Player likeness is amazing this yr! I love playing with deandre jordan. The life-like replication is incredible! my favorite big man to play with thus far.

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

how do i defend a fast break? or what defensive settings should i choose in order to limit fast breaks?

Offensive rebounds.... That will make players run back on defense as soon as the shot goes up.


But first things I want to say is thank god 2k change the buttons. It feels like I'm playing FIFA. Where I control the passes.. but as well as the type of pass. It helps out in every part of passing which type of pass. I drove down the middle of the court. And my offball weak side player slide down the baseline with me. Old school baseline drive baseline drift. But I was able to give a nice bounce pass to the other side of the court. I played with LeBron James (Kyrie got hurt in the second quarter). So the defense started fronting/denying everything. In old 2k's. You couldn't even throw a pass to that player. I still catch myself pressing triangle for the post lol

Speaking of post..... The post game is so unscripted. I love it so much. It really feels I contest shots on the defensive end. But I'm also give it and changing it on the other end. I love seeing the computer go for my fakes in the post.

I don't think it worked properly the last couple of years, at least in my experience.

Wait you guys are saying that it hasn't been working??.... It has been working.... What it wasn't work was dunks. I've been using it since like 2k9.

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

I enjoy the My Career mode and everything on an annual basis, but my BIGGEST complaint is, if I'm a top 10 NBA Draft Talent, why in the heck is my overall just a 55?? It baffles me every year that they have the overall that low if we're being drafted that high (save for last year, going undrafted makes sense.) That is a point of frustration for me that I do NOT understand.

That aside, this game feels GREAT on defense. For the first time, I feel like I've got a chance to defend dribble moves this year. Shooting seems a bit more concise in terms of release points than before. The passing game also feels much more refined. I can run a fast break with less awkwardness than before. Still getting used to some of the new control tweaks, but overall, its a really good game.

I can't see why guys aren't seeing CPU 3's..

I have seen some teams gun ( POE is GOD in this game)

Only things is when I played as Memphis CPU didn't double

Anybody know when roster update will come? Some rookies still not in the game like Andrew Harrison from the Grizzlies.

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

I love how even on rookie mode the computer tries to block you from going to the pick. It cause you to keep the defender off balance. By either crossing over and going away from the pick. Or they force you into the pick (ICE). My favorite has been splitting the pick and roll. I use to do it in past 2k's. But in this one depending the player hedging. You can consistently do it. If they are too slow. Another thing I like is the weakside switching on defense. It cause you to look to the far wide side man for shooters. And if you make a pass to your big. You get those 3 on 2's that happen so often in the NBA. With one defender scrambling to get back on his man. It's awesome. And it doesn't feel too powerful.

Like I said in my last post the defense in the post game feels so organic. The post game overall feels organic. I always feel sometime different happens when I'm posting and toasting lol.

Probably the first day of the season. Still got to go through roster cuts and rotation fixes.

This game is simply amazing. My few gripes pale in comparison to how good this game is. Awesome job (again) visual concepts. You continue to make great hires and great Hoops titles. Big homie Czar and OG did their thing.

Rookie and Pro aren't a joke and I am very good at 2k

It's all about adjustments

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

I've played a fair bit since release and my opinion is that the game is very very good.

Really enjoying the gameplay changes/improvements. The game feels much more like a sim compared to NBA2k15. The red defensive indicator which appears when you need to switch is a brilliant addition.

Gauntlet is a fantastic inclusion. Have played more than 30 Gauntlet games and the online component, compared to NBA2k15, is like night and day. In last years iteration, it was unplayable for me, due to the terrible amount of input delay/lag (being an Aussie, this only exacerbated the problem). This is much improved in NBA2k16, with the games ranging from smooth, to minor lag. Hope the connectivity in the rest of the online components have been improved to a similar degree.

There's still bugs and glitches present and am yet to delve into the other game modes (like MyGM etc.), but so far, the game is a big step forward from last years game.

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

Got a few solid games in over the weekend. From my limited play sessions I would say the gameplay is greatly improved. You really need to set up you offense, move the ball, use off ball movement and adjust as the game goes on. The ball handling, posting and most importantly, the defense all feel fine tuned.

The classic rosters got some much needed attention but they still have a ways to go to give us a real next gen retro experience. That said, we finally have a solid base to work off of. Should be a much better year in that department.

The My Career is a huge swing and miss. For one, the face scan still stinks. The other game's app is far superior in this respect. Went with a CAP player. The narrative is horrible. I am not a guy from the projects names "Frequency Vibrations" (really with that name Spike?). There is no feeling that it is my career at all.

All in, the gameplay is the shining star. Very well done and very polished out the box.

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

This version is a blast to play and it's an incredible simulation with tons of fun modes. I just wish Pro Am worked for me (it doesn't for some reason on my PS4).

AI was improved a lot, it doesn't feel they're cheating anymore, they just play basketball.

The biggest improvement is where it matters : gameplay. This game is a 10/10.

It feels they're 10 years beyond any other sports sim including Fifa...

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

Anyone feels CPU is sticking to you too much? Not every defender is good in the NBA and even on pro CPU is sticking to me like glue

Only issue I see. Any fix?
