Lots of game modes, gameplay drastically improved, even the online play is more stable than those of years past. Spike Lee story is forgettable though.

I'm pleasantly surprised! The graphics are improved! They're not as good as 2K16 on PS4/Xbox One, but they seem like downgraded 2K14 PS4/X1 graphics. The modes haven't been touched, though. The commentary has been updated with Greg Anthony, of course. The new legends teams are NOT in the game, but they have added Kareem and Eric Snow to the teams they were on. Some players like Langston Galloway and Jordan Clarkson are CAPs, sadly. Other than that, the gameplay is much better than 2K15. Not as good as 2K16 on X1 or PS4, but definitely better than 2K15 last gen.

NBA 2k16 is one of my favorites in the 2k series so far. Graphics, routines and the little details are captured beautifully in the game. 2k's fresh attempt at myCareer was cool with Spike Lee trying to direct a documentary about your character, wish it was more fleshed out but definitely something I'd like to see in future games. Some minor gripes: not a fan of the new system for substitutions while in game and I wish 2k would stop messing with the control scheme every year. Having to re-learn some of the advanced controls every year is an annoyance.

First of all, I am NOT a big fan of basketball. However, I do enjoy most sports games and this one has been very good to me. The various ratings in MyCareer mode take some getting used to, but don't worry too much, you'll get it. The ability to earn VC through the app is helpful for the beginning stages, but later becomes not as important.
Now. The most polarizing part of this game. SPIKE LEE. You will either love this part or hate it, but I think it's a good try to make a player's back story more important than random in-game commentary

I've watched and played a lot of basketball and NBA 2K16 looks ever closer to the real thing and feels like solid basketball. Th AI players do a great job of running plays and helping on defense. Still a couple nagging issues like unreliable highlights at the end of the game, but with how great it plays, those seem forgivable.

This game gets better every year by far. The new career storyline is more personal and allows you to control so much more then b4. The graphics are pretty much the same but the overall smoothness of the gameplay has gotten better which I didn't think was possible. I'm a fan for life.

I haven't played the my player mode. However I have played online and the gameplay is smooth. New controls, u may have to get used to. U can download rosters and or create players and use them in my gm mode. This is the best basketball game I have ever played. Best 2k in my opinion.
