In my career on certain days my player will move much faster than on others. When I play online my players move at half the speed they do in when I am playing offline.While 2k17 looks great and boasts a lot of new features that are mildly exciting, it is no longer fun to play. I suggest dusting off a copy of 2k12 if you want to play a fair and balanced basketball game that doesn't place profit motives over offering longtime fans the game they deserve.

That if in comparison with other annual games this game is the best of all time (fifa, etc)In conclusion is an addictive game that can entertain you for dozens of hours. Although if you have a recent previous game as the nba 2k15 or 16 I do not recommend buying this video game as it does not offer something spectacular that sets you apart from previous releases.

Nba2k17 review and more!Pros on the game.Graphics are amazingStory mode is spot onBunch of game modesShoes are wonderfulConsNba2k17 review and more!Pros on the game.Graphics are amazingStory mode is spot onBunch of game modesShoes are wonderfulCons to the game.Servers are terribleA lot of glitchesUpdate take forever to uploadNba 2K is 60 dollars in some cases is quite pricey, but is worth the wait! Your can buy it at most gaming stores or online. Nba is the perfect game to play if you are a basketball fan and just love basketball. You can play online in myPark and play against other people and make new friends. There are also other game modes too for example there is blacktop and myLeague or myGm or myCareer. MyCareer is the way you level up your player to go online. So if you want to have fun and play basketball Nba2k17 is for you.Nba focuses on one category for the game modes and that is myCareer. In my opinion they did a amazing job with myCareer, you get to experience what it like to be a true nba prospect, like going through college and getting scouted and even getting drafted! There are cutscenes that let your interact through the whole story mode. You even have a girlfriend and you have to choose whether to pick the nba or her. You can customize your character too, Like you can choose what he wears and your can even customize his personal look.Nba Has some cons though too. Some of the bad things is the servers to play online modes are super slow and very choppy. In Mypark You lag out of the parks and your end up playing the best people on your consoles . I wish there were levels and each level brought different people. Nba has a lot of glitches too, like when you're dribbling the ball might go through your defender and the same thing might happen on the other end to you too.Overall Nba2k17 is an awesome game. I recommend this game to all ages and hope that your have fun playing this game and hope this review helped you. (:

*Regarding online play*-So you can still pick the same color jerseys as the opposing team - there is no warning for this. You only find out*Regarding online play*-So you can still pick the same color jerseys as the opposing team - there is no warning for this. You only find out once you go to tip off and there is no way to change the jersey color after starting the game. The teams should be forced to choose alternate colors.-Input lag is awful.*In general it feels like I'm playing QWOP.*-How many times a game can a missed shot bounce off the rim over the backboard? Alot apparently, this happens 5-6 times in a 5 minute quarter game. This is just another game stopping pain.-& 7 footers are unable to make layups or dunks when within 2 feet of the basket.-Many times 7 footers choose to take jump shots within 2 feet of the rim.-Sometimes these 7 footers take a jump shot only to have the ball hit the underside of the rim.-Passes repeatedly soaring over the heads of teammates.-Controlled players running out of bounds even when not using the turbo button.-Being called for a charge even when not using the turbo button.-Being near the hoop and double teamed, wanting to pass to the open player on the other side of the hoop, for some reason my player chooses to pass not to the open guy 3 feet away but to the heavily guarded teammate out by the three point line.-Players celebrating baskets instead of getting back down the court on defense - there is no way to stop the celebration nor speed it up allowing the other team to get a fast break basket because of programmed celebrations.-Over the back calls repeatedly all game long.-Control of players is awful. Feels like the players are on ice.-Multiple times I have passed the ball in from out of bounds only to have the point guard pass it right back out of bounds. Turnover.-Multiple times after grabbing a defensive rebound my player immediately throws up a full court shot.-Feels like I have little to no control over how a player takes a shot. 3 feet from the basket with no defender around? Fadeaway brick shot.-I hate that the other player can use player free throw % for free throws and still mess with my free throws - they should make it that if you want to be able to mess with my free throws you have to change your setting.-They've made the in game offensive and defensive coach settings somehow more confusing and more difficult to find stuff. It was fine before. Now I can't seem to find an option to 'guard the paint' or prevent threes" they seem to have taken it right out.-When ever a player catches a ball or grabs a rebound there is lag, they cannot seemlessly keep moving, they stop as if they hit a wall and it takes a moment before they can run again. It is near impossible to get fast breaks because of this.-there is still no way to request a rematch after online play.-there is still no way to send a friend request to someone you are playing against in online play.-there is still no server browser or game browser to challenge certain players to a game once their current game is done.-There is still no direct way to challenge players listed in the stats portion of online play.-Everything feels greasy and clunky. Player control is awful. I feel like I'm button mashing half the time because the player isnt responding, it''s like 2k has these scripts for player movement and once it has committed to that there is no passing out of that script. I've seen players fumbling with dribbling the ball and they will dribble for several seconds right out of bounds.-So many charges, it should not be so easy to get a charge outside of the painted area.-Why did you remove the ability to set the offense and defensive plan prior to the game??? Why did you change the set up and make it MORE CONFUSING and DIFFICULT TO CHANGE?***Other terrible parts of the game***I tried doing the myplayer but just like last year I am forced to watch these terrible cutscenes - let me skip the cutscenes on the first myplayer play through!!! I stopped playing myplayer because the cutscenes are terrible and I dont want to watch them.PLEASE FIX THE GAMEBREAKING STUFF I HAVE LISTED ABOVE.Why do my players perform programmed celebrations after dunks and free throws which allows the opposing team to get fast breaks?
