How do you change your jersey #, I got traded to the Pistons and Josh Smith has #6, and they gave me #17, I don't want #17!!!

My impressions (quick review style) of the Xbox One version.

Gameplay: 9
Compared with current gen it is as balanced and even improved with more fluidity and human-like animations, if you adjust sliders you definitely will get a great sim experience.

Graphics: 9
Just beautiful, yes definitely next gen is here and 1080p and 60 fps do the rest.

Game Modes: 5
Very improved MyCareer and MyTeam and an interesting new MyGM, but they stripped too many modes from current gen.

Online: 3
Atrocious, It is a mess. I hope they will start using Microsoft Free Dedicated Servers soon, input lag make it unplayable. On the other hand, Online Leagues almost without customization… are you serious? really?

Customization: 4
Supposedly you can use custom rosters but, other than that, they removed many options which are basic for us, hardcore 2k gamers…

Overall: 7
This game could have been a masterpiece, but it lacks a lot in some basic aspects as online and customization. It has a lot of problems also, so right now we can say that they released just a beta of the game, therefore I hope some patches will be issued to improve features and correct the main bulk of current bugs.

Cheers! ;-)

Online always been a 2k staple. Of being bad

I'm shocked that the game looks like the E3 trailer. A lot of other companies release these impressive CGI trailers at E3 and then the game looks nothing like it. 2ks game is as good as advertised.

Yup. For sure

Overall, the game looks and plays amazing but the features are less than what we expected. The really didn't fix anything, they just changed to the name of the features or took them away.

I just don't understand why they FORCED us to save everything important (rosters) to their servers when they have a track record of ongoing issues.

Kind of a small issue, but why does LeBron fade away on every single jumper? In real life when he spots up he goes straight up and straight down. He doesn't shoot every single jumper as a fadeaway.

am i crazy or is CG gameplay/game package superior to next gen? at least thats my initial impressions

the defenders on this game switches everything even on the simplest picks, every time the opposing team brings the ball up the court, ur team cant even check their man it's ridiculous, they get lost so bad on the simplest flare screens picks etc..., and help defense logic is frustrating

spacing is off because of the passing delay, and the jumpshots do not feel good, it's like theres a delay and theres an annoying feeling at the peak of your shot, dont feel smooth at all

dont even start at 2k taking out the defensive options

what happened to playcalling? quick iso, quick post up, why do i have to press two commands to call a quick play and add the menu lag and its even worse

and how do you stay in front of your man? if you move your left stick a little bit your player barely moves but move it just a little bit more your guy slides all over the court it's hard to stay in front of your man even on simple hesitations, so far tried experimenting defensive assist level and it's not helping

i have to play this game more to see if it gets better but right now my initial impressions arent very good

right now my player is saving this game for me imo

There's a MyGm mode, that doubles as Franchise Mode.

I think everything is fantastic except for not being able to have more than one user controlled team in the MyGM/season mode, it's pretty annoying hope they bring it back

Practice. Keep playing. I was all over the place in the beginning to but in time you start figuring it out.

Am I missing something or do we really not get updated rosters for NBA Today?

Feature is broken if it's just the matchups. It needs updated ratings and rosters. Disappointing.

Agreed. The lack of an update period is discouraging right now. It's been a week & a half, outdated rosters.

The Kings need their floor updated too. Hopefully the first "release" will fix a lot of this stuff.

C'mon 2k, make it happen.

Hopefully they can squeeze in a little fix for the Raptors jersey's as well.

Man this game is complete trash online, played my first game and controlling the players feels like controlling tanks. I was paired up with a trash talking kid from US when I'm from Europe...the lag was so bed it was just completely random to put a free throw in and at times I would even get out of bounds because how bad the players controlled. It seemed my adversary had none of those issues so I'm wondering if there's a host type of thing? So much for dedicated servers for Xbox one games yeah.

Will definitely stay away from online if every game is of this quality, I mean there are so few options to get a good online gameplay experience. Sigh...

I just don't understand how they can be so good at everything and be so horrible at updating content during the season.

It's year after year with this nonsense.

I've been a 2K fan from way back and this year's NG addition has definitely raised the bar. However...

2K deeply disappoints when it comes to fulfilling the promise of timely updates to the roster. The stellar level of game play leaves me feeling like I just scored with the finest woman on the planet only to find that she is superficial, prone to lying AND promiscuous!

The fact that many features did not port to the NG systems is disappointing, but understandable considering 2K essentially produced two games in one cycle... but it is inexcuseable that rosters are weeks behind what is current in the NBA.

This game (for it's playability) could easily warrant a 9.0 rating... but when you consider all of the other issues; lack of updates, poor menu structure, the removal of many key elements and (from what I'm told) online play, it falls into the 7.5 to 7.0 category.

Yes you're good, but you're not all that!
Beauty is only skin-deep.

I Love the game this year! Gameplay is so good except for 2 issues I have:

- sometimes there is an akward transition to your jump shot which just doesnt feel right
- catching the pass animations when players are on the move must be speed up ! it takes literally a second to receive a pass while moving - hate it!
