Notes

• NBA 2K16's Play Now leaderboards will reward users who don't always pick the most talented teams. Previously, the leaderboards were mostly just determined by total wins and total losses.
  
  
• NBA 2K16's online servers will be turned on "late tomorrow."
  
  
• The "Momentous" trailer will be officially released tomorrow afternoon.

My Career

• All existing NBA 2K16 My Career save files will be deleted from the 2K servers sometime tomorrow.
  
  
• My Career will once again have unlockable endorsements from actual companies like Kia and Gatorade.

Gameplay

• You can now select which side of the on-ball defender's body your screener will come to.
  
  
• The ball handler will have access to four signature dribbles by holding down the R2 button.
  
  
• Prerecorded player interviews will occasionally be shown during stoppages in play.
  
  
• There are new shooting follow-through animations that give you natural visual feedback on whether or not you're taking good/bad shots, which is helpful if you like to have the shot meter disabled.
  
  
• The new defensive meter will light up whenever you are in a good position to contest a shot.
  
  
• Manual instant replays now have several new options that are designed to help NBA 2K's video editing community.

That kobe side hop....

That halftime show STILL sounds like they're talking in bits and pieces, sloppily sticking them together.

It's 2015.

(But when THIS is the only thing I can complain about...feels good, man.)

I don't understand why 2k doesn't want to change the control schemes when a dev and a affiliate both having issues with it.

Seperate shooting and driving on the buttons.

Happens so often to me to. Really annoying.
Live has this down imo. We can pass the ball 5 diffrent ways yet we can't determine wheather to drive or shoot.

Isn't Live pretty much the same control wise? One button to shoot the other is for hop/euro step. I'm pretty sure Live ditched the speerage shoot and layup buttons awhile back.

Make free throws then,lol. Absolutely nothing wrong with what he did.

Watch the last couple minutes of this, same thing. It's a strategy.
