NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Re: NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

Another nice addition is the new animations for jumping passing lanes/new ball physics on deflections. It used to be that when you deflected a ball into the backcourt, it was almost impossible to scoop it up before it rolls out of bounds. The animations to basically sprint into a passing lane and slap it down the court and then scoop it up for an easy dunk is so damn nice. I wreaked havoc in high school and college doing that.

During a stoppage after a whistle, one of my players was tying his shoe.

Never seen that one before.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but I love how sometimes the sounds seem to get louder as players get closer to the hoop like on TV because of the mics on the backboard. At least it seems that way.

Re: NBA 2k16 - The Little Things

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.

Yep! This is precisely why I play 12 min quarters and take my time, the only thing I button through is timeouts. I see new "little things" every single game.

Cant even button through timeouts anymore since they added audio of the coaches talking to the the players, damn I love this game.

Gum chewing is a nice little touch.

I LOVE the shot follows this year. Adds so much realism.

The smaller player models fit so much better. It feels right.

Re: NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

I just had a three by Mo Williams at the buzzer to close the 3rd Quarter. I took it from the right side of the floor, not far from the Lakers bench. He shot it and held his follow through; as soon as the shot went in, Williams turned his head and stared at the Lakers bench for 2s before going back to the Cavs bench. Crazy.

The Crowd reactions are a whole lot better this year, although i play with the timberwolves and they barley hold up any of the huge faces in the crowd, just 2 Rubio's barely. wish i had more

Re: NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

So I'm in a MyLeague with the St. Louis Stallions, formerly known as the Sacramento Kings, and we're taking on NBA MVP Kevin Durant and the OKC Thunder in the first round of the playoffs. I

In game 1 at home Durant was awarded the MVP trophy before the game started by Adam Silver. When he hoisted the trophy up the crowd started chanting MVP. It was so cool to see.

Another thing I've done with this MyLeague is take on the Owner/GM type. I haven't really played any games, but I end up watching a ton of them. To better immerse myself (I fully consider this a little thing as well), I turned off replays, after basket camera cuts, player names, set the sound to "In Stands", cranked the crowd volume up to 100, and then set my camera to Skybox with zoom at 10 and height at 1. It really looks like you're sitting up in the upper level at the stadium and it just feels so organic. It's honestly a treat just to watch the AI go at each other like that. I'd highly recommend it.

Re: NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

2 things that caught my attention.

1. This may have been in last year but I'm not sure. But the first game f my Myl=League as the Pelicans, they did the ring ceremony for the Warriors. It was cool.

2. I was playing as the Rockets against the Suns and I heard McHale yell timeout 2 times, and then the ref called timeout. I couldnt believe what i was hearing so I hit the replay. Mchale did in fact yell timeout to the ref and the ref called it. That was awesome

Re: NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

Playing with the Bulls Noah got a flagrant foul 2 and started to yell at someone, after a few seconds Rose and Mirotic tried to push him off the court, and Noah mad as hell trying to get back on court. Just felt like I was watching the real Noah doing these kind of things

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.

absolutely love this, it's what we call the "hands up/heads up" in pick up. It's a thing of beauty when you got a shot block happy big on a switch guarding a guard with handles

Re: NBA 2k16 - The Little Things

yooooooo......that crowd

Not authentic. Should've been this...

Re: NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

One thing that kinda bothers me is when you are wide open and get a good release. Its cool to see you hold your shot form but everyone doesn't do it every shot. It shouldn't happen as much as it does.

Re: NBA 2K16 - The Little Things

Close game, Wiz (me) vs. Phoenix (cpu) less than 2min left. I'm down 3. Brandon Knight, who's been killing me on pick n' rolls in the 4th qtr, attempts to dribble through a double team and loses the ball. I pass it ahead to a streaking John Wall for the dunk. The camera changes to the crowd, and I notice a guy shaking his head slowly "no", then lowering it like he's sad lol. Had to stop just to post this

Also liked early in the game I tried to answer a Phoenix made 3 with one of my own from Bradley Beal but missed, and Clark Kellogg immediately commented that I was overly anxious to answer the Phoenix three (and I was)
