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

    Great game overall...Here are some things I've found that I don't like in H2H:

    1) The strange assistance coach dude that you see from time to time in the huddle. Bad voice acting too.

    2) Too many blocked dunks.

    3) Alot of blocks/strips where peoples elbows, backs etc somehow jar the ball loose. Very unrealistic.

    4) NBA players, even ones rated a 70 or lower, are completely capable of laying the ball in the basket when given a little space.
    This isn't reflected well in this game. Alot of missed layups with minimal contest.

    5) Blatant bumping and grabbing animations that aren't called fouls on the perimiter.

    6) Psychic defense (eyes in the back of their heads) by the CPU players. Legacy issue.

    7) Is it just me, or is it impossible to know where these off-ball players are on the court defensively?

    8) Not really a fan of the new substitution, POE on the fly controls.

    9) Still takes WAAY too long to inbound the ball most of the time.

    10) Animations that cause my defender to head the wrong direction (momentarily) when a fast break is initiated by the other team. Legacy issue.

    11) Online input lag. I guess this will always be a problem.

    12) Animations where the recipient of a pass tends to slide behind the defender while the pass is in progress. Resulting in a turnover. Very unrealistic.

    13) Alot of out of context overhead passes that have no zip.

    14) A drunken master animation that plays out too often when a guard loses the ball.

    15) Alot of the lower rated players move WAAAAY too slow. Otto Porter Jr and Gortat defy the laws of physics with how slow his steps are.
    Don't move anything like their real life counterparts (speedwise).

    16) I've seen dudes in the paint for 6 secs+ with no 3 sec call on them. The 3 second rule application tends to be tied to momentum. Again, unrealistic.

    Still the best 2K ever. Alot of this stuff, I would assume, is patchable.

          Good list. Most of the stuff is minor at best, but enough to be annoying at times. I'm with you one of the most annoying thing is how long it takes the ball to come inbounds in the delay time between timeouts and cut stri in the delay time between timeouts and cut screens

            I agree...Some of it is minor...But, it all adds up. Especially the gameplay ones.

              New Orleans seriously might be the toughest team I play. Now granted I play with the Celtics and they're not very good but the fact that Davis can come out and cover my guards very quickly makes it pretty complicated.

                  Does anyone else notice how dumb the human defense can get sometimes? As great as this game is costing me 6-8 points when games are pretty much tight battles for the most part is frustrating as hell because your defense just goes completely third grade on you and doesn't guard their man.

                    I agree. It's taking way too long getting into plays on the human side, so it just have to move the ball and play. Do you feel CPU gets better movement and spacing?

                      I feel like I've been b******* about this game all day but quite honestly this is one of the best experiences I've had with a sports game in a loooooong time. I'm just pumped that it can be even that much closer to greatness with tweaks...

                          Well I got the chance to play it again tonight and I really do have to say, the pick and roll is seriously a thing of beauty. I love the way the CPU defense adjusts to it. Sometimes they will over play the screen, other times they will hedge it, and then they will also ICE it. If I don't react to it well, they eat my lunch.

                          The crowd thing is still bothering me, though. There were times (at home, with the Rockets) when I ran my plays to perfection and ended up with a monster throw down from Dwight Howard and the crowd didn't react at all. They were like that all game. I mean on the outside looking in it doesn't seem like a big deal, but when I'm in the middle of a battle the crowd can get me even more pumped up. They don't do it though.

                            I have played like 16 or 17 games so far and the only thing I see that really needs to be fixed in a patch so far is team don't play any zone Defense. I have even bump up the coaching slider for teams to see if they would play zone D some and I have yet to see neither the AI or myself with plays set to auto ever go to a zone.


                            Other than that issue, Im just loving how the gameplay is, I do wish teir were more non shooting fouls and charging calls made in the game as even with them bump to 100 you really don't see enough of them, which has been a issue in every NBA2k game made I think and I have played either NBA2k since it came out except for the 09 version as I was still into CH2k8 and NBA2k8.


                            Other than what I mentioned this game is near flawless with gameplay, and I only hope that once I get into My League and MY GM that everything works like it suppose too, and sim team stats and players stats are spot on, if it is then this game will be not just the best basketball game ever made, but the greatest sports game ever made. Which is saying a lot from me considering how high I put MLBTS, but this NBA2k definitely has a chance to beat out MLBTS by a good margin even.

                              It's probably my imagination, but I feel they already tuned offensive rebounding. I don't think it's me getting better, both teams actually get in position and jump for offensive boards and get a normal amount now.
