NBA 2K16: Some Ideas On How to Improve the Series

Re: NBA 2K16: Some Ideas On How to Improve the Series

2k15 runs circles around 2k11, in regards to playbooks, AI, spacing etc....

For a offline gamer like myself, that game (2k11) is so far in my rear view..... i can't even reference it anymore. Especially after playing 2k15 pretty much all year.

As Czar said, NBA2K still needs alot of improvements, but it's still the best i've played to date in the gameplay, playbook, and AI department's.

I rarely post anymore but, I really appreciate the advancements the gameplay team has made in these areas.

Thanks for posting that dribble handoff video Czar. I've struggled all year trying to get those handoffs to transition smoothly, and i never even saw this tutorial video earlier this year.

Moving forward i would like to see more Horns sets/formations and improved handoffs actions as well, for both the user and the AI.

Also, various team specific defensive schemes would be pretty cool. ie; pick and roll coverages, corner traps/pressures etc.

it does, but the homies need to upgrade some of their animations and make it look like a human performed them. why do mocap sessions, add a whole bunch
off cool animations if they don't resemble or play out what we see and know it to look like in reality?like i always say here. a game needs to play and feel just as good as it looks. oh glorious day when the gameplay matches the graphics.

Re: NBA 2K16: Some Ideas On How to Improve the Series

got into 2k15 real late so maybe i haven't played enough but can you split the double teams in 2k15? if not that's got to be in 2k16

Yeah, I don't think you can. I remember being able to do them by pressing "Y" on a previous version and I believe it was balanced pretty well.

NBA 2K16: Some Ideas On How to Improve the Series

I've been thinking of something really interesting to me just solely revolving around My Career. I don't have a One yet but plan on getting it next month. I have watched videos on YouTube all the time whether it be YMDGento, Chris Smoove, etc.
I really wish down the road we could get a "Shot/Slam Scan!"
It seems absurd to me only because there's always those people who are going to either do like a backwards shot or a around the back or whatever. Those "shots" would somehow have to go in, in order for that shot to work. Idk that was a confusing sentence. What I'm trying to say is down the road I hope we get some sort of way to implement our own shot into the game. For those who don't even play basketball but play the game might not use the feature but it would be kinda cool. I also (Being a 15 year old tall scrawny kid) love slamming on my adjustable hoop. I'm one of those DeAndre Jordan time slammers who **** back and slam It with authority and power. I would love to be able to implement your own style of dunks into the game!

I also would love to see custom gear.
Probably never going to happen only because of copyrighting or inappropriate attire or whatever but I would say 2K offer you only so much when it comes to arm sleeves, wristbands, etc.

Custom Mouth Guards! Although someone would probably put Male Genitalia so nvm.
But I think the sky's the limit at this point for 2K and I really like where it's going. NBA Live, to me, is garbage, I really just hope we have a good game in 2K16 and hope to enjoy it with all of you

This would be AMAZING!!!!


OK, first off, add more hair and beard styles.


Then, allow us to edit any of those on any NBA player that's in the game. So if a guy grows a beard during the season....or shaves his head...no biggie. We can just edit ourselves.

I hope they allow us to edit some of the classic players as well.

I also would like to add Your own voice to the game so you can have your own voice on dialogues

Sadly probably won't happen, would probably give "too much" freedom. And I think 2K would then only have so much to do on the roster/cf side of things, but idk

Please make it easier to edit contracts. Having to scroll up or down number by number is painfully slow and inefficient. We should just be able enter the contract via number keypad. Much faster and easier that way.

Oh and bring back three team trades in MyLeague. I like to have accurate rosters but I don't like to control all 30 teams. Having the three team trade feature like in 2K14 and before makes it possible to make the real life trades in MyLeague.

Would definitely be convenient/efficient for roster makers!

NBA 2K16: Some Ideas On How to Improve the Series

I started re-evaluating my post and really have considered some new things as well.


The Draft!

I really wish the draft was a place where the fans are going crazy and the vibe is just contagious. There would be some discussing between analysts or whatever about the players and they'd show some highlights from their career and give some basic info ex. Strengths and Weaknesses.
You'd then proceed to where Adam Silver walks out and the crowd is as eager as ever. Awaiting that name to be announced. The excitement would build up and The name would be read. The fans would go crazy. The player would walk up on stage and receive their hat and take a picture with Adam Silver. We'd then, throughout the draft, see interviews with the bigger named players and ask them about what's ahead and all that. Give draft night a little more pep.

Please leave thoughts and comments on what you think!!

2K needs to keep developing more weekly challenges, instead of stopping doing them as they did this year. More challenges would add more longevity to the My Team mode for those that do not like to play RTTP.

Also I agree with the decrease in cost for packs suggestions, right now buying expensive packs is just frustrating and not worth it IMO.

Re: NBA 2K16: Some Ideas On How to Improve the Series

What can be improved, likely not in NBA2k16, but future iterations would be implementing that one massive "post" that got (I think) well over 100 thumbs up/likes and counting. I've been trying to find it, but can't.

The opening post/thread had massive graphics, lots of pictures, I think it even included youtube videos, statistical breakdowns I think. But it was definitely one of those post/thread that you take notice. Massive information that would tremendously improve the game by a large margin.

Anyone remember that one "post" and can actually find it?
