Game Stop Expo Hands-on. Ask me questions!

Re: Game Stop Expo Hands-on. Ask me questions!

Yes it feels different! Curry is deadly! if you manage to create some space off the dribble or off a screen you will make the defense pay but you have to work for it!

I mentioned on the other thread that LeBron posted Curry and he had no chance. You could feel Curry being bullied down low. He made the shot and I had no chance. Hopefully it feels as good when I try Duncan,Shaq and all those monster bigs.

I couldn't be able to tell how they adjust in game since it was 1 minute quarters but the CPU does send help defense in those miss matches and will force you to take bad shots. I'm feeling defense will be huge this year!

Regarding Help Defense for USER and CPU:

Did help defense come when Lebron was backing down Curry (I'm assuming this was down in the post)? I hope player awareness is truly factored into the artificial intelligence programming. If Lebron was the CPU, and you were controlling helpless Curry, did your teammates see the mismatch and possibly send help defense automatically OR do you need to call (pressing a button) for help defense.

And vice versa, did you ever create a mismatch in your favor, possibly using a center or big man such as Bogut backing down a smaller guard, say Kyrie, and did the CPU controlled team send help defense?

How about blocks? Can you go up and send someone's shot into the stands or is there still animations where guards drive in and the bigman can't even defend?

I did not see any big swat off the court but obviously Tristan isn't exactly Ibaka or Davis. Like I mentioned early Tristan did go straight up to contest a baseline drive while trying to do the baseline cheese. He didn't block me but he did alter my shot and made me miss. The one block I saw on Klay looked smooth but it was just knocked from the side out to an offensive rebound.

Were there any new offensive systems to choose from ?

Re: Game Stop Expo Hands-on. Ask me questions!

Thanks so much H3LLGWAR for providing all of this info.

This isn't so much a question, but I was wondering if you could tell us one or a few moments that you experienced while playing, that just made you stop and say damn, that was dope or realistic.

Thanks!

Doing a step back jumper with Curry and see him follow through like he knew the shot was going in and it did. It leaves a feeling of satisfaction when making the shot.

I was able to make a pump fake and get my defender to jump and get the foul called. This is something I missed in 2k15 and being a Wade fan I can't wait to pull this with him. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a badge related to this.

Watching Klay cut and take a screen for an open catch and shoot jumper looked smooth.

I'm not gonna go all out and say this game is perfect but most of the people there agreed on this being a different 2k experience.

So being a big Wade fan how excited are you to play with prime Finals MVP Wade on the 2006 fifteen strong championship squad? Or for that matter to have three different versions of Wade (2006, 2013 and current) in the game?

Yes it was on the post and when LeBron got the ball he dribbled twice inside and went up towards the basket. No help came though so I can't say the CPU will send players to help since I really didn't force or faced many post up situations. I also want to mention that when LeBron went up I put my hands up with Curry and got called for the foul. I did not jump with him and in 2K15, having fouls called when just getting your hands up happened way too often. I'm hoping this was just because I had a late reaction and got the foul called and not a norm. The CPU did send help when I got the ball down low after a screen switch. I had Green on the block, gave it to him and Tristan came over to help. I was able to kick the ball out before they doubled me. You press L2/LT and you can post people up (I'm sure this was mentioned before), I saw someone playing trying to post with LeBron and was able to pull his usual post fades smoothly. I can't wait to try skilled bigs down low.

Oh I can't wait!! Specially the 15 strong squad! A lot of players I like on that team like Shaq and White Chocolate.

Re: Game Stop Expo Hands-on. Ask me questions!

Did the demo have those post play camera cuts on? If so, do they still have the camera angle that appears like it's inside the court. A small thing that irked me so much. Any new ones?

Appreciate the response. No other question from me at this time. But just to make a gameplay comment I hope is factored into the artificial intelligence and player awareness. Here's hoping when I finally get my hands on NBAk216 digitally that ...

Lebron's (or any player dominating down in the post) mismatch scenario:

(A) Hope it would be dictated by what happens with other players on the court. If Lebron is having a merciless and absolute dominate game, help defense would be sent much more frequently by the opposing team.

(B) However, if Kyrie, JR Smith and other perimeter players are hitting outside shots, including and especially 3 point shots, even with Lebron down in the post, I hope the artificial intelligence coding gets worked to the point where teammates need to "decide and make a choice" if they want to double up on Lebron and take the risk of perimeter players hitting open 3's or simply allow Lebron to continue to work his magic down in the post.

I hope the above applies to both the CPU and USER controlled team. It's a delicate balance especially in critical moments.

(C) I also hope to see intelligent passer like Lebron throw the ball cross court to the open man when Lebron is doubled. Lebron does it in real life. Hopefully it gets mimicked in NBA2k16.

Can you still hold the charge button inside the paint?

[NyKnAtIoN718]

Re: Game Stop Expo Hands-on. Ask me questions!

Don't know if u answered these questions.
1. How is the low post offense and defense?
2. How is the rebounding?
3.What improvements have they worked on in the low post?
4.Does the servers seem better?
5.Still have that bump steal glitch?
6.What's the 1 flaw you saw so far?

Re: Game Stop Expo Hands-on. Ask me questions!

Any ratings of players we don't know yet? And how was the shooting fouls to three point ratio? Do you get rewarded more for
Driving now instead of chucking up threes?

[2_headedmonster]

Re: Game Stop Expo Hands-on. Ask me questions!

When driving do animations still carry you to the rim even its congested?

[MarkWilliam]

Re: Game Stop Expo Hands-on. Ask me questions!

Yes I did see them. Ball bounces off the rim differently now and you can grab those.

Just a follow up to this, so you noticed different ball/rim physics?
