Re: nba2k16
:facepalm
so I have a black TWIN sister even though I'm white. Why not make it the kid is with a foster family at the start, could them say shit like "sad your family isn't here" and stuff and why do I look like a 30 year old dude playing against children in high school.

[QUOTE=EricGordon23]This my career sounds horrible can't wait...[/QUOTE]
The team owner has just spent 5 minutes and counting telling me about his high school friend. There's also unskippable time out talks and long ass intros for postgame talk and can't skip those quick either. Theres more cut scenes with zero input from the player or choices i make like in the old game than there is actual playing basketball.
They should have called this spikes career not my career because i don't decide anything. Faaaaaark this cut scene won't end

Re: nba2k16
Not feeling the whole story stuff thus far either. I did like the transition from high school to college. Opponents clearly more athletic, no broadcast to a college specific broadcast, bands, halves, 30 seconds shot clock, etc. Wish we had more choices than those piece of shit schools tho. Also high school felt somewhat natural since you don't want to spend all day in those games. Same goes for college but I wasn't loving how short the career felt. Went from first game, mid season test, third game (or swap the last two), and all of a sudden you are in the championship game. Meh.
And Freq? FREQ? What the freq kind of name is that.

Re: nba2k16
Got lucky to end up on a decent park team and we ran shit for a while. My guy is 61 after some games and the preorder... Everyone in park is 80+ in all this gear. What the ****? Everyone buying that much VC already?
Park servers aren't laggy at all. Could be because it's 4-7 in the US and these are preorder players. I'll take it.
My Team (from free packs):
Steve Blake (35) / Alan Anderson (10)
Justin Holiday (30) / John Jenkins (17) / Carrick Felix (0)
Jeremy Lamb (37) / Bill Walker (14) / Damjan Rudez (0) / Victor Claver (0)
Adrian Payne (32) / James Jones (13)
Gorgui Deng (35) / JJ Stokes (17) / Alex Kirk (0)
Reserves: CJ Wilcox / Carrick Felix / Landry Fields / Mirza Teletovic / Hedo Turkoglu / Pero Antic
Got garbage from the preorder packs.

Re: nba2k16
You play 8 games in rookie year with no way to check stats or standings or team details...
No way to input in cut scenes. My shoes were chosen for me and of course they are knicks colours but i play for Denver
**** i hate spike lee
And god damn my character is such a dick but i can't get any choice myself so i sit hear watching 15 minute cut scenes of me doing stupid things the opposite of what i want to do
Also damien lilard is averaging 34 ppg and 13apg and I'm on the last game of my rolookie year. Wtf he is the goat
End of the rookie story is ao damn predictable too

Re: nba2k16
Got this about an hour ago. ****ing pissed to see no Rasheed Wallace on 2000 Blazers. He's their best player and they didn't include him. WTF?
Team is no where near as good as they are with Sheed.

Re: nba2k16
Damn, I regret buying this. I was already bored by 2K15 and thought this would spark my interest again, but
- Mycareer story sucks and games are so monotonous.. every game is the same
- MyTeam starts you off with so bad cards and there are so many challenges/modes to grind - and it's exactly like last years myteam
- MyGM is just... too long of a season if you want realism with 12min quarters and 82 games..
So now I'm just sitting here playing quick games because I cba starting any modes. 8 hours after I started playing.. :(

Re: nba2k16
Operation Sports forums are garbage. I just made a thread about the terrible story and asking why it's in the game. Immediately locked.
God forbid there's an actual discussion about anything. Anything that's not "OMG 10/10 game of the forever!" is deleted.
I think the game looks good btw. I just think the forum is poorly run...probably because the mods are trying to score jobs with 2K.

Re: nba2k16
Only really buy this game for My Career now, and so far I'm really disappointed.
Hate this story. 8 games in my rookie year? Wow. Agent promises me I'll go 1st overall, I go 17th to the Bucks and I'm there at the press conference thanking my family and my agent without a care in the world. :oldlol:
I'm supposed to have this huge decision to make between staying at college and going pro, and I don't actually make the decision myself? Why did I have to sit through a 10 minute cutscene then? I hate train track gameplay. Least you could make a fair amount of decisions in 2K15 my career.
In the trailers they try to sell the mantra of "Be Yourself". How the hell can I be myself when I'm a white Englishman who is being told I'm from Harlem, have black parents and a black twin sister? :oldlol:
-
Re: nba2k16
Yeah, not being able to choose to stay in college was dumb. Would have went oad anyway since we weren't earning points in college, but **** why you going to built it up with like 20 minutes of dialogue if we don't get to choose?
Thought they were marketing that we get choices and they matter this year? MyCareer is very linear. Somehow more than last year (to this point - my rookie year) where none of your choices mattered other than shoe affiliation.
A positive, I guess, they fixed the baseline cheese. Now you're a lot more likely to run out of bounds. Ball seems to be knocked away more easily when you dribble through traffic as well. Not just by the opponent either.
They changed the post up, tho, and for the life of me I can't register it in my head. I keep pressing Y when I want to post up and it lobs a pass. ****ing hell. I'm using a big too.

