NBA 2K16 Hands-On Preview

11:11 AM - September 11, 2015 by Steve_OS

Wow.

That three-letter word sums up my quick trip to the 2K Hangar to get my hands on NBA 2K16.

Before I get into the nitty-gritty, this article will strictly be about on-court gameplay. MyCAREER information will be coming out on Monday, and you’ll find it here on Operation Sports. Also on Monday you will see some gameplay footage (at last!) from some of your favorite NBA teams.

Okay with that information out of the way, let's play basketball.

Good read, thought gameplay clips where due today though...

Game sounds amazing love that each team has its individual feel to them, one question I have is did you ever see Tony Allen guarding KD man to man or was it mostly a team effort in stopping KD.

Another needed read in order to hold me over until Monday D:

Quick question I thought of when reading about Korver and off-ball screens...

Last year, the catch and shoot game was very inconsistent. Most of the time shooters would set their feet after they caught the ball which resulted in a delay allowing the defender to warp over and contest the shot. This was even more apparent when players were coming off screens.

Good shooters in the NBA set their feet prior to catching the ball to allow for a quick trigger. So my question is, how does it feel this year? Are players coming off screens anticipating the pass so we are able to get shots off quicker?

Thanks for the great impressions. What do you think is more important? Playing the chess game and strategy or stick skills?

Great preview. I can't wait to see some gameplay on Monday. The only thing that was a little disappointing is that the halftime show is not that good. What did you not like about the halftime show? I'm not sure you can answer this but will ask just in case you can. What did you think of the ticker?

# 17 nox @ 09/11/15 11:34 AM

what a way to start the weekend, monday will be here in no time after this, **** I'm hyped!

• Zig-zag/base-line cheese looks like it’s gone

# 19 Vni @ 09/11/15 11:36 AM

Any improvement in the audio department?

And what does this mean :

Questions regarding sound, how was the crowd response, did they get akwardly quite at the wrong times, sit down during close games.

does Greg Anthony work well complimenting the rest of the team.

Are rim sounds improved are net sounds improved

Thx.
