NBA 2K16 Gameplay Video: Los Angeles Clippers at Houston Rockets

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Video: Los Angeles Clippers at Houston Rockets

What I didn't like:
1.) Transitional defense
Check fastbreaks from LAC starting from 0:29 and 0:51. In the first fastbreak Terry is "helping" (hedging) Ariza defending Paul (even when Paul is properly defended by Ariza), giving up a space for Blake Griffin's alley-up.

The second fastbreak is showing similar behavior. Why in the world should Howard "hedge" Paul, who is going left and away from the paint only to give room for a neat Paul assist to Pierce?

2.) Keep players in court - Out of bounds wall.
Harden at 0:45 does a left hesitation which should result in out of bounds call. But he is clipped and he stays in the court.

3.) Defense falling when contact from driving player is made
Check 0:47. Blake Griffin falls on the floor when in fact it should be offensive or defensive faul. Also check video between Chicago and Memphis, when Buttler sends Conley to the floor.

4.) Traveling
Beverly at 2:44

5.) Returning to the defense at 3:52. Check Monteiunas and his walking back to the defense. Only when Paul get to the same height on the court only then he started to sprint back to the defense.

Otherwise... good..

I think criticism of some of technical aspects of the game is warranted. But the mistakes that some of the players make on the court in the game are exactly the type of mistakes that players make in real life. We should only be expecting great decision making a high percentage of the time from the best of teams.

Lol at that opening screen attempt. Blocked dunk from behind within the first :30 seconds AFTER Harden methodically beats his man to the rim The slowing down to pass on fast breaks. The canned close out animations that don't allow you to actually run at the shooter. (Seen at :05)

Speed/agility and acceleration is so poorly represented in this game. It's maddening to see how many things they get right but the fundamental movement of the players is still an issue. There is no reason that Harden shouldn't make that dunk on the second play of the video. Literally no reason.

Yeah that dunk animation is pretty bad. Way too slow especially in a half court setting.

I also agree with the lack of explosiveness too.

Still seeing some issues I thought would be cleaned up this year. Not as hyped as I was before but still can't wait to get my hands on it. Hopefully some slider tweakings can help because I absolutely can't play the other game as is.

I can only see mild improvements from these vids. The game still looks a lot like 15 to me. Can't say that I'm blown away but it is what it is. Haven't heard much about the fluidity of online yet but if it resembles the overall gameplay improvement represented hear, I won't hold my breath.

Really? We must have been watching different videos then because this looks nothing like 15 to me.

Game looks great. You can tell that this Greg Anthony's first go around because he just sounds so dry and kinda outta place. Almost robotic sounding.

I agree. Though, I believe many may argue that's the essence of Greg Anthony.

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Video: Los Angeles Clippers at Houston Rockets

I actually think Greg Anthony sounds good....that just how he talks....he's simply not as inviting as Steve Kerr on the mic...

Agree on the dunk selection by Harden, shouldn't even be in his package to be honest.....disagree on the speed....especially seeing Curry's acceleration on the other vid...though it could be better

Good

-AI looks improved
-Crowd looks/sounds good
-Player movement looks very good
-Net looks good

Bad
-As many noted, the overhead passes.. way too many..
-Dwight Howard would've blocked Paul.. don' like that.
-Looks like the animations of saving someone from stepping out of bounds is still in it.. hopefully this doesn't happy when im trying to dribble near half court and get called for a backcourt violation

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Video: Los Angeles Clippers at Houston Rockets

Looks great so far. Greg Anthony fits into the commentary better than I expected, which is a good sign. Body scans look great in motion as well.

It's more the dunk animation that is the problem. He shouldn't be putting the ball behind his head in that situation. Had he gone straight up with the ball above or in front of his head he probably would have finished but going up the way he did gave the defender, who was beat the ability to reach for the block.

Maybe that's something they can improve in dunk logic.

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Video: Los Angeles Clippers at Houston Rockets

I should be writing these under evey video released here:

Super Positives:

- Gameplay has gotten TIGHT all over!
- You can see how Smooth will the CONTROLS be!
- You can't notice who is USER who is CPU, AI has gotten way better.
- True Physicality, Speed and Footplanting all the time

* All in all as Mike Wang suggested i can clearly see this game will play just as good as it looks like a movie.

Damn we still have 10 more days! I feel as excited as a 10 day contracted player.

PS: I haven't written this to other same posts of mine is that the rim is definitely bigger now and rim/ball interaction has gotten absolutely great.

100% agree. Players make mistakes in the NBA. Why shouldn't they also make them here?
