Offensive rebounding needs work, teams that should be killing it on the glass online just dont.

Saw slider sharing is back, glad to see finally that added back. All Star with sim settings is really giving me a tough time, which I like, that's the way its suppose to be, ALL Star setting was like this for me, quite a challenge, so glad to see that's back, and I hope you don't mess with it this year, no matter how many online people cry about it. YOu can really tell the difference between good players and bad ones. Really as far as gameplay goes I cant find anything negative really. Probably the 1 thing negative is picks don't seem quite strong enough, and it seems hard to get by your player because the pick man don't get close enough to him. Maybe its just me not being very good, but that's my feel on that so far, felt that way last year too for me. I do wish with fake players on classic teams you would let us fully edit them, as in changing skin color. Would make fixing all the missing player much easier IMO.

Are the foul sliders working better than 2k15? Any chance to reach sim numbers of fouls this year?

Just got beat in a Superstar sim game, Lakers vs Celtics where I gave up 46% shooting, which is garbage in today's NBA. Last year the Lakers let opponents shoot... 46% from the field. Hibbert had 4 blocks, but he fouled out late in the game. I think that he may foul out of every game in MyLeague, until I let him walk after the first year.

Best menu ever! nice, clean, sleek, simple, but at the same time high tech, just my style, and I love how the moved the camera options to the main part of the pause screen so we don't have to dig for it.

Some quick impressions

Good
- Teams take 3s instead of just barrelling in. On that same note, the PGs don't take all the shot. Played against the Hornets and got bodied by Big Al.

- I like the number of foul shots this year.

- Defense in general is better. You mess up, you pay for it but also you lock in and it works. Lots of blocks.

- i like the different pass buttons

- Mismatches matter.

Bad (there are a lot but most of nitpicks)

- The highlights not working is inexcusable. Played on 8 minutes and still lost them by halftime. Luckily, the actual highlights suck so its not a big loss but it does make the game feel..empty. More so since they advertised the "awesome" halftime show. I also noticed that the ingame highlights are less too overtime.

- Perhaps too many blocks lol. Had 15 with the Magic

- Greg Anthony kinda sucks...sounds like he is sleepwalking through it at times. Commentary overall feels stitched together at times.

- Might be a slider thing but I still don't like how sometimes you NEED a screen to get by dudes. Kemba isn't locking down Wroten off the bounce like Prime Gary Payton. Sliders did help

- The substitution, playcalling controls are garbage

The Ugly

- yo....yo. The Sixers are going to be awful this year. I will need this game more than ever lol. ;_;


So far so good tho. Some slider fixes here and there will help. And most of the flaws (based off of 2 and 3/4 games) are nitpicks. but they do begin to add up. Still they should be fixable or at least won't break the game for me...

Good jerb 2k...for now

I am playing on PC and in my opinion game is much better optimised than last year. Love the gameplay it take some time to get used to it. Press conferences are nice, practices, love them!

First NBA season is a bit of boring with all the cutscenes, on the second season we get our my career back. Servers on PC are much better. No lag, there are people on my park, there are people in pro-am, gauntlet mode is interesting and fun to play. Still hadn't tried mygm mode, since there is so many things to do in this game now...

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but when i was playing the Kings at the end of the game they played if you happy and you know it, and the crowd clapped and stomped their feet when prompted to, really cool.

Love the game so far. Got a few things that I don't love about it and I hope they get addressed.

1) Substitutions. I'm getting used to the controls though, but they weren't broken to begin with. I understand their reason for wanting to keep the players fingers on the right stick, but it's takes away from the game. It takes time and focus off the actual gameplay. I don't want to "LOOK" at what player I want out and then do it again for what player I want in. It's terrible.

2) PlayNowOnline Choosing Opponents. So they changed the system online now which is great. Love the ranking system. However, you can't tell what jersey or what team your opponent is going to choose. Why? Sure, make it random, but if they choose the same colored jersey as your own team, what gives? Like today, I used the Lakers with the Home Yellow throwback jersey. My opponent was the Warriors. I was like cool, another newb who wants to be the best team in the game. No problem. And then when the game started, he actually chose a Yellow throwback jersey too! So now we got two teams with the same colored jersey.

There is absolutely no reason for this. Hope they fix this asap!

3) Jump Ball. My goodness why are they flailing? For realism? It's just a jump ball. Make it like 2K15. Simple. Whoever hits the button at the right time, wins. No need for all the flailing like Magikarp from Pokemon.

That's pretty much all I can think of. Other than that, I really dig the game. Graphics are just like 2K15 but the body scans helped the presentation a lot. Each player has it's own weight to it. The commentary isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I do miss Steve Kerr though. He was good imo. I love the defense and offense controls. It does take a bit of getting used to, however, I think it'll benefit the player in the long run. The passing is great. Shooting is dope. No more lag on some shooters online. For example, Jordan Clarkson, Jodie Meeks, Steve Blake all had some whack releases when you play with them online.

That's pretty much it. Hopefully I can get a hold of a developer and talk about my three main issues. ESPECIALLY the PlayNowOnline jersey crap and choosing your opponent!!! We should be able to see who our opponent chooses and what jersey they choose!
