The controls I felt worked ok, the control stick though seemed to have trouble on occasion picking up exactly what I wanted it to do and this was frustrating and I do not think it was because of my giant sausage style fingers! I did notice that you can use a controller with this game if you wish, but that kind of takes away the on the go point of this version of NBA 2K17. About This Game : Following the record-breaking launch of NBA 2K16, the NBA 2K franchise continues to stake its claim as the most authentic sports video. The NBA 2K series is not an arcade style game so it does have a learning curve. There is certainly some work by you required to get the hang of the controls. I feel that they give you complete control over the action, but they have simplified it a little so that the screen is not too cluttered with buttons. You play the game with a virtual joystick on one side of the screen and a series of buttons on the other.

To be fair though, NBA 2K17 does fair quite well. Too many mobile games that have tried to emulate their console big brothers fall at the control hurdle.

With this special edition you can celebrate Bryants career through. Of course, all of the flash means nothing if the game does not control well. The special edition of NBA 2K17 brings the celebrated Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant.
