NBA 2K16 Is the King, Has Only Gotten Better

[RaychelSnr]

NBA 2K16 is one of the best sports video games to have come out in the last decade.

It is not easy to hand out claims of greatness when a game has only been out a few months. College Hoops 2K8 wasn't given legendary status until people were still playing it years after its release. NBA 2K16 won't have the "benefit" of being the last game in the series, so there's no real reason to keep playing it long after its release, but it's sure to be the title that all future sports games can be measured by.

Agreed NBA 2K16 is the best sports game since NFL 2K5 and some of the MLB series games.

Agreed. The game is not without its flaws. But it is a gem. I think that's what so maddening at times. It is sooo close to perfection for me that every little thing that's "off" stands out. There aren't many in my book. That's a tremendous compliment to the team. Whenever I get me some gaming time 2K is first on the docket. Great job, fellas!!

Exactly what I was going to say: NFL 2k5 is probably my favorite sports game ever, and a couple of the MLB The Show games were really, really excellent. Let's see what MLB 16 can do, but for now NBA 2k16 is indeed the King.

You hit the nail on the head. The game is so good it makes the flaws stand out even more. Things like players shooting through the backboard, passing & dribbling through players bodies, CPU ball handlers not protecting the ball when dribbling in the proximity of a defender, hands morphing through balls on steal attempts, getting stuck in animations, etc... all stick out like a sore thumb. That said, 2K16 is the deepest sports game ever made. If they can clean up their legacy flaws next year then look out!

2K16 is like a beautiful chick with big boobs, great personality and smart too, not to mention an *** so fat it'll make you wanna slap your own mother to get a taste.

Everything about this chick is perfect except she has chronic bad breath. I mean her breath is so bad it would make a kitten commit suicide. Sure you can give her some breath mints but the smell will be right back in a few hours.

That's how I feel when I play 2K16. Everything is great but in this case 2K16s bad breath is the bad ai defense. I mean the transitional D, the help defense, the lack of awareness when getting back on D. Those are really my only issues with an otherwise perfect game.

NBA 2K16 Is the King, Has Only Gotten Better

After a rough breakup with 2K15 last year, I have to say they really did a great job with 2K16. I have had a lot of fun playing it all year and have little doubt I will continue to enjoy it. It's the most fun I've had on and offline in a long while.

A YT'er brought up a good point yesterday. I think sometimes it's easy to get caught up talking about flaws and what's wrong with the game...you could probably go into replay and find things wrong every couple possessions...but I refuse to...just going to continue to enjoy the game and give feedback where's it's due...

Good job this year fellas...

2K16 gameplay was horrible. Player & ball morphing through each other every play got annoying as hell. It was so bad in the beginning I really doubt that got patched. I deleted my game after 2 weeks of play.

Hit the nail on the head with that last point.

Totally agree. I fully expect these guys to address as many of these issues as possible. At this point though I think a full on physics engine is the only thing left for them to do that will address those warping/clipping anomalies we see.

NBA 2K16, the best video game ever in my opinion.

[jaynral]

I think NBA 2k16 has truly earned this king of the hill!!!...it is a great game and yes it has some flaws but every game does....It the closest to sim you are going to get and patches were sent out faster then I have ever seen on a sports games. Its a TRUE next gen game and I really appreciate the work the devs put into this game. With or without competition, I try to put out the best game possible..Congrats 2k....I feel like I got my $60.00 worth!!!

You've missed out then.

There are flaws, but it's a game. I play it everyday and thoroughly enjoy as someone who wants it playing like real basketball.
