Aside from the mobile app face-scanning technology, there are a couple of other things to watch out for. That includes the Auction house which will allow players to buy and sell items in the game, earning virtual currency daily and the flexibility when it comes to making console items at the MyPlayer Store even while on the go. NBA 2K17 is slated to be released on September 20 with game versions for the PS2, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and the PC.
