It's worth mentioning that opening credits is flamboyant and the overly personal cutscenes, story development need to some kind of drama. MyCareer start to prevalent, owing to its low-key look into the life of an NBA superstar, and speaking of 2K17, it's to those roots that it returns.
After all the Spike Lee fanfare in 2015, which went so far as putting the Academy Award-nominated director’s name in the title, 2K have toned things down this year, making very little fuss over the people behind the game’s showpiece mode. Which is weird, because at this point in time a lot of folks would argue that the talent onboard for 2K17 is, well, more talented.
I said last year that, despite the shortcoming’s of Spike Lee’s efforts, I hoped 2K would stick with the idea of letting big-time movie folks lend their creative talents to this series, and that through trial-and-error we’d eventually end up with a MyCareer mode that’d be as fun to watch as it was to play.
Both penned and directed this year’s MyCareer mode, while that film’s star, Michael B Jordan, also appears in the game as your character’s friend and teammate. Their names may not be as flashy as Lee’s, but they certainly contribute to a story mode that feels breezy and more grounded than the garbage we played through last year.
The overall structure of MyCareer hasn’t changed too much since last year. You create a custom player, play through a few college games then end up drafted and in the NBA. Once there, through a combination of practice and playing in games, you improve your stats on the way to becoming one of the best in the league.
On the court, there’s some good stuff here. While the visuals and feel of the game are barely-changed from 2K16—not that this is bad thing, since no other sports game is as good at nailing the physical contact and interactions between athletes—there’s a new feature where the off-court friendship between your character and Justice Young (Michael B Jordan’s guy) evolves into an on-court bonus mode. Untill now, NBA 2K17 is already released, if you want to pre-order it, cheap NBA 2K17 MT PS4 for sale.
I used to love MyCareer because after years of longing I found it was the only sports game to really get serious about the whole singleplayer RPG thing. Now that FIFA has come along with The Journey, though, which doesn’t just emulate MyCareer but in many ways improves on it, 2K17 is starting to feel a little passive.
It’s great how The Journey directly intervenes in games, injuring players, sending you to other teams against your will and making forced substitutions to help move its story along. Its dialogue options are also (relatively) more consequential than 2K17's.
Speaking of MyCareer mode, over the years, for its writing and presentation all made improvement, but it's seem to like mere padding to a standard career grind, not something that genuinely intersects with it. Suppose that 2K extremely hopes to start bridging the gap between sports games and RPGs, it more like its been threatening to do for years, if compared to story drive the game for once, it could do worse things. If you want to experience more fun game, buy NBA 2K17 MT more convenience online.
