The one thing that I believe would tremendously improve the presentation would be the use of the lighting we see during the half-time highlights. Just seems very well done... It's brighter, more organic and closer to what we see in the real arenas.

It's almost a little too bright and blue-ish, but having the brightness and tone move in that direction would be phenomenal (skin tones are too saturated across the board).

What's weird is MSG seems REALLY bright, when I think it's one of the darker arenas.

I'd like to add that Rome wasn't built in a day and this game just came out. We should expect that there is a learning curve that we must overcome in getting all aspects of this game down. We should all know by now that 2k pays attention to these boards and we need to be careful what we complain about is too easy or too hard. Complaining about the wrong thing could force them into making this game worse. So we should be very mindful of what we say here until we can say we have a full grasp of the game.

Well, I'm playing it on my Vita using remote play so that may be contributing to it looking awesome during the half time highlights.

It does look a bit more "realish" or "filmy" in some respects. Which is why I'd like them to push the brightness more in that direction. It looks like some sort of post-process effect. Wonder if that's why the framerates seem significantly worse.

Don't know about Twitter but on Reddit I've seen a couple of complaints about the difficutly. However, in general people love the challenge this year.

For example;

Look at MikeB's great response.

Game is amazing. Might be the best 2k ever. Love the soundtrack as well.

Although I have a couple of things that I'd love to see changed/fixed.

1. In game substitution menu. I have no idea why they changed it.. it is terrible. Not only does it take too long to switch players but sometimes some players dont show up (mostly centers)

2. No music playing after timeouts. After I call a TO, it gets completely silence. I'd love to hear some of the soundtrack music when I call the TO.

3. When I turn down commentary volume, I cant hear the Half-time and Post-game show (ernie, shaq and kenny are talking, but i cant hear a thing). Although I can hear the pre-game show and the doris burke interviews just fine. Minor, but incredibly annoying. I dont want to have to turn on commentary in game just to hear the halftime/postgame show

Wow. I'm livid right now. That new smell is quickly wearing off.

I just got kicked out of an offline MyCareer game and was told some features require online access. What?!!! How does that require online access?!

I can't access 2k store for the life of me.

I play a lot of online h2h games and I should be 7-2, but only three of those are appearing on my record. Frustrating to say the least.

Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

Got it and popped it in yesterday before I went to a HSFB game. The intro left me very impressed, I liked that a lot. I decided to play a game first before I started with my career, and I noticed that it had a completely different feel to it. I sucked, terribly. Then I popped into the tutorial and practice mode and started off my My Career.

My career looks great so far the story is good so far (not even out of college after I played today). But I have a twin black sister. Wouldn't normally have a problem with that if I wasn't white, but I'm white. Still not that important to me, it's a minor detail. I dominate my first two high school games, which wee a bit of a learning experience before I played my first online game. The guy quit when I was up big in the 3rd

Played my next online game today, I struggled Kobe couldn't hit a thing. So with 9 seconds to go I inbounded at half court down by 1 and gave it to D. Russell and had a clean after I dribbled past the defender but instead of a layup he fades back away from the basket and misses the shot. It was terrible but a good game.

First off offline against the cpu beautiful game good repesention of nba basketball but online different story

The good
Good connectivity easy to find a match, defense is much better

The bad
Jump shoot is off for no reason wide open mid range shots with good shooters.

Most off the scoring comes off fast breaks no matter what team or type of player its unrealistic

Hard set up offensive sets cause the off ball movement just stop all of a sudden

Inside scoring seems to be only option if all your shooters cold
Defense recovers to quickly

Has Anyone been able to have success in the post with the new controls?

Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

To make the game open up more follow czar tip on turning see plays "All" function on in the coaches mode. It helped me with freelance and my offense opened up more because I could see what players were supposed to do...caught some pretty good mismatches and open shots for players coming of screens...this is for those who are struggilng with scoring

Online this year has been FLAWLESS. Absolutely no lag. It stutters every so often but after multiple games i have ZERO imput delay this year. Ridiculously good

Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

I think I'm at the point where I'm going to blow out the cpu on pro (maybe) or get blown out on All Star.

Welp. Means I'm going to be very angry playing this game.

But challenge accepted.
