NBA 2K16: Biggest Pet Peeve?

Re: NBA 2K16: Biggest Pet Peeve?

*The way Rosters work.

I spend months on end editing my roster only for 2k to keep releasing new content which I then cannot use because they don't allow you to integrate it into anything other than the most current official roster file they put out.

Jerseys. Player movements. Player appearances etc - all are basically unusable unless you insist on playing with 2k's generic, unaltered roster update.


*The fact that almost everything is customizable yet 2k still can't give us the ability to edit sock colour or short length......REALLY?

*Zero authentic arena sounds/music for classic teams. It's been missing since 2k12 - retro team arenas feel empty and pointless.

Yeah, I know that's 3 peeves, but what ever.

NBA 2K16: Biggest Pet Peeve?

A few of my pet peeves straight off the head that are little things that irks me:

1. Not having a better FA experience in MyCareer. But the little thing that irks me about FA is that you cannot see the teams roster until you sign w/ them.

2. When playing online games, you cannot view the highlights or game track like you could in previous games.

3. When CAP's, you can't assign tattoos to them.

4. When trying to join a friends park, you have to go through one whole loading screen to get to a random park. Then join your friends and have to wait again. Last year, you could hop right into your friends park. Things like this is what I don't understand.

5. Before in MyCareer, when looking at the social media, you could actually click the topic and it would take you right to that section. For example, it'll say Raptors beat Heat 87-77. Last year you could click on that and it'll take you straight to the box score.

6. Having to start your association, Mycareer or etc over to get new jerseys that are released.

I've got 3 huge pet peeves about this game. They don't really stop me from playing, but really get to me and eventually cause me to turn of and walk away.

1. Grabbing a rebound and have to wait til the CPU is fully back on D or around half court to push the ball. BUT CPU can toss 3/4 passes to wipe open players not being guarded under the hoop.

2. When in isolation making a hesitation move...defender is BEATEN only to have some type of invisable wall or (you cant go yet) animation play out and allows defender to get back into postion.

3. Player speed!! I truly belive this will never be fixed and every year I pray it is, but I'm let down. dont belive me try making a steal at half court with Chris Paul against any center in the leauge. I can bet you they'll ride your hip all the way to the hoop which will result in a missed layup.

Re: NBA 2K16: Biggest Pet Peeve?

Mine would have to be refs getting in the way when running down the sideline (getting sucked into the collision animation).

And also getting sucked into a screen even when you clearly move your player around it.

How quickly the CPU reacts to loose balls kills me every time. Also when the ball magnetically goes into their hands while my guy is going for the ball and is in better position.

This.

- Not being able to skip Timeouts/Halftime/Post Game right away wasting time.

- Not being able to create a team (have to do it in a mode instead of creating them and using logo/jerseys wherever).

- My teammates being idiots. Almost every possession someone is unguarded. And not being able to grab a rebound/loose ball, CPU gets a ton they shouldn't.

Re: NBA 2K16: Biggest Pet Peeve?

* Gameplay overall including defense, transition defense, post defense, pick & roll defense, alley oops, morphing, sliding, rebounding, post offense

* Player bodies look hulking and too big

* Colours are wrong especially when it comes to floors and jerseys

* Non-existent anklebreakers

* Generic arena sounds, PA also

* Roster constitution is what i don't like, too many 90's players, also too many in high 80's

* Scanned vs Non-scanned shoes ratio

* Lack of in-game physics (players, ball, rim) unrealistic collision, fouls, contacts in general

Re: NBA 2K16: Biggest Pet Peeve?

It shouldn't be difficult for the game to check the stats of the player entering the game and see if it's possible, and yet 2K can't be bothered. Huge pet peeve.

[BryanAllen42]

My biggest pet peeve has to be in Pro-Am (basically the only mode I play outside of grinding in MyCareer)

1) I'm 6'9 and a PF but am forced to play Center against dudes that are 7'3. I wanna play like Kevin Love, not Hassan Whiteside. Ridiculous that it plays you outside of your position type. Really ruins a lot for me.

2) The white vs white jerseys. We changed our team colors to Yellow and Red for this reason. Ridiculous.

3) The ability to "choose" your AI teammates. I think 2k should do some mix of MyTeam and ProAm, where you can unlock Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum teammate cards. That way, if you only have 3/4 people playing instead of 5, you can plug in others. At the VERY least, there should be some consistency. Maybe allow you to create a player to use in those positions and level them up based solely on their game time. Idk. Something to make those random Computer players more lively.

4) Ability to assign users to a team. I created the ProAm team me and our friends play with. I'm not able to play but others want to, it bothers me that they can't just pick up and play. 2k needs to look to FIFA Pro Clubs on how to handle this.

The whole game!!!

Agree with this. MLB The Show is teasing a return of Sounds of the Show, hopefully it's like it was last gen and if so, that 2K follows suit. Those arena sounds add soooo much to the game. I went back and played 2k13 on the PS3 and smiled every time I heard D Rose's chime every time I hit a shot. We need that back!

Re: NBA 2K16: Biggest Pet Peeve?

1) When you can't break out of a celebration after a big basket and the other team comes down and scores

2) Playing MyGM or any other mode where your teammates are computers and sometimes after you make a basket your center goes down the court and stands out of bounds under the basket so the other team's center gets a wide open layup

I especially hate the PF that doesn't guard the stretch 4 at the 3point line.

Honestly my biggest pet peeve is people using white away jerseys and/or black home jerseys in MyTeam or Pro-Am.

2K should find a means of restricting the lightness and darkness of jerseys to prevent this.

or just allow you to choose jersey AFTER you match with a team

I've got 3 huge pet peeves about this game. They don't really stop me from playing, but really get to me and eventually cause me to turn of and walk away.

both of these also irk me .... especially #2. ugh ruins branching out of sizeups/crossovers

[GuwopGeezus]

1) No 4v4 courts in the flyers or rivet city parks and no 5v5 in any park

2) When you play pro am with less than 5 players they never give you a big man as your CPU teammate. You could be playing with 4 point guards and the best they'll give you is a small forward.

Pet peeve?

PLAYER FATIGUE!!!!!!!!! How many of you have started a game, offense gets the ball from opening tip and the defense blocks a shot and it goes out of bounds under the basket. With auto subs on or off, your defense will lose energy without the ball in play and the clock is not running. You should not have to sub your players in less than 10 seconds into the game. This doesn't happen only at the beginning of the game. Whenever the offense takes the ball out under the basket, it will drain your defensive players energy. This is not right. This is not basketball.


Another pet peeve??? When throwing the ball in after a made basketball, why do the players have a certain spot to throw the ball in? Why does it take so long to throw it in? In REAL BASKETBALL, you can run the baseline.

Re: NBA 2K16: Biggest Pet Peeve?

Pet peeve as in minor issues?

When I grab a rebound and while I'm trying to push the ball up court, I get sucked into an overagressive bumping animation by the defense.

That animation where someone jumps on you and you stumble for a few seconds. It should be a foul but you get stuck into an unbreakable animation.

[Skyflame21]

Mine is the inability for players to maintain their dribbles when they get bumped. Absolutely drives me nuts. I'm ok with a bad dribbler losing control but to have your PG with a high rating he shouldn't just lose the ball as often as the do.
