I don't understand the hype?

[xCoachDx]

I've played this game for about 5 hours and I'm seeing issues that have been present for years.

Too many blocked shots, too many tipped passes, random foul calls (Not trying to defend the shot but fouls anyways), AI teammates moving COMPLETELY out of position, slow defenders keeping up with fast ball handlers, ball handlers dribbling off peoples feet, AI players running out of bounds, AI jumping on pump fakes but landing and recovering as I am trying to dribble by them, lol I just don't get it. I listen to everyone talk about what a great game 2K16 is, and all I've encountered are these silly flaws. I've seen teleporting players, players getting sucked into animations, players moving through other player's bodies, the same kind of issues we make fun of Madden for having. Lol I actually enjoy every bit of 2K16 OTHER than the gameplay itself. I feel like the cpu team does not make stupid mistakes that my AI teammates do. They'll switch for no reason, they'll cut into congested areas whereas the cpu team has great spacing, my players CONSTANTLY get stuck on ball screens while the cpu just slips around them, dribbling full speed with LeBron and run into Steph Curry like I hit brick wall, lol it makes zero sense to me.

2k16 is the most realistic basketball simulation to date. How can you not see the improvements from 2k15? Sure it's not perfect, they said themselves that they are still far from where they want the gameplay to be. If perfect basketball simulation is what you need then go play IRL.

Oh I know some things are improved. But there are some things that were big problems last year that are still present this year. Chase down blocks, dribbling off of peoples feet, cpu locking down with slow defenders, silly passing accuracy is my biggest complaint. So sick of having a guy open and they'll throw it straight into a defender lol. It's embarrassing. Oh but I loved the cpu doing Enes Kanter's behind the head pass out of a layup to the opposite wing with pinpoint accuracy just now.. lol this game makes me facepalm.

Oh hey, the "you're not any good" comment. Shocker.

And that had absolutely zero relevance to the things I pointed out..

Re: I don't understand the hype?

This game is the gold standard for basketball games and sports games in general. I wish every sports game got the same treatment as nba 2k, you can tell people who know and love basketball worked on this game.

Re: I don't understand the hype?

I'm not seeing these issues. Maybe because I'm on a lower difficulty. I won't comment too much since I've mostly been in my career but the AI on both teams is incredibly intelligent from my experience so far.

It's perfectly ok if you don't like the game...some others have expressed the same...

but these "why is everyone else enjoying the game because I'm not" threads never end well...as you can see

Don't be be misery loves company guy...

Oh man this bugs me so much... its incredible. You re essentially getting sucked into the contact animation as the defender is in the air. Terrible stuff. But other than that I havent experienced much else to really bug me.

Re: I don't understand the hype?

It's okay then stop playing 2k. Maybe nba live 16 is better for you

Re: I don't understand the hype?

It's almost the same like 2k15. They said it's a totally different game, i don't think so!! It's an improved game, not a totally different game.

Re: I don't understand the hype?

Sadly I concur with the OP. And don't try me with that you suck comment bcuz I'm far from that. There are flaws in the game that was in past game's. The fast break is out of control. Players turbo right past the defense even after made baskets, the defense is better but not by much (maybe I'm not noticing great on ball D bcuz I use the Mavs.

I feel like the cpu D is overpowering, another 2K bandaid to fix the defense. I could go on but I'll leave it at that. I'll admit that the game is good if your playing a sim player, but playing these bums,that play like idiots will cause one to make post/threads like this one.
