“Every year our goal is to be the most realistic sports game on the market,” 2K Sports Brand Manager Andrew Blumberg told a room of reporters at Gamescom 2016. From the looks of the recently released screenshots, that statement seems to hold true.
On Saturday afternoon, a new screenshot was revealed of The Golden State Warriors' signing free-agent Kevin Durant. The sharpshooter has a new, sleeker look in NBA 2K17. Durant has a longer, skinnier neck and a noticeably more slender build, which is closer to his real life image. Renders of the past showed a thicker body type.
Other changes to the game include improved lighting and graphics, player fatigue, an inclusion of the current Team USA playing the 2016 Rio Olympics, and the 1992 USA Dream Team which is a pre-order bonus or can be purchased separately in regular editions.
The cover star for 2K17 is Paul George and Kobe Bryant will cover the Legend Edition. 2K17 will be released on September 20 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and available on September 16 for those who pre-order.
