harder this year, will take longer.
Gauntlet is now called Blacktop. Again the gameplay is improved so that you'll like but blacktop is not as well done as last year. You get to open one flipping card if you win, one ! Plus your random players you play with are generally better than last years, not many bad cards, but the way you get them by picking colored cards off a fast conveyor belt is lame.
Substitutions is hilariously bad it's like a puzzle to sub guys in now it's a joke. Horrible.
You can't match up in the Park and Guantlet like you could in 14, still auto matches you to your opponent. Lame.
The Park has a camera screen tear as it rotates after a made basket where I am blinded from the court for a few seconds, so annoying ! They didn't fix it with the first big patch and that ticked me off. Wouldn't respond to me on Twitter when I asked nicely about it.
What else ? I don't care for my career mode storyline,. Same shi# every year with different actors. However I did enjoy Spikes dark story last year and his awesome Jazz music, few liked it but me. The prelude was more fun than my career this year but didn't go in depth this year, just played park games to get my guy up. Park is the same as last year other than that screen tear issue and will take longer to be a legend. You get 500K VC when you become legend so you know it will be a war to get there.
That's about it. So get this if you are a collector, but if your just a Kobe fan like me,bjustvgetvthe standard. But I gotta say I just sold it for $50, cuz these things above ticked me off and I expected better. I'm going back to play 16 myself. COD is about to come out, really want to play old school MW.
Again the gameplay is better, can't cheese as much, only get this edition of you are a collector. Buyers remorse as a Kobe fan myself. Just get standard edition if you are a die hard, or pass on it and wait for next years. Hope this helped, just being honest.

Best NBA 2K Game To Date

This is the best NBA 2K game to date, period. The graphics are somehow even better than last year's, then UI is much more slick and eye-pleasing, and pretty much everything received an overhaul and major upgrades.
MyCareer no longer has a completely linear story, MyTeam releases a lot of lower rated cards to start and will slowly build up (which makes the game mode much more enjoyable), and MyLeague has even more customization options than in years past, which is stunning, quite frankly.
