Got my fingers crossed chanting 'pleasedontbeamessthisyearpleasedontbeamess'
I'd settle for the same game with better loading times as this point.

I'm getting it because I always do. I want the MyPlayer to have a little more variety in between games.
I was right into '14 until I realised that through whatever combination of difficulty and playing style I'd broken the game by just shooting three-pointers all the time (broke the NBA record halfway through the season) and then couldn't get as invested in my new game.
Might get this one at some point.
My copy of 14 remains rarely used. I'll not ditch it, though. Some days I like to think I'll play it and then settle for a sport I know instead.
I'd be alright with that, I really got into 15.Originally Posted by phonics
The MyCareer story is being written by Spike Lee. I have a feeling my white guy from Switzerland is going to be out of place.
You'll sound black, though.
That's been an ongoing identity crisis that I've come to terms with, I made up for it with hilarious pranks such as 'the water bucket over the door' and 'the water bucket over the door' and 'the water bucket over the door'. I was a crazy character. A few more options would be nice. We'll see. Progression that wasn't just playing matches is what I want really. And shorter seasons.
Does this come out on the PC?
Yeah, it's the only decent sports game that does. Hence my vociferousness for it.
Got this yesterday but haven't played yet. I'm going straight into the Spike Lee career joint though, can't wait to learn about my prejudices!
I left the house and NBA 2k would be ready in an hour. I come back an hour later and it'll be 43 days.
I would have pre-ordered this had I noticed this version before:
The Michael Jordan stuff was crap in 2k14 so I wouldn't be too bothered.
Spike Lee, to no-ones surprise, pulls a total David Cage in NBA 2k16.
That could mean 10 different things at this point.
"Uh-oh. I murdered this guy in a diner!"
"Fuck! Sign for the Atlanta Hawks, quick!"
"You're the boss, ghost companion!"
<World's best Dad>
It kept the same character model I used in 2K15 for the career, which seemed off as my pasty Caucasian was joshing with his black sister about their moms' prime rib. I hope Annoying Friend is killed soon to spur me on to live my dream or something, he's a bit of a dick like Dante Exum was last year.
For a game subtitled 'Be The Story' Spike Lee seems to be choosing a lot of the options for me.
I just hope I'm not stuck with 'Freq' as a nickname. Garbageman was putting up some serious numbers for the Pistons last time out.
Yeah you are. It's how they get around not saying your name. You get a stupid dance animation too.
I've restarted with a shorter player as I was ridiculously slow. Going to see if anything changes.
The most jarring thing so far is that they've moved post moves to L2 from triangle, which is now lob pass. I'm never going to use that, I'm exclusively mid to low pass, why would I try to throw it over the heads of 8ft giants? Stupid game.
The games harder and I'm not much faster. Oh well, at least I look like Allen Iverson.
I hate you both.
I've ordered it from Amazon and will have it tomorrow.
Apparently it turned up Friday too which is even more impressive considering it's officially out today, I just didn't get it until Sunday. Simplygames had a bit of a Royal Mail 'mare with FIFA last week, but everything I've got from them has been day before at the very latest. What a streak!
So I think I completed the 'movie' portion of the game. It's madness, absolute madness.
It's so fun being an inside out oreo.
White on the outside, pure black on the inside.
The friend is so fucking annoying.
So is this any/much different to 15?
Is it just me or is it easier to block shots?
Just played my second high school game and I got 5 blocks all in the first half.
High school is a piece of piss, College is slightly harder but not really at all and then you arrive in the NBA as absolute dogshit.
You should play through MyCareer just for the Spike Lee bit. It's bonkers. Or I could just link it here:
It involves murder coverups, blackmail, people dying of AIDS and much, much more.
Yeah, I think I got more blocks in my first 3 HS games than a whole season in the pros in 2k15.
Oh and I'm going to Kansas, daddy needs some of that corn.
I hated Kansas. I restarted and went to Georgetown as Allen Iverson.
'Frequency Vibrations', fucking hell.
Indiana Pacers are my NFL team (does everyone get them?), so shit.
I too got the pacers. Watch out for the team owner, he's a bastard and one that likes to throw around ebonics too.
I put up crazy numbers with my 6 foot 5 PG, I'll be his darling.
As Speed seems to have even less of an affect than it does normally and they've removed the "you're tall you're shite" points thing, You'll shine. Piece of absolute piss. Thhink you may as well create a 7'5" Point Guard at this point.
edit: BTW I'm just referring to the Spike Lee bit. You could score 45 points a game or 3 and it'd be the same.
6'7" is the tallest you can make a guy, which is what I had it on last years.
The problem is that I just love the drunk motions, especially if using a tall lad. I also don't have the discipline to play as a centre (you need some discipline right? I remember making a C in an edition years ago and getting run over constantly).
I'll probably make a tiny guy who can dunk like a fucking animal at one point though.
So I watched the Giant Bomb quick look last night. Jesus, Spike. Jesus.
3 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block.
Disgusting performance in my first NBA game, I couldn't get inside the paint at all and all my points came from free throws (50% conversation rate only)
Fucking hell, you weren't joking.
I just had my first meeting with him talking about 'Vic'.
He's absolutely bonkers.
How does the career start in this?
Some of the cutscenes are sooooooooooo fucking long.
Edit: It seems I have about 25 minutes left only \0/.
Went back to the Pacers on a 2 year contract with 320 coins a game and 22 minutes per game.
I'm struggling so much to get inside the paint in this version.
Pick and rolls aren't working and my guy has the turning circle of a Boeing 747 when attempting to dribble past someone.
I've gone to Georgetown because the recruiter wasn't super slimy, and because when I was in secondary school a load of kids had Georgetown Hoya Starter jackets. If I end up at the Charlotte Hornets, it'll be for the exact same reason.
