Boost Your NBA 2K17 MyPlayer With Fitbit
2K and Fitbit are teaming up to reward NBA 2K17 players who take 10,000 steps in a day with in-game bumps for their MyPlayer.
Once you register your Fitbit in the game (in the MyPlayer inventory screen) and it syncs up with the data from your wearable. If you've reached 10,000 steps with your Fitbit in the last day (the midnight to midnight time period), you'll get +5 to all your attributes for the next five games or until midnight, when the whole thing resets. BTW, if you've started a game that runs past midnight, you'll retain your boost through that game.
The initiative – available on only the PS4 and Xbox One – starts November 25.

Our Take
It'll be interesting to see if they have to patch this for balancing, or if that +5 will change.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
