NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

[sva91]

I've been reading these impressions so much I was ready for the new control config. I actually really like the new controls. Holding LT to post up is actually much better..Youre not locked in, just let go of LT and you're able to back out of it. The passing is soo much better. I hated the sluggish overhead pass that would disrupt the offense last year. Game is just more fun, and feels right. The movement, the rebounding seems much better too. Rodman, Whiteside, and Love are all over the boards.

I really didnt like last years game. This year the players just look so awesome..when they start sweating, and the shoes! I know Im rambling, but its just a great looking, fun game. Legends are fun again to play with. The shooting animations are just sooo good. Durant is one of my favorite player models in the game, just spot on. I only played last years game for a couple of weeks, Im mainly a FIFA guy, but this game will actually get more action than FIFA this year. Good job 2K..just a great game overall.

Now if we can just tweak some of the legends..maybe get Sheed in the game...that would be great.

After playing about 12 12 minutes game games this game is definitely harder than last year.

I have been playing on All-Star Sim because going into scrimmage I could clearly see that this was harder than last year. I don't think I will move up until I can blow the CPU out.

• The CPU's on ball defense is on 2K11's slightly unrealistic with the bumps but can be broken at times with a sizeup then just driving on an angle.
• I have lost 2 games in OT and just won a 2 OT game Miami me vs. Raptors
• The CPU game is on another level here the adjustments are just crazy how they double and rotate.
• The animations emotions in the game are just crazy.
• Blocking is insane this very, very nice

The only cons is the CPU passing in the paint. I hope the gameplay team adjusts the passing in the paint by the CPU. Am I the only one that has AI teammates missing their man and the CPU throws it to them for an easy score on the backdoor cut. The funny thing is 2K15 out of the box had the same issue. What I am noticing is the assist are way up per game from too many situations like this.

only played 1 full game Cavs vs Bulls and lost 102-107

and while this score doesnt show it. i LOVE the new defense.

Yes i was torched more times than i am used to but it was fair. I missed rotations and bang Rose or Butler scored on me most times.

But thats great! Because the game also rewards you for not quitting on plays,making smart block attemps etc. Its a great sytem of reward and punishment^^

and what i REALLY love too is the CPU beat me with real basketball. no cheating by the CPU.. no impossible nearly half court shots.. just plain solid ball while also exploiting my weaknesses on defense. Thats how its supposed to be. great

Overall. I am amazed.

oh and btw the Sim Engine for Myleague etc is the best its ever been. Yes as every year some tweaks where nessesary to keep Durant from averaging 9apg or to get Harden to score 25+ppg but overall the Roster right now in terms of ratings is waaaay better than its ever been at release.

Loving the gameplay and presentation in the game, but the interface and menus have to go IMO. Much prefer NBA Live's menus/interface tbh. This has been a pet peeves of mine for a few years now with 2K.

Anyone else with me on this one?

Last year definitely, love the interface this year...

I'm glad they added the extra passing controls and gave us complete control...but they dumbed down the standard pass button as far as contextual passing goes it seems...I felt it was great last year. It's a challenge, as sometimes during a drive I can't get to X & O quick enough in the heat of the moment. Guess it'll take some time to get used to...

Also there needs to be waaaay less "standing position contact fouls" and more "driving into the lane with a scorer and getting heavy contact" fouls

The MyTeam menus are awful. I just want a screen with a list of my players so I can make and edit lineups. It took me a while to figure out that replace player didn't put that player on the bench, but out of the roster and into the IR

I love the gameplay and new modes, but the Mycareer was way overhyped. I was bored by the story.

Watching poorly animated people talk in a room for extended periods of time isn't exactly spellbinding. You couldn't choose one aspect of your career's direction except for choosing a high-school and college.

Its also very disappointing that the MyPlayer and CAP models are the same as last year. The whole area above the shoulders doesn't look natural or real at all on the mgplayers. NBA Live did a great job of making that stuff look real. The lack of choosing what body type you want is also very disappointing.

The advertisement of the game stresses "Be Yourself" yet everything and all of the MyPlayers feel very homogenized once again...

I can bet that come Tuesday there are going to be a lot of threads about people not being the defender online. I just lost an OT game on Varsity level against the Heat (I was the Raptors) because of it.

After the first half I was beating the guy buy 12, and as soon as we started the 3rd, he would refuse to be the guy guarding whoever had the ball. From there, no one I gave the ball to could do much of anything, and Hassan and Bosh prevented any pick and roles from resulting in any points in the paint. Most of his points from there just came from steals (trying to sizeup Dragic with Lowry or bad passes when I couldn't do anything to get passed my man) and fastbreaks.

Not saying the guy sucked (he wasn't trying to cheese or anything, he just couldn't play good defence and his halfcourt offence was bad), but the AI onball defence gave the dude a major crutch that without he would have gotten blown out.
