Also wish MyPlayer was better attribute wise when entering his rookie season. Was unrealistic that my player came off the bench after being draft #7 overall and only played 10 mins a game. The characters in the story were interesting but of course it was disappointing that the story was not long enough to actually get emotionally invested in them. Totally understandable because this isn't a movie but a game. A lot of things were left questioning such as, who was CeCe and her background outside of Freq's life. Also, the owner. Would have liked to see some actual NBA players in the story itself. Overall it was entertaining and a good Segway to starting your MyCareer. The one thing I would change besides the length of HS and College play and low attributes for MyPlayer was that our character Freq would have to make some decisions that would dictate his path. Those decisions would affect the story and lead you down another road. Like, if we wanted to drop Vic as a friend that would take you to another section of the story. Well done NBA2K16 crew and, in my opinion, this is the best version yet.

Probably should have spoiler tagged that.

During practice go into gameplay settings and turn up the volume on 2k beats in game.

[ehh]

Continuing on the RealFG% issue...just shot 16/22 FT with the Knicks and there wasn't a single swish.

Finished up the Pacers game I was mentioning above, they shot 70% from the field (George was 8/8) in the 4th and outscored me 35-26 to win by ten. Never change, 2K.

wow.
i asked multiple times on twitter
and thought 2k ignored my tweets
but they made record breaking matter
and now after i broke the 3pt record
(MyCareer; multi tries; Superstar)
it actually gave recognition & +25,000 fan bonus.
i wondered why include records if they
didn't mean much but 2k made it matter.
i'm going for the assists & steals records next.

The difficulty is brutal this year, I'm struggling to do anything on All-Star. I feel like I need to learn to play the game all over again, which is a good thing, seeing as though the AI in 2K15 was getting a bit dull.

The adjustments the CPU makes is amazing.

Perfect? No, but so awesome to see.

I can't put this game down. I don't wanna spoil anything, but I was the Bulls, and they did this crazy pre game intro, Last time I got chills playing a video game, was when Jordan led me through the tunnel in 2k11.

On to the game, I was the Bulls, (friend was the Heat) I got Rose going early slicing and dicing the Miami D with tough layups and attacking the rim, looked like Prime Rose out there. PNR was beautiful, Rose would stutter step and then just accelerate around Noah and pull up for a leaning J, all of it just flowed so beautifully and felt good.

I suffocated Wade with Butler, and Miami had to find other ways to score, and other then Bosh, I shut them down. Really felt like Chicago's grind it out Defense. Offensively, this was my best game, I didnt make many mistakes, and I never once pressed triangle to post up (lol bad habits can be broken.)

Jimmy Buckets was getting his too, knocking down a few threes, and one nasty slam on Bosh. It just feels right.

At halftime I saw the recap of all the action from the first and second quarter. Now it doesn't happen every game for me, but I thought they did that on purpose. The box score highlights I have no idea about but you guys aren't seeing any of that stuff?

I know what your talking about with the box scores, I think. You talking bout, where you could press square and see individual highlights, yea I don't think they put that in this year, or its a bug on ps4 l, I remember that in 2k15.

Like I once saw an camera angle that was blocked because a player was standing in the way. I've others where the camera jumps back and forth between the player that passed the ball and the player catching it.

Halftime and postgame player of the game highlights along with individual player highlights are working properly on the XB1 for any minutes played per quarter. They are also working on the PS4 if games are played on 8 minute quarters or less. There is one individual that made a post about neither highlight packages working on his XB1; he tried turning his game and system off as advised, but that didn't fix it.

Post game (player of the game) highlights are not working on the PS4 if games are played at 9, 10, 11, 12 minutes (anything above 8 minutes). Something about the PS4 cache, not enough memory or something. Some people are also possibly saying the PS4 share function may be the culprit. The theory is if the PS4 allows one to turn off the share function feature completely, both halftime and postgame highlights would always work.

Halftime and postgame highlights were intended to always work for both systems (XB1 and PS4). Some people are blaming Sony, others are blaming 2k. Highlights are not suppose to be random occurrences. It also comes down to the amount of games being played due to the cache. The more games are played without turning off the game completely, sooner or later, even the halftime highlights will also not show up.

The workaround to "guarantee" postgame 12 minute quarter highlights is to 'save and exit' the game at the beginning of the third quarter (you must wait until the ball is inbounded). This workaround only works for MyLeague and MyGm and possibly other My-- modes, as long as you are able to save and exit at the start of the 3rd quarter. Close out the game completely, then fire the game back up and resume play from the save file beginning in the 3rd quarter. It will not work for Play Now quick games because these games do not have a "save" function.

This unfortunately wipes out all first half highlights. Say, if you scored 35 points in the first half with Steph Curry and 2 points in the second half, and immediately bench him for the remainder of the game, and he is the player of the game. Following the workaround, the player of the game highlights will only show different camera angle of the 2 points Curry made in the second half (first half highlights are completely wiped). The same goes with the Boxed score individual highlights -- Curry would maybe get 2 seconds of highlight and then completely go blank.
