NBA 2K16 Is the King, Has Only Gotten Better

So close, but now for me it is more fun than frustrating, when the opposite was true before.

Also, the one where CPU controlled bigs in the paint would just wonder out of bounds leaving a wide open lane for their man to score. I turned both "contest shot" and defensive awareness up to 70 and so far it seems to have alleviated these problems.

I haven't been seeing this one as much after the patch, but I'll sure this will tighten things up even more.

I HAVE to ask this question... i HAD 2k16 and sold it. Has ANYONE "played" this game offline? Reason I ask is because I have no high speed Internet in my area and I had to sell the game because the game is almost unplayable offline. The ONLY mode you can play offline is play now. Everything else is blacked out or says limited. The game doesn't save your my player creation that you make in the beginning of the game and forces you to remake him everytime you boot up the game... it doesn't save your sliders... it doesn't save your career or dynasty/franchise. I tried to enjoy it for what it was but I wasn't ALLOWED to. I let all that slide until it didn't even let me save something you've been able to save in every past game (season)! That was a deal breaker. The game is not perfect as some say. There is extreme buyer beware with this game and I bought it not knowing this because NO ONE mentions these flaws! No one said that online is pretty much required. Without online the game is just a demo and only about %25 of a game.

Yes! The things that stands out are style things. The interviews after the first quarter, inside the nba crew, photo bombing etc... but there are too many technical flaws... the presentation in 2k is NUTS though! I give them that!

I'm strictly an offline gamer and I have been having a ball this year. MyLeague works fine for me, even then the 2K servers are down. If you don't have any high speed internet then you can just enjoy the game for what it is out of the box which is awesome. Some people might actually prefer it that way, again. I have been playing MyCareer (just for the college basketball part) and I have online and offline saves with the different schools because I started a few of them when the servers were down. I didn't have to recreate anything. Just pick up where I left off...

It's the only game I play 95% of the time.

this entire thread makes me want to vomit. 2K is NOT the best sports game in the last decade. it's riddled with bugs. it's online game-play is always lagged and exploited. they fail to update their rosters with any regularity. i mean i could literally go on and on. and thats not even touching gameplay yet.
