Pros
Pro 2K17 really emphasizes control in its gameplay
It's really nice to be able to precisely control so many things in the game. Being able to play inside the 3 point line is relatively new, and gives you a lot of fun options. On top of that, green shots (or perfect releases) are 100% accurate now. You can also control your AI teammates through your shotcalling, and they respond very well most of the time.
Pro Chaining crossovers is great
Chaining together a bunch of dribbling techniques lets you break ankles in a ton of fun new ways. This also finally gives the option of playing between the 3 point line and the paint, something that was fairly nonexistent in previous installments of the 2K basketball games.
Pro Lebron James mode
A new mode added to the game is the Lebron James: path to Greatness where the player chooses how to play out Lebron's future career. This is a bit different from past star modes as it is not based on anything the player has done but what the games player will do for their future.
