I don't know man... The negatives seem pretty few and far between. I think the term "universal praise" is pretty accurate here.

Im finally able to shoot with Eric Gordon and Al Horford again, two of my favorite players to use in 2K and because of their shot in the last few years I haven't been able to be effective with them since like 2K11. Now im back to blazing threes with Eric Gordon and mid range jumpers with Horford.

It seems more to have to do with the change in controls and the fact they can't play the game well. Or because they don't like the Spike Lee story and the fact that there character is white and there sister is black. It has nothing to do with the amazing gameplay, graphics, or features this game provides. I can almost guarantee those vocal few in a couple of weeks when they have a better grasp of the controls will be here heaping praise on this game and saying how wrong they were. NBA 2K16 should be judged the same way Leftos Mike Stauffer has created the rating system this year on an All-Time great basis and if judged that way NBA 2K16 is a perfect 10 and not only the greatest basketball game ever made but the greatest sports game ever made based on it complete package from A-Z.

to say there is hardly any still admits there is
and it is extreme enough in some comments
to say they are disgusted with this version.
but i have to admit your assessment is most
likely correct that attitudes will change soon
once people adjust to the gameplay changes.

you're generally correct,
i guess every year people
will try to find a reason to
pick it apart and hate 2k

Try turning up the CPU blocking foul slider if you haven't. I jacked it up a good amount and I'm seeing a lot more realistic blocking foul calls on the computer when I'm bumped

Has anyone noticed that there are almost no swishes anymore? I played a 12 minute first quarter last night and there was one swish.

I need to chime in again: does anyone know if the game has been patched?

I knocked the game up to Pro just to check out the damage, and it played beautifully! The CPU started missing MORE shots(!?), and the shots they made were shots that SHOULD go in. It may seem counter-intuitive, but by the looks of it they scored more when I was subbed out and less when I was on the court. They even set a record low FT% - 73. So maybe the "bench cheese" will overtake the "shot cheese" as the difficulty level rises - I can live with that. And I actually set a personal high in offensive rebounds, for both 2K16 AND 2K15!

Given, I played to kill and not to play fun basketball-ish (and totally blew them off the court), and it was only one game, but I haven't seen the CPU miss this much in almost 30 games on rookie (not counting the hs/college/1st season games and yes I have only played on rookie so far to get the hang of the new controls and so and such). They even missed a dunk, which I haven't seen so far in 2K16! I still miss a little too much for my liking, but as long as the CPU does it as well it's all good.

The CPU still gets too many loose balls and my defense is still too dumb, and it's still too frenetic, but the game played so obviously differently that it cannot be due to the level alone. I have set the game to autoupdate, so I don't know if any patch has been applied?

I took notice to this too, until I also noticed that the players that were providing swishes where guys that really know how to shoot the ball then I wasn't to mad about it, but I think its the new ball rim mechanics they added this year too that has slowed down swishes.
