Re: NBA 2K16 PC Impressions thread

No keyboard control. This is a problem for me as I have a custom controller made for disabled people.

So very disappointed that I can't even express it. No issues from 2k10 - 2k14 with this but now, in 2015 they have a problem supporting PC use?

Nothing but disappointment here.

Commentary came back with a first-quarter buzzer beater. Yeah, I'm pretty sure something's bugged here...

Re: NBA 2K16 PC Impressions thread

I'm also getting frame rate drops that are making game slightly jerky. I have a 4 gig 970 FTW edition and a 4th Gen i7... no way in hell I should be be struggling to run this game on high. It's getting as low as like 40-45 fps, but mostly around 50-55. Last year NEVER dipped below 60.

I have the same gpu and i'm also having fps drops. But worse than that... I HAVE NO SOUND!!!!!!! Sound was fine then it just stopped. During the pregame show shaq kenny and ernie aren't moving their lips but they are making hand gestures. What the hell is going on????

Re: NBA 2K16 PC Impressions thread

So I pre-loaded NBA 2K16 , went into the game nice, and then I realised 2 major turn-offs aka game breaking stuffs.

1) No Keyboard Support ==> Unable to remap keyboard controls at all. As if that wasn't bad enough, even the default controls are not listed. This despite NOT listing keyboard support as unavailable.

2) Pre-order bonus are not given at all despite pre-ordering.

Don't know about you, but I feel scammed by 2K

Seriously, FML

Problem PC Version: The Symbolpass is not working for me. By pressing the R1 button, there is at maximum one symbol (for example triangle) .
Besides this Symbol is outside of the court instead of being on top of the players head.

Does anyone has the same problem and maybe a solution / workaround?

Re: NBA 2K16 PC Impressions thread

There's not even an entry for NBA 2K16 in Nvidia Inspector, do they even ****ing playtest this thing before releasing it out in the wild?

The symbols are in the crowd for me. Also some of the intro sizzle video team logos are too big for the screen.

The game in 1080p 16:9 doesn't fit properly (unlike 15 and 3k res) and I am having the same GTX 970 stutters. Maybe it needs to get the Geforce experience update but I dont know.

I'm not even getting drops, FPS counter is in the 80's during highlights and it still all herky/jerky. It's on their end and once again they ****ed up. Tried with G-Sync, without, V-Sync, Dynamic, on and off, ULMB, locking framerate to 60, 120 or 144, turning down the res. Nothing works.

Oh and another thing, check the replays after the fouls, it will never show the foul commited, just the reaction of the player.

I'm going to mess with it a bit more but I think it's time to test Steam refund system.

Re: NBA 2K16 PC Impressions thread

So far only played one quarter on Superstar/Sim settings...

Impressions:
- Player speed difference between C/PF and others are noticeable. I've got a situation when Leonard lost a ball in offense (Top Left Key) and LaMarcus was the last guy (he was on Top Key) and Lebron had no problem outrunning him on fast break. I was controlling Spurs team, CPU was HEAT.
- There is no pump fake with shot button. If you just tap shot button, player will shoot (very early) and he will not do a pump-fake.
- I've had problems with manual play calling. When I hit left bumper (i reconfigure controls) and then selected a player, I noticed that you select with right stick. I try to move stick up, down, left or right, but it seems that I cannot select a play.
- Post game is very good. I was able to abuse Love with Aldridge all day long.
- Player movement seems a little slow (not used to yet). Parker feels a little slow, Duncan ultra slow.
- Passing seems improved, but I already had a situation when i want to pass to left top player, but ball went to corner guy.
- Been able to finish first quarter with buzzer beater - Mills

After one quarter game crashed...

I restarted my computer and the sound came back. All except the commentary. Stuttering still there. I'm turning this **** off and going to bed. Maybe tomorrow 2k will put some info out or a workaround.

Re: NBA 2K16 PC Impressions thread

Stuttering, a few crashes.

GeForce 650Ti

Been trying to crank some things down so it doesn't feel so slow.

Struggling with control changes.

Still in College, went to Texas.


Love the family reaction to Texas. Worth picking just to see that.

Wish I could try picking each of the colleges just to see the family reaction.

Re: NBA 2K16 PC Impressions thread

Still love gameplay/improved defense. Cannot stand the corny *** story. Also do NOT like the fact that these guys keep stripping away things like voice options, muscle definition etc. Is it really that hard? Put body types, definition and more than just wannabe thug black guy voices plz. I keep making a white guy that sounds corny. My twin sister is that dark? I mean Comon man. For every 3 features they add, they remove 3 others we liked.

Re: NBA 2K16 PC Impressions thread

So what's the deal with the pre-order 30K VC? the other key I got with my 2K16 key is the same as the 2K15 VC key I got as soon as I put the pre-order in.

The disappearing commentary was also an issue in 2K15.

Re: NBA 2K16 PC Impressions thread

Defensive rebounding slider got to be lowered on both sides. Only had 3 offensive rebounds and the CPU only had 2 in a 10 minute quarter game. I do love the fact you get to choose what hand you want to finish with. Lord help you though if you got a player who is only good with doing a layup up with one hand though.

Some huge positives:

1. Presentation. Pre-game, halftime show and post game show is just insanely awesome. It looks like you watching a real game on tv during the halftime and post game show.

2. Blocks are can be vicious or subtle. Even better, you get to choose which type of block you want to do.

3. Height and weight matter big time.

4. Dunks aren't automatic. They can be and will be blocked from behind or from the side.

5. AI is insanely good and the CPU players play just like their real life counterpart.

6. CPU is quick to pick up your scoring habit and will quickly start to shut it down. Ball hogging won't serve you well.

7. I like the new alley oop and passing controls.

8. Cut scenes with star players talking about their career in their team t-shirt is a nice touch.

9. The difference between a fast player, agile player, slow player and weak player is very noticeable.

Negative

1. Very few offensive rebounds. Yeah for sliders !!!

I'm really enjoying this game. No crashes or stuttering or audio problems for me with my 980 and I7 5820K on Windows 10.
