Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

This will be quick since I only got to run a little bit after I got it all installed last night...the foot planting is noticeable right away, and it makes all the difference in the world in defense. Graphics are superb as usual! Sometimes when playing I find myself just saying WOW! The game is a work of art! More to come once I get more time with the game. At work now, and this will be a very long day! Can't wait to get back on the sticks.

Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

The gameplay is so smooth and there is so much to do that i am overwhelmed in a good way.

It's cool that they gave 03 Dirk an 88 rating instead of the 85 that was originally thought.

The only compaint that i have so far is the uniforms clashing in play now online games. I wish there was a way to prevent both teams from wearing white uniforms.

Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

Played a couple of games last night (digital copy - PS4) and man, this game feels worlds apart from 2K15 (which I played for a long time) ... in a good way. The CPU feels like you are playing a human opponent, they are much more aggressive with the ball and in how they run their offensive sets/plays. I didn't see a lot of the PG just holding the ball and waiting for a teammate to pass the ball to.

Learning some of the new controls is going to take some time, too, especially since 2K15 is ingrained in my memory currently.

CPU also runs through its star players. Miami fed D. Wade and Bosh the ball, while the Knicks were constantly going to Melo on the wing/block.

Graphics are a nice bump up from last year. Lighting has improved and the rims and ball are a more understated color this year. Scuff marks in the paint are noticeably visible during free throws, which is a nice touch.

Net and rim physics are improved. You'll see so many different bounces off the rim now when you and the CPU shoots, making it tougher to determine if the ball will go in or where the miss will eventually land.

Audio is great. Love the pre-game show. Crowd sounds good and I think those that complained about how the ball sounds hitting and going through the net will be happy with the changes (it sounds different to me) 2K made in that area.

Looking forward to playing more and once I get a better feel for thr controls, this game will truly shine. Another great effort from 2K.

--- Classic!!

Tempo of the game is nice/Played Kings vs Clippers---Rondo could not get around CP for anything/Called for a pick & roll--they switched out so DeAndre Jordan was guarding Rondo---a quick hesitation and blew by him easy.

I really like the defense/blocked shots are phenomenal.
I like the Player interviews that they cut to..
Jump shots pop! gotta relearn how to shoot with everyone! (alot smoother than prior years).
I love the passing also (Rondo did a reach around drop pass to Cousins--BEAUTIFUL i tell you!)
Gonna take some getting used to going in the post--I keep throwing lob passes when i'm trying to post--lol..

Played around in a bunch of game modes and loved what I saw. Park was fun, my PF was slow in transition, but a beast around the rim. Simmed stats looked pretty good in MyLeague. Played a pno game against the lakers, and while I lost a close game, it was really fun trying to lock down Kobe, the lag felt so much better.




Right now, this is looking like a game of the year contender
