8 Reasons NBA 2K16 Could Be The Best Basketball Game Ever

2. Better Gameplay

A lot of the previously mentioned features of NBA 2K16 will come together to make the gameplay a slicker experience on the whole, changes such as the improved AI and more realistic player ratings. However, specific alterations have also been made by the 2K developmental team which should have a much more direct influence on the way the game handles. A major change is the revamp of battles in the post. The post-game is expected to feel a lot slicker, hopefully giving you more control over your player on both offence and defence. In previous instalments, backing an opponent down in the post has felt almost like a quicktime event or compulsory animation sequence, especially when compared to the ultra-smooth gameplay elsewhere. It'll be exciting to see if 2K have successfully remedied this previous weakness. There will now also be three dedicated pass buttons, hopefully giving a far greater variety of offensive options - although the more extravagant or difficult passes will sensibly be exclusive to point guards and other particularly gifted playmakers.
