So, I went to play the 3PT shootout... And Steve Kerr is still the commentator.

I'll pretend he had the free time, so he decided to pop back into the booth for a bit.

Best first experience I have with a new 2k game EVER! WOW 2k really nailed it this year.
I love how if your are on a comeback and you connect with an alley oop, the camera pans waaaay back so that you see the whole crowd cheering!
And How near the end of the game I had free throws with Lebron the whole crowd stood up and started chanting MVP MVP MVP!!
MAN I LOVE THIS GAME!

Went ahead and picked up the game. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I'm so unbelievably ecstatic about the addition of RANKED play now matches.

I feel like YELLING!

For the last 10 years, I've been so disappointed in the lack of ranking or meaning in play now online games, and FINALLY, FIIIIINALLY, we get it back! Now, I know there's no individual leaderboards (or, if there is, please direct me), but this is the first semblance of any ranked online games (not counting My Player/Career or any of the other bells and whistles) since NBA 2K6 (?) had leaderboards and lobbies, I believe? Or 2K5. But I'm thinking 2K6.

Anyhow, I love how the '04-'05 Suns actually play like the '04-'05 Suns! Nash to Stoudemire was a beautiful 1-2 punch in the game I played vs. them.

It's a shame 2K couldn't get Rasheed Wallace on board. It's awkward seeing Darko in his place in that otherwise awesome '03-'04 Pistons starting five.

this just happened for my CAP;
it was already nice to hear it
but to see the standing cheer
just meant so much more.

Love the game. Just wish they could fix the following issues. Still can't hit open shots... well I do but the obvious ones miss quite a bit. Anybody else have this problem?

Anybody know when a patch is coming?

My issues:

Defense is overpowered. Players like Jamal Crawford, Lou Wiliams, Ramon Sessions and pretty much every single player can deny ball handlers. KD and LBJ can't even get passed even if they hit a crossover... the defense magically denies each and every time.

Substitution. Very time consuming. Don't fix what's not broken. Takes your eyes off the game. Even though i'm getting used to it now, it's much more faster and efficient with 2k14 and 15's sub controls and menu.

PlayNowOnline. You can't see what team your opponent is choosing. Not bc i want to have some advantage, but if you choose the same team as your opponent, you can't exit out of it. You're forced to play them. So what I do is just restart the console. smh.

Also, you end up playing someone who uses the same colored jersey as you. Very frustrating.

Camera. Camara will suddenly go back to broadcast view when you already set it to 2k.

Just a few issues that I want addressed. Hopefully it does. I love the game though. If i could give it a rating, I would give a solid 9.3 out of 10. Last years for me was a good 9 out of 10.

Winning the NC should at least feel like an accomplishment. I know it is a small part but if a developer is going to include it at least keep it immersive.

I thought the same thing Eski. Given the in game court editor they have I would think they would have taken the time to create a court for that specific purpose..They crammed so much content in this game they had to cut corners somewhere..

Didn't like the game at first, was upset about perimeter defense and felt like the jump shot game was ruined. However, now that I'm past the learning curve everything is flowing beautifully. Best gameplay ever in a basketball game. The graphics took a significant leap as well.

Shooting is very difficult still. Anybody rising up the league ranks? I'm in College league. Pretty difficult. Love how the competition is the same as your skill.
