if you never played this game you just wouldn’t get how unique the community was. The music, the streamers, youtubers, gameplay, builds, parks, etc. everything was just perfect
I agree with everything besides gameplay lmao people would spam ankle breakers all game until they got someone to fall. Every white also dropped everytime. Other then that it was pretty good
Everything about 2k15-2k17 will forever be unmatched the community, the parks, the builds, dribble vids , and so much more man I’m so glad I got to play all of those 2ks it’ll never be like that again
I started crying watching and yes it’s that sad…. This was when the community was at it’s best. Chris Smoove, Solluminati, Cash, fredo etc.. and I truly don’t think we will ever get the feeling of playing another 2k that was this good again and it’s just sad
that’s crazy i was frr in 5th grade playing 2k and grinding my parents frr wanted me yo get off but i did some but prolly one of the best times of my life
@@the-_-kingz17 i been out of high school for 3 years now and I still reminisce about those prime years 😂 even as a senior live it up bro cus the world gets pretty hectic afterwards
i was going through a bad break up and having to work n shit and this game still made life seem amazing, its really deep how some games can make life alot better , bully, gta games, good 2k games, all make life better, i think they realized this and started going backwards on purpose so we all go outside and spend more money on other things.
I was never a sports guy to go out and play pickup, but this game single handedly got me into hooping. When something is done right..its more than a game, its inspiration.
@@stevenbooker7201 you must not have played much cuz there was definitely not as much of complaints as there is now really most of the 2k community complaining started in 2k18 n after now ofc the games before that weren’t perfect at all by any means but man we’re this mfs FUN ASF
@@ej4094 lmao y’all wait a couple years and completely forget how much people just didn’t like this game when it was out. It’s the 2k fan cycle 1. The newest game is ass 2. Next game comes out and the last game some how becomes “underrated”
Miss you and this content, I remember seeing you in 2k17 at high flyers recording your Westbrook video he was my favourite player at the time these were some of the best times of my life thanks EOC you’re immortal in the 2k community
there hasn't been a more perfect moment in time than when this game first dropped and the prime of it... from September of 2016 to September of 2017. best 2k of all time.
I still play 2K17 to this day because it was just a great basketball game fr, in my opinion it’s the best 2K Ever, You Just Can’t Touch it, This Game will forever hold a place in my heart
I remember all the posterizer contests I was a part of during nba 2k17 lol. Besides that sillyness, this was the first 2k I bought with my own money. I remember playing this game in the living room during warm days while the windows were letting in tons of sunlight. Man the nostalgia of this game is making me miss my childhood
@@AyooKDot you ain played 16🤦🏾♂️😭 parks was better on thea sunset courts inna day time wit da smooth court and rivet after rival day was jus a sight ta see ☀️
This made me cry ngl I was so young playing this game I was so trash at it to I grinding all night and all day on this game I was only 8 too that’s crazy definitely my favorite 2k I miss this game sm
I remember 2k16 being free on PSN and that’s originally how I got into it. Made sure to get 17 the day it came out and it was easily sum of the most fun I’ve ever had playing and grinding a video game. The amount of builds you can use in that game was unmatched. Every game after that never felt the same this one was truly the best out of all of them. Only time I had fun after that was when the VC glitch came out in 2k19 and I abused tf out of it to buy mad packs in MyTeam
I always remember when I wasn’t playing 2K16 & 17, me and my homies would smoke and watch those prettyboyfredo story times with it playing in the back. Miss those times so much, 2k16&17 will always be special to me❤️🔥!!
Dead ass, this was my best build/character too. I was killing everyone wit my build!! That’s the thing tho everyone was killing everyone, that’s why it was so fun!!!
Damn man. This game was so broken yet so legendary. I miss these days. Spending all night just grinding park going on streaks. Everything from the Paul George loading screen to the goated soundtrack. Man I miss it. The 2k community was so toxic yet so fun😭
Personally I don't like nostalgia, too easy for depression to creep up on you. Good thing I enjoyed 2K17 while everyone else *HATED* it at the time. This game was the true beginning of the end for this series.
When it dropped was called the worst 2k of all time but as the time progressed it really grew on us and developed love. 2k17 was truly a underrated gem especially park
This was the 2k that released in my final ever year of school I have such good memories of going into school after playing the night before and talking about the ankle breakers or contact dunks we got.
Ah, the last good 2K. Every mode had the same amount of love. MyCareer's story felt realistic and grounded. VC wasn't needed to boost your attributes, they were only needed for cosmetic items. Your grinding was actually rewarded and didn't feel draining. Rachel was still hosting 2KTV. Every 2K creator were genuinely doing it for fun and not for the money. The soundtrack was perfect. The shot meter was super accessible. Everyone played their role correctly in MyPark. Orange Juice was and still is the best MyCareer mechanic ever.
i miss it so much man, 2k was fun and life was just better at this time. me and the guys would play all day still having fun.. crazy how the community and game went backwards
Fr could play this game all day and night then get mad when it was time to get off Soon as you get home from school hop back on and play it the whole day again
It’s crazy that 2k17 literally used the same parks we had in 2k16 and it was still one of, if not the best 2k (it was my favorite). The only thing that makes a good 2k is having good gameplay.
This game was very broken but i do miss this game but 2k16 will always be the best 2k i would rather have 2k19 gameplay over 2k17 idc no one say because if 2k copy 2k17 gameplay people would complain about it lol just like they complain about left right and 2k17 had way more broken things like the ankle breaker and more things that did not make any sense at all.
I agree lol 2k17 gameplay was very broken people saying this is the best 2k in reality it's not lol just imagine if 2k had did 2k17 gameplay in the newer games a lot of people would complain how broken it is and saying it's the wrost 2k Reason 2k don't be listen because of them lol i don't blame them 2k19 and 2k16 are the best 2k let's be real
@@KD-td3un because it's nostalgia lol just like people saying 2k19 was a copy of paste of 2k18 what happened people saying it was the best 2k and nostalgia they even did this with 2k20 even though they said 2k20 is the trash and complain about 2k having the same park and copy of paste of 2k19 and more bad thing's about the game when it 1st came out just like 2k19 then 2 years later "it's the best 2k" now and "it was a fun 2k" you know what's even more funny they doing the same thing to 2k21 and 2k18! lol 😂 you know it's the truth
This game was broken in many ways I remember having to watch the credits to get that update pop up cuz my files kept getting corrupted but it was still just as entertaining as 2k16
should I even do a 2k18 one? 😂
Good luck bro that game is hard to like 😭😭😭😭
only 2k that I only played for 2 weeks and quit lmfao
No
That game was TRASH please don't 🙏🏽
Do it bro it was awesome, I spent 2 years on it, I didn't like 2k219

That shi was such a grind tho lol. Felt so rewarding
the 2k community was at its peak in 17. Hopefully 2k drops a game that brings people back again
simpler times back then. wish we could go back.
I love this! I vaguely remember some of the 2ks so to see this really helps and brings back the vibes. 2K17 was my beginning. Appreciate the work!

Best 2k of all time a gem we didn’t appreciate enough until it was gone 💔

MOMENTS IN TIME.
2k16-17 were the best online parks by far. IMO 17 takes the cake like damn even tho that PG screen could take up to an hour it was worth the wait
The amount of nostalgia 😭🔥🔥. This game was soo dope
Hand on heart I still play 2k17 because it's genuinely better than 2k24 or any game since then 17. It's still so good doesnt feel old at all
You play on new gen or old
I remember when seeing ankle breakers and posters would get everybody hype
I'd happily take remastered 17 for 2k23
