Operation Sports is Going to NBA 2K (Gameplay impressions on 9/11)

04:02 PM - September 6, 2015 by DustinT

Hey OS, Senior Editor Dustin Toms (@DustinToms) here. Release season is upon us, and the next big NBA title is coming up.

We've been invited to spend a day with NBA 2K this Thursday, September 10. I'll be flying down to The Hangar and have hands-on experience with NBA 2K16, conversations with the developers and opportunities to capture some gameplay footage (which will debut on the Operation Sports YouTube channel). We will surely come back with even more information overload for OSers to try and process.

Now this is where you come in: what do you want to know about NBA 2K16? Post your questions here, or ask me directly on Twitter at @DustinToms. I'll take a list of the best questions with me, and have answers for you shortly after. If you ask me on Twitter, I'll reply directly to you!

Make sure you read through these links as well, as most of your questions may already be answered:

Fire away below, OSers!

The blocking/ charging status....

with the new foot planting tech i want to know if finally can we beat a defender to spot in d paint outside the restricted area and pick up a charge consistently?

far too many times in previous 2k that strategy of good defenders like shane battier,blake griffin ricky rubio kyle lowry and others that averages the most charges in d paint have been absent

It will be from the new NBA2K16 APP coming soon for phones, and maby tablets

Can I change jerseys in MyCareer mode? Or at least have the CPU change it up once in a while.

Awesome! Great idea by 2k to bring OS into the building! Can't wait for this! Enjoy!

Create/edit an arena available for non-Myleague modes..like College 2k (edit arena)

# 28 Shadojoker @ 09/06/15 05:21 PM

Do each team have more hardwood (throwback) jerseys? Each year it's the same but sometimes you guys remove some.

# 29 Toaster @ 09/06/15 05:29 PM

I would love to get a qtr of CPU vs CPU like we used to get in the good old times.

1. What steps have been taken to improve the "halftime report" to a "halftime show" with replays from the game (season and online custom games against friends) and replays from league best plays (ala NFL 2K5)

2. What steps have been taken to improve "End of Game highlights similar to those from prior years (e.g., 2K11)? To include music and best plays of the game.

3. What steps have been taken to add back "in game replays" to online league and custom games against live players similar to those incorporated against AI played games?

As you can see, my questions are geared towards presentation, as i believe they would increase the overall quality of the game. Next Generation consoles should bring next generation realism.

Can we create alternate jerseys for myleague/myGM when we rebrand instead having just home/away jerseys

# 32 love @ 09/06/15 05:49 PM

Will there be an College Hoops-style "NBA Tonight" in the near future to give MyGM / MyCareer some additional livelihood with each season?

# 33 jeremym480 @ 09/06/15 05:58 PM

Will the after the game highlights work properly on PS4 this year?

# 34 Saro1 @ 09/06/15 06:09 PM

Can we edit or create staff?

# 35 antdoggydogg @ 09/06/15 06:10 PM

In last years game, the top of the offensive rebounding leaderboards usually had guys that averaged around 3 offensive rebounds a game. When in reality, Andre Drummond has averaged 5 offensive rebounds a game for the past 2 seasons. A similar ceiling existed in regards to shot blocking. Basically, I'd like to know if simmed stats will be more accurate this year in regards to offensive rebounding and blocks. Thanks!

I don't know if this is just for gameplay or not but has the pre game show been improved at all? Do we get a post game show this year? Weekly wrap up show? What have they done to improve the presentation? Can we put headbands on players now? Can we edit our current stadium or is that only available when you relocate a team?

# 37 strawberryshortcake @ 09/06/15 06:16 PM

My questions never get chosen, but I'm posting these anyways. These are what I would ask if I had a chance to speak with 2k directly.

Halftime, Pre-game, Post-game show
Has a legitimate halftime show been implemented into NBAk216? Legitimate as preferably seen in NFL2k5 or even something closer to NBA2k14? Pre-game show improvements with Ernie and Shaq? What about a Post-game show including Ernie and Shaq or someone in the studio?

Defensive footplanting
New footplant detection technology revealed, however, I am unfortunately still seeing sliding by defenders as if they are missing footplant animations. Example including the Delly full court press on Curry in spoiler tag. Question. Will footplant technology be continually worked on and improved to completely eliminate sliding? Is sliding happening because of the lack of defensive animations?

Spoiler

Audio/Sound Engineer
Members are still concerned about where NBA2k is in regards to audio authenticity. Has rim sound, crowd noise, crowd reaction been improved? But more importantly, how has it improved? Rim sounds as someone puts it, has a trash can sound to it.

No visual crowd reaction when hometown hero Anthony Davis blocks Dwight Howard in the video below.

Spoiler

Player Models
Did players get their lower body scanned? People have mentioned cankles on players such as the coverboy athlete Anthony Davis.

Can we have different jerseys in MyCareer?\

How will MyCareer play out once storyline is over? Last year was a mess with same rookie storyline playing in later years?

Will 2K16 online get rid of the delay? It just don't feel natural playing online and there is a delay which wasn't in the previous games.

This screenshot triggered my question. See where it says community uploads? Are we really gonna have that feature? That'd be a time saver for sure.

I am a complete noob to the NBA 2k series, honestly to basketball as a whole. I have not watched a game since Jordan was on the court, the first time, and I have been playing College Hoops since 2k8. I have been following the info for 16 and I must say this is shaping up, in my opinion, to be a genre shaping game. I see this as being the game that people say formed a generation and I am very excited to be a part of it.

In anticipation for 16 I thought I would mess around with 15. I never could get it installed to play. I am not bashing so please don't get all defensive. Some great guys on in the 2K forum really tried to help, just couldn't get it to work and I just gave up.

So my question is. Are the install issues that a lot of people went thru last year resolved or is this a potential issue for this year as well?
