## GameBench Verdict

NBA 2K17 is a resource-hungry game that pushes both iOS and Android devices to their limits. Top-end iPhones still manage play the game seamlessly, and older iPhones also deliver acceptable frame rates. However, many Android devices fail to maintain the 30fps minimum required for good playability.
