Anyone else having trouble with FT shooting? It seems that if I don't get a perfect release, I'm probably going to miss even with 80+ rated FT shooters. I usually get slightly early/late releases but in online games I still end up shooting like 2-8 and such

I was having the same problem last week. I just shoot a little early. And I've been hitting at a good rate.

I might've missed it during all the Summer pre-hype but can I access the D-League in MyLeague or is it only in MC?

It would be great if 2K could patch the MyCareer so that your first "real" season starts this year, not 2016-17.

This has been an issue for me since the last patch in 2K15.. difference between really bad FT shooters and really good ones is very small because of it.

Does anyone feel like they have slowed down the default game speed offline? I feel like the the plays and animations are more fluid and less twitchy. You can see the plays develop better and decision making on both ends of the court is easier.

What is the point of the shot meter under players? I constantly get the bar to be either a fraction to the right or left of the line shooting wide open shots off drive and kicks, yet I rarely make midrange jump shots to fall. I just lost a game to the Pelicans with the Raptors where I held the guy to about 6 points in the fourth coming back from a deficit but Carroll and Demar were brick city even while being left wide open

At this point I'm just going to attempt contested layups to try and draw fouls instead because its infuriating missing so many open shots

Edit: https://vid.me/KclY <---- happens way to often

I'm actually having the opposite problem, when I first ran plays it seemed they were really smooth. Players were actually running around screens properly and getting themselves open. Now it seems they I'm getting more plays where they're not hitting screens properly so when they do run off the screen the defender is right on their hip.

I should mention this only happens like maybe 20-25% the other times the plays seem to run fine

Any solutions for the high assist numbers point guards are getting.

It's a combination of open big men down low (at least twice a game) and perimeter defenders leaving shooters wide open by wandering away for no reason (another two times a game, at least).

Outside of those issues being unresolved, point guards are getting double digit dimes with ease and not sure how to control that.

Unfortunately these assists are a product of poor user AI defense than my own man to man which usually results in having that point drive down the middle. But I can easily correct those mistakes.

Nope I wonder what would happen if user defensive awareness was upped. The teammate defense is "brain neutral".

I think it is combination of passing being too accurate, slippery on ball defense, bad teammate AI, late rotations and some control taken away from the user. I will spam the steal button off ball when I know they are going to pass but it will not register until after the CPU gets the ball not this is on SS/Sim

Pros:
Footplanting system and freelance offenses are jaw droppingly fantastic. Presentation on par with TV basketball. Wingspan and vertical reach attributes are finally in.

Best basketball game of all time? No!!!

Cons:
Truly horrible CPU-Hum gameplay. Poor balance. Human input is ignored most of the time or input delay is of cosmical proportions. Infuriating AI teammate defense. Live ball physics works only in CPU opponents favor. CPU defense is not challanging, it defies laws of physics. Playing versus AI is a constant, unrewarding grinding experience.

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

So far I f*ing hate the new movement/foot system. I don't care if it is more realistic, it plays worse! It's like my players are walking through mud. I feel like there is a disconnect between what I'm doing with the controller and the player on the court. Movement feels way too heavy imho.

Also, the ball and the CPU hands are clipping through me like crazy so he can get to rebounds or receive passes. Teammate AI defense is hilariously bad. Defending P&R seems broken because of that. He will not stay with his man regardless of P&R defense setting.

It's pretty bad. It's like you don't have control over your guy. Or at least not like you should.

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

The only time I feel a lack of control are during some pass reception animations.

I find it's way more improved over last year and find it very playable.
I remember you from last years threads and i agreed that last years input lag was horrid. You noticed the improvement this year right?

I bumped the game speed to 57 i'm enjoying this game very much other than the stuttering which i assume will be fixed soon.
