Last year’s addition to the NBA 2k series was spectacular. It was hard to imagine what else can be added to the game to make it even better. But the game developers were able to deliver, giving us the best NBA game ever made. NBA 2k16 has undergone many improvements, making it the best basketball simulation game yet. If you are a huge basketball fan like me, then you should definitely take a look at the game and see for yourself how close to real life your gaming experience becomes.
Perhaps the most notable difference is the improved AI defenses. Earlier versions of the game employed pretty poor defenses. You can zigzag down the lane to get a quick cube. It seemed like all he had to do was circle his joystick past his defender. But in 2k16, it is much more difficult than that. Simply making random moves would normally lead to turnovers or bad shots.
There are also many changes when it comes to game controls. Double tapping the buttons allows for a variety of elegant plays, from throwing alley-oops to making no-look passes. The post move down is now in L2 and more intuitive than ever. You no longer have to wait for the animation to stabilize before you can run your signature post-up game.
Of course, it is also worth mentioning that NBA 2k 16 is the most attractive basketball game, without exception. Much attention has been paid to the smallest details of each player, coach, announcers and even fans watching in the arena. It’s like you’re watching an NBA game live! It would be interesting to see how much more the graphics will improve in the coming years.
What’s also great is that you have the option to play the game in many ways. There are several gameplay options, and some have a long-awaited return. But without a doubt, the most popular game mode is MyCareer. You are probably familiar with this feature, but once you try it, it will feel completely different. Follow an interesting story as you turn an avid basketball fan into a global superstar.
And perhaps the best news is that glitches and glitches are reported by only a minority of players. While the game still relies heavily on online servers, you don’t have to worry about big issues that would get in the way of your gaming experience. Visual Concepts deserves crazy support for creating such a complete game package.
