NBA 2K16: Some Ideas On How to Improve the Series

12:04 PM - May 5, 2015 by RaychelSnr

NBA 2K15 was a good game. Very solid and still playable. In its first year operating with a full-year of a next-gen system, 2K delivered above expectations and provided glimmers of hope for what’s to come down the road.

That being said, it’s never too early to start looking at NBA 2K16.

Instead of having replays trigger automatically, have the ability to press a button (R3) to trigger manual replays after a play; whether it be a scoring play, foul, travel, whatever.

TNT presentation & music is a must for primetime games. Have the generic broadcast presentation as well for added variety, and make it similar to a fox sports regular season broadcast. Please let 2k16 be there year for TNT in 2k. Live uses ESPN, so this would be a great chance for 2k

Removing the terrible comeback coding that makes the game unplayable would be an amazing start.

Crew, bring Crew back. That is really it... Crew, not blacktop, not blacktop disguised as another mode, bring crew back.

They should make shot blocking easier for legitimate shot blockers. Ex: when playing a season or franchise anthony Davis should really be able to average around 2.5 blocks a season.
Make double teaming more effective, as of now when you double it does virtually nothing to make the offensive player take tougher shots or turn the ball over. Also make double teaming react quicker on defense.
Revamp rebounding. I've played with the heat before in a season and I don't see how it's possible for Chris bosh to avoid 13 rebounds a game when he only gets 7 on average.
When playing multiple seasons I don't see any changes in signature skills from season to season. Based on players performances from the previous season sig skills should evolve or diminish.
More turnovers not just based on steals, like the real nba. Most teams avg about 7 to 8 steals a game but the average turn over a team has is about 14.
Make hard fouls effect the stamina of the players being fouled more. That way the enforcer badge actually means something.
Make players like Dennis Rodman on the bulls actually be able to get 15 rebounds a game during a season.
Make the charge card sig skill actually mean something when players continually drive to the hole.
More flagrant fouls during season play with it having a good chance to injure players.
Add playoff mode and all star mode.

This has never been a feature in the game. Beluba (one of the devs) has to into these forums many a time and said that this so called comeback is NOT in the game.

Please bring back online associations. I can't believe how madden can have connected franchise mode and we basketball fans can't have an online association modes BRING THEM BACK!!!

Unless I'm missing something, his exact words were: "guys who have the ability to block shots at the rim."

This is my number 1 want.

NBA 2K16 needs:

- Revamped sounds fx. The arena sound has been going in and out for years.
- Better floor spacing
- A better TV broadcast interface( GUI)/Mode, for example TNT, ESPN, or NBA TV

i would love to play sixth man in whole of my mycareer that is what i want to do. sixth man of the year. being a starter and playing 45mpg is ridicilious. one more thing to add: stop that 4th quarter ridiciolussness like the opposing team hitting everything

Here is another idea.. The game comes out in October.. How about some new game play comments in Janruary with an update. So a game play in Janruary would get some added commentary during the game. That way the game stays fresh with commentary.

You know hard something like that would be? That requires trying to bring in someone for at least a couple of days or weeks. And the guys that they are using for commentary are working national games. And don't have that much time to spend to updating commentary in a video game.

come on, the priority is to fix the movement lag and input delay in all online modes!

I promise if 2k and EA could put there differences aside let 2k do the game development and use EA servers we would be golden
Wishful thinking

# 55 dante.holder @ 05/06/15 07:45 PM

Make the MyCareer cut scenes for last gen too.

FIFA 15 did it with the EPL, I'm a huge Real Madrid fan but both of my manager and player careers have been EPL because of the presentation package. NCAA basketball and football were great to get that saturday feel with the full ESPN feel. throw in when basketball had both the ESPN AND CBS packages and broadcast views. 2k has great flowing commentary but it doesn't feel like a single broadcast I've watched. it feels like it is trying to find a medium between a few different ones. out. same with Madden, especially since you have the known NFC vs AFC coverage, nothing breaks my "reality" like playing Cowboys vs Bears on a sunday and it is this sorta-CBS broadcast. I'd even take Nantz and Simms but with a "fake" Fox style broadcast overlay if Madden stil refuses to bring in another broadcast crew to compliment Nantz/Simms not replace them. why not have a "Fox" and "CBS" style overlay, have the silly Fox Robot doing the game intro for Cowboys vs Redskins rather than this current strange intro that tells me its going to be an exciting matchup between two TEs today! same for 2k, go TNT completely. get Chuck and Kenny, get the TNT overlays, get the whole NBA on TNT feel with pre-game, half-time, menu-"talking segments". that would bring it back to the real game feel.

Can't agree more!

I won't nitpick outside of that. Yes it's frustrating that could are called at random in the post... But with the lag and defensive sliding playing d online, in the park, or even offline, is extremely difficult.. It's not just hard to PLAY defense, but to even move where you want to move.. That, random fouls and online lag are by far the biggest problems... Crowd atmosphere is huge too. One category Live dod GREAT in this year. ( no live debates please)

That's the point! That's should be priority!

I would like to see longer defensive rebounds. for example, when a player shoots a 3 pointer, the odds are that the rebound will go further than just inside the paint

Great idea.
If there isn't a descent online league where my friends and I can play against each other as well as the cpu, I will not buy 2K16.

I'm not sure I understand the difference between 1 and 3. Anyways regarding 3, why would you want an option completely removed? That sounds horrible, like if they were to remove a bunch of camera options because some are easier than others.

If you dislike the feature because it can be used/exploited at will online (no idea if this is true, just guessing) then I think you should be suggesting change in that department, e.g. restrictions on settings changes or "house rules" that can be agreed upon. I remember a thread where someone wanted to see the "who to guard" arrow completely removed, this complaint sounds very similar to that one.
