NBA 2K16 News Post


NBA 2K16
will be the third basketball title released by 2K Sports on this generation of consoles. The developers will be looking to improve and stabilize this series, and there is no doubt that the hype for NBA 2K16 is very high. With news continuing to release about new modes, improved gameplay, and enhanced visuals, 2K is continuing to boost the hype as we move towards a late-September release. That being said, let's take a look at what I think are the five keys that will ensure NBA 2K16 is a success this season.

2K doesn't have a halftime show now either. So there's actually a TON currently missing in 2K presentation that were in previous 2K games (and in the Live games for that matter, though I think it's kind of awkwardly done there as the talent there don't seem to be able to voice the game like it was a live broadcast for some reason).

Complaining about things is all good and expected. But do you really have to lie to make your point? Where is there any claim to "fix" zig zag? They made it less effective by punishing the shot. Was it enough, maybe not. But I don't think anyone ever claimed it was straight "fixed". Considering I see dude defend it just fine and those shots clanging much more than they did before that change, I think people make more of a big deal out of it than it warrants. It's the popular rant for this year I guess.

There's still the behind the back/step back easy perfect release glitch/thingy going on though.

Of the 5 things listed, the only one I care about at all is gameplay. Lol! Call me old fashioned, but I only play offline franchise in sports games, so I have zero interest in the other 4.

Online players have ruined the game.

What makes you say that? I'm strictly an offline player, and I don't feel that way. Online players didn't ask for VC, and always needing a connection to the servers either.

I've been asking and waiting for years for an improved halftime show and end of the game show and a weekly wrap up show for My League/season play. It honestly seem like to me the halftime show has gotten less attention the past few years. I remember when the halftime show use to show more highlights, more stats from the current game and more stats/scores from other games going on around the league during NBA Today games. I'm really hoping for 2K16 that the devs take a step back in the right direction with this. Ever since the early 2K basketball games one thing that 2K sports always could hang there hat on was presentation, but for example if I compared 2Kbasketball halftime show vs EA Madden Halftime show the past couple of years, I never thought I would say Madden's halftime show is better ....but that is the case now. I know this is just one aspect of presentation but I feel like stuff like improved replays,cameras, halftime show, end of the game show should be a key to NBA2K16's success.

Can we get the post game highlights fixed, for the love of God? 2 years of this BS already.

This. That really is ridiculous to me. I wonder why is it such a difficult problem to solve.

Show me the feet lol. All roads lead to how players move on the court. Footplanting ect have been sub-standard so far, we'll see what they have to offer with the trailer Mon

People have rose tinted glasses about NFL2K5 presentation.. it was just a bunch of canned highlights you could barely see the guys.. in NBA and the current generation you'd have to have all the guys different heads and high rez jerseys and arenas.. of all the teams you're showing.. hard to do that sort of wrap-up + highlights without loading in between them all.

Yea its about time for them to step their game up menu looks the same in gamescom video Im cool with the layout but spice it up a bit if your gonna be authentic you have to have a real true to life presentation,they have good graphics even though they need to change the texture of the jerseys,they have the best sim game around minus the cheese,hacks and legacy issues (SERVERS)but thats another story but it seems like 2k is so close to being perfect Im starting to think they are holding back just to have something to talk about next game idk but what do y'all think

No they don't. That game as a total package was and is the bar that current sports games have yet to reach. Yeah, a lot of the highlights were the same and this was before the HD era and face scans, but what they accomplished on those consoles shows that it can be done now. We've had basketball and football games keep highlights from the game you've just played in the HD era, College Hoops had a recap show in the HD era, etc. Madden/Fifa had stadium flyovers coming into games a few years back.

Hell, even not using NFL 2k5 as the bar, the old NBA 2k's had a recap show. There weren't highlights or a in studio broadcast but it was there. They had a halftime show with highlights back then as well. They also had cutscenes of fans coming into the arena, leaving after loosing, buying concessions, and famous landmarks from the city you were playing in (I remember the Hollywood sign and Liberty Bell off the top of my head).

And I think people take the current state of things for granted. The ideas and concepts were realized to such a high level in that game, it's hard to argue that it doesn't still compare to today's presentation packages. I'll just leave it there as to not derail the discussion any further.

Not much mentioned for us MyGM (offline) players.

My league online is 1 of my biggest concerns. How is this mode made out to be played online? Been waiting a while for 2k to fix this mode. Wish they would talk about it already. Servers prolly will always be 2k's downfall. And fixing rebounding, interior play on offense /defense as well. Calm down on animations. And fix the passing as well.

2k also needs to fix some of their badges. Example deadeye should only be activated when a person is on fire on jumpshots. A person shouldn't just have deadeye out of the gate it'll be way better if it activate only when you're on fire on jumpers. Kinda similar to klay 37 point quarter deadeye should activate during a run like that. Doesnt have ro 37 pts of course but maybe at least 8-10 points on jumpers.
 
# 37 Crea8vity @ 08/09/15 12:36 AM
I think they're doing an amazing job and great improvement on presentation/graphics.... But I'm still somewhat worried about animations, cheese, and just gameplay overall and how well it flows

lol every year...
