   I'm an experienced basketball player in real life, and a sports video game enthusiast. This game should not be this hard. I've been playingI'm an experienced basketball player in real life, and a sports video game enthusiast. This game should not be this hard. I've been playing for a few weeks now.
   
   There is an extreme lack of tutorials for a game with such complicated (and poor) controls. I've had to go online to youtube to find tutorials on anything I wanted to learn for this game.
   
   I can play as the Warriors against the Hornets on Rookie mode and the Hornets will match me step for step. Curry moves around screens like he's on sleeping medication. The lateral movement for the world's quickest players is inexplicably lethargic.
   
   The right stick (PS4) is downright dysfunctional. You never know which version of its many functions are going to happen each time you press it, if it even responds at all. I can run straight at the basket with a top player like Kawhi Leonard, with no defense in the way, hold R2 and press the right stick for a dunk, only to have him pull up and brick a jumper from just inside the free throw line.
   
   The opposing defense still has a superhuman ability to intercept your passes.
   
   Dribbling (another function of the much-maligned right stick) is awful. You never know if your player will even do a move. Driving into the lane is nearly hopeless. Even top players like Steph Curry will routinely lose the ball in the lane even if you are attempting dribble moves or various layup/dunk options.
   
   Your team's defensive AI is laughably bad. They will frequently camp out around the perimeter, just inviting the other team to drive in for a dunk.
   As for controlling your player on defense, it is complicated and challenging, but I can appreciate some of the nuances of risk/reward there. But CPU players can still blow past you with little effort. And forget about trying to intercept passes. I can stand right in between two CPU players, wait for the pass, press steal, and I still won't get the ball.
   
   I tried adjusting the gameplay settings and see almost no difference. The very high difficulty level is still there.
   
   As for the good parts of the game:
   
   -presentation - Fantastic. Commentary is the best in the business. Animations are very realistic - except for the super sluggish lateral movements of the ball-handlers.
   
   -Game modes- this really isn't a selling point for me, I just want to play a quick game whenever I have time. But there are loads of game modes in NBA2K16 - playing online, seasons, the Spike Lee story mode, etc.
   
   Bottom line: Looks great, sounds great, loads of game modes. Hampered by extreme difficulty and embarrassingly bad controls.… Expand

   NBA 2k has been easily exceeding over the past few years. But personally seems as if 2k is taking really slow small steps. While NBA 2k16NBA 2k has been easily exceeding over the past few years. But personally seems as if 2k is taking really slow small steps. While NBA 2k16 easily being the best NBA game out there, there are some things that I noticed. For one it is almost the same thing as last years game (2k15) An upgrade was the story mode. The story mode was entertaining but also has its little things.
   Myplayer is great, but during the story, the players name is Frequency Vibration. I would like to choose my name instead of being given one considering it is my player. Another thing is that the story mode makes you come from the projects and you are from an African American family. All is fine cause it is a story, but also is myplayer. The story was produced by Spike Lee, and it kind of did give a feeling of "not me" Some positives include the story line, you get to start from high school, and choose your college, limited choices.
   The online gameplay, Mypark, is and upgrade as well as you get to play with other people after joing a group. You get to battle opposing groups and have different competitions. The gameplay overall is good but could be better. Feels very one sided, (offense) as defence is much more harder. The controls can be confusing at times. The gameplay to me seemed a little slow, I like a faster more excitement type of gameplay.
   Overall it is the best game out there, but not much of difference other than the myplayer story mode and mypark. For 2k fanatics would be a great game. For those that love playing basketball games, it is a good product but can get boring at times or even frustrated. 2k servers have some work to do. I would recomment that if you absolutely want it, get it, but if you can hold off for a year, these problems will be solved. I rate it a 5 because it is almost the same thing as 2k14, the rest is because again the myplayer and mypark.… Expand

It feels exactly like 15, and they even made the controls worse. There are tons of glitches that we don't even know will be patched including Demigod glitches. MyCareer just seemed like a low-rate movie to me. You don't make a lot of decisions, it's just a bunch of stupid cut-scenes to make it look like a new experience. The story is literally set to the life of a black player. You have a black biological twin sister with BOTH BLACK PARENTS, meaning if you use a white player, (you'll have a black twin sister). You grow up in the projects, which is common for certain African Americans. You can add your voice to the game, but it just sounds awkward to me. It just seems like 2K is led to believe that they don't have any white fans. The face-scans are completely horrible. It's obvious that Chris Smoove lied about his face-scan saying that it was good. You could OBVIOUSLY see that it looked nothing like him. Live has better face-scans and you do it from your phone! The High School and College stuff only lasts for 4 games, so I don't even call that an addition. The only reason why I'm giving this a 2 is because even though it is a refurbished game, it is still a solid simulation basketball game, but it just gets boring after while. The servers are still crappy, so good luck with that. I've experienced my fair share of glitches, and I think it's time that I take this back to the store.… Expand
