In three months, we will receive our eighteen installment of NBA video game series, NBA 2k17. A lot of expectation is riding on the game since its previous installments critical acclaimed well in the recent years and NBA Live is not releasing until 2017. As there some reviews from IGN, GameInformer and Gamespot that praised the game as the "sports video game of the year", there are some reviewers (including gamers) that criticized the game for broken to the point that last year's edition looks better.

Such as LeBron James can easily bump by players smaller than him like Stephen Curry, which is not realistic. Also, poster dunk rarely work as players with high duck rating tries to dunk over a opposing player, he will lose the in mid-air or hit the rim. This needs to be
