Stop...NBA 2K16 is the Real Deal

[Japspec]

Only gripe I have is that they discontinued live injuries in online ranked games back to nba 2k7 or 8 I remember playing ranked games online and players that were overused would get injured lol those were they days. One game a dude was spamming lebron and he got an ankle injury and had to sit out the game and the dude quit the game lmao.

NBA 2K16 gives you a hoops dream fantasy with the story driven My Player mode, stimulates the basketball intellect with the My GM Mode, and satisfies our competitive fire while testing our basketball knowledge in the revamped H2H online modes. What I'm saying is that...it's time for players to man up and LEARN how to play the game, and STOP looking for ways to dumb down the game to cater to your laziness. From the moment you grab the controller and play your first game in whatever mode, you IMMEDIATELY know that NBA 2K16 WASN'T meant to be another casual friendly, button-masher game. You IMMEDIATELY know that NBA 2K16 WASN'T meant to be played in a manner where you're creating ESPN highlights on every possession. This is a GROWN MAN's game. This community has people who are willing to help you step your game up and make you a better player in whatever mode. Use them! I have seen some great advice in numerous threads where I went straight home, fired up the practice mode, and worked to implement the new advice. The tips work, and I've been grateful for each one that I was able to use successful. I understand that the game has glitches and bugs, because no human made product is ever perfect. However, let's make sure that we providing feedback on actual glitches (sweating, commentary, weird camera angles, etc), instead of trying to sneak in "complaints" in hopes that the game is patched to be easier for people who don't believe in defense. I'm going to end this with a quote that a poster keeps saying over and over, and it's REAL TALK to me... You can overcome a challenge, but you can never overcome the boredom of beating an easy CPU.

Nba 2k16 is legit from online point of view and better than 2k11!

I've already posted this in impressions thread, but I have to post it here also, because I have the same feeling as ksuttonjr76.

Too many players complains about sliding. Yes, there are some sliding, but if there are not a clear advantages (in offense or defense) from sliding, then sliding is tolerable.

Too many players complains about shooting percentage being too low. Guess what, learn basketball basics and try to get good looks from plays. If you shoot bad shoots you will miss them

Too many players complains about though CPU defense... Again use team offense, try to exploit everything the CPU gives you. Do you see crazy crossovers and "ohhh-aahh" drive-in every possessions in real NBA? Same applies to the 2k16.

Too many players complains about cherry picking (online) which is pain in the a.., but you can counter this tactic with balanced and patient attack, which prevents up-tempo game. You should try to impose your game pace which suits you and not to outrun opponent in fast breaks.

In last days after release I've played 30+ online games and I must say that the more I play the easier is to me to beat a cheesar, who relies on full court press (with funny attempts to draw an offensive foul), double team, reaching and cherry picking. Right now I am in 7+ game winning streak from which 6 them comes from cheesar rage quit.

2K please don't mess up the game with unnecessary patches.

Quality like-whoring OP.

You said everything I've been wanting to say man. Grade A Post!!

Have faith in your product 2K.

[drewwright]

I feel like most people in here are just fanboys and still going off hype. This is a great game but it's not perfect, and nobody really expected a game to be. But if people are having issues with it and need help, that's not trying to make the game "cheesier", there are still some clear issues that need addressing.
