US Gamer: 10/10
NBA 2K17 addresses most of my biggest issues from last year in cutting out canned animations and going back to basics with MyCareer, and it's still as polished as ever. It's easy to take its excellence for granted, but Visual Concepts' ambition and willingness to take risks keeps it from ever becoming stale. NBA 2K17 is the champion, and it's tough to see it losing that title anytime soon.
Game Informer; 95/100
In the world of sports sims, no other game feels like it’s even on the same level as NBA 2K17. Visual Concepts continues to embrace innovation and add benchmark-setting features for hardcore fans. With unrivaled gameplay, presentation, and game modes, 2K Sports’ latest hoops game is a must-play for all sports fans.

In the end the NBA 2K series is the gold standard of basketball simulation. From the gameplay, presentation, and various modes to play, if you’re a basketball fan there is something in this game for you.
IGN; 89/100
NBA 2K17 is another rock-solid game in the franchise. It features worthwhile updates to the dribbling and shooting mechanics, and backs up those improvements off the court in ways that make me care about managing my team.
GodisaGeek - 9/10
NBA 2K17 is light years ahead of EA’s Live series and has every aspect of the game covered. There is no greater basketball experience than this, even with the minor flaws. MyCareer and MyGM are better than last year, and even the MyTeam mode has a few added improvements, such as the focus on dynamic duos giving players a boost when played together. If you love basketball and want a game that gives you a wholly realistic experience, this is the complete package.
Operation Sports; 90/100
Those quibbles aside, NBA 2K17 offers one of the most complete experiences in sports gaming. The gameplay is top notch, you have different and high-quality modes to experience that gameplay in, and the presentation package just screams NBA basketball.
It has become easy to say, but NBA 2K17 is an early favorite for sports game of the year and is a must buy for basketball fans of all types.
