    What does NBA 2K17's slogan, "This Is Not A Game" mean to you?

    To me I interpret it as meaning even more fluid lifelike animations and graphics with a ridiculous amount of signature animations giving players a more unique personality, better more realistic story mode, better commentary, and a more pronounced presentation with possibly a TNT broadcast package.

    I hope there will be a TNT broadcast package in 2K series for years. But I don't think they will add it to 2K17. If they added, they will definitely release some information except several screenshots till now.

    I really doubt if we can get a new scoreboard tho.

      Nothing. It's a slogan, all marketing speak.

        What does McDonalds' slogan, "I'm loving it" mean to you?

        To me I interpret it as meaning one is enthused by the instant gratification that McDonalds provides.

                I'd hope that means this will be a very realtstic 2K. Da Czar's slogan could be used if they're going for a slogan to represent realism.

                  Last year was "Be the Story"......


                  Which meant nothing to me. Seemed to be more about that MyPlayer story mode (which I haven't played 1 second of - in any 2K).


                  So my assumption was that this slogan is aimed at a market that has nothing to do with me.


                  Meh....

                        If it's not a game then lets see what happens when we're pressing buttons under the rim and nothing happens, or the cpu mirrors controller input perfectly.

                          'This is not a game' yet proceeds to include fantasy/story modes every year.

                          Good one.

                            It means they're liars. It's clearly a game.

                            But in all seriousness, it's probably a marketing slogan for My Career and nothing more.
