NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog With Mike Wang

[Poppindom]

I think part of the fanbase loss, if there is one, is because some people want something different. I don't think 2k's quality has dipped, there might be some 2k games that people prefer over ithers, but I'd say the gameplay has remained consistent over the years. This is where people start to lose their interest in the game. There are changes each year but they are typically more subtle than huge game changers.

Live offers gameplay that might not be as in depth but it is different from 2K and offers some fun on the gameplay side. I remember playing the demo last year and thinking "I'll just play a quarter." Which would then change to "okay one half...ehh might as well finish the game." It definitely wasn't the same quality as 2k but there was still fun there as it was easier to just pick up and play.

This gameplay blog just sounds promising and while we have heard 2K hype up their game with new features and upgrades I am not sure I have ever heard them mention their game being fun. More realistic, more reaponsive, more sim like yes, we have heard those things but hearing them say this game is fun has me optimistic that this game will be the best 2k we've had this generation.

Well let's see what will happen in the next few weeks. It's a great year for gamers who love to play video game basketball. 2K and Live will most definitely be picked up by me this year.

"Pump fake, draw foul shots have returned"

This is my only concern... I'm hoping Pump Fake Cheese is not back

I hope the " I think im better than what I really am so I complain about 2k when I lose because my ego can't take it cheese" is eliminated too

Man I thought I was tripping the last year or so when i kept trying to pump fake and throw the shot up as I was fouled. In 2k15 they'd just fall over the top of you and I thought maybe I wasn't hitting the shot button quick enough. I remember having that back in 2k10 (along with momentum jumpers depending on the direction you were running with the left stick), I missed it badly.

This blog was 100 times better than that video and I loved the video! Happy to read about all the enhancements that were made on the defensive end(crowding ball handler while dribbling, physicality off ball, etc). I hope this means the return of forced dribble pick-ups from 2k6...Can't wait..I'll be taking 2k15 in for trade towards 2k16 today..

Reading those passing controls already in the game though, I already feel slightly overwhelmed. Plus, as someone else said, it goes to icon passing usually anyway. It's cool there's a slider there now for whether you want accuracy of stick direction or openness but I still can't see myself going away from icon passing and thus missing out on the passing controls anyway (but it's still awesome they're adding in oodles of new animations and improvements to passing).

As for the post game:

I'm happy the 2K team is always ready to change things if they think it's needed, but I still get a chuckle out of the fact that the post play controls have changed again. It's just one of those things they can never settle on, but they'll keep trying to find that thing that works.

I always wanted them to make icon passing options. Tap is best pass available. Double tap bounce pass. Hold is a lob pass. Made a post about it last year. People didnt like the idea. Ha. I only trust icon passing.

The blog is amazing. If the blog is true, we will have the best sports gm ever made. I think 2k will pull it off this year. Looking forward to manually sending my guys backdoor as the defense is denying every player beyond the three point line.

I'm still annoyed at some of be YouTube commentators who complained about how hard the game was when it first dropped last year....not to mention some folks around these parts....then they all turned around and said it was too easy to shoot once it was changed, lol...

The complain cheese won't go away until 2k provides a "win every game I play" option....

Happens every year. I liked it when it first dropped, i think i started a thread not to change anything due to those complaints to no avail

This all seems reeeeeally promising... More player control in defense and offense sounds like music to my ears!

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog with Mike Wang

Thank God for this blog post. The video was nice but this is what I needed. Sounds like everything I've ever asked for in one game. The new pass mechanics sound fantastic. Hell, everything sounded fantastic. Let me go reach for that preorder money.
