Nostalgia goggles. I still own 2k11, but I don't remember it being better than the later games in the series.

Right. People seem to think they know what it is for everyone lol. I remember the issues w/ the game like how bad the servers were for Crew Mode and the hacks you had to deal with. I remember it all vividly. Just none of these games surpassed it. It's not a coincidence a lot of people say 2K11 is the GOAT lol.

NBA 2K2, 2K7, 2K11...these are the golden standards that marked a big shift.
Obviously with a yearly release cycle each game will not be a big jump, and people will have specific ones they like for whatever reason.

But those three marked big moments for this franchise.

Maybe we're due with 2K17?

Yeah. I forgot that the patches made it what it became. I forgot how it played before the patches, but I know I was playing 3-4 online games almost every day. When they announced that they were keeping the servers up longer due to NBA 2K12 being so terrible, I bought a new copy, because I traded in my original copy to get 2K12.

Ok I will give you guys this. 2k11 did give us the ability to play ranked HOF games. That's what I missed

best game is college hoops 2k8 because it was actually fun to play offline. I think until they go deep like that... it would be really nice to have (since it's the same engine) college hoops stuff in the game. Even fake colleges, as long as it worked the same way as college hoops. I'd pay 60 more bucks for that DLC.

Most 2ks have had really flawed game play in terms of online play, at least a few things. I think the first mypark game where you could equip 5 badges was my favorite, tho. And you could still upgrade individually.

It's like nfl 2k5

I had the same thoughts initially for a couple of weeks or so but theres just a couple of major problems in 2k16 that i couldnt overlook

1) Transition offense/defense
2) AI logic in terms of defensive rotation - CPU/AI leaving the player with the ball to switch matchups etc...
3) CPU defensive awareness off MADE baskets - like why are my team mates scrambling and lost off MADE baskets?
4) Team mates RUNNING AWAY from open spots - e.g. instead of my pf rolling straight to the basket, he would run at this weird angle so that the defense could rotate and catch up etc...

Thats why overall, just talking about GAMEPLAY and responsiveness, and considering the time the game was made, 2K11 is still the best imo
