      One my favorite things to do is swing the ball from strong side to weak side with touch passes. It's by far the most beautiful thing in basketball for me. This years touch passes actually look really great.

      Also just add to my on going impressions lol.... I love when the CPU drives the lane and then kicks the ball out for a jumper. I never feel cheated. Does anyone get the same feeling. And for the life of me... IT'S ON PRO....lol...

        No doubt it's easier. But the view is bland...

          I agree... I remember those long threads of 2k vs Broadcast. They use to pop all the time (They still do). But those were the main things that always came out for me. Playing like I'm watching basketball. Or playing basketball like I do in real life left is left and right is right. It's the same reason I have trouble doing moves/skills in FIFA.

            I will always play broadcast. 2K could be the best game on the planet and if it didn't have broadcast, I would not buy it.

            I like to play as if I'm watching a live television broadcast. It's why I still hate many of the camera angles used during the game. A lot of them are impossible to capture during a live broadcast.

            It's still my opinion that broadcast should mean broadcast only camera angles. Unless the camera is actually in the arena, shooting the shot, the shot shouldn't be used.

            There are angles that would require a camera man being on the floor next to the players while actual gameplay is going on. That takes me out of the experience whenever I see it. You see a lot of this during starting lineups and replays.

            It also really bugs me to not see the actual camera man. For example, half-time and post-game interviews. Burke walks away alone. Where's the camera man she's speaking to? I can't be the only one that finds that odd.

            Also why does Doris Burke change her outfit between halves? Does she do that during live games? Little odd things that catch my attention. But mostly the camera angles are my issue.
            "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

            "You'll not find more penny-wise/pound-foolish behavior than in Major League Baseball." - Rob Neyer

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

              I've been playing since Thursday and I must say I am very impressed with all the improvements 2k has made. I'm playing MyGM with the Blazers and every game I've played so far is a different experience from each other. I love being able to run the P&R with Dame and reading the look the Defense gives me. This game of cat and mouse/ read and react is so refreshing because 2K15 was just so repetitive. (ie: blowbys all day)

              Just a little breakdown of my "MyGM" experience

              - I traded for Danny Green and Derrick Favors from the Spurs and Jazz respectively (got a shooter and low post presence to give Dame some support)

              - played 4 games and now 3-1
              - Lost first game to AD and the Pels. (Lost by 10 but they controlled the game and AD dominated us)
              - Win the next 2 against the Suns (Both close games)
              - Stomp the Wolves


              In those four games, I learned the importance of ball movement and adjusting points of emphasis throughout the game. (Adjust all the time, especially when the CPU starts locking you up or they start making runs) What's amazing is that every game, other than Dame usually having a good game (which is a given) is that a different player stepped up each time. I had Green light up the Suns in both games, Favors had a solid 4 games and matched up against AD honorably. Heck even AMINU dropped 18 vs the Wolves. Mcollum was solid as our sixth man.

              I'm just amazed, this game is light years ahead of last years. I understand there are some flaws but its positives far outweigh the negatives. I'm sitting in class right now itching to get home and play some more.

                After a few games in I really love the new passing settings and I feel kind of dumb for complaining first.
                Just one question: How can I do the fancy behind the back passes? Anyone an idea?

                In general: This game is so much fun, even more then last year. I love the new animations and how every players feels different. Started a MyLeague with the Wizards because I never really played with them, plus I absolutely love watching Beal and Wall together. And what can I say? It really is as much fun playing with them then watching them. Only thing is that PnR plays on Pro are a bit easy, but on Allstar I still get my butt kicked. I guess I will change it if the next few games feel so easy like that.

                To sum it up: Greatest sportsgame ever!

                  It's a couple of different ways to do "flashy" passes...I play on ps4 so you'll have to adjust if you play on Xbox or any other console. One way is to change the right stick passing to: "flashy" passes, and you can then do the "flashy" pass by holding the right stick in the direction you would like the pass to go. The 2nd way, is to double tap circle (again, I play on ps4 so adjust accordingly). I hope this helps. Also, keep in mind that they changed the right stick passing this year...

                    One Thing that must be patched is that CPU bullet pass from damn near three-quarter court. That can cost you six or eight points a game because your players have their foot in the sand and CPU make a almost FC pass

                      I agree I play on broadcast view, and this pass is damn near impossible to stop,and it's always on the money too, if they are going keep to this pass in the game, it should not be as accurate as it is...my only complaint thus far is this, and I do notice some clipping. Other than these two things, BEST SPORTS GAME EVER!!

                        Another minor complaint and this has been an issue for a couple years is the fact that sometimes when you try to go to the play art circle it takes too long for your guys to get any movement and even when you try to freelance the same thing happens for human but the CPU is always in constant movement and no matter what level are you playing on that puts you at an offensive disadvantage on a 24 second clock.

                        Again my complaints are about as minor as minor can be.


                        I play on lower levels because most NBA games feature very few blowouts and a lot of come backs. Rather play agianst the CPU where the computer isnt getting too much of a competitive edge and just want to play good games with CPU cheese or their Gary Payton D with bad defenders

                            Yep, IMO, the play art circle needs to be three times the size it is now so that you don't waste those extra 3 or 4 seconds trying to fight off the defensive player just to get to that small spot. I desperately need those extra 3 or 4 seconds.

                              You don't have to be in the play are circle for the play to be activated just the general vicinity.

                                Sometimes I think I'm close enough, but then it doesn't start and I have to move up another "6 inches" and by then I've wasted some precious seconds. I want a giant circle where there is no ambiguity.
