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

Is there a profile somewhere that shows hours logged into the game? I always like those kinds of numbers. I see the V.I.P. screen, but it doesn't seem to show that many stats.

Also, I'm having trouble scoring in this game. I am using A&S's sliders right now, and I think people will mostly say "Up your sliders," but they're essentially the same in general. Anything I should be doing if I'm not running plays to get more open shots? I'm using the Warriors, by the way.

I don't call a lot of plays either....I just let the freelance offense flow for a lot of open looks. A big thing here is that you have to let the plays develop. If your dribbling without purpose the court will shrink on you and you'll have no spacing...

Other than that, dribble hand offs and give and go's work pretty well....then there's always the good ol' pick and roll

Anyone manage to do a ProAm walk on yet?

I played one like 3AM EST. Lost by 2 on a late score. It was a mix of high ovr and low ovr players. Input lag wasn't too bad. Its like last year REC but with jerseys. Cats still don't pass. Lol

Jason smith has a higher vertical rating than Aaron Gordon and Hezonja. That's all I got.

Transition D is awful, fast break or after a made basket.

Seems like the ability to play D in and near the paint against aggressive players who try to force the issue is bogged down. The offense is rewarded over good D. They either slide by you or its a foul and most instances.

All my post are from online play.

Don't want to repeat much of what's been said, but the first thing I immediately noticed was the buttery smooth fluidity of the jump shots, feels great.

Speed of the players is very noticeable. You see a big difference between say a Kyrie Irving vs. Mo Williams.

Defense is fun and this is coming from a Kings fan. You need to play sound D or you're gonna get smoked. I can see from a few games, I'm gonna have fun causing havoc with Willie "Trill" Cauley-Stein.

It's going to take me a minute to get used to the new substitution on the right stick.

Sneakers Sneakers, Sneakers! As a sneakerhead, it's about time they scanned them in. They look great in game.

What's some of your favorite songs on the soundtrack? For me, it's Rise and Shine(J.Cole; the most underrated rapper in the game) and I'm so sorry.

I'm despising the interface (game menus etc..) for this game. Not liking it at all. This needs an overhaul imho.

- MyGM is too complex for my own liking. Prefer just to play a regular franchise and sim/play games through multiple seasons without the need to worry about team meetings, team chemistry, team morale, goals, etc..

Graphics and gameplay realism/likeness is incredible. 2K has done an amazing job on this part of the game. Kudos to the team who worked on this part of the game.

Sounds like you're looking for myleague.

So wait, we can't independently select the Stance socks for each team or player outside of MyPlayer??? Am I missing something?

I got one game in this morning. Online felt great. Couldn't get in a second though.

As I'm going through and tuning up the rotations for all the teams, I'm so thankful that Leftos and company added that "forced non-starter" option. Hopefully it will keep the CPU from doing too many wonko things.

I will say this though, many NBA team have absolutely abysmally constructed rosters. It's like playing in a pick-up game where there are just random skills set. I see why the CPU has so many problems with rotations, the real life GM's are crazy, lmao.

This is the best sports game period. Everybody covered the good. My negatives are..

1. After scoring, my team stands there and the other team hustles for easy buckets (transition defense)
2. Big men don't defend the paint against back door cuts (protect the paint emphasis)
3. Lebron shot 12 threes in a game and hit 10
4. Seems like every time I went up (20+) the cpu went into god mode, hitting every shot.
5. During post game, Shaq said Andre Drummond makes a living outside the paint even thought he never attempted a jump shot. He then said klay Thompson is a beast on the low block.
6. jahlil okafor set up the offense from the 3pt line. Drove to the paint with a crossover, then proceeded to get blocked by jose Calderon.
7. My gm... The cpu offers stupid trades (a 2018 1st, Nene for Steph Curry). Talk about lop sided. That would never happen.

I hope 2k17 brings a real have show.. Like 2k football. A weekly highlight show, talk about moves around the league, in depth draft preview, review. Full on d-league... Promoting and demoting players to and from. Actually scouting prospects (watching their film or games). A real draft (players going on stage, draft analysis on picks, predictions, arguments (bill Simmons lol), Boos and cheers, suits, reports, interviews. Player hold outs, trade demands. New dunk animations. CAP tattoos, body type.

Again, the game is amazing. I'm just pointing to things that would enhance what we have

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

Absolutely loving this game, but one thing 2k needs to address is players cocking the ball back for a dunk in traffic. I cannot stand having a wide open dunk/ layup, only to get blocked from a trailing defender.

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

This game is truly beautiful! It plays smooth, its balanced and absolutely fun! I love how basketball IQ plays a big part in this game. Defense is once again fun to play, matchups are very important, as well as staying within your team.

All I need is someone to release draft classes for the next 3 years and I'm ready to go. Got my logos ready, designed my court numerous times as well as uniforms. As soon as draft classes hit, I'll jump into MyLeague and not look back.

A good way to limit this is to go up with a one handed dunk instead of a two hander. I'm use to just pushing straight up on the stick for a dunk and that triggers the two-hander, I've got to get use to using the dominate hand dunk if someone is closing.

Anyone know why the new socks aren't being worn in games?

My first two games everyone had them on. Since then, it's just plain white socks.

Anything I could have done or need to do? I haven't done much but Play Now and change some audio settings.
