Lol @ the comments early in this thread.....2K16 was so under appreciated...all these games seem to be until years later for some reason.

I was still playing 2k16 over 2k17 and 2k18 until they turned the servers off so I would say yes its still the best this gen.

NBA 16 and 15 are probably my favorite 2K games (NEXT GEN). I still give my favorite to 2k11 and 12.

16 really felt very polished especially after the final patches. I still go back to it to get some quick games in. Still holds up great.

2K11, 2K15 and 2K18 are my all time favs.

I love 2K18 but 2K16 just had something about it's gameplay that's honestly hard to put into words, videos don't do the game feel justice. I remember being so invested in a deep MyLeague save with the Kings that I had to delete the game off my hard drive if I ever actually wanted to seriously play 2K17 (not a day goes by that I don't regret doing that lol)

2K16 still has the smoothest and best-controlling dribbling system, with no automated hand-switching animations, no awkward transitions between walking/running, and no weird input delay or misregistered inputs interrupting your dribble combos like in 2K18.

2K16 after the breakstarter patch is the most balanced and realistic version of Pro Am that 2K has come up with so far. I'd even take 2K16 Pro Am over this year's draft combine build, because contact layups weren't as easy to force in back then, and the two-man contact dunk canimations weren't part of the game yet.

2K16 MyTeam was the last year before the controversial 5-out freelance offense was added to the game, and the last year before player ratings would become so inflated that all 13 cards in people's lineup had 90+ dunk and 90+ three-point ratings (including big men from the 1980s and 1990s who rarely shot threes in real life).
