Courtside Review: Revisiting NBA 2K17 on PC

By [Your Name/Archivist]

In the annual cycle of sports gaming, titles often have a short shelf life. As soon as the new cover athlete is revealed and the new mechanics are teased, the previous year’s entry is often relegated to the bargain bin. However, in the history of basketball simulations, few titles have managed to sustain a dedicated following quite like NBA 2K17.

Released in September 2016 by Visual Concepts and 2K Sports, NBA 2K17 arrived with high expectations. Following the critically acclaimed NBA 2K16, this iteration had big shoes to fill. While console players had a fairly standard experience, the PC version of NBA 2K17 sits in a unique spot in gaming history—a mix of technical superiority and eventual controversy.

Websites like NLSC (NBA Live Series Center) and ModdingWay have preserved 2K17. You can download:

The Controversy: The VC Economy and The Servers

No retrospective of NBA 2K17 on PC is complete without addressing the elephant in the room: the microtransaction economy. 2K17 was a pivotal moment where Virtual Currency (VC) became aggressive.

Progression in MyCareer was intentionally slowed down to encourage the purchase of VC. To upgrade a player to a respectable level, players were looking at hours of grinding or opening their wallets. This introduced a "Pay-to-Win" stigma that has plagued the franchise ever since.

Furthermore, the PC version suffered from a specific controversy regarding server shutdowns. In 2018, 2K began shutting down servers for the game, rendering MyPark and MyTeam modes unplayable. This sparked a massive backlash, leading to a lawsuit in the US (which was eventually dismissed) and a notable investigation by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). This event forced 2K to be more transparent about server lifespans in future titles, but it left a permanent scar on the legacy of 2K17 on PC. If you are dealing with the notorious message

MyCareer & MyPark: Orange Juice and The Playground

For PC players, the NBA 2K17 MyCareer is often cited as the last truly great single-player basketball story.

"Orange Juice" with Justice Young: You didn't just create a player; you created a duo. The story of "Pres" (your player) and his dynamic with Justice Young, culminating in the "Orange Juice" transition takeovers, was cheesy but charming. Unlike 2K20’s "You got kicked out of the G-League" or 2K22’s "You are a rapper," 2K17 focused on basketball. You started on the bench, earned your minutes, and developed chemistry. The voice cast—Michael B. Jordan as Justice Young, with cameos from LeBron James and Draymond Green—added Hollywood legitimacy.

MyPark on PC (A Cautionary Tale): Here is where we acknowledge the elephant in the room. The online experience for NBA 2K17 PC is effectively dead. 2K shut down the official servers for 2K17 on December 31, 2018. You cannot play online MyPark, Pro-Am, or buy VC (Virtual Currency) directly through the store anymore.

For the offline purist, this is a blessing. The removal of online pressure means you can use mods to adjust VC prices, unlock all clothing, and max out your player without spending a dime of real money. However, for the competitive player, you should know that the PC version of 2K17 was riddled with "cheaters" (players using memory editors to get 7'3" point guards with 99 speed). If you want clean online ball, modern 2K on console is your only option.

2. Stop the Crashes: The Limitless Storage Trick

One of the most frustrating aspects of 2K17 on PC is the crash that occurs when you save a large MyGM or MyLeague file. This is because the default save location is in a hidden AppData folder that has a size limit on Windows.

How to move your saves:

  1. Navigate to your current save folder (usually C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Roaming\2K Sports\NBA 2K17).
    • Tip: If you can't find AppData, press Windows Key + R, type %AppData%, and hit Enter.
  2. Copy the entire NBA 2K17 folder.
  3. Paste it to a drive with plenty of space (e.g., D:\Games\NBA 2K17 Saves).
  4. Create a Junction Link: Windows needs to know the files moved.
    • Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
    • Type: mklink /J "C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Roaming\2K Sports\NBA 2K17" "D:\Games\NBA 2K17 Saves"
    • Replace the paths with your actual folder locations.
  5. Now your game saves to the new location, preventing the "Save File Corrupt" crash.
