This year’s version of NBA 2k17 marks a major step away from the loose narratives and scattered cutscenes of games past. Lee wrote, produced, and directed Livin’ Da Dream, the framing device for the first half-dozen hours of NBA 2K17’s career mode, like it was a feature film; you’re invited to rewatch it in full on your player’s private practice court after you’re led through the conclusion by enough gameplay. You play Frequency Vibrations, “Freq” for short — that’s your nickname, everyone will call you that no matter what name you actually choose, and it carries over into your post-narrative career, so you might as well get used to it.

For years now, 2K17 has designed their basketball games to be as realistic as possible, rewarding smart plays and good shot selection. In 2K17, driving to the basket and then passing out for a corner three will lead to far more accurate shooting than, say, trying to create shots off the dribble.

For those not familiar with eSports, and I’ll admit to being one of those people when 2015 started, it’s defined as “organized multiplayer video game competitions, particularly between professional players.” In other words, it’s like a tournament of you and your friends at a college dorm playing Madden NFL 16, but these guys are professionals.

And though they flopped in the views department, getting just 96,000 people to watch while Mets-Yankees over on ESPN averaged nearly 2 and a half million viewers, it got people talking about other people playing competitive games. In today’s social media world, such a feat is called generating buzz, and though more people spent that Sunday night watching more ‘traditional’ sports like baseball, the NBA playoffs, and MLS, the Twitter world was still very active in talking about nba 2k17 mt coins Arizona State and California facing off in video games.
