This is technically Sup Forums but I know some fucks here play this too so sue me.
I was expecting a fun career mode like they've always had but this VC shit has ruined the game. Its literally pay2win or else you have to play 70 games minimum to get your player to the mid 70s. What the fuck is the point of playing if your guy sucks for 2 years?
it was free on psplus so i dropped 20$ to make it fun, have a tall af nigger who I made to look like a rapist, worth it imo m8
Carson Clark
>not pirating the pc version and using cheats to give yourself more VC
LOL
Jeremiah Edwards
This game is pretty bad. Glad I got it for free from the PSN.

>start the career mode, make my white player from Croatia >suddenly I'm in American highschool >I have black parents and I live in Brooklyn >okay I'll pretend I was adopted >and a black TWIN sister >fuck this stupid shit >continue playing >cutscenes are longer than games I play and boring as fuck >something about my best friend constantly chimping out >GM comes over to my player's house to threaten me >"I can send you overseas to play in Europe, and trust me, you don't want to have to learn Italian or Croatian language"
Thank fuck for Steam refunds.
Let's hope they won't go full retard in 2k17.
Connor Howard
I shouldn't have to use cheat codes or spend real shekels to have a fair and balanced amount of exp points to spend on my player. Its a complete misunderstanding of this type of gameplay on the most basic level.
Its a real shame too because these games were once GOAT and made EA's Jew shit look retarded. Now 2k and EA are Team Jew.
Logan Hughes
top fucking kek
what were they thinking?
Nicholas Ortiz
That's what you get for hiring Spike Lee to tell a story and not just focusing on improving the gameplay.
Thomas Morris
He's obsessed with race. The whole thing is about being a poor black man who rises up and achieves his dreams. Even if you're white af.

FREAKIN AND VIBIN BABY, FREAKIN AND VIBIN
Nice way to alienate a shitload of players.
I mean, okay, you want to tell a story, that's fine. But come on, it's a fucking sports game, not a Telltale game, I can't understand why they did that. And now FIFA is doing the same thing.
I just want to play muh career in peace with some cool features on the side,
Hunter Gonzalez
>tfw 72 overall PF on the Knicks
Oliver Cruz
You still in your second year? Im only 5 games into mine and I'm only 63 ovr. This shit is gonna take forever.
Alexander Thomas
Like sixteen games in yeah.
Cameron Morgan
i downloaded this because it was free.
i literally played it for 1 game and was bored of it already. it's just the same fucking shit over and over. 1 team has the ball and runs the other end and shoots. the other team gets the ball runs to the other end and shoots. what a fucking boring piece of shit sport basketball is.
Colton Long
>it's just the same fucking shit over and over. 1 team has the ball and runs the other end and shoots. the other team gets the ball runs to the other end and shoots. what a fucking boring piece of shit sport soccer is.

lol the moment I saw Spike Lee's coon ass on the title I knew not to play it
Cooper Harris
t. I've never actually played basketball in my life
Ryan Davis
fuck spike lee man
>tfw want to start another career, this time make a big man >remember the bullshit you have to go through nooooope, I'll just stick to mygm and myteam
Ryder Jenkins
>muh sister >muh friend >15 minute cutscenes >takes for fucking ever to get through high school/college bullshit >finally get drafted >only 8 games in first season
If they fuck it up again in 2k17 I'll riot
Robert Diaz
The career mode is shit. I do enjoy online play quite a bit tough. Defenitly a step up from the last year in that regard.
Bentley Wilson
>tfw can't even play online because nobody here plays it and it's unplayable with lag
Christian Cox
Sorry to hear that Argentino bro. I'm actually suprsed it's like that...I mean shouldn't there be thousands of HueHue's and Argentinians playing. I tough basketball was popular in Brasil.
Adrian Adams
Is rather play Spike Lee's racist career than with BR to be h
Isaac Perez
This is probably the worst one of the decade. 2K11 was best of the 360 generation, gameplay wise. I'm thinking of just sticking to odd year releases of sports games. If you take a look back at any yearly franchise, odd years (on the cover) tend to be the best.
Alexander Nguyen
totally not buying next year's game because of this, unless i read some reviews that say they completely overhauled mycareer.

I don't know, but not a lot of people have a ps4 over here, and even less pay ps+ to play online. And playing against brazilians is impossible because lag is awful. Also you can get used to the lag if you're playing fifa or some other game, but in basket where every second is key it's harder
Elijah Williams
That's why I play NBA 2k11 All by myself
Idgaf
Nathaniel Sullivan
Me too. Mycareer was doing so well up until this point, with all the fun stuff like virtual twitter and commercials. 2k15 was a bit of a hassle with the "you aint drafted" shit and 10 day contracts, but turned out alright in the end. But fuking 2k16. I don't fucking care about personal fucking drama. I mean cutscene of the player and his best friend randomly driving around that lasts 15 minutes and it turns out your player killed someone when they were younger.
What the fuck, I just want to play some basketball.
