2K16 has some of the most unresponsive controls of any game I've played

[Rockie_Fresh88]

The only time I've seen that is when the guy I'm trying to box out has a much higher rebounding than me and/or height . That is why a lot of ppl recommend 7'3 centers with max wingspan/athlete/ rebounding with hustle points and rebounding crasher all gold .


Other than that it could've been lag maybe your button press didn't register quick enough . Idk lol

I traded this game in after just a few games. Just didnt feel like I was part of the action.

I've felt that way at times early on. I'm having a hard time reigning things in. I'm able to win and make good things happen, but it often feels like a crapshoot, pretty much like I'm out of control and frequently fighting the game, which is vastly different from my previous 2K experiences over the years.

With so many gamers here who love it, though, I'm assuming I'll come around. But we'll see. I dig just about every other non-gameplay aspect of 2K16 (classic teams, create-a-team, franchise, re-location, etc) so struggling with the controls and responsiveness has been a little bit of a bummer for me.

I love the game. It's incredible but I have to agree. The controls are frustrating unresponsive. I've had many a rage about input delay and that's OFFLINE for me.

Defense and trying to stay with your man is a nightmare. Offensive moves, dribble wise are all there for us, but the delay makes it incredibly tough to get past defenders.

And don;t get me started on passing......good lord.

In terms of player movement and perceived lag, have you tried increasing the game speed? That always makes dribbling and shooting seem more "responsive" to me, simply because it's quicker. Passes have a lot more zip on them too, so no more slow floating passes to wide open guys. If you're on default 50, try raising to 55. May take a while to get used to, but it should feel more "responsive".

Can't help with the directional passing sorry. If there's multiple players in the same vicinity, I guess it's hard for the game to differentiate who you're aiming for. I almost always icon pass for this very reason. Have you tried the other settings, such as openness and...? I've blanked on the other option.

Controls def need to be fixed. A lag on a pass is the difference between an assist and a turnover. Multiple times a game i'll set up a play and go to pass the ball and it will take a second to register, by then the player I was passing too will have ran the ball into the path of the defender.

I also feel like im fighting the game as was mentioned above.

Never fiddled with the controls before but I wonder if 2k already has the option to have what I call "Directional position passing" and if not have they ever considered it? How I would describe it is that each position of the left stick(Ex: up-PF, down-C, left-SG, right-SF) would correspond to a positional player on the court in conjunction with a pass button. Now if you are attempting to pass to the PG with one of those players you would simply push the stick in the direction of that player (ex: Pull down as C to pass to PG, Push to left as SG to pass to PG, etc)

There is a brief amount of time, like maybe a week after the new game comes out where things feel "off." After a week or so I usually get the feel down and then I play every night until the new one comes out again.
