NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

[Kanobi]

Man how I wish they still made NFL-licensed football games! Just watching that video and seeing their sincerity and enthusiasm about the upgrades only makes my mind go crazy wondering what might've been with an NFL2k16 that was uninterrupted in its previous years of development to this point. Then again, their departure from football allowed them to consolidate their resources into NBA2k...so perhaps all was for the best from a basketball standpoint. Looking forward to buying this game!

I think Giannis must be a chameleon, because I was checking Google Images to compare the video to him in real life, and his skin color changes dramatically depending on what kind of light he's photographed in:

I don't think anyone could say with 100% certainty what his true skin color is unless they know him in person and hang out with him an absolute ton.

Decided to only gather the gameplay clips if anyone is interested. No audio at the moment.

I don't know him personally, but I've been in his presence and talked to him many times. Even beat him in a game of HORSE! (My friend works for the Bucks so I hang out at practices here and there).

Let most guys tell it they've went down hill ever since they consolidated and only put in cheese now.

On another note, I still think if they invested in it (they won't because of the financials but I wish someone would), a completely customizable/generic football game could do well. They already have the creation system that they share between NBA and WWE, just carry that over for unis, players, stadiums and BOOM! Add in a full franchise mode, online H2H & online franchise, and a MyCareer similar to NBA and I think they'd have a legit seller. They also wouldn't have to release yearly if they didn't want to and have longer dev cycles like UFC.

The thing I appreciate about 2K as a company on down to Rob, Mike and the crew is that for the MILLIONS of dollars this game generates every year they put A LOT of money back into the game. With that financial investment the development team tries every year to make the greatest sports game ever made...that's their goal every year and you get a wonderful sense of it during their interviews and blogs. The love and passion they put in the game...to me it's like R* and GTA. The game makes a truck load of money...money that is invested back into the development of the next game as the team tries to make the next GTA even more monumental than the one before. These are development teams that have a combination of talent and passion for the projects they work on...and us gamers get to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
