2k17 is by far the best yet! It amazes me the level of detail and time spent gathering commentary and voice overs for all of the various story lines, events and plot twists just in My Career alone. Now that's not to say the game isn't without it's flaws: it's still somewhat glitchy (eg: All Star Weekend in MyCareer mode), and the archetype restrictions on player development are a bit of a pain point for many including myself, but overall I think it's a great release from 2KSports. I think the biggest thing to be aware of is that 2K seems to be steering everyone in the direction of MyPark and ProAM play, as evidenced by the fact that you can only develop your MyCareer player past 95 overall by attaining additional upgrade cap points by playing MyPark games and building your rep. This is not at all apparent and it took a lot of forum visits and blog posts to gain a full picture of exactly what was going on. Would I buy the game again, sure would... the level of realism is unmatched, and though the shot gauge has been revamped again, it's a nice system and the game play is very smooth and intuitive.
