    I liked 2K15 and wanted the updated teams for 2k16. The change in having to control your off days is fun. However, I don't like the story as it makes you choose from colleges I don't care about. Also, I don't think the story is appropriate for younger kids to watch. This is very disappointing as my son wanted to play but I'm not letting him.

    NBA 2K16 is another great entry into the series. The MyCareer mode is hampered by the Spike Lee stuff, though the story is still interesting and well-acted. Gameplay is awesome which is the most important thing.

    I am a casual player, and so far I have enjoy this one the best on the PS4. Game plays amazingly and looks great. Not a ton of needs for changing sliders if you are a casual or normal player. Worth the purchase.

    I love this year's NBA 2K16. Passing has been improved. Now there are buttons for lobe passes and bounce passes. Players are more balanced. Story mode has also improved. Awesome graphics and ton of content!

    Best 2K Graphics To Date

    If you are a fan of the NBA 2K franchise you definitely won't be disappointed. This seasons graphics are the best so far. The game play is much smoother than last year's. One of my favorite improvements is the post position play. They simplified it and made it more user friendly. Still room for improvement, but I recommend it.

    Still the best NBA game out there. Only thing I don't like is the story mode in MyPlayer. Before you had just a schedule and a locker room. Now you have to go through HS, college, family, friends. It all seems a waste of time and takes away from the core of the game. Other than that, fun to play with friends online or local!

    NBA 2K games never disappoint, and 2K16 kept with the trend. Though I do wish they would finally fix passing, tired of driving to the lane and the pass going to the corner when I have a cutter wide open.

    I didn't think that the NBA2K series can get any better, but the new features were great. Only minor issue I noticed is that some of the commands have changed, so it'll take some time to get used to.

    To my surprise, 2k keep finding ways to improve their game. Player models/animation is great and the gameplay is smooth and real. Like the previous 2k games this is a must buy for any sports fan!

    Getting to play with a college team is cool, but MyCareer mode is NOT as good as it has been in the past. The Spike Lee story doesn't give you the "choices" it makes you seem you will get to make. Gameplay is the best it has ever been though, the best in the series. Overall, a good game for any basketball fan.

    The graphics on this game is amazing. You can create a player to look like you and pay against "old school" NBA teams. The game is a lot of fun.

    If you like basketball this is the one for you! I've played a bunch of basketball games & 2k is the best & this time with 2k16 you get a little story with the My Career mode, The Park is fun & they're other modes to check out as well, I would definitely recommend this game to anyone that's into sports games!

    This game itself is one of the greatest sports games I've ever played. Awesome graphics, excellent game play, 5 stars. I'm just disappointed in Best Buy as they refused to honor my preorder bonus. What was the point of preordering and waiting for the midnight release? I won't be preordering again.

    What can I say, 2k keeps getting better and better. The controls feels tighter and more responsive. So many modes to choose from and will keep you entertained for months to come.

    Another great step forward in video game basketball game play and presentation. I felt like the MyPlayer mode regressed and the Spike Lee involvement was overblown and unnecessary, but the rest of the game is the NBA2K we all know and love! Go Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors!

    Basically if you're a fan of previous entries to this series then you'll love this game. Updated animations and graphics make it seem even more realistic. Highly recommend.

    NBA 2K16 simply put, is the best basketball video game I have ever played in my life. It improves upon 2K15 and makes it the most realistic title to date. Worth the money!
