    NBA 2KXX Games Thread

    Some of you might recall me getting involved with NBA 2K15, so much so I even managed to understand how all the trade (and other such nonsense) rules worked.

    Then I got slightly bored of it and due to the combination of the ludicrously small bone hard drive and a staggering 50GB+ install size, it had to go.

    Well, I'm pleased to report that having hooked a 4TB hard drive up to the bad boy, NBA 2K15 is now back in business.

    I was tempted to buy NBA2K16, but given I don't keep up with the sport in real life, I figure what's the point?

    Anyone still playing these games?

    I played 2K16 and just couldn't get into it like I did with 15.

    I hated Spike Lee's story and when playing I felt it just didn't play as well as 15.

    Hoping 17 is a lot better.

    Yeah, I never really got into the career mode on 15, but the Spike Lee stuff on 16 looked dreadful.

    I was really enjoying 2k14 until I broke the 3 pointers record halfway through the season and then when I cranked the difficulty up and started a new save I never really got into it the same even though I was doing okay.

    Does anyone know what the default camera angle for NBA2K15 was?

    I pissed around with it during a My Career game and now I've no idea.

    MyCareer on 16 is shite.

    MyLeague seems pretty good so far from what I've seen so far considering I only picked up a copy Wednesday.

    @Yevrah I use 2k personally...

    Is there a new one of these out recently? Is this the best basketball game? Is the career mode decent + can I manage a team (and buy/sell players etc.)? Is it a bit shit, like FIFA's career mode?

    I'm tempted to pick it up as I've not played one for ages. I used to enjoy the Dreamcast B-ball game.

    MyLeague has a franchise mode and you can relocate teams on 16 as far as I'm aware.

    It's pretty much the only basketball game. Do EA even bother any more?

    I've got the latest but the Spike Lee joint didn't do much for me and I haven't got into it like I did the MyPlayer mode a year or two before where my Utah Jazz tenure was all passive-aggressive plane journeys and ending with me fighting Richard Jefferson in the Thunderdome.

    I loved the Spike Lee stuff, you could see the massive amount of money money spent on it for something that was the level of a highschool talent show play. It was incredible in a purely "How the fuck did this get past production?" way.

    They do but it's so bad.

    I play the demo every year and can't believe there's more than 1 person working on it. Although 14 was the worst, it got absolutely slammed. I think mid 40's were the best reviews for it.

    The best was the year where they shipped the game and then called them back a day or two later, never releasing it because the game was so bad.

    I thought they'd just waved the white flag at that point, surprised they're still trying. Has the EA series ever been up to much? The only other basketball game I liked other than 2K was the old Total NBA series on PS1.

    It's weird how EA can't get their shit together in this, as they seem to beast every other sports game.

    Is this the newest game? When's the next one out?

    The current season is still going, the NBA 2k games normally come out around November.

    They're doing the weekly stats updates like all sports games now and they've apparently had to make Steph Curry's 3 point shooting >99 to make it realistic in the game

    They're also rubbish at MMA (THQ's undisputed games were so much better than EA's two thus far) and not that great at American Football (far too many things broken in the NFL game and the Ultimate Team mode is laughable as it's so obvious it's one giant money grab from EA).

    So between the point I stopped playing this originally and reinstalling it they've fucked around with the rosters. Carter-Williams is no longer at the 76ers, for example.

    Most interestingly however there's a 16 year old rated 68 on the free agent list called Matt Simon. Is he real and what's the deal with him?

    He's real.

    It's pretty cool.

    Imagine being 16, getting into a video game, getting a prom date hooked up and hanging with some cheerleaders. Fucking hell.

    With the current NBA laws it'd be impossible to have a 16 year old player. All players need to have one year in college before signing for the NBA.

    Free on PS+ to download in June.

    I'll be back in the game then until 17 drops.

    Was 15 on PS+ too? I might not bother buying 17 and just wait, get something that actually makes the subscription worthwhile.

    When I first got it, everything downloaded fine but when I went to play it just wouldn't get online and I couldn't play my old save game because it defaulted to save to the cloud. Despite me playing the game on this very PS4 it's clearly mental that a save game wouldn't be placed on the PS4 so I could play it offline, that's clearly thinking too far out of the box.

    Decided to uninstall and then reinstall but it's taking fucking forever to finish the whole thing and it keeps cutting out if I don't load the game up. Utter shambles.

    Doubt I'll be breaking any more single game records. That rebound stat in particular is fucking obscene, my best is 17.

    Oh and this is probably my favourite thing I've done thus far:

    It was a begrudgingly given assist too. I was being triple teamed and there was no chance of getting space so had to feed LeBron in

    Made up for it in the next game with around 15 or so though.

    Edit: I'm also playing a lot of minutes at shooting guard to make room for that hack, Kyrie Irving.

    First playoff game and I set a new record for steals with 18, 16 of which came against Kyle 'Where did I put the ball' Lowry.

    Glorious.

    I did foul out right at the end of the third quarter so I'd have broken 20 I feel had the refs not been so whistle happy.

    Edit: The Raptors are my bitch:





    Quad double before the half finishing with:



    Oh and here's some epicness from Kyle Lowry:

    Does anyone have a clue how I can put which draft players I want into a custom draft class on NBA 2K20?

    They have all the real drafts going back to 1980 ish, but I can't for the life of me work out how I mix and match players from each.

    MyTeam is a lot better than career I'm finding.

    Saved up enough MT to buy PG Giannis (for about 120k cheaper than market value too) who is absolutely filthy.