I'd rather a 2k11. This guys knows what's up
Jaxson Murphy
Do GMs really threaten to send their players overseas?
Luis Allen
Just a sec, I need to find where my screenshot is
Cameron Lee
>I was expecting a fun career mode it's for kids. career mode isn't for adults user. Just play myteam. that's allthe game is good for.
I just got the game for 12 bucks on steam sale, I had torrented it in october, felt it was time to play some online.
>giving a shit about the stupid ass kid story
cmon dude. it's fucking trash.
Carson Rodriguez
lol why would you just not torrent first? ur on pc
Brandon Walker
>player from Croatia >Team Owner doesn't want me learning Croatian as second language
OKALY DOKALY, THANKS SPIKE
Landon Green
It was a dumb move by me, I've been a fan of NBA 2k since 2012 and didn't even think, as soon as it was out I bought it without even looking at reviews or let's plays or reading articles saying that Lee will fuck it's shit up.
I'm a dumbass, but I'll tell you one thing, I won't be doing that mistake again.
>tfw I also bought Watch_Dogs on release day
I could have had more fun stuffing 50 euros up my ass
Ayden Moore
One of the worst story modes I've ever played
Christopher Davis
They need to fix the fucking passing too. So many times I've tried to pass to a wide open dude, but instead I chuck it across the court to the guy behind him and get a turnover.
Kayden Long
>playing my player >not playing online or my league
You asked for it
Camden Taylor
They'll never fix that, passing has been fucked for years.
Justin Ortiz
I remember playing 2k11 on my Wii.
That sure was...something.
Robert Roberts
2k14 was so much better if im honest
Blake Butler
that's why i always use button passing or whatever it is called...directional passing is so fucked
Andrew Hughes
Directional passing is too slow for fast breaks though, which makes the whole thing dicks.
Austin Long
How do you defend? How do you know what plays you should be running? I play this like a headless chicken running around everywhere
Gabriel Lewis
>you have to play 70 games minimum to get your player to the mid 70s
Damn, you have to play the game to get better at the game? Shit sucks bro. Try and ask for a refund.
Cameron Clark
Anyone? There's no in game training mode either
Ethan Carter
Stick to your man or within the vicinity of him. It isn't always going to be perfect so you might end up in a zone situation where one of your teammates breaks off his assignment and you're stuck covering someone else. Basically 1. stick to your man and follow his ass everywhere 2. cover SOMEONE if you lose your man 3. dont fall for pumpfakes
Tyler Foster
What about offense? Just run around anywhere looking to be open?
Xavier Wilson
You can turn on the play art, so it shows you on the floor where to stand, who to pass to, where to set picks, etc. Should be in the options menu.
Jace Cox
Yeah basically but if you're a pg like me then just spam pick and rolls. I never run legit plays.
Hunter King
i agree with you, it is even worse when the endscore is basically 99-97 and the last team either pulls a 3 and wins or fucks it up and loses
Julian Thompson
Thanks, I'm a 6'7 SG because I read somewhere that was a good size+position
Austin Reed
I could get over the black parents despite obviously being white, and the black twin sister. I'd just pretend she really wanted some and was into some kinky shit.
But everyone calling me Freq(freak) and frequency vibrations triggered me too much. I can't take it seriously, it's such a stupid nickname.
I can't even choose a qt tropy wife, and need to pick that ugly ass bitch? If they were going to do a story mode, at least give us some choices. It can't be that hard to program a few different models.
David Phillips
I did SG and always went up to pick for the PG and then called back for ball after he took off. like 75% of the time I would have a wide, or fairly wide, open jumper. Draining ~10 3s a game on average on hardest settings.
Jackson King
It's not hard at all, the hardest part is animation, after that you can just slap on models to it.
But they just had to fall for movie experience meme.
There's a lot they can do for career mode to make it fun, but forcing a specific storyline isn't one of those things.
Bentley Cox
Thanks for the tip
John Peterson
Exactly, and if you make them all the same height and build, there is no problem.
Jaxson Reyes
I went with a 6'4" point guard. Did I do it wrong?
Logan Parker
I just spammed 3s and rebounded and blocked as a tall SG
Eli Brooks
only mypark is fun desu and even then it's pretty dead now and full of psplus free game of the month noobs now...playing with my 96 rated PF and going ham on streaks with my buddy isn't really entertaining anymore
myteam is OK but gets really repetitive
Logan Baker
yeah lmao you'll get fucked by the mypark PG midgets
Landon Sanders
You can only blame 2k lazyness, or lack of a good game development director.
Michael Wood
I wanted to go with my own height, but I thought 6'4 was too small for a SG.
Sebastian Gray
the FIFA thing fucking triggers me, I've been wanting a fleshed out career mode for ages and now that we get one I'm forced to be another fucking nog.
Fair enough I understand not being able to change your name because they record commentary for Alex Hunter, but there's literally NO reason why you shouldn't be able to customize your player, even 2k does it.
