NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

Re: NBA 2k16 - The Little Things

12-13 Heat vs Warriors. Baseline drive by Wade. Green tried to help then I pass it to Bosh. Green knew it's too late for him so he pushed Bosh midair and called for flagrant foul. Not sure if flagrant foul was in last year.

They were in 2k15 along with ejections.

Played a game @ Sacramento, and opened up with a live video shot of the capitol building lit up at night. Very cool.

Playing as the Raptors...home game v the Lakers.

Got the full starting five intros...Lakers got booed as they each came out, but then really loud boos for Kobe.

Place then went quiet...Raptors starting five intros were insane.

Great stuff.

Love how each game has a different start.

I like how you can draw fouls off of pump fakes this year. Although I think it's animated and you can't manually do it

Adding to that, I love how the pump fake foul triggers an automatic jump shot attempt for the user, just like how we see all the time on tv with guys forcing up shots when fouled. Probably the only "automatic animation" I'd welcome

Re: NBA 2k16 - The Little Things

After the first quarter the announcers were talking about Pau and Marc Gasol being starters in the all star game last year then they cut to a pre game interview of Pau talking about Marc. I had no idea that was added this year and caught me completely by surprise.

That's one of the best parts about these little things, 2K didn't exactly make reveals or announcements about some of them. It's cool playing the game and seeing things pop up that you had no idea were added. I love discovering these little things.

One of the first things I noticed in how much the crowds get into games. Especially close games.

Re: NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

This could have been in the game before but it was still cool to see. I was playing a game yesterday 08 celtics vs 13 Heat. I was bringing the ball up, i believe with rondo could have been cassel, with Chalmers pressuring full court. I decided to call for a screen and KG came and set a screen as I began to push the ball up and the defender ran into the screen getting laid out in the process. This allowed for an easy drive to the lane where I passed the ball back to a trailing KG for a dunk. I don't think I've played a basketball game where a smaller defender would get crushed while running into a screen from a bigger player. It was so effective I was afraid I'd be called for an offensive foul.

I haven't seen that yet! That sounds awesome!

Re: NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

For me its the defence....Had a play where I got beat off the dribble with Tristan Thompson, I was able to time it properly and swat it off the backboard and the ball ended up near the 3pt line. The sound the ball made was awesome!!!

The blocks are fantastic in this game and I love that the sounds on blocks vary. Had a nice block with KG on Chalmers as he drove baseline and not only was the block emphatic but the sound matched perfectly. Have also seen some nice chase down type blocks due to the defender being taller/longer.

Somewhat related is of free the ball is this year. Blocks, steals/strips, losing the ball I'm traffic all feels better. In past games it felt let you would have to time things right so that the appropriate 2 man animation could play out but this year it feels more like an interaction with the player and the ball oppose to player and player.

Totally agree!!

Re: NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

Did anyone mention that you can do step backs/hop steps and keep your dribble? I was doing this while practicing with 06 Wade and at first I thought it was a glitch in which he double dribbled but when I looked at the replay you can tell that his off ball hand comes close to give the illusion that he is going to shoot but the hand never touches the ball. In order to shoot after a step back you actually need to initiate the shot yourself with the shot stick or shot button. And either way it looks, shot or no shot, it looks fluid. Much better than last year where if you attempted a step back the player would typically automatically go up for a shot.

Not only did they add players chewing gum but they have different players chewing differently! Kobe chews his gum different than Ray Allen, just crazy!

Re: NBA 2k16 - The Little Things

Had a close game between Cavs and Celtics both from 07 and called an iso 2 minutes before the end for Lebron against Pierce.

Everyone cleared out and Pierce smashed both hands to the ground (sort of like Tim Duncan in the finals) to say "Come on!!" to Lebron. Amazing!

Don't say stuff like this. I don't have the game yet. Please stop.

Re: NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

Someone mentioned turning player chatter up to hear the refs but one thing I noticed and not sure if it was in last year or not. But players will call out saying watch "Nash" or watch "Lebron" and it seems like it's a ton of names they call out and not limited to just one player or the star players only from each team. Really awesome detail.
