    Is NBA 2k17 worth the buy??

    Hello friends. I usually buy a version of the game every year-2 years. I play exclusively franchise mode and I was wondering if it's worth the purchase to pick up 2k17 or just continue playing 16.

    Thanks!

    Yes. Miles better than 16

      They've added expansion teams and advanced rotations (specifying who plays what minutes in what positions) this year to MyLeague/MyGM. It's a good year to pick it up if you play those modes.

          It's unplayable out of the box. Look at all the threads about broken defense. I'd wait until at least one patch, which is slated for November.

            haha, I am mad at 2k this year for bad balance, but it's not 'unplayable.'

            It's more like it seems playable but ends up making you angry. It seems like it would probably be fun if you played offline, but online is a mess.

            I can agree with waiting for a patch, though. If you wanna ball offline, tho, what have you got to lose?

                "Miles better" no way... GTA V is miles better than GTA IV.

                2k17 is 2k16 after they finished making the game.

                It is the same thing as every year, so if youre cool with that, then it is good to buy, but be real.

                  It's pretty buggy right now. Honestly I would wait. I'm sure the patch will fix things.

                    Wait till the game gets patched. By then the game might even have a sale as well.

                      2k17 has been great for me. I base that on how I couldn't imagine going back to 2k16. Just way too many improvements to so many little and big things. 2k tries to swing for the fences and takes a beating on the forum for it every year. This game is just too good, don't wait for the patch at least get it and practice the new controls or run a few play now games to get a feel for the different players.

                        Yes, despite all the flaws it really is still the best 2K game I've played

                          Personally, I would say the game isn't bad, but it's definitely not worth $60 yet. But I can get pretty anal over the unrealistic things that happen in sports games.
                          This post pretty much sums it up. For me, it's the best broke game I've ever played.

                            Basically, yeah.

                            I hate that this game gets 9/10 on popular sites. Would they give GTA 7 a 9/10 if it was just GTA 6 with 3 new clothes, some broken new features, and a new story?

                            That said, we all buy it... It is better than 2k16, the new stuff seems cool (whenever they get around to fixing it). It definitely sucks having no other options - where are you NBA Live??

                              2K16 was more fun. Half of the features in 17 are broken. AI, defense, timeout menus have huge issues. Gameplay sucks, circus shots go in. Up and under moves feel really random. As do layups. I regret paying money for this.
