    Excellent gameplay, but MyCareer is cheese.

    The one game mode I always look forward to seeing them improve on, is still lacking something. The story/acting in MyCareer is pure cheese, and what made it worse was that I had to sit through several long cut scenes. Gameplay wise, it's still fluid and very fun to play. It has all the game modes from last year, with slightly improved visuals and a couple of control changes. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could.

    Nice additions to 2k16

    The gameplay for the game is a little different from last year 2k. I like the new pick n roll feature they added to the gameplay. The MyCareer is much beter than last year. Last year story was ridiculous. it would've been better with no story last year/. This year story was actually pretty good. I didn't like all that drama, but it was better watching all that drama than last year MyCareer repetitive story. Hopefully 2k keeps doing this for mycarreer for the first year. I like that the second year doesn't have a story. You have the freedom since you're not a rookie anymore. It's kind of like that in real life. Next time hopefully, they will get a different director, or just a different screenwriter.

    Yet another excellent NBA game from 2K Sports

    EA must be crying in their offices, seeing that 2K is killing them with this franchise. Great graphics, game play, music, you name it. The story mode is stupid, but that's the only downside to the game. It excels in everything else. Best NBA game to date, and one for any fan of basketball to have. Highly recommend.

    NBA 2k16 raises the bar yet again, not just for basketball sims but for all sports simulations. The graphics and gameplay are a notch above 2k15, it definitely has a more realistic feel to it. A must buy for NBA fans/gamers!!!!

    Better than NBA Live 16 by Far

    I will keep it short. This game goes beyond what a basketball Sim could offer you. It sets the bar for sports games from now into the future. Myplayer to online gameing NBA 2k16 pushes more than what I expected from last year 2k15. Please 2k don't change this game even next year if you do make changes keep this one the same and add on more where this one come up short even though I do not think it comes up short. . It's hitting hard. Love this wonderful game. Peace!

    Solid Basketball Game

    I buy NBA 2K every year and 2K Sports continues to impress with the level of detail. The myGM mode is insanely detailed, so if you enjoy micromanaging every aspect of your franchise, this is for you. It's gone up another level from last year and now you can move your franchise with league approval. The defense in game has actually improved compared to 2K15. It's tougher to drive to the basket against the CPU and you pretty much need to run plays in order to get guys open which makes the game more realistic. NBA Live doesn't hold a candle to NBA 2K. Don't think too hard. Buy this game if you are a basketball fan or buying for a basketball fan. You won't be disappointed.

    The NBA 2K series deserves applause, because while they have a monopoly on the basketball gaming series, unlike EA Sports, they challenge themselves to improve each year. This year is no different. The changes may not be astronomical, but they're certainly noticeable.

    This new NBA2k16 is the best game of the franchise. The story could be a bit more put together as it seems like it's missing so much. But the game itself is great. You can't go wrong with investing in this game.