Jack Davis
mirin the beard
Camden Garcia
I would play nba 2k15 but it just wants to loop the intro spurs and heat game over and over. Tried every single suggestion multiple times and nothing. Some people say its installing but I let my ps4 on for 2 fucking days, I know its a 54gig game but ive downloaded and installed similar size games and it took a few hours tops. I bit my lip and started playing MC in 16, the spike lee stuff is absolute garbage, but after the 2nd season the only annoying thing is the announcer still calls you the nigger name.
Cooper Fisher
Thanks
It's just stupid, sport games shouldn't restrict the players that much, it's not fucking Witcher. And the fact that you have that muh struggle storyline all over again, that you're forced to play your first season in Premiership.
Why are they doing this? Why?. Just let me make my player, customize him, play games, and toss some cool shit to do aside, like commercials and magazines and shit in earlier 2k NBA's, don't force me to fucking live a life of personal drama
Jose Cox
I bet you they pull some stupid shit like only letting you play for Arsenal, Liverpool, City or United since they're the only clubs with confirmed managers so far.
Hudson Barnes
I'll take that bet and raise you a "dramatic storyline about your friend/gf/dad/mom fucking up something, that interfering with your form, coach sends you on loan somewhere else, you regroup and sort your shit out and return to your club stronger than ever"
Gabriel Sanders
>be me >get 2Kwhatever fotr "free" from PS plus >Pacer fan >hitting all the spots the actual players are most efficient from >Not hitting shit >launch 3's with Monte >SWISH >uninstall
If you're going to be "realistic" then put in the fucking effort. I was missing wide open 18 footers with Turner. Mahimi had post moves, it was retarded.
Sebastian Kelly
That ugly fucking skank Yvette triggered me the most.
Also I think after the storyline shit mycareer is fun to play, but VC is bullshit I agree.
Jose Allen
Monta and Gerald Green are MJ-tier in 2K
Jace Smith
i hate it, i can already see they doing a stupid shit like you have to be a Winger/Attacking Midfielder.
How hard is to have your player, and then have some interactions with your team-mates and agent?
Leo Kelly
will the FIFA one have post game interviews to throw out some banter like 2k? might pick it up if so~
Gabriel Parker
Too hard obviously, because on-rail movie experience is the flavor of the year.
Some interactions with the players, agents, your coach, press, maybe toss in a few optional training minigames for extra skill points, fuck, throw in a customizable aparment if you have too much time on your hands, just don't force some asswipe storyline and a preset character.
Yvette was the worst.
Connor Morales
>In the end, son, its your choice whether to stay in college another year or enter the draft lol nope, not a choice. You enter the draft. Also, you don't go #1 like Dom guaranteed. And who the fuck wanted to sign with that fucker in the first place?
Isaiah Cruz
Honestly, I'm kind of happy how difficult the game is. I agree that spending real-life shekels for in-game upgrades is fucked up, but let's ignore that for a second. I was playing NCAA 14 earlier today on All-American difficulty and beat the AI 72 to 14. So many sports games are just too damn easy. You never lose. I like how when I play 2K16, I sometimes lose. It gives playing a full season some meaning. There's tension, and the sense that I really need to play well to succeed. You just don't get that in any other sports games.
David Torres
I remember a thread where some user simulated a franchise mode as far as it could go and posted screenshots of the champions, maps, etc. That shit was so great. Someone should do that again.
Isaac Rivera
I'd do it. It'd probably take a fuckload of time to do though
Hudson Torres
Yes but you're forced to play as Alex "negro" Hunter so you'll either have the option of a boring natural comment or full on "WE WUZ KANGZ N SHIET"
Evan Mitchell
>it gives playing a full season some meaning
Jeez there are people who actually play through all 82 games? I know you need the VC but fuck I get bored halfway through the season and just sim to playoffs
Noah Adams
Do it. I remember the bucks had a dynasty in like the 2030s. Shit was hilarious
John Phillips
>start 2k GM mode >takes me 2 years to complete a season because I'm too autistic to sim games
everytime
Gabriel Carter
>tfw still no good basketball management sims
Ryder Hill
Anyone else gets raped by shitty players? Amare Stoudemire is better than fucking Wilt Chamberlain in this game god damn
Joshua Butler
at least in 2k16 they fixed the insane amount of ORBs the AI would snag from 2k15
James Perez
i think they only have 70s wilt.
60s wilt would be best.
Josiah Torres
I remember someone from some site simmed a made dozens of draftclasses with players who had 0 for all abilities and tendencies. Was absolutely hilarious once he turned out with an entire league of players from draft classes. I think Nerlens Noel had 12 MVPs but never won a ring kek.
Samuel Sanders
It's supposed to last you all year. And some people do just play it religiously, just like people who only play 1 FPS all year.
Worth a read if anyone hasn't yet. Guy knows how to break sports games.
Xavier Hughes
>In 2018, the year after his second term ended, Barack Obama remains the President of the United States. He has clearly abolished Constitutional term limits, and God knows what else with it.