Re: nba2k16
Can change the dude's nickname in the options after his rook year.
The new free agency stuff is interesting. Although I wonder if you can still take the biggest contract and then force a trade to the team you want (while getting paid the highest you can). I just chose Dallas instead of testing because I don't want to play for some team I don't want to join and get stuck. Creating new players is going to be a pain. Going to have to sit through that crappy story again. ugh. Once I unseat Dirk and take the starter spot, I'll try out that foul out exploit from last year and see if it's fixed.
The Jordan Rec replacement is buggy shit. Reminds me of old teamup where you spend half an hour waiting for the room to fill and then it glitches out when it finally does. I'd hate to see what the servers do when it has to handle first week players in a couple days, and especially Christmas users in a few months.
And classic 2k servers losing connection right as you end games in MyTeam. Did it to be b2b while I was playing through domination and completely soured the experience. Not going to touch that shit for a while.
Going to **** around on MyGM now. Last year was straight garbage. Eventually you became so OP with the boosts that every player on your team was 90+. Hope they fixed that.

Re: nba2k16
Watched some of the MyCareer and it doesn't look as bad as people are making it out to be, I love seeing High School and Colleges being involved in the story. I'm getting used to 2K adding stories to their MyCareer series. MyCareer used to be nothing special back in the day, everyone's MyPlayer averaged legendary stats in their career mode and the series mode used to be nothing but playing games with no real drama that adds to the story.
The gameplay is the most important thing, and nobody is even talking about it. I haven't played the game, but it looks smooth. From a visual aspect, it looks the best it's been since 2K11.

Re: nba2k16
Anybody played 2k16 is it worth getting?

Re: nba2k16
I just play single player (seasons, association) and it plays great. Some small control changes that aggravate me (it's not intuitive) but it plays great and looks great. Can't tell you about multie player or mycareer yet.

Re: nba2k16
Trade AI seems smarter. I think. Chose the Jazz for MyGM (going to sim only this) and I'm not getting insane trade offers other than the Pistons seemingly wanting to salary dump Drummond. And they really milk you for all your worth now. Trying to grab every little second rounder they can from you. Wish they would copy Football Manager where you can lock things in contracts (well, it would be trades in 2k). That way you can get your deal or tell them to **** off. Because the way it is now, it's 2K's way or no way it all. They have all the control.
Only messed around for a little over an hour last night on this because I was tired and spent the first hour trying to relocate the Jazz to Seattle. It's basically a create a team and it's pretty deep. Can change every color on the court, upload your own images for logos and shit, place those on the court if you want, choose what advertisement (can also upload your own images), scoreboard, adjust the seating, the concessions, travel, create your own uniforms (again, a lot of options). I like it a lot. Too bad none of the owners are approving the move and I wasted that hour. My jerseys are sexy, and now I got to use the ugly Jazz shit.
And it does play better. Like mentioned, they adjusted for the baseline cheese in previous games. You're a lot more likely to run out of bounds. Also I can't seem to do that cheese I can't remember what it's called. Where you kind of swerve a bit and then crossover. Would beat the CPU almost every time last game. Now they stick to you, frankly, almost unrealistically. Granted, I have only played three game (all MyTeam, with crappy bronze players) and the rest is based on MyCareer where I'm using a PF who can't dribble.
Collisions are better. Both on fouls and when you're handling. My guy instantly gets stripped in Park now. His ball control is default on a PF, so it's like 40-something probably.
One thing I noticed is free throws are insanely easy. My guy's rating was in the 50s for most of the games, I don't even get near the marker a lot of the time, and I missed once or twice out of 20+ attempts. Not sure what's up with that. Been playing on Superstar.
They also still delay your inbounds. Which is incredibly annoying... Why should I get penalized because the defense isn't set yet? And I feel like mid Js are still OP. Draining them like I'm Dirk out to a step inside the 3pt line with a 60s rated shooting player. Although I did find it interesting how I couldn't miss from 3 in college and now every time I take a 3 in the NBA, it's a horrible shot and I will miss unless it's perfect. Not sure how they adjusted that. Probably giving too much crediting thinking it's because college 3pt line difference? Either way, I should not have been Nash from 3 in college when my 3pt shooting was in the 40s.

Its flat out terrible. The acting sucks it predictable there's no choice theres 15 minute cut scenes about nothing there's no standings rookie year Theres 8 games rookie season you are forced to be black from the hood. Its ****ing retarded.
It's called MY career. You should get a choice in things not sit back watching a movie, they should have had "livin spike's dream" as a separate mode and kept mycareer on it's own. I didn't want any of the stupid decisions my character made and thought nearly every person in the story line was an obnoxious douche bag but i had no choice but to associate with them and spike even snuck in getting your shoes made in knicks colours despite you not playing for the knicks :facepalm
