I'm seeing way too many points in the paint, both from the User and the CPU. On the User side, the help defense just isn't strong enough, resulting in too many dunks and layups. As for the CPU, they keep trying to pass into the paint or drive, even when the pass isn't there or there's a defender in the way. It's a little annoying to see 50+ points in the paint being scored every game.

Gotta disagree with you here. 2K16 looks much more like a real basketball game than The Show does a real baseball game. This was not true years ago, but The Show has been stagnant moving into next gen.

I'm praying they have new hair updates in the first patch. I'm all about realism, and I need to see Jabari's new nappy fro in the game. Same with Michael Carter-Williams. John Henson too has a little longer hair.

But Basketball and Football still have always had that it's still a video game feel when it comes to their physics, speed etc. I look past that and enjoy the games for the AI, the strategy, and playing them as sim as I can.

Great point! I need to remeber to just have fun and enjoy what I like about games. Sometimes I cankinda pick them to pieces if not careful.

Also in all fairness to NBA 2K if the gave the players more weight and made the movement physics more realistic then most gamers would complain. Anytime a sports player has weighted movement the majority of gamers talk about it feeling like running in mud... 2K does a good balance of finding a middle ground where everyone can be happy.

Also, know I was not saying you were wrong praising the game. It is way impressive. The commentary makes me wonder why other sports games are so far behind in this area.

I wonder why guys aren't seeing cpu threes. Warriors and Clippers took over 20 against me. Houston shot over 15.

I agree there are too many Pips. There's good rotation in the perimeter but it seems to be slow when a guy reaches the paint. You don't see help defenders step in to take a charge, or help with hands up. Far too much one on one play in the paint.

And when you front a guy, no one rotates when the lob comes up top. Just daylight for the offensive player.

It gets abused by both sides of the ball, cpu or user.

There are good misses when contended. Love that. But not enough challenges when a simple rotation would resolve that.

It also seems that the corner three is dead again. It came back in 2k15 but passing to the corner on the drive is nonexistent. Disappointing.

Its odd. I was playing the Knicks, and Melo was launching three's left and right, plus they were running offball screens for Afflalo to catch and shoot threes on the wing/corner. All star sim.
Haven't seen drive and kicks to the corner though.

Can't really complain much. Everything else is so polished besides a few things that seems like it could be fixed in a title update, or even roster update if its tendencies. I'm really waiting to start a serious myLeague until Beds releases a roster or two. Plus, Czar's ACE updates. whenever they are ready.

Is there a way to contact them to let them know or put in a request

I think the lack of help D and lack of corner 3s are very closely connected.
