NBA 2K16: Biggest Pet Peeve?

Re: NBA 2K16: Biggest Pet Peeve?

(A) No post game highlights PS4 >8 minutes.
(B) Player running away from the pass, resulting in a steal, turnover, or bad angle toward.
(C) Short arming rebounds, poor rebounding logic.
(D) Players/Big Man guarding the crowd/standing out of the bounds under the basket instead of guarding the paint.

(B) Player running away from the pass, resulting in a steal, turnover, or bad angle toward. Pass into the paint. Notice how Draymond Green sudden runs away from the ball.



(C) Short arming rebounds, poor rebounding logic. Harrison Barnes doesn't fully extend his arm to get the rebound. Even if he doesn't actually get the redound, the L shape shortening of the arms looks terrible. No one does that. Only happens in 2k.

Kyrie Irving 6'3"
Harrison Barnes 6'8"




(D) Players/Big Man guarding the crowd/standing out of the bounds under the basket instead of guarding the paint.

THIS> THIS> THIS, end thread, lol

these 3 things are game breaking imo. Running away from passes, bigs under the basket for no reason not guarding their man, and players running AWAY from passes.

Played 2k since the year 2000 and I have never been more frustrated, smh.

MyCareer how the announcers still call my player (whose actual name is in the audio files) "Freq" and I'm still forced to do that STUPID vibin' dance

THIS.
Ive grown to loathe Spike Lee. And god forbid you want to start a different My Career at a dif position and have to trudge thru that hackneyed story again...

Re: NBA 2K16: Biggest Pet Peeve?

When the CPU passes to a perfectly defended bigman who instantly throws up a spinning underhand shot for a foul. Why don't they post up? Or at least catch it and throw up a floater or something not lunge themselves into defenders for granny shots

Pet Peeve: Players complaining about out of bounds calls on tipped passes.

The game knows its a tipped pass, it says it in your grade thing, but your dude will always complain about being called out of bounds instead of being happy he tipped it.

Spike Lee basically has a custom 2k experience that we are all forced to share.

Let us choose our voice actor, give us 3 options... the dudes cant act anyway, shouldnt be too expensive

My biggest pet peeve is the bogus shot blocks especially on dunk attempts, the ball strips, reach ins, tipped/deflected passes. I guess I had more than one. LOL

Body Types, I thought they were supposed to be better this year?

Everyone is still too stocky, Ball players have long skinny legs - look at Karl-Anthony Towns and Kristaps Porzingis - their in-game models are way too stocky.

Need some skinny body types in there.

Re: NBA 2K16: Biggest Pet Peeve?

I just want to be able to leave a Play Now game before the game starts without completely leaving the game. When I draw OKC, GSW, CLE 7 or 8 times in a row it gets annoying leaving the game that many times. I use Portland, Utah, and occasionally ATL. I don't want to play the three best teams constantly when people use spam "plays" on offense. I feel like I'm the only one using a half court offense.

Hello,

I really really love these 2k basketball games because for better or for worse they try really hard to deliver a great and varied experience very year . BUT... i have three major pet peeves:

1. the transition D, this is two fold: First off, is the AI awareness between transitioning from offense to defense, if i send an entry pass with the pg and it is intercepted, my pg should be the first person back on defense,
Secondly the transition defense logic, i am sick of the first guy back guarding no one but a spot under the rim in all situations and that player being the last person to pick up a man when the fast break transitions to a half court game making the match-ups unfavorable. you are taught in a 2 on 1 fast break to do something similar but in a even numbers break 2v2 or 3v3 you need to man up and not sit under the rim let the second guy in a 2v2 break beat you back door and not box out ,and they are almost stuck there even if you switch to them you are frighting some unknown force just to move them and the second you switch off them the go back to the paint and ignore the open man or even the transition to half court so they don't pick up a man, this has been in 2k since nba 2k7 please please PLEASE!!! fix this and i can overlook the next two.

2. the computers ability to catch you in fast break situations and stop you from dribbling from what looks like an animation that started from an interaction with you and the defender when the defender is behind you. one I've seen it happen with PF catching up to PGs and SGs and not athletic PFs catching up to SLOW PGs

3. the AIs ability to seemingly recover alter their body constitution ie what looks like breaking bones or even moving at unreasonable speeds to either cut you off from position of advantage, block your shot when they are two person lengths away an you are already in the air for your jump shot and to catch unreasonable rebounds after contesting a shot on the other side of the backboard.

You need skinny..... I've always been a Shaq,Z-Bo, Al Jefferson body type. But my player looks like he is sick. I'm not asking for ripped muscle. I just want to look myself.

Ofcourse we should get hefty number of choices when creating our players, someone is skinny, someone is stocky maybe even hulking, some guys have skinny legs but stronger upper part of body and vice versa. I would like game to offer us variety of choices or to give us sliders for body ala sims where you can create numerous different body types from Jared Sullinger/Glen Davis type to the Tayshaun Prince/Kevin Durant types and everything in between.

funky defense, pinpoint passes by the computer, easy turnovers, skating on defense trying to stay with the computer player...great game but it has it's issues as well

[Bigman101]

- Spacing issues, players too fast, too big.
- Passing.
- Hesitation 3, Jamal Crawford sizeup, Aldridge release. MyPark cheese fest mentality. I thought they were cutting the cheese.
- Broken stamina (how did they manage to break it? In 2k15 was perfect).
- Getting stripped driving to the paint.
- Midgets blocking giants.
- Mid-range game inexistent.

