  Android Rundown

  Now, the in-game transitions can be somewhat monotonous, and I personally would prefer a more “natural” switch-off system defensively, but when it’s all said and done, it is hard to find a better basketball/NBA simulation game on mobile.

  Personally, as a big advocate of My Career, I think it’s well worth the investment on alone before even taking into consideration the visual improvements. However, if you’re not a fan of My Career, then the incremental improvements to the controls and gameplay most likely aren’t worth it. Regardless though, NBA 2k17 is a great basketball game that covers most of the bases.

  From an outsider looking in this is a heck of a good sports game. Full featured with heaps to do and gorgeous to look at. I can only imagine how fantastic NBA 2K17 is for true fans of the sport, but even for a newbie like me it's an entertaining and comprehensive package that contains heaps to do.

  A ludicrously polished and tight game of basketball, NBA 2K17 is representative of a series that's at the top of its game. There are a few flaws, as ever, but they pale into insignificance against the consistent excellence that shines through in almost every nook and cranny of NBA 2K17. This is a shoo-in for All-Star status.

  More modes and overall content than any other mobile sports game out there. Great visuals, animation and presentation. Feels a lot like the real game of basketball. Controls don't always feel like they can keep up with the action. On the pricey side for a mobile game by any standard.

  NBA 2K17 doesn’t appear to be a huge upgrade from last year’s game. Some of the changes always feel like there’s a caveat attached to them, and others just don’t go deep enough. Throw in the age that Visual Concepts’ engine seems to be showing on the graphical side, and it feels like NBA 2K17 is just sitting back at this point.

  NBA 2K17 is once again a strong, diverse title that beautifully represents the style and culture of professional basketball and caters to a number of play styles.

  At this point, EA is going to have to pull off a small miracle to compete with NBA 2K17. Visual Concepts is the uncontested developer of not only basketball games, but perhaps of all sports games, period. Every year seems to improve on the last.

  Despite its few drawbacks, NBA 2K17's excitement for basketball is contagious, and it's hard not to get wrapped up in it. Apart from the lacking 2KU mode and stiff recreations of commentators, the rest of the game looks great and plays even better. After finally devoting a significant amount of time to one of these games, I now see why it's such a well-regarded series, and it makes me wish that every sport got the same treatment that basketball does in NBA 2K17.

  The game is polished from top to bottom and rises to the high expectations 2K16 put in place. The breakdown I’ve provided is only a small fraction of what the game offers. Online gameplay, Team USA basketball with both the 2016 and 1992 Dream Teams, Collegiate team integration, a solid soundtrack, and perhaps more replay value than you’ll know what to do with fill out the package. Bottom line: NBA 2K17 is a must for any fan of the franchise or the game of basketball.
