NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

What I'm most impressed by, to be honest, is how the addition of body scanning is really bringing these players to life.

Right? I was expecting it to just finally give some guys real looking arms or something, but it has made a dramatic difference in player appearances. Players really pop out at you and I've got to say, body scanning has blown me away so far.

Man these guys know how to put out a hype video and get their fans drooling. But when they say things like the most realistic experience you will ever play just makes me cringe. This has always been a series that looks great and looks realistic but is filled with cheese, exploits, and loss of user control. I just played an online match in 15 in which I won but was outrebounded offensively 21-0. The guy was absolutely terrible once I took his 3point back and forth cheese away and just launched dumb shots up continuously. However the game accomidated him and kept him in the game by giving a totally unrealistic advantage. I even switched up line-ups and tactics because I knew his only chance was offensive rebounds to open 3's or putbacks. Despite my efforts I could not manage to stop it from happening and won the game on by a mere 4 points though shooting 25% higher from the field. The game has spawned a generation of unsim gamers because it rewards poor basketball IQ. How am I supposed to believe it will be the most realistic experience ever for a sports game when previous iterations seemed to be the least realistic. It looks realistic on the outside but I want a legit game of basketball to play not just cool animations.

While I get what you're saying, they aren't inaccurate in making that statement because, tbh, it's true. You played a cheeser and that's what cheesers do and while I'm not giving them a pass for some of the exploits online that gamers use (there will always be exploits btw), this is still the best basketball sim experience you'll find and it plays great when playing against someone who plays with actual bball knowledge or adjust sliders to get the desired result out of the cpu.

Mike Wang's gameplay blog addresses both of your issues hopefully they wont be a problem ever again

Man, whatever 2k does that manages players facial expressions is amazing...

Don't recall seeing that in Space Invaders.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

What's a man gotta do to get some Jazz love around here? Only thing I've seen is Trevor Booker getting posterized lol.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

At first watch, color me impressed. I like what I saw and heard.


Graphically (because you all know I'm a graphics whore), it looks like they got Giannis' new fade in!! Woooo Weeee!!!! Not hopefully They'll get Jabari's new 'do in.


That Mayo fro tho....eh...looks too frizzy and looks gray.


Still, like to see my Bucks getting some love in the vid!


Lighting definitely seems to be better than 2K15. Not sure if it'll be up to 2K14's level, but we'll see when it's released.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

Hard to truly judge from the video, but it does look like they have Giannis too dark-skinned again tho.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

D-Wade was blocked by varejao in the video. We all know how 2K "embarrass" former NBA Live coverboys in their trailers. lol

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

But the scoreboard. Haha but finally blocking getting some major attention the different block types and tracking more manual control, the post is going to be my work. Hurry up the 25th!

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

Love hearing about physics and foot-planting.


I just hope 2K realizes these guys are world class athletes and can usually stop on a dime. Or change directions very quickly. So I hope they don't overdo it.


Like in 2K15, I hate how guys gather themselves, crouch and they jump to block shots.


"Input lag" (offline) is another aspect I hope they fixed. When I move my stick, or hit a button, I wanna see my player make a movement right away, and not a second or two later.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

It would be cool to see moving 3s go in more. Guys like Korver, Curry, Redick, Danny Green, KD, Harden can shoot with their momentum going forward, turn in mid air or while slightly drifting irl(Mostly on catch and shoot jumpers) and not be a effected.

The RS/X + LS moving shot doesn't work from outside the 3 point line in 2K15 and the catch and shoot game is weak at times because you have to wait for shooters to be completely still before shooting. The defender would already be in his jersey by then. Another thing I'd like to see is more fouls on 3 point shots. Guys who abuse the double team, zone defense can just sprint into a shooter and throw off his shot or they will unrealistically come out of nowhere and block Curry or Harden's jumper which should not happen.

Calling fouls on wild closeouts, and calling jump shooting fouls would fix 90 percent of the defensive cheese on the game. Been saying that for years. Great post.
