NBA 2K16 (A Spike Lee Joint) - Official Thread

How does the online quick matches work. I normally wait anfew days before I play head to head. I went into the menu and they gave me the Lakers. I have them listed as my favorite team but do they randomly give you a low rank team until you rank up.

Online still works the same. They have all the teams broken up into 3 tiers. You get bonuses for winning games with weaker teams

I played a game today. It's not exactly the same. You don't know your opponents team until the match starts. I don't mind playing with weaker teams but I know teams people are going to be running with super teams. I changed my team selection to the Cavs. Kyrie still has the a easy release. Won my first game against a guy who picked the Bulls. They are gonna have to patch the jersey color selection. It should be automatic choice if you're home or away. People are going to be playing with the same jersey colors.

Agreed on the jersey thing. I ran 2 games wearing the same color as dude i was playing. And as far as not knowing your opponent you can dashboard and and quit the game and it won't count against you as long as you do it b4 the game starts

Yeah I know the dashboard trick. The other issue with the mathups are the lag. I could tell if the other person had a bad connection while I scroll through the teams. I see that you get 2 plus wins instead of one based off the lower ranking of the team you choose. I'll run with my Lakers later.
 
Which sliders do you change on fouls to have fouls called against CPU, you raise Your sliders or the CPU sliders?


Anyone ever figure this out or does the game coding still not increase calls vs CPU regardless? :angry::angry::angry:
 
How you throw the Oop on Xbox One? Going to the baja, I need those highlights! :D

Double press Y.

BTW for those that don't know. You get VC for watching episodes and interacting with NBA Tv. They're ask you questions during episodes that requires a button press.
 
You ain't ever lied. Kinda pissin me off

I lost it when his mom called him "Frequency" :lol:

She could've called the nigga Quincy, like "-quency" or something. I need a better nickname, B.

If they don't get the fuck outta here with this corny ass, science fair project nickname, man...

Yea that shit throwing me off. I was about 3 games in b4 i realized they were talking about me when they said that dumb ass name.

On a Sidenote I'm retiring for the night at 12-1 with 2 trophies in the varsity league
 
I gotta say it:

"Frequency Vibrations" is the dumbest fucking nickname ever.

Yeah man, its for sure a product of Spike Lee's imagination, sounding like a character from DTRT or Crooklyn.

BTW anybody peep the slimy Italian agent name dropping Sal's Pizzeria? I see you Spike lol
 
FYI to those who don't know like my dumb ass, you need to use your VC on Myplayer before you start the games cause you're LOCKED at whatever VC level of attributes and such all the way through COllege!!!

:angry::angry::angry::angry:
 
Thanks my first game was horrible :smh:

Yeah had to do my char over too.

Spent my VC and got top schools, went Uconn and played first game, busted ass but the ball and coding doing everything they can you jerk you around so you have to play super smart or get jerked nonstop.

Xbox one
Imnotfunny


Rebounding and layups are so much more realistic and controlled now.... Definitely best 2k out

I caught that too, when he mentioned Sal's pizza. :lol::lol: Hilarious.

Actually, I was waiting for the agent to say something like... his cousins are "Moe & Josh Flatbush" (the 2 owners of the nightclub in Mo' Betta Blues - John & Nicolas Tuturro :D)
 
a lot of reviews (mostly from bullshit sites tho) are complaining about the character's family being black and how awkward it is if the player you create isn't black :lol: #getoverit

hey quick question can you create your own team/uniforms in myleague or can you only do it myGM...?

also is it possible to use your created myplayer in myleague or myGM...?

I have the game but it's still in the wrapper...so I don't wanna take it out so I can return it if the game doesn't measure up to/surpass 2k15 based on reviews comments etc
 
The storyline in MyCareer mode was cool. It was like a whole movie was put into the game. Props to Spike. He did his thing.

But I really like the "Off-Day" calendar, where you decide what do in your spare time to gain VC, or improve your player. It's brilliant.

Next year tho, instead of making separate 'cut scenes' like a movie, 2K should integrate smaller 'cut scenes' into the "Off-Day" events and let the gamers access them in a non-linear fashion.

For example:

Say you open up the off-day menu after you just played the Cavs... and one of the options today is 'sign an endorsement contract with (x) sponsor'... If you select that, you get a 'cut-scene' of you and your agent having a discussion about offers he's working on... And he tells you about Nike, Brand Jordan, or Gatorade, etc. or anybody else.

When the cut-scene footage finishes, you are back in the off-day menu and get to select the brands you want to sign an endorsement deal with.

(Now You could choose a few brands & sign deals right away, or wait until you win more games & accolades and your stock rises a lot more - to get a bigger payday.)

Shheeeeiittt...

2k could create lots of little cut-scenes for multiple aspects/events that occur on your off-day (which may or may not affect how you perform on the court)

Stuff like....

- Sign a deal with Gatorade, and your stamina/turbo meter increases on the court so you can run faster for longer periods of time.

- or Attend charity events, to get more fans to unlock certain dunk packages, or MyPark moves.

- or Throw a BBQ or birthday party for some of your teammates, and your team chemistry improves. (And different teammates have different 'team chemistry' bonuses. You decide.)

- Spend a few off-days (ie 'quality time') during the season with your family (or girlfriend) to unlock exclusive gear, sneakers, tattoos or accessories in the Store.

- or Take some acting lessons on your off-days to increase your marketability to get special endorsement offers, like additional in-game commercials. (Like the sneaker commercial in 2k15)

- visit Ernie, Shaq & Kenny at the TNT studios on your off-day, if you are interested in a broadcasting career after you retire from the NBA. (To gain extra VC)

- or visit your college alma mater on your off-day, if you are interested in a coaching career after you retire from the NBA. (To gain extra VC)

And lots of these types of off-day events could have short 3-5 minute cut-scenes created for them.

Maybe some cannot even be unlocked until your 2nd, or 3rd year... Or unless you make the All-star team. Or if you win the dunk contest. Or if you make the playoffs, or win a championship.

There's lots of possibilities.
