Game vs cpu would be great if not for the legacy issues that remain.....

Miss your second free throw and the cpu is fast breaking the other way with a numbers advantage. How often do you see that in real life? Happens every time in the game.

When the cpu decides to score it will score. I've played great defense only to have a guard get in the paint and throw a pinpoint accurate pass when the ball, his arms and other body parts impale two of my defenders bodies. So much for a live ball. My guys get hung up by bodies on the sideline and take forever bumping into players as they try to get free while running a play yet the cpu can ghost through people if they absolutely need a bucket.

I've had smothering defense on a player that has picked up his dribble beyond the timeline and yet that player is able to pinpoint a bullet pass 30 feet to a player under the basket that my cpu controlled defender decides to not cover.

With all of the new plays and freelance offense the cpu's go to is still spamming the paint with dribble moves.

When it counts the most your cpu controlled teammates go brain dead. I've played tough defense and forced a bad shot only to watch my two teammates under the basket watch as the ball hits the ground. Usually the shooter swoops in and gets the ball and either passes to one of my brain dead teammates man for an easy bucket or get fouled.

The game is so good otherwise. It just stinks especially when you're sweating out every possession and the cpu gets the cheap stuff. Random guy open under the basket. 40 foot laser accurate passes. Body parts going through people.

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

try playing 5 on 5 in the Pro Am. I had a game where there was 4 teams on the same court and then all of a sudden everybody was a ghost. only thing was showing was the ball and the circle under your guy... we played a game with no characters on the screen just to get the win. TERRIBLE!!!!!

I feel like they have dumbed down the help of the help on p'n'r. It was kind of too strong in 2K15. Anybody noticed it ?

One thing I have to give huge props to 2k is shot blocking. I have a 7'2 perfect center, so I really can see how great shot blocking is. From players timing to miss jumping and still going for the ball, it's outstanding this year.

myCareer is really annoying.

I understand the idea that since they got Spike Lee, they thought they should give him reign to do what he wanted, but it's linear story where you sit and watch 10 minute cut sequences with zero interaction.

At least last year I got to make some choices. As it is, I'm just watching a movie between games, which is the last thing I want to do.

All my 7 games today people were exploiting the cherry picking, no matter how i put my defense, my sliders, my defense emphasis, etc etc etc,,,,this is a big flaw.

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

That Spike Lee joint was sooo boring, scenes were way to long and dialog heavy, the story had no type of twist, and the main character was never in any real danger, but it was very well written and acted.
The only reason I play MyCareer is to see the cut scenes, now that those are over im going to buy VC to boost myplayer up quickly, I dont have time to grid from a overall 55 plus I will be spending most of my time in MyLeague.

I've played probably 10 6 minute quarter games and I don't think the CPU has shot more than 30% from deep in any of them.


Other issues: not enough offensive rebounds or fouls.

I'm having the exact opposite issue. On SS, the computer does not miss at all. Driving to the paint no matter what, and full court cherry picking. Awesome

I seriously feel like no matter what the CPU puts up, they make. While I can't hit ANYTHING.

Time to drop to all star. Lots of BS from the CPU on superstar

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

Things I'm not liking:

- Shots are never made when contested. At least it feels that way. I'm not talking about tight coverage either, but even if so Curry is known to make a layup or two when he's going in, much less a mid-range jumper or three-pointer. They're made like 2% of the time. For a playmaker like Curry, he makes a lot of unassisted buckets doing his thing around defenses to get a shot off. I was 2-15 with him in FG's. Again, I wasn't being unreasonable with him at all. I went for Freelance movement, and some of it is a bit sluggish or is passing to the wrong guys... another time for that. I'm just not scoring so I'm taking it out on the game, when really I know it's that I suck. Still doesn't take away from my first statement though.

- Crowd noises and reactions are abysmal. No loud cheering or booing for any sort of buckets, fouls, rebounds, turnovers, etc. They're just not there.

- I found out why I am getting timeouts called on me when rolling the stick with Remote Play. The entire touchscreen on the front of the Vita is like the PS4 touchpad. That means the slightest touch with even a slight hair becomes a timeout.

- Rim physics a bit iffy. Too many back-iron shots from deep finding their way in the basket, when really that rarely happens.

2K please upgrade the studio for Shaq, Ernie, and Kenny, it's annoying to look at just too darn generic with 2K and NBA displayed everywhere! I suggest adding a flat screen in the background for highlights, and please add some paper and/or laptops on the top of the desk!

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

2k needs to eliminate that 'touchpad timeout'.

Just the 'slightest bit of contact' from your fingers accidentally rolling off the sticks (or missing a 'square button' press) INSTANTLY calls a timeout.

Too many times I've been driving to the basket.. and just before I finish... the ref stops the play for an inadvertent timeout.

C'mon Son - Who's idea was this? lol

It's true for the touchpad as well? I assumed you would have to press down its button for it to activate. Anyway, it's the same issue on the Vita which are right next to the sticks, no roll-off needed. This could be addressed in two ways:

1) Change the RP configuration so that the "touchpad" is in the middle portion only, and not on the full touchscreen (do it like most games where R3 and L3 are in the bottom corners of the touchscreen instead of the rear touchpad).

2) Give three timeout options: Manual, Assist, and Auto. Assist would be what Auto is now, and Auto disables our ability to make timeouts... at least in-game. Maybe we could press pause or something, but I was frustrated when I gave myself two technical fouls just trying to do a stick move.
