But running offense is key, matchups, defensive match-ups etc. The game is just so deep and the AI is second to none quite frankly. Pro.Sim is no joke. This year feels like a brand new game. I was not going to get it.....but some trusted OS'ers here swore by it and said it was far different than 2K15 which let's face it.....that last patch changed things and not for the better with gameplay. It was swish city.

Not on 2K16. You must earn your looks and space every trip down the floor.

The presentation is just off the hook this year. I am blown away on how immersive they have made every game with player interviews, the TNT team....it's really amazing. I am really diving into the practice court as well as playing plenty of play now games with different teams.....and of course getting familiar with my Heat playbook and gearing up for a glorious MyLeague with my retooled Miami Heat.

This game is about as close to sports game perfection as I have seen


9.5/10

This has legendary gold standard potential.
As someone who uses your The Show sliders and basically agrees with your every post about that game this shocked me.... Not saying you are wrong, just surprised you find 2K16 to be so good on a sim level. The game is good but does not remind me of actual basketball. It is a strategy game for sure and I too love how you must use spacing to score. But the pace of the game is just not sim to me. Nor is how players cut and maintain speed.

Maybe I need sliders... What sliders are you using?
