Re: NBA 2K17 Steps Up Its Game With New Fitbit Integration

This is pretty awesome. Although I work a desk job so it's more difficult for me to get to 10,000 steps.

Good old (OS) always getting worked up over something that you don't even care about..BegBy why not just move on why let a game or company get you so upset?

I do care, hence my reaction.

I'd prefer them to not try to implement new monetization components, but instead work on fixing the issues with the game in it's current state.

How can that be hard for anyone to understand?

I doubt it took much effort to do this and I doubt it took away them working on fixing issues. There's more than 1 person that works at 2k.

I don't understand the reaction. IT COST NO MONEY.

Your answer is in my quote. I'm not sure how to be any more clear. I'll try again.

It's my opinion that they should focus on already existing issues instead of spending time on other ways to implement any new features.

I understand your point in saying it costs no money, however to think that they are doing this without a monetization model in play is naive.

Honestly, this is a very cool, innovative addition in a genre that really isn't that innovative anymore. Personally, I don't play MyPlayer at all, but do wear my fitbit while playing basketball 3-4 times a week. It's just nice to see a video game company giving their players an extra incentive to workout and stay in shape.

Get us to go outside so we spend less time on your game and don't realize how terrible it is? 🤔

Well played 2K

Well played

So you can't just use Fitbit off your phone?

Downloaded the app it seems like the phone will track your steps. Sucks if you only can use it w/ a Fitbit device.

This is insulting. Another cash grab.

and then you said:

Do you honestly think they devoted time to this project for free? What about the inevitable time they'll spend in the future on maintenance? It's 2016. How can you possibly think they aren't trying to make money? If it's not making money, it's costing them money. Guess what businesses avoid almost exclusively when possible...I'll give a hint. It rhymes with losing money.

And then you said:

So - this is about 2K making money. Clearly. I know I am pretty simple but I can figure that out at least. What a dumby like me fails to understand is why are you so negative when the money 2K stands to make will NOT COME FROM THE CONSUMER? If Fitbit pays 2K $$ for this promotion - how does that take away from the consumer (us)? How does that translate into you not getting the game you want? Or do you believe the time they spent implementing this promotion specifically took away from perfecting the fast break gameplay?

Bro - you can like or dislike the game - absolutely your right. I mean no disrespect.

If or When this Fitbit thing becomes a required feature that cost the consumer money - I will stand in line with you with the pitchforks at 2K headquarters. Until then... lets have fair criticism - not blanket statements. It's a free feature. Let's just enjoy.

Correct. You need a Fitbit device to use the app.

I'm not opposed to features like this or anything that involves them making extra money, but only if the other aspects of the game aren't kind of a mess.

It's just the principal. To my mind I feel the game this year isn't good and regardless of my opinion there are known bugs alongside legacy issues. At least fix something on that front before attempting new features, money making or not. It's just extra insulting (to me) that the newest feature is obviously out to make money.

On the face of it, I think it's awesome. Most of us could probably use some more exercise and getting rewarded in game is great incentive. I'm probably just jaded but I don't think it's that cut and dry.

This seems stupid, great idea, but stupid to only be aimed at the MyPlayer audience, so the pure MyGm'ers and MyTeam'ers are doomed to stay fat?


Why allow the game to give your award according to your gamemode, or game currency of choice.

"Yay, you've gotten your 10,000 steps, what would you like:
1. MyPlayer Boost
2. My Team Points
3. MyGM Levels - or something better.
4. VC reward.

Well looks like I'll need to find something to get my Fitbit up onto the ceiling fan now
