Basketball fans and gamers alike have been super excited for the worldwide premiere of #Friction.
NBA 2K17 will provide the most authentic and real gameplay you’ve ever seen in a basketball simulation from 2K Sports! Check out the trailer released just today showcasing the ridiculous graphics for a basketball game…
It is scheduled to be released in September for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. Paul George is the cover athlete for the regular edition of the game, while Kobe Bryant is the cover athlete for the ‘Legend Edition’. In Italy, the cover athlete is Danilo Gallinari, and in Spain, the cover athlete is Pau Gasol.
Improvements
One of the biggest touted improvements is concerning the game’s returning MyGM and MyLeague game modes. Both modes have the player acting as the ruling force of all basketball operations for a specific team and allow the player to customize many aspects of the team. MyGM is more focused on maintaining a realistic, functioning team and impressing the owner, whereas MyLeague offers far more customization options. In both modes, the player simulates through seasons, changing personnel, playing in games themselves, and participating in off-season activities, such as the draft. The introduced features focus on league expansion. As well as happening dynamically, the player can start either mode with up to 36 teams and may modify many aspects of every team. The player will go through the process of creating an expansion team in a model very similar to real-life occurrences of expansion teams.
