Since NBA 2K began its long journey on the Sega Dreamcast, the basketball gaming franchise has been building towards greatness by setting the bar for themselves year after year. But developer Visual Concepts was never able to achieve GOAT status with whispers of NBA 2K11 haunting them every October when the new iteration of the basketball simulation was released.

That’s all about to change.

With a multitude of gameplay improvements -- specifically on the defensive side -- NBA 2K16 is the Michael Jordan of the virtual hardwood once more.

Good review GOTY

Great review to a great game. Hopefully we can get some patches to fix online issues.

2 things that need addressing that come to mind:

1) Facescan is horrid

2) Need an online mode to play with friends on the same team without being stuck on the same player

"There are minor input lag and latency issues that must be chiseled out before the franchise can get to that level, but for now it takes nothing more than a game or two to get used to the timing"
Great review, only the quoted part is not what I can relate to. with any fast Point Guard it is easy to beat the on ball defender. So if VC or 2k can get this input latency issues right, this will be awesome.

My facescan turned into Freddy Kruger after it was transfered from 2k15 to 2k16.

The be the story was cool - it wasn't too long it was short and interesting and something "different" and didn't take away from the game at all - then the second season starts and the real fun begins - I haven't ventured out to my GM or online, but the my career is Aces!

The positives were obvious, but good to read about them again!! Glad you guys recognise the Spike Lee fiasco and acknowledge rubber banding, where are the posters who said it's not in?
