As someone who lives for creation modes, there are things I love about 2k17 (incredible lighting options for entrances, tons of attire parts and hairstyles, create an arena and create a title even better than last year, CAW faces being fantastic, create-a-tron, etc) and some things I'm not super happy with (women being locked to 5'11" and below, men the opposite, sunglasses mostly being messed up and their shape dependent on eyebrow shape leading to severe distortion, body morphing being interesting in concept but far weaker than last year in execution) but it's the same excellent gameplay as 16 with a vastly improved Universe mode (my other big draw) and a huge roster.
All in all I'm giving it a thumbs up for now.
