It's a little late and I don't know if this is new lol but,
I just discovered how to skip the opening intro by incident!
Here's how to do it:
1. Backup your 0A and 0C files, we'll need the original 0C file later
2. Open 2K17 explorer, select 0C then load achieve
3. Find "boot_movie.mov", right click it, then import with ANYTHING(whatever xxxx.iff)
4. Apply changes, wait for it, then close 2K17 explorer
5. DELETE the 0C file that you just changed
6. RESTORE your backup 0C file, put it back
7. Fire up the game, you'll see
BTW, it works for 2K16 as well
