NBA 2K16 Digital Short - Stephen Curry: Beyond the Shadows

[Goffs]

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - Stephen Curry: Beyond the Shadows

I was having a civil legitimate debate about the net animation/physics in the video. So I see nothing wrong with what I pin pointed since it did look odd to me. That net animation looked like one from Live itself and that's why it caught my attention. I also initially posted here "this is nothing more than hype video for release." and that's good because this is all 2K needs to show to sell hype!

King B has a point though...

from that basketball pic from the other game lol

It's truly a sad day when a basketball gamer can't be tempted into trying any "NEW" bball game that's different.

With that being said, I think I'll stick to exclusively playing this series, since its been fresh every year since its re-release!

Legit or not you've pretty much made up your mind on what game you want but yet here you are. So no matter what 2k shows you pretty much will say it's going to need work....blah blah blah....

Mabye they hold the gameplay back because they have something really big for us this year . I still have hope

Exactly. I'm starting to feel the vibe that they acquired the TNT presentation license for 2K16 and beyond.

I'm really optimistic and excited for this game...so I don't want this to be considered "nagging" but.... I really don't see the "body scan" difference, maybe they only got a small amount of players to contribute. Oh well

From that far shot I'd have to agree with you, can't quite see the difference there....

LD2K says a gameplay trailer is coming also some exciting news. Not sure when though.

One thing that looked pretty good in the clip for sure I don't think anyone has mentioned yet is the shorts. When CP3 jumps on the Steph crossover, his shorts look really good, not the massive air bags that have been complained about previously in the series.

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - Stephen Curry: Beyond the Shadows

Okay, breakdown of what little we did get to see.


Curry's shot-- much, much improved over anything we've ever had. After all, it's a mo-cap of Curry. The signature stuff is all there-- except Curry's release seems just a TAD slower than his real life shot. He seems to hold and release slightly on the way DOWN rather than on his way up like in real life-- then again, this could be a case of the player controlling Curry shooting a tad late. Still, Curry should be tuned so that his optimal release point is actually a bit BEFORE the peak to get that quick on-the-way-up 0.4 second signature release.


That bent forward follow through watching the shot drop is very Curry-- it's one of his many signature landings. Only thing that seems a little off is that Curry's such a showman that he would probably be bent much more aggressively if that was actually a big shot. Maybe what's throwing me off is the audio hyping the moment but Curry's animation not actually being all in. But it's not bad. I hope he actually has a full 3-pointer shot package.


Dribble moves didn't look especially improved, but I do know Curry was captured dribbling. Hopefully there's more signature stuff we haven't seen.


I did notice that all of the animations looked a little less spry than the actual Curry. This may be a problem with the game in general, but the few animations shown just didn't quite exhibit Curry's quickness, craftiness or his explosivenses (and he's not even that explosive).


Facial capture looks... okay. The best we've ever had, but in moments I thought I was looking at 2K15 (which wasn't bad, but Curry's likeness wasn't as close to himself as say Durant or Iguodala were).


Spike Lee's narration in the segment is promising. His tone strikes a good balance between drama and authenticity, and I hope that will carry over to the feel and tone of the MyCareer story mode this year. It's good that the mode is being helmed by someone who both gets narrative and gets basketball. I think his involvement will ground that aspect of the game better than any years past (hopefully no shenanigans like Steve Kerr being fired to be replaced by Doc Freaking Rivers your second year if you join the Warriors).


Lastly, like the Curry celebration-- except that they didn't capture one thing that makes it feel fully like him: how WIDE he's able to open his mouth when celebrating. Seriously, it's uncanny how much he's able to distend his jaw when he gets hyped. I swear he's an alien.

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - Stephen Curry: Beyond the Shadows

They're being extremely stingy with the gameplay this year. Sheesh.. The game comes out next month

Actually compared to last year they're way ahead , we didn't get a trailer till the 25th of August

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - Stephen Curry: Beyond the Shadows

I like the gameplay portion that shows him shooting the 3 pointer and he does the Steph lean forward to see if it went in.

On a scale of Draymond Green to Avery Johnson how wide would you say Curry can open his mouth Sundown?

Also noticed the muscle flexing at the end....you can see his shoulders muscles flex/stress along with the forearms....

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - Stephen Curry: Beyond the Shadows

Looks like they changed the whole rim/net aesthetics...

2K15


2K16


Now to hope they fixed the sound effects of the rim.

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - Stephen Curry: Beyond the Shadows

Like Sundown said, i wasn't too impressed by that crossover.

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - Stephen Curry: Beyond the Shadows

It does look a bit wider at the bottom. Good catch.
