I have my thoughts on the face scan technology this year that i already spoke on. But would it hurt for a man to be able to face scan o er these horrible caveman looking players that we have to deal with AGAIN this year. This, like many other questions will more than likely be thrown in the archives. Not only that, i cant access tattoos without the game malfunctioning and all of a sudden turning off.

2k are professional question dodgers.

same problem as every year - the number of FG's is way above the average you'll see in the NBA!!! i hope sliders or patch can solve this.

The problems of having a slow center. Seems like what happens to me. Is that there should of been switch. But because you turned into Kobe and brought he up court. MKG was wide open for the dunk. I'm going to say it's the users fault right here. Just my opinion. I've had it happen to me a few times.

I've had that happen a few times a game and I'm like, hey, that shouldn't have happened. I'm not so sure it's a user error if it's occurring that way throughout the game.

My .02 cents

this is a great game so far. a great foundation for years to come for 2k. a few issues i have is in transition defense when coming off of offense as the human player vs. cpu. sometimes the a few defenders get caught in no mans land leaving the cpu free for layups or dunks.

the arrow pointing you to the defender goes a little haywire and the cpu controlled defender runs back and fourth seemingly between 2 defensive scenarios and you get burned for a layup or dunk

in 2k15, when you got near a man on defense, your defensive teammate would almost immediately rotate and pick up the open man. in 2k16 this doesnt happen as fast as it should. if there is a good spot on defense where the players can switch back on to the man they're supposed to guard, this should happen fast.

i think ACE defense is great and it can be adjusted based on the level you play at...pro, all star etc. but, if i am lebron james and i am being picked up by james harden, i fully expect to be able to get by him at a high percentage. there were too many times where i was kyrie irving, stephen curry and had a matchup with a poor defender or a big and he was able to defend me successfully. good cpu defense with ACE should be more strategic and less lockdown with poor on ball defenders.

there were also several times when i grabbed a rebound, passed it to the SF and he inexplicably heaves a full court shot. all this happens well after my fingers are off the button. this has happened once a game for me.

and the game atmosphere minus pre-game still sucks. seems like this is the easiest thing to get right with crowd sounds and game like atmosphere. seems like they put more time in trying to make the crowd follow the ball and no time into replicating game time arena atmosphere.

i wouldnt even be so hard on 2k if this hadnt been done well before. but there was an EA offering in 2010 or 11. where they got it spot on. the arena atmosphere itself made me want to play the game.

It's a lovely thing!! I use to be a HOF guy. But I'm now playing on Pro lol. Big difference in 2 years.

I just love when playing the bulls they ICE me all the time.

I've watched it a few times. It's definitely because he switches and Roy is too slow.

After the dunk by Hibbert, when Walker has the ball, notice the "who to guard" arrow, it goes from Hibbert to Huertas. So the CPU is controlling Kobe and Jordan all that time. I don't switch to Kobe until the ball is almost to Kidd-Gilchrist. I make a ton of User error plays a game, this isn't one of them.

If you want to say that I should automatically switch to the last man back and stand under the rim, then OK, but I think it's reasonable for me to expect those two guards to not let a player walk to the front of the rim unimpeded.

# 708 The 24th Letter @ 10/01/15 09:21 AM

I was already getting a pretty good grasp on dribbling, but changing the stick controls to absolute made me that much better...doing some nasty stuff now..

BTW, I HATE James Harden in this game...dude is just too good. CPU hit me with a nasty step back in my last game.

i was about to create a list of the most
common complaints hoping that maybe
someone in touch with 2k saw it and even
passed the notes along, but after reading
all the comments (i literally read them all)
i realized most other players answer these
issues with reasonable solutions, so maybe
it's just that people want 2k to reply because
some don't respect it coming from other players
while those who do, find the answers they need.
there are actual tweaks needed by 2k but mostly
issues can be fixed by sliders or correcting alot
of user errors and breaking our 2k15 bad habits.

2K still hasn't gotten ICE'ing down yet, I destroy the CPU every time they implement it against me. And that's saying something because trust me, I suck at the PnR in this game.

One game is not the same from the next match up. This game isnt perfect but it's about as close to it as you can get on the sports game

Yea I've notice that my last 2-3 games have been blowouts to start the game. And then the CPU mounts a come back on me. And then I control things. And then get back up by a few. And then they close the lead in the 4. But I'll keep playing to see my results. I might need to go up one level.

It's not that it's hard to hurt the ICE tactic. It's the fact that the Bulls consistently forced me into the corner. But destroying it is another story. I've been playing with the Clippers and the Grizzles (Maybe like twice each). But I usually throw a alley oop or pocket bounce pass inbetween the defenders.

Ok.... So last night playing with the Grizzles.... And I'm not sure... If I saw this right. I didn't go back to look. But I swear I saw Tony Allen running back on defense after making a steal and dunk. With his finger in the air mouthing "First team defense!" I might have been dreaming I think.

Yeah, JF, I agree with your assement, this is what is happening in my games. It's not a glaring issue, but something that happens. It can come from a missed FG or after a basket, it just seems like the AI players are brain dead for a few seconds.

It has happen to me. I've guess both times it happen I thought it was my fault. But I haven't seen it since. And both times it happen to me. I had a big slow center on the court.

Yeah, for some reason, Toronto gives me fits! Vucevich just kills me every time I play them, no matter who I'm using. I've beat them, but it's not easy.

So I've watched a the clip a few times. But it seems like the "get back on defense" logic might be a little messed up. So I can see what your talking about.

# 719 Allisterw95 @ 10/01/15 11:36 AM

The my MyCareer is great but there's a couple things I don't understand (Note: My player is 6'10 240 lbs)
1) my athleticism is all the way up but I don't understand why my speed is only a 75 and it fluctuates up and down between games why is that?
2) during free throws it sometime says my rating is a 90 but then sometimes the freethrow rating goes down to a 88. Again what is up with the fluctuations in this game.

are you doing practices?

otherwise, i have no idea.
