2K today announced that NBA 2K17 will kick off an unprecedented, in-game music series: Park After Dark, check out the trailer here. Park After Dark will transform and elevate NBA 2K17’s MyPARK mode into a high-energy music destination with special performances from music icons, including Future, Snoop Dogg AKA “DJ SNOOPADELIC”, DJ Premier and more to be announced. These one of-a-kind performances are open to anyone with NBA 2K17 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC.

NBA 2K has history of featuring music icons in-game, from soundtrack curations by Jay Z and Pharrell Williams, to original, custom tracklists from top DJs like DJ Khaled, DJ Mustard and DJ Premier in last year’s NBA 2K16. Music is an integral part of the NBA experience, and as the #1 NBA video-game series, NBA 2K continues to push new boundaries in entertainment – especially as NBA 2K17 Park After Dark will feature an eclectic nighttime setting reminiscent of today’s biggest music festivals, complete with a center stage for the performance featuring a superstar avatar.

So instead of fixing gameplay issues we introduce bullcrap like Fitbit integration and MyPark Music Mode?

WOW. NBA Live 17 I have high hopes for you not to disappoint now -.-

glad its released, but it may be too little too late for the community's sake. us die hards will play no matter what, but park after dark, mountain dew tournaments, etc are not for us. its to attract non traditional 2k gamers and the next generation of gamers.

also just wondering, are they still doing the pro am tourny in december? with the way things are now, i hope not?

man, hopefully park after dark gets some folks to return to the game *fingers crossed*

Everything is not a gimmick, cash grab, or something that takes away from the development team fixing the fast breaks or defense. This is a cool extra (like Fitbit) that adds to the experience of the game. If it's not for you no big deal. It's not costing you money and 2k did not choose this over fixing game play. Can we please not go on and on about how bad 2k is for having non gameplay things added for the game? Let's just try at least?

I know this will be ignored but I just had to say it.

So Alabaster left the Euro LG to become the park after dark DJ?

Points for the idea -- that's a cool sounding thing if they can pull it off.

But I hope this has been in the can for awhile and they haven't spent precious time on an extra thing when so many outstanding gameplay/mode issues remain.

This is the least satisfied I've been with a 2K game ever and I'm eyeing the next Live installment to see what, if anything, the EA team has learned.

Not ignored by me and I completely agree. Don't get me wrong I think this a bit unnecessary, at least for me. I won't even think about using this feature but there is likely a fanbase that will be into this.

I also understand that 2k is a large studio. They could and should be capable of working on gameplay improvement while other members of the team work on a feature such as this.

Do people think that it takes every member of the entire studio to work in unison on everything that is done in the game? It's very possible, and likely, that while this feature was being worked on other members of the team worked on other things.

I just laughed so hard out loud in class when I saw this. XD

This is a disappointment? or do you just not care about it? which one?

Because for all the park players this is probably one of if not the most anticipated features to be in the mode.

Well, tried online and it's lag fest. If this goes through will it remove the lag online? No. It will be complete opposite imo, it will add MORE lag to the online game.

You laughed hard? I don't care for gimmick features like that, that is correct. I want them to FIX fundamental issues with game and make it play at least similar to real-life basketball. At the moment it's not playing ANYTHING like basketball. More like FIFA-esque NBA game.

Fitbit is stupid as it is. Fulfill the milestones and you get boosts for your players? Get real. Is it arcade now they sponsor? It has NOTHING to do with simulation and I bet, next year, they will scrap that idea.

Vanilla game was BEST NBA 2k game ever. After patches it feels worse than NBA 2k16. My 2c.
