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

The most important part of any 2K game for me is the CAP. Although the player models for real players look good, the options we have in CAP are still limited.
I went into CAP and had a quick look and was disappointed to find that a 300pound C is as skinny as Rondo. Also, some Classic team players, namely Ben Wallace is as skinny as Tayshaun Prince.

For me this is a huge letdown as it makes no sense considering the amount of content in offline modes like MyLeague and MyGM has on offer. After 10 or so seasons in either mode, all drafted players will have the same body type.

Other than that, the game is amazing. From soundtrack and presentation to gameplay, 2K16 should definitely be sports game of the year, no doubt.

Yeah I was disappointed that we weren't able to pick a body type in CAP. I wanted to make a Shaq like center

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

After finally getting to play today after getting the game last night and the 9 freaking hours it took to install I have to say pretty impressed with the 1 full game Ive played.


I will only play with real life rules and minutes so my 1st game was the 64-65 Celtics and 64-65 Lakers, lost 107-93 on All Star sim with OTB,Charging and Loose ball fouls all bump up by 30, these were the only sliders I touched and I got a wonderful game.


Hard to give much impressions after just 1 game, but I can say it was the most realistic simulation of 1 game of basketball I have ever played without adjusting sliders quite a bit, and even then the smoothest and footplanting were by far the best ever with any basketball game, although we all know the only real basketball game made for a very ong time has been NBA2k,lol.


Free Throws aren't nearly as easy for both you and the AI, and especially when your on the road, love the screen shake when shooting away from home.


Didn't feel the need to have to try and be the guy to get the rebound or try and block the shot because my AI teammates actually played with some brains finally after all these years.


Shooting isn't nearly as easy as it was last year, after they broke NBA2k15 with patching shooting to make it easier. Hopefully they don't listen to all the crybaby online players this year and break the game once again.


Love how shooters come off screens, its so lifelike now, and jus the over all movement is incredible.


Only issue I see in actual gameplay is they still haven't fixed players being in foul trouble sitting long enough. In the 1 game I played the subbing pattern did seem slightly improved but hard to tell with playing classic teams as there isn't many subs anyway with guys playing so many minutes, so that's a wait an see really.


Not sure VIP stats are working, but that might be because I only played 1 game, and I know its use to be 2 games played before you saw any stats in VIP.


Im definitely not a fanboy and will tell it like it is if the game is junk or has major issues, and obviously 1 game played your not going to find major bugs typically anyway. The REAL impression will be down the line if MY GM and My League are working right with sim stats, trades and FA signings, as that's where the NBA2k devs screw things up most years.


I can say from a gameplay standpoint its by far the best ever, no more sliding and your AI teammates being stupid, as well as feeling the Computer itself is getting magical boost to beat you or comeback, not that I ever felt there was a comeback code anyway, but now they just feel to change up gameplans and punish where you weak during the game.

Can't get a game on ProAM because most cowards keep quitting during the wait time. But the servers still having issues for the umpteenth year in a row is disturbing. Other than that I loved designing the home court for My Team.

I think if we wait a week or two more people will have bought the game, thus we can get more people for ProAm. Calling them cowards over a game is kind of weird lol.

I've only been playing for about 20 minutes, but this feels entirely different from 2k15.

OK, I figured out OTF Subs. Down on the D pad brings up your players on the floor now you must use the right stick to the corresponding player you want to sub out The Point Guard is up on the right stick. It sends you to the players on the bench that can fill that role. Now select one based on the right stick direction press circle and he starts to walk towards the Press table. The Manual doesn't go into detail at all, just down on the d pad follow on screen display. That's literally all they say.

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

just had my first green release miss with Joe Johnson lol

Funny thing is on the possession after, I got another green release with Joe Johnson that went in.

Looks like his shot is easy to master

D-PAD Up while on defense brings up the HUD like last year. but you can only bring it up and take it down while on defense.

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

Okay, so I've finished playing two games against the cpu on superstar difficulty and this is what happened:

First game: '06 Heat (me) vs '05 Suns (cpu) = 61-53 loss


One word... speed. The way Nash was moving the ball up the court was absolutely incredible. He was finding open shooters and my defense let me down. He ended with 8 assists but only 2 points because I had Wade checking him for most of the game. The most impressive part was Nash and Barbosa's relentlessness to have Shaq defend the PNR which led to my guards overplaying and wide open jumpers. As for me, Wade was fantastic as usual (27/6/7/1/2 on 12-21) and Shaq had 8 points on 5 shots (got to get more) but the role players weren't. J-Will and Payton kept bricking open shots. I'll definitely get better with this team. Wade IS A FRIKEN BEAST, THOUGH!!!


Second game: '08 Celtics (me) vs '16 Rockets (cpu) = 59-58 win


Unlike the first game, this one was played at a moderate tempo. I must say that the Celtics have a great offense in this game. KG put up 24/8 on 11-14 along with Perkins' 12 points mostly coming from Rondo's playmaking. Pierce/Allen were bad (combined 6-23) especially Pierce (3-14) but he did hit the game winning 3 with 0.8 secs left in the 4th. As for their defense, Boston forced alot of turnovers with strips and deflections, mostly by Rondo and Garnett. Soften had 13 points on a good 6-9 shooting but our off-ball defense prevented him from getting open. Talking about one ball defense, Patrick Beverley was an irritant. He heavily pressured anyone that brought up the ball.




Hats off to 2K. You guys really took this game to a next level. I honestly can't wait to use other teams such as the '00 Raptors, '01 Lakers, '16 Spurs, and more. Got to improve those servers, though.

Finally!

I can see some Golden State Warriors fans in Charlotte.... #whereismyxboxone