Lol midget blocking Giants

It really takes me out of the game man . I have good shooters , my opponent is playing zone I feel like I should make him pay . I understand real life doesn't work like that but this is a video game . What's the point of me strategizing if the game is against me ?

I say the same exact thing when users are playing offball defense in online quick matches. I used to expose that ish in 2k15. Run around the 3pt line wit Bradley Beal and Paul Pierce? Excellent release every time, JUST because the CPU didn't play close like they do in '16. Only way to stop me is to play user defense and then I play real basketball. Other than that, I guess Beal's scoring all the points

Gaah I miss '15.

Biggest pet peeve for 2K16.

"Gameplay is fine " Are you guys f****** serious ???
All I see are massive errors in gameplay .

Solid Objects/Solid Players :
Heres an idea 2K. Make all the players solid. Make the backboard solid. Make the coach solid. Make the bench chairs solid. Make the Refs solid . Make the cheerleaders solid. Make the mascot solid and so on.
I know you have to use low poly 3d models for gaming , if you can incorporate resistance in the game through the controller , then you should be able to make everything in the game more realistic in reality. Other game developers have managed to do it successfully.

This is the only sporting game I know of where my opponent can get a clear shot at the basket through my head , chest , arm ..or be able to block my shot with a hand through the backboard , rim .

And now to add insult to injury in the latest version they ensured at the offensive end , opponents become rigid and therefore produce turnovers whilst Im dribbling and driving to the basket . Also the defensive movement is to also cover my shooting hand . As in run through it.

Offensive basket / Goaltending
Is it just me or is this just gone to a whole new level of stupid !! Ive clearly Blocked shots heading up into the basket . Grabbed clear Rebounds that have come up off the rim . Add to this my hand or fingers passing through the ball.
Whistle blows !! Come on 2K . Fix the problem ..

Dribbling :
Clear uncontested drives through the lane for a dunk or layup to be dragged 10 feet across the court or into a pack of opponents.

Yoyo Ball :
In 16 there are far more instances of balls doing the most bizarre things. Turning at right angles .Clearly heading out of bounds but doing a magic bullet and ending up in an opponents hand.
Being bounced forward but going backwards . Bouncing through defensive players on fast breaks but coming back to players dribbling hand .

Steals :
Ive also noticed a clear disadvantage created in stealing the ball. On the defensive end . Opponents pass the ball chest to head height . Eliminating the prospect of a steal .
The direct MyPlayer response is to always move low . Also pressing steal sends you in motion 1/2 way down the court .
Whereas on the offensive end , all the defensive players become rigid and put hands and arms out .

Speed/ Reaction time :
I have to say the reaction time for MyPlayer is rubbish!!. When on defense players darting up down left right . In a lot of cases opposition players with same height weight are outrunning and out manouveuring me . Also running down the court is ridiculous. Rookie players 7'2 360 lbs running faster than 6'6 210lbs SG. Defensive players mirror your every move whereas its a struggle to do the same on defense. Now we can add , defensive opponent running ahead of you.

Coaching Grade :
I think this either needs an overhaul or piss it off completely. There are numerous instances throughout a game where Im given a directive , Offensive or Defensive where Ive already done a considerable amount . "Score when you get the chance " . As an example , as a SG Ive usually gotten 10 , 15 , 20 points in the quarter to be given a Coach grade at the end of C+ or even D or F . At this stage Im being double teamed so Ill pass the ball for Assists. Again in defensive mode the same is true . "Play hard defense ". Ill always pick up a steal or a block or two , but the Coach returns C , D or F .

AI in Commentary :
You get used to hearing the same comments game in game out . I like the Half-Time show with Ernie and Shaq. But at least include correct statistical reporting of the previous season. Ive swept teams . 4 - 0 , 3 - 0 , 2 -0 . To be told last season we lost the series 1 - 3 . Include some highlights like 13 did.

Footnote :
I think for a really enjoyable gaming experience its about getting the simple things right and 100% before you incorporate major changes. In this instance I have to give 2K16 a 4/10 . Because there are some serious gameplay issues from previous releases that havent been addressed . Animations are slightly better as are the graphics. But MyCareer outside the 4 games in College was crap !

NBA 2K17
I would hope the developers really sit down , work on and fix these long standing issues. Improve the 1 on 1 play offensive and defensive and get rid of the transparent player problems. Also human movement and reaction . Because its way off .
As for the MyCareer. 16 was a load of racist crap!!! . Freq Vibrations Im mean seriously!!
Basketball is now a fully International Sport as is the NBA. You only have to look at the 14 and 15 Draft Class to realise its dominated by Europeans , Australians , Asians etc .
So MyCareer should reflect this . Not everything associated with the NBA comes out of the US or is African American for that matter.
MyCareer should have an International direction. I like the College entrance scheme . MyPlayer should be created , enter college but develop the skills during this time . Play a full College season before the draft.
Include more Season relevant cut scenes . Rivert back to 2K15 for Agent interaction. And 2K14 for Coach interaction. You should be able to influence the makeup of your team . Include more oncourt cut scenes . Talking to opponents during the game even . A fight ! A scuffle . Include Olympic years as well as FIBA Championships.

But most importantly , be able to play out your Rookie Season . The last 3 Editions weve had - 8 games in the Season , be free agent drafted with 28 games left or wait on the bench until you get game time .

Last but not least more interaction during a game. Half time or huddle . Use the pie chart scenarios to chose directions for the game . " youre 4 points down , 46 sec on the clock " ... etc etc .
