That's not actually an official trailer, btw. It's a fan creation using footage from some of the teasers 2k has released and old footage from 2k15, it looks like.

I really hope the online play isn't a barely functional mess, both in general and on PC specifically, but who am I kidding.


Glumslinger you guys make a really genuinely awesome game but balls up the online stuff every single year without fail and it sucks.

I'm so excited to move a mediocre franchise to Seattle, go through ups and downs for 30 years, and subsequently move to Tulsa to establish a natural Oklahoma rivalry. I just want my virtual children to experience my heartbreak too.

I'm just gonna see if the game will let me move the Thunder back to Seattle, to be honest.

FAT WORM OF ERROR posted:

Lot of decent additions, I'm not thrilled that Domination seems to be the same as last year. It encouraged you to play in a completely unrealistic way (always go for assists, take one three pointer and if you hit it no more, let the AI take uncontested shots so you have more time) so you can rack up the MT.

Yeah but I only found that stuff really necessary in the last 4 or 5 teams, before that I was able to just play (with some extra focus on fast breaks and assists and stuff but still). We'll see if they've changed the formula up at all.

From what I heard (from last weeks stream) was all the guys that got invited over get to talk about it tomorrow and then the full reveal is on tuesday because Ronnie and LD do a stream on tuesdays.

So from what I'm reading the story mode part ends once you get to the nba?

Like, it ends completely, no more cutscenes, none of the stuff from the last couple games (especially 2k14) that continues your first couple of seasons?

e: Because I mean, it's overdone sometimes, but I like that stuff, it's what makes the 2k career mode unique after all, and if all that goes away after the first couple hours or whatever, well that's kind of a bummer.

2k has some of the best offline content of any sports games. It's right up there with FIFA.

I get you got to make the cover boys top players(as they should) but making them higher overall than kd is just silly

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.

I hope launch goes well :ohdear:

Just as a piece of feedback by the way, I know your hype men (ronnie and LD and the crew) are trying to get hype levels to maximum with this continual dribbling of info and teasing stuff but by this point it's definitely gone a bit overboard. The game is gonna be out in like 2-3 days and we don't even have official info about all the game modes or in depth stuff about some of the ones that have been revealed, and that's pretty dumb.

I don't even know what part of 2k you work at or whatever but holy crap it's just annoying now.


Oh, and it would be nice to know when or if the PC preload is gonna happen.

The budget to make a server withstand 2k's opening week is probably enough to fund another tripe-A game

Oh I mean for sure it's gonna be an issue no matter what at first, but the servers and many online functions remain in various states ranging from "barely functional" to "completely broken" for the entire year, and if you play on PC like me it's almost always trending towards completely broken. But I hope this year is a pleasant surprise Glumslinger, it would be awesome to have it both be an awesome single player NBA game and be the awesome multiplayer game that it can and should be.

From the official twitter: "You can now pre-load #NBA2K16 on @steam_games! You can play on Thur. 9/24 @ 9pm PST (midnight EST) if you pre-order! "

What's the point of preloading when decrypting the files takes just as long as the download :negative:

If your internet is that fast you should know better (or if your hard drive is that slow). It's still generally worth it because you never know how the download servers are gonna be at the time of release.

Unfortunately that's not what I'm experiencing. I'm getting the stuttering during gameplay and when it happens the game becomes unplayable.

The user reviews on Steam are currently "Mostly Negative".

So yeah, never preorder.

The user reviews seem mostly to whine about the bad keyboard controls (duh), how spike lee hates white people, how frequency vibrations is a stupid name, how sports games are garbage for idiots, etc though. Read the steam forum for the game if you want to see the kind of people who bombed it with negative reviews (they're insane morons, basically). Not that all the negative reviews are bullshit, but probably a pretty large percentage of them though.

It sucks that you're having stuttering, although something similar happened last year and they patched it pretty quickly IIRC, so there's hope.

I just want my preorder items though, some tasty cards for myteam would be nice.


e: Actually most of them seem to be about the keyboard controls. Who the gently caress plays games like this with a keyboard in 2015?
