you might be right. Ive watched videos etc, and defense still breaks down consistently. especially the transition defense. if you can point me to some videos or tutorials on how to play defense. Id appreciate it.

I hate being hard on 2k. cause Im such a 2k fanboy.

I don't like the gameplay of NBA 2K16, the shot stick control is 100 times worse than NBA 2K14 era. It's unresponsive, inaccurate and often does things that you don't want to see.

That comment right there! This is why I can't take 2k16 praise seriously! The game is overrated. Haven't played it online because I can't yet. But that's how I know noone has seriously played this game offline yet and reviewed it. I had to sale the game because unlike nba live 16 (which I bought after selling 2k16) the game borders on unplayable offline! The retail case needs a buyer beware warning saying ONLINE REQUIRED! The game literally doesn't save ANYTHING if you play offline! It's a glorified demo and everything is either limited or locked! The only thing available to play if you're offline is play now or blacktop. NO REVIEWS MENTION THIS! So misleading and dishonest. I may not ever buy another 2k again.

Even the game menus are confusing. I buy into the hype about every other year and pick the game up and every other year I play it a handful of times (maybe a half dozen 10-15 minutes play sessions) and never touch it again. I usually play the cpu and turn the game off before the first game is over...I let it sit then come back to it a couple weeks later and do the same thing over again. It could be that I just don't have the patience to learn the complex control scheme but it seems to me much of this game could be way more intuitive. And I'm talking everything from performing moves on the court to making substitutions in game.

I played three games of it before I decided to return it. I was only into the presentation.

You have to let the game download and install first. All modes are available to you after that is complete, not sure what was going on with your copy.

I prefer 2K15 to 16, but 16 is still very good. I thought Madden deserved a spot in the Top 3.

the game is pretty and the presentation is top notch.
but again that defense.
I dont care what anyone says the defense does not work as intended........Ive watched tutorials, made adjustments. again, it doesnt work as intended.
Ive never rage quit this much in a 2k game. its Madden like

I think 2k16 is better than the previous 4 installments but I get the complaints in the above posts. For the life of me I don't understand why 2K insists on making things that should be simple (play calling, and substitutions) more difficult. It's like they don't want you to touch the subs, just leave it on auto and let the cpu do everything for you. The game is much better online but it still isn't what I would call "stable." I will add that All-Star Team Up is my S%#&. Surprisingly, I have noticed less lag and fast-forwarding (Benny Hill S#$!) in team up than I have in online player vs player.
