NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog With Da_Czar

Hi Dr czar I am one of the sim fanatic as you call it. Speaking of sim, is there any set of sliders that is best suited to cpu vs cpu plays?

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog With Da_Czar

Two related questions:
(A) Is it possible to do a double screen back to back on one defender as seen in the video/gif below in case the defender was able to fight around the first screener? (Maybe not that close together, but the concept is what I'm wondering).
(B) Is it possible to have two separate teammates screen two separate defenders at the top (or inside) the three point line?

David Lee - 1st screener; Andrew Bogut - 2nd screener.

I'm asking because I remember Curry running past screeners from one side of the 3 point line to the other side of the 3 point line to get (probably) a 3 point shot off in the final seconds of the game. Can't remember the exact game, thus couldn't find footage. I just so happen to stumble on this one. It could have even been three screens back to back to back on multiple defenders along the three point line.

After you press the "pick" button, instead of pressing just 1 face button to select your screener, you can press two buttons at the same time. For example, to get a pick from the PF and C, you would (on ps4) press O, then Triangle + L2. Sometimes they set the screen on the same side, sometimes they set it on either side...no idea how to control that, or even if you can.

Czar, can you elaborate at all on what you did for classic teams play types and playbooks? This was always a pet peave of mine as guys like Karl Malone didn't even have pnr man as a play type and most teams only had 16-18 plays in their books. It sounds like ratings were redone with classics and current so that's great news. Just curious on classic books as I saw the 80's freelance I think you said went untouched or hasn't been updated yet?

Hey czar if you drop by, could you explain the mechanic when you get someone in the air and you shoot into him for the and one ? Is the shot timing based or rating based ? On the Pelicans OKC video Norris Cole does it but the shot meter doesn't activate so I'am wondering. Thanks man.

That is a better question for Beluba.

Van, Homie, your crazy and normally I love that but we have 42 classic teams vato. at 16 plays a piece that is 672 plays man. Other games don't have that many plays period and we actually scout the games and use as many authentic plays as possible.

Not including the fact that for the last 2 years we rewrote all of them to try and improve them. There is only so much a person can do in a year my man. No one is even close to the dedication we put in on the play side.

The playbooks...diferent team styles...each game being different...are essentially why I am buying 2K16. Nice work Da Czar.

Early pre-season NBA 2k16 prediction:

Van does the play books with some help from OS and gets playbooks edited for all 42 classic teams by thanksgiving.




Da_Czar.... no one that knows sports game questions the work you guys put in year in and year out to give us the best sports game on the market. You guys just give us the sun, moon, and the sky when it comes to sports gaming, it only natural to ask for a couple of stars while we are getting everything else. Appreciate the work you guys do.

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog with Da_Czar

Sounds awesome, cannot get more authentic than this!!

Hope we get some info on how the in game mechanism works with regards to teams going on runs. In prior games when you were up 10-15, you all of a sudden started to miss the easiest shots to get them back. Hope that is gone

This has made the game unplayable for me the last two years and I really hope it has been removed.

See, I've never had that problem. One of the last 2k15 games I played I got out to a early lead and never felt threatened. Portland got it to single digits when my bench came in but I put the starters back in and broke it back open.

Lol! When put like that I get it BUT how about adding some (12-14) plays from regular teams to get some variety? I might be crazy and I get your point but playing CPU classic teams killed immersion for me with the play types and plays in the past. Maybe it's not a priority and I get it. Why would it be. But to get more variety I think a simple fix is not needing real plays from those classic years but add let's say for the 87 lakers you add a mouse play for magic, a punch play for worthy and cap, a alley play for SG for coop a loop and b Scott.

My point is adding plays from regular teams like that with your 16-18 plays gives us more variety without you having to do more. Maybe I'm in the minority here.

But the real problem was play types for legends. When Karl Malone doesn't have pnr man in his play type im the crazy one? Lol

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog With Da_Czar

I get you work in different departments but honestly spending any time on "classic plays" seems like a waste.

Generic plays will do just fine.. When you have that many plays on that many teams,

Worrying about a classic team that will for the most part only be used in quick games, a big waste of time.

My defenders were sliding all over the court last year and we are worried about little things like this??

People ask waaaaay too much of devs and what happens is they focus on so many things that the game comes out with crazy flaws.

I hope Case you keep doing what you do. And I hope the other devs stop losing sleep at night because Kobe changed shoe laces, and I hope they focus more on giving us an online version of my league, working on gameplay, servers, etc. I know not every department can do every thing... But the main point is your right. You can only do so much, put your focus on the right places
