    Before YOU Complain About Anything 2K Related; Please Read

    I see a lot of people complaining about what 2K should and shouldn't be working on and giving to us at this point. It is somewhat disrespectful and maybe we should stop and think before we complain about a certain feature NOT being in the game.

    Have you ever stopped and thought to yourself, "Maybe it is something prohibiting them from allowing these features to be in the game" instead of your, "Ahhhh they don't care" approach?

    Considering this is only year THREE of them being on a new system. You always throw out the first game on a new system because it is generally never better than the last game of OLD gen (2K14) since it is usually just a port over. So essentially 2K16 is the SECOND NEW NBA2K game on Next Gen.

    They need time to figure the new system out man, that isn't something that happens overnight.

    We tend to get tunnel vision as consumers. We only look at, "Well why can't they do this and that." Guess what, maybe they can't.

    The same can be said about Online. 2K's online has ALWAYS been broken. I just chalk it up to they can't do better. I don't even waste my breathe complaining because I know ONLINE will ALWAYS be broke. Now, that isn't men excusing them but it is true. Online is always broke.

    So I am simply saying, before you make statements about the work ethic of those dudes that put in MANY hours FOR US to have a great basketball simulation, stop and think about the system limitations and/or discoveries that haven't been exposed to/figured out by the devs.

    It isn't as simple as, "They clearly don't care."

    Definitely disagree with your online point. Playing at the Jordan Rec center for example the game lags really bad on the 2k camera . Why shouldn't we bring that up to be fixed for 2k16?

    Just saying online is broken and chalking up the deuces isn't right . Heck those guys complaining about my league made it what it is today

      OP sounded so positive until he says online will always be broke. Just be more optimistic, one day they'll get those servers right 👍

        Honestly, 2K has been told for over 10 years that their online is broken. I am sure they are aware of it. I was just saying that EYE wouldn't waste MY breathe on complaining about that when that is clearly a glaring issue and others will let them know how they feel about it.

        I am not telling anyone else not to complain about THAT

            I hope that is not true! Man we pay 60$ for that game so they should give also money to the servers. As i said before i hope that is not a money problem because that would be not nice from 2k

                Some complaints have been there for ages so while you can agree or disagree on a lot of things, mainly the passing and CPU AI should've been solid by now.

                  NBA 2K15 was not a quality game whatsoever. Tbh it's one of the worst 2K's ever made IMO. I do not understand why 2k takes certain features out every year, we should get more, not less.
                  Favorite NBA Teams:
                  Miami Heat
                  New Orleans Pelicans
                  New York Knicks

                    I understand your overall point DC....

                    but there is a lot of valid feedback- even if a lot of times given in overdramatic fashion....2k can't listen if we don't talk.

                    Only issue I have is when people call things "easy" fixes....unless your drawing up the blueprint and submitting it to the tech team the term shouldn't be used.

                    I always assume a lot of guys on the board are younger with the way they react to certain things...over 10 years in corporate world taught me quick that **** doesn't work out for various reasons sometimes and there's nothing you can do about it no matter how the consumer feels....or how easy it seems to them...

                        This is wrong. And I don't mean "I disagree"... it's flat out incorrect. 2k14 WAS built from the ground up for next generation consoles. It was not a port from last gen.
                        And it (arguably) was not as good as the last gen version for that exact reason.... being built from the ground up for new consoles vs building on top of an established game like the last gen version was. Devs spent their time building the bones for the series for subsequent years, thus the lack of game modes. So yes, I agree that you can almost "throw out" 2k14 but not because of the reason you've provided... but because it is a barebones game, which has nothing to do with porting the game from the last gen version and has everything to do with being built from the ground up.
                        So by claiming that 2k16 is essentially the second nba 2k game on new consoles suggests that 2k15 was the version built from ground up and was not developed on top of the 2k14 platform... which is also incorrect.

                          Nah bro.

                          They know it's broken but they still need to fix online and we should voice our concerns if we have them.

                          In the same breath though we should temper expectations and not make it personal. MOST of the people here do not work in the industry so they do not know how difficult things are; to them, it's *easy* fixes.

                          IMO It's the job of the ones here who do work in the industry to educate, so that the members who tend to throw out simplistic statements about the ease of implementing or fixing certain legacy issues is tempered. Maybe then people wouldn't take certain comments so personally and we can actually have constructive conversation around issues.

                          To take it a step further, opening up those conversations allows people to perhaps, lean towards certain passions in order to help or progress their own personal careers or goals. I know I personally went to school for engineering after having a better understanding of how certain systems work and how my knowledge could impact said system.

                          I don't think anyone should ever just "chalk it up to the game" we should always communicate, thats the way we get out of the "us vs them" mentality and how things gets done CONSTRUCTIVELY.

                              Well last year they thought they got the servers right. Now that they have another full year to work on it they may surprise some people this year.

                              Their confidence in their game also let them release it on the 25th (preorder). So I trust they are doing good things with this year's release.
