Did the patch request thread get deleted? I can't find it. Didn't really want to post again in here, but no choice I guess. Trying not to repeat myself here, and I'm still having a ton of fun with the game, but I really think the defense adjustments and improvements are being overstated a bit. I've had a couple huge games with Harden and Howard, and wasn't seeing any doubles on either or even digs on Howard. Mismatches are still not recognized enough as well, for example just had Bellinelli in the post defending Motiejunas, no help was sent. This should be automatic that they tried to help off b/c it's a big mismatch and resulted in an easy bucket.

Again, there have been huge strides made in a lot of places and it's a really excellent game. Just wish the AI opponent defense as a whole was a little more responsive/realistic, would really make it complete.

This kind of thing happens to me at least 3 or 4 times a game.



What are Kobe and Clarkson, and to a certain extent Bass too, doing here? It's ridiculous.

I have my thoughts on the face scan technology this year that i already spoke on. But would it hurt for a man to be able to face scan o er these horrible caveman looking players that we have to deal with AGAIN this year. This, like many other questions will more than likely be thrown in the archives. Not only that, i cant access tattoos without the game malfunctioning and all of a sudden turning off.

2k are professional question dodgers.

same problem as every year - the number of FG's is way above the average you'll see in the NBA!!! i hope sliders or patch can solve this.

The problems of having a slow center. Seems like what happens to me. Is that there should of been switch. But because you turned into Kobe and brought he up court. MKG was wide open for the dunk. I'm going to say it's the users fault right here. Just my opinion. I've had it happen to me a few times.

I've had that happen a few times a game and I'm like, hey, that shouldn't have happened. I'm not so sure it's a user error if it's occurring that way throughout the game.

My .02 cents

this is a great game so far. a great foundation for years to come for 2k. a few issues i have is in transition defense when coming off of offense as the human player vs. cpu. sometimes the a few defenders get caught in no mans land leaving the cpu free for layups or dunks.

the arrow pointing you to the defender goes a little haywire and the cpu controlled defender runs back and fourth seemingly between 2 defensive scenarios and you get burned for a layup or dunk

in 2k15, when you got near a man on defense, your defensive teammate would almost immediately rotate and pick up the open man. in 2k16 this doesnt happen as fast as it should. if there is a good spot on defense where the players can switch back on to the man they're supposed to guard, this should happen fast.

i think ACE defense is great and it can be adjusted based on the level you play at...pro, all star etc. but, if i am lebron james and i am being picked up by james harden, i fully expect to be able to get by him at a high percentage. there were too many times where i was kyrie irving, stephen curry and had a matchup with a poor defender or a big and he was able to defend me successfully. good cpu defense with ACE should be more strategic and less lockdown with poor on ball defenders.


there were also several times when i grabbed a rebound, passed it to the SF and he inexplicably heaves a full court shot. all this happens well after my fingers are off the button. this has happened once a game for me.

and the game atmosphere minus pre-game still sucks. seems like this is the easiest thing to get right with crowd sounds and game like atmosphere. seems like they put more time in trying to make the crowd follow the ball and no time into replicating game time arena atmosphere.

i wouldnt even be so hard on 2k if this hadnt been done well before. but there was an EA offering in 2010 or 11. where they got it spot on. the arena atmosphere itself made me want to play the game.

It's a lovely thing!! I use to be a HOF guy. But I'm now playing on Pro lol. Big difference in 2 years.

I just love when playing the bulls they ICE me all the time.

I've watched it a few times. It's definitely because he switches and Roy is too slow.
