Ddin't they already do the connections thing in the old games? You clicked some button saying you 'opened a school' or something and you gained more fans and thats it. I hope it'll be more fleshed out than that

EA made the faces completely symmetrical. No human face is. I think that's a big reason they look scary.

It's cool the game has colleges in it but I wish they had licensed the rights to more. Missing one of the cover athlete's schools is weird. Pumped for this game, maybe I'll finally play something besides Mario Maker again.

Does anyone have a problem with shot blocking on 2K? I'll get Ty Lawson throwing up some weak underhanded poo poo against Ibaka and it won't get close. With all the upgrades to D this year, I'm betting it's better. I pre-order a long time ago, and for some reason thought it came out Oct. 16th, so I was so happy yesterday when I realized I can play all weekend. I might have to delete Destiny so I'm not tempted.

Players track the ball better this year and instead of ibaka picking a direction to swat at the ball he will try to block the ball directly. The defense looks much improved this year and I honestly think it was the focus of this dev cycle


There is no way that the 2K servers don't melt down at 12am on Friday

I never had trouble racking up blocks, but then again 2k for some reason always made PGs better shot blockers than actual bigs.

Every game not made by Nintendo.

I hope launch for 2k16 goes better than 15. Really excited to do a stacked MyLeague mode with tons of classic teams replacing current ones. Running the '03 Mavs franchise in the modern NBA is going to be a lot of fun. The plan is to keep Nash and trade back for Tyson Chandler. (or offer everything but Nash/Dirk if any franchise wants to trade a HOF center.)

Because of unreliable servers, in recent as a couple months ago I couldn't play because of server issues so I ended up making an offline profile because I never play multiplayer.

I think it's probably 'worth it' if you get the physical edition since you get some physical irl items, if you're getting the digital edition the only worthwhile things are the unique card (which is pretty low-rated) and the VC. Not sure how much $ to VC is but I imagine it's quite close in value.

I think 35000 VC was $10 this year, so if you are the type to buy VC anyways it might be worth it for you

Nice that those who pre-order the game get the rights to beta test the servers over the weekend.

Don't worry, the servers will still be majorly hosed from Monday-forever so everyone will get it join in.

If anything the preorder weekend will be better than full release

So is this game going to use VC again as currency to purchase upgrades/stats? I have like 100k leftover from 2k15. Does that carry over?

It does not. I was talking to a tech today.

He means without the online connection stuff like VC, etc, I think. It has the best career mode and league and gm stuff of any sports game for sure.

KD barely played last year, so I think it's fair. If he has a good year this year I'm sure they'll bump him back up a couple points over the course of the season with their roster changes.
