NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

[ackonish]

I am playing on PC and in my opinion game is much better optimised than last year. Love the gameplay it take some time to get used to it. Press conferences are nice, practices, love them!

First NBA season is a bit of boring with all the cutscenes, on the second season we get our my career back. Servers on PC are much better. No lag, there are people on my park, there are people in pro-am, gauntlet mode is interesting and fun to play. Still hadn't tried mygm mode, since there is so many things to do in this game now...

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but when i was playing the Kings at the end of the game they played if you happy and you know it, and the crowd clapped and stomped their feet when prompted to, really cool.

Love the game so far. Got a few things that I don't love about it and I hope they get addressed.

1) Substitutions. I'm getting used to the controls though, but they weren't broken to begin with. I understand their reason for wanting to keep the players fingers on the right stick, but it's takes away from the game. It takes time and focus off the actual gameplay. I don't want to "LOOK" at what player I want out and then do it again for what player I want in. It's terrible.

2) PlayNowOnline Choosing Opponents. So they changed the system online now which is great. Love the ranking system. However, you can't tell what jersey or what team your opponent is going to choose. Why? Sure, make it random, but if they choose the same colored jersey as your own team, what gives? Like today, I used the Lakers with the Home Yellow throwback jersey. My opponent was the Warriors. I was like cool, another newb who wants to be the best team in the game. No problem. And then when the game started, he actually chose a Yellow throwback jersey too! So now we got two teams with the same colored jersey.

There is absolutely no reason for this. Hope they fix this asap!

3) Jump Ball. My goodness why are they flailing? For realism? It's just a jump ball. Make it like 2K15. Simple. Whoever hits the button at the right time, wins. No need for all the flailing like Magikarp from Pokemon.

That's pretty much all I can think of. Other than that, I really dig the game. Graphics are just like 2K15 but the body scans helped the presentation a lot. Each player has it's own weight to it. The commentary isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I do miss Steve Kerr though. He was good imo. I love the defense and offense controls. It does take a bit of getting used to, however, I think it'll benefit the player in the long run. The passing is great. Shooting is dope. No more lag on some shooters online. For example, Jordan Clarkson, Jodie Meeks, Steve Blake all had some whack releases when you play with them online.

That's pretty much it. Hopefully I can get a hold of a developer and talk about my three main issues. ESPECIALLY the PlayNowOnline jersey crap and choosing your opponent!!! We should be able to see who our opponent chooses and what jersey they choose!

Absolutely great game. But, for someone who is used to play the game on PC with keyboard, lack of button mapping for keyboard is huge disappointment. And I am not having fun using stupid gamepad.
Other than that, lots of improvements!

Please allow us to select jerseys while viewing the opponents jerseys at the same time so we don't make this mistake (wearing the same color).

Fantastic menu. Quick, responsive and clear. The best yet.

The movement feels free and organic. Finally. Just lost an almost 20 points lead with Cavs playing against Thunder. Durant and Westbrook took over the game in the second half. Couldn't stop them to finish the game.
Be careful not to jab step when near the end of court line as you'll get out of bounds; your ai teamamtes will sometimes block shots to help you with defending; passing is so great- it's finally quick, snappy and responsive. The same can be said about fastbreaks-they are a joy to execute. Contrary to some opinions I love the new substitution and playcalling menus. It was a great idea to put it all on the stick. It's guick and seems natural to do.

The amount of first day/first week jubilance is immense. Just wait for the game to soak in, it happens every year. I thought 2K15 was great the first day I got it but hated it months later.

Yeah I'm kinda used to everyone saying the game feels different all the praise, then when I buy it, it kinda just feels the same.

I was too excited for MYGM and MYLEAGUE. CPU agrees to trade Kevin Martin for Andre Drummond. Really?

Gameplay is stunning.
Don't like change of on fly settings from dpad to stcks. Really don't like it.

Can you override the CPU trade in MyLeague? I know you can't in MyGM, but in MyLeague, you're suppose to be able to override any terrible trade logic by the CPU. It may be an inconvenience though.

I think you can, though I found this trade through Trade Finder. How Pistons want to rebuild their team if they ready to make this move? They even don't have solid buckup for Andre.

Teams undrstanding what they need to do to become better. That was the best news about NBA 2k16 for me and things like relocation have close to zero interest for me. I was so happy about that drastic improvement for this mode and now old story goes on, ughh...

I would like to hear some response from guys.

Playing cheesers is funny man. When you beat them you walk around like you are the NWA World HEavyweight Champion. When you lose to them, you feel like garbage. I damn sure woke up this morning with Revenge on my mind. I need to go into the post more because I have been neglecting feeding the ball inside. I think I might have posted less than 5 times in 10 games. I know that won't fly long term.

Having only a few games under my belt, consider playing through the center. Toss the ball down in the paint, you may not actually look to score, but more of a decoy. Get ready to pass to the open man using your center. Or do what the Warriors might do and have the center at the top of the key looking to pass the rock. Play through your center could be a strategy that you enforce every once in a while.

I had Andrew Bogut at the top of the key specifically looking to pass the ball. I had Harrison Barnes or was it Green cutting to the basket for the layup/dunk.

Will do. I need to start using the "Quick Iso" after I feed the ball inside sometimes because stuff seems cluttered at times man.

Why do my rookies look like this??? #1 pick towns



Is this a joke? Do i have to download something to get the real rookies with their real faces?

You need to let the patch download and install. Once that is done, reboot the game and you should be good to go.
