NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog With Mike Wang

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

The only issue with these passing controls is that they never allow for you to use them with icon passing, which is basically the only way that I pass so that I know the pass will go to the correct player.

Edit: I haven't read the blog yet, so I don't know if this is addressed or not.

Because players aren’t able to cheat physics by sliding or radically shifting momentum it allows the flow of basketball to play out in a more natural fashion.

This is the biggest win for me. If it holds true, I will be a happy camper. Nothing worse than trying to take a three-point shot, only to have the player's feet slide inside of the line because of where they need to start for the shooting animation. That, and blowing by a defender, and they slide back into position.

Can't wait to play this game. My KINGS look respectable this year. I just hope rebounding is more responsive this year. Often you hit the button and players just stood there.

This was probably one my favorite parts:

And a quick side note on dunks, we’ve improved the ability of bigs to dunk from a stand when operating deep in the paint. So it feels amazing to shake a guy in the post or come down with an offensive board and finish with authority like a big should.

Wow man



If these things work out with minimal bugs this game is going to be crazy.

This gameplay blog sounded like a personal wishlist of everything I wanted touched from a strictly gameplay standpoint. They had me at physics long rebounds but they threw in so much more woww.

They have almost every complaint/request I ever heard captured in this gameplay blog from various posters of this forum man so they are reading these forums and cooking up a nice game.

Will there be upgrades to historic players also?

I was just thinking about this. Hopefully alot of these new gameplay physics, A.I. upgrades and other stuff carries over to the historic players also.

What does tracking rebounds and blocks mean ?


Not sure if I like the new passing controls


Other than that it seems good.


Just hope they work on crossovers in traffic not being dribbled off the defenders foot. And double teams resulting in passes going 10 feet over the players head.

All signs are pointing to this being the GOAT 2K.
