That 80 dollar edition.

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

Oh so the career mode will actually be a story this year, not just randomly triggered, meaningless cutscenes.

I'm interested now. I would get the pre-order joint, but even as a Bulls fan, I'm kinda over the whole Jordan homage thing. I'd like to see one for Iverson since he was the cover athlete for like the first 4-5 2K games.

Special edition is a bit disappointing. I'll be picking it up still.

Yeah a statue would have been nice or even a basketball. But it's only $20 dollars extra so I guess it's a good deal.

 

[D Kline]

Yeah a statue would have been nice or even a basketball. But it's only $20 dollars extra so I guess it's a good deal.

Now we're talking i hope everyone doesn't do the same crossover this yr. Shit i was playing with golden state . I had Curry on his shoot first pass last shit. I ended up dropping 63 and 15 with Curry.

My fellow splash brotha had 25. They ended up awarding Clay Thompson player of the game. They didn't even announce my points i scored in game vs the knicks. I'd hope they fix that shit

Its the principle. They're starting to take us fans for granted.

According to hosts Ronnie2K and LD2K, there will be five card tiers this year, which are only based on a player's overall rating:

1) Bronze
2) Silver
3) Gold
4) Amethyst
5) Diamond

The specific rating ranges for these tiers will be revealed at a later date.

Cards will also come with different themes, and three of those themes were detailed today (more will be announced later):

1) "Day One" theme -- The attribute ratings on these cards won't ever change, as they will be based on the initial roster that ships with NBA 2K16.

2) "Green" theme -- The attribute ratings on these cards will automatically change based on the game's regular roster updates. You will receive three of these cards just for preordering NBA 2K16.

3) "Special Moment" theme -- Whenever current NBA players produce buzzworthy moments in the upcoming season, Visual Concepts will create special edition cards featuring boosted attribute ratings. So if Kyrie Irving scores 50 points in a game again next year, he could get a Special Moment card with increased shooting and scoring attributes. You will be able to sell these cards on the auction house. Ronnie and Chris also hinted that these cards might be used as locker codes, or might possibly be in-game rewards that you have to earn/unlock.

The "Special Moment" Michael Jordan card (pictured at the top of this post) you'll receive for preordering the Jordan Edition of NBA 2K16 will have attribute ratings based off MJ's first career NBA game.

Pink Diamond cards will not be back for NBA 2K16, though locker codes will still exist in some form.

The auction house will be returning, though no specific changes or improvements were mentioned.

PRO-AM Trailer BreakDown

EA should really just give up. at this point and stop putting out sim basketball. Go back to making NBA Street. NBA 2KCrew mode / Pro-AM is where it at.

PRO-AM Trailer BreakDown



​

EA should really just give up. at this point and stop putting out sim basketball. Go back to making NBA Street. NBA 2KCrew mode / Pro-AM is where it at.

I don't think they should just give up completely.

Hey, i'm a 2K fan... But EA still has much better servers tho.

So EA still has a distinct advantage in 'online' gameplay & matchmaking... They just need to get their weight up ('on the court'), at this point. That's all.

I like these new modes that 2K will introduce in 2k16... But if 2K still hasn't done shit about their servers... It will be yet another FIASCO from launch day in September/October... until whenever they drop their first 'patch' in mid-December (about a week before X-mas) like they usually do, every year.

Overall 2K makes the much better NBA game... But unfortunately 2K has also gotten REAL lazy when it comes to 'testing' their game, since there has been zero competition on the shelf since 2k11 to FORCE them to improve their 'quality control'.

Last year alone 2K15 had major problems during the first few weeks with the game randomly kicking players offline, or just outright 'quitting' & shutting down completely. Plus tons of gamers were losing their 'VC' constantly because of all the 'crashes' & 'bugs'.

As a result, 2k15 earned the 'lowest rating' 2K has ever seen in the last decade from the vast majority of video game industry writers / reviewers / websites.

So the 'window is still open' for EA to be competitive again, imo... but it's closing fast.

Personally, I think 2017 might be the year when EA puts some 'worthy' competition on the shelf.

EA is catching up (little by little) every year. Seriously.

Think about it...

On launch day... if EA's new face-scan technology (using a mobile phone) works much quicker & much better than 2K's version did at launch last year... then shhhheeeeiiiiiiitttt....

Who knows? In a few years, NBA Gamers might start saying shit like...
- 2K will be the folks who 'invent it'... but EA will be the folks who 'perfect it'.
- And that's the kind of innovative stuff that can keep EA in the game.

Just saying.

Don't get me wrong, I fucking hate EA... in general... but COTDAMN their demonstration of a (10-second) face-scan using a mobile phone @ E3 this year was highly impressive especially when I think about 2K's facescan technology last year which took SEVERAL MINUTES to render and practically required 'studio lighting' plus 'multiple do-overs' to get it just right.



Just think back to Oct 2014, when 2K gamers were posting tutorials & rant videos on YouTube about 'how long' it took them to scan their face properly ... even the 2K Developers made a joke about it and asked gamers to tweet pics of their 'worst results' of their facescans.

wow cool...glad they're not limiting it to the kinect...that shit sucked

*edit*

just realized this was for EA not 2k...hopefully 2k follows suit
