NBA 2K17: Why you should buy this year's game


As gamers stare at posters scattered across the world’s Gamestop and Datablitz locations, they’re probably asking themselves a set of familiar questions.

First, they’re wondering how much they can get for trading in last year’s edition of 2K Games’ NBA 2K entry.

Second, they’re wondering which version of NBA 2K17 will get them the most for their money.

Third, they’re wondering what new NBA 2K17 features could be worth upgrading to get their hands on.

A quick check of the game’s website doesn’t immediately answer that last and most important question.

The NBA 2K franchise is massive. Focusing on the exploits of the National Basketball Association, NBA 2K has become the game to have if you’re a basketball lover that enjoys playing video games. Working behind the scenes is a simulation engine that has yet to be matched in any other game featuring the sport.

MyPlayer has the best player customization of any sports title. MyGM and MyLeague break away from the core game mechanic so that gamers can expand their horizons into managing a team. MyPark allows for quick pickup games with other people who enjoy the game.
