I feel like these changes weren't necessary and things like lob passes could have been implemented better than creating it's own face button for it. The controls are really the only thing I'm not a fan of about this game. Everything else is great.

Keep practicing. Took me a,day to get it down! I'm surprised, in the old 2k games they had alternate controls. Heck in 2k11 and 12 you could even disable shot stick and make the right stick for dribbling.

Why not now ? Hmmmm

LOL

My wife and I had the same interaction yesterday. I literally played 2K16 all day yesterday, from sun up to sun down. I haven't done that with a video game since GRAW 2 first came out on the PS3.

I think I saw an option for it that you can. Let me check.

EDIT: Under Controller Settings, change the Pro Stick option (second from the top) to Dribble Moves.

Is there a profile somewhere that shows hours logged into the game? I always like those kinds of numbers. I see the V.I.P. screen, but it doesn't seem to show that many stats.

Also, I'm having trouble scoring in this game. I am using A&S's sliders right now, and I think people will mostly say "Up your sliders," but they're essentially the same in general. Anything I should be doing if I'm not running plays to get more open shots? I'm using the Warriors, by the way.

My owner must be suffering from an anxiety disorder.

Some issues that should be fixed is Stanley Johnson afro glitch , and Norman powell needs a cyberface and also can we get some petitions or something going so that we can be able to put tattoos on created players and as well as draft classes

Still struggling understanding the offense this year. It seems like both myself and the AI are struggling to get any kind of flow on offense, playing on All Star.

Controls are also a bit confusing and will take some getting used to. Like others not sure why they changed them.

Run into a few quibbles:

1) On MyCareer, when you are in college, your teammates don't really make you the center of the offense despite being 'the star'. As a shooting guard, I had to call for the ball constantly and run pick and rolls, because they wouldn't run plays for me.

2) *******SPOILER***********

Also in MyCareer your agent makes a big deal about how you will go #1 overall, then I went... 22nd. And nothing was made of it. There was no scene where I was disappointed, there was no reaction from my family or my agent. Really blew the immersion / film aspect they were going for.

3) I read a lot about how the myLeague / myGM AI was so much more sophisticated this year. So I took the Pacers, and shopped Monta Ellis on day 1. I got offered Derrick Favors and Andre Drummond (with filler on both sides), amongst others. I tried increasing the 'trade negotiation difficulty' and it did nothing. Somehow Monta Ellis' star rating is roughly the same as those players, which is utterly absurd. A broken trade is one where you know one team would take it in a heartbeat and the other would never consider it in a million years. Makes me wonder if myLeague is even going to be playable if those sorts of trades are possible.
