Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

I love the gameplay and new modes, but the Mycareer was way overhyped. I was bored by the story.

Watching poorly animated people talk in a room for extended periods of time isn't exactly spellbinding. You couldn't choose one aspect of your career's direction except for choosing a high-school and college.

Its also very disappointing that the MyPlayer and CAP models are the same as last year. The whole area above the shoulders doesn't look natural or real at all on the mgplayers. NBA Live did a great job of making that stuff look real. The lack of choosing what body type you want is also very disappointing.

The advertisement of the game stresses "Be Yourself" yet everything and all of the MyPlayers feel very homogenized once again...

I can bet that come Tuesday there are going to be a lot of threads about people not being the defender online. I just lost an OT game on Varsity level against the Heat (I was the Raptors) because of it.

After the first half I was beating the guy buy 12, and as soon as we started the 3rd, he would refuse to be the guy guarding whoever had the ball. From there, no one I gave the ball to could do much of anything, and Hassan and Bosh prevented any pick and roles from resulting in any points in the paint. Most of his points from there just came from steals (trying to sizeup Dragic with Lowry or bad passes when I couldn't do anything to get passed my man) and fastbreaks.

Not saying the guy sucked (he wasn't trying to cheese or anything, he just couldn't play good defence and his halfcourt offence was bad), but the AI onball defence gave the dude a major crutch that without he would have gotten blown out.

Yeah, this is the first year since MyPlayer started where I don't want to play the mode at all. In 2k13 and 14 that's all I played of the game. The long *** cutscenes and the fact that everything is just a curated experience is a drawback.

Why the hell aren't we actually playing through a season? At least initially, we just get dropped into random games with 'key' moments. Supposedly, after my first game my team is 4-5.

I just play a 12 minute quarter game where I shot 39% and only had one offensive rebound. By luck the ball should should just bounce to one of my guys a few times a game. If I don't control them my guys will not attack the offensive glass.

I would be more interested in playing MyCareer if it wasnt such a soap opera. They completely lost me with that mode now.

Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

I hate to be that guy but there's a lot of morphing / player clipping in this game. I normally turn a blind eye to it but it's a bit excessive at times. I've had players whole bodies clip right through each other, players bodies fuse together when playing tight defense on then ball handler, etc... I hope this can be cleaned up in a patch because it's definitely an eye sore & immersion killer when it happens.

i doubt 2k saw or even cared
about my twitter posts asking
for more recognition of records
and accomplishments beyond
simple stat overlays but i am so
glad they added achievement
plaques to MyCourt walls so
that your hard work can be seen.
definitely playing beyond my usual
5 seasons in this version of 2k ball.

Is it just me or does it seem like all cpu teams do is attack the basket and the is on Pro, Sim settings 8minute quarters. I'm not seeing an outside or perimeter game by the cpu.

"In the past, NBA 2K has been raked over the coals for having players too muscular or too skinny. In NBA 2K16, heavier guys are represented well and there's an overall distinction between the different body frames in the league." (from Bleacher Reports 2k16 review)

can you change your socks in mycareer

Yes. Go to the store in 2k Nav and it's bottom right option. (if the error code doesn't stop you.)

The more I play the more I realize that this game is absolutely beautiful to look at. The bump in visuals make this such a nice looking game. It may at first only seem like a small improvement on last years game but now I realize its is a major upgrade in visuals. If your tv is set up right you are in for a treat.
