NBA 2K16 – Developer plans major shift to evaluate game throughout the season
This year, the developers of NBA 2K16 will be putting up the first major play update a month into the season after they've done some evaluation on the new coaches, their assignments and while they're tracking the trends that teams come up with. The existing freelance offenses will be upgraded and yes, practice plays are making a comeback. NBA 2K16 will now allow the gamer to practice your defences in the 5 vs. 5 mode.
Another feature added is that with NBA 2K16, a player can go back in history, look up the historic wins and plays, the strategies that those teams used. NBA 2K16 claims a person can go back till the 60s, see how the Chin Offense originated and get a chance to see a young Jordan run his game sets.
Some of the other new things added in the NBA 2K16 are: the dynamic pick and roll module where the roll or fade man will read the defense and try to plug the gaps or go to open areas thus opening up the game. There are also changes in the A.I. so that the 1 vs. 1 attack is not just dribbling, but breaking down the different defensive positions. The new A.I. will understand your move, gauge your response and make its next decision so you are facing a formidable opponent.
With the NBA 2K16, players have three offensive options – freelance, motion and space the floor. The freelance offensive contains 21 freelance moves and the motion offensive contains 8 moves.
Operation Sports has put in player-specific defensive behaviour and crowd system. According to Operation Sports, "We really wanted to make elite defenders feel special. When you play against a Kawhi Leonard or a Tony Allen, they feel like they're constantly "bodying" you all night. They wear you down in real life, and they're going to wear you down in NBA 2K16. We didn't stop there, different defenders will react differently to particular moves. Be prepared to take what the defense gives you."
You can pre-order the NBA 2K16: Early Tip-off Edition and NBA 2K16 Michael Jordan Special Edition. By doing this, you get the game 4 days earlier and lots of free stuff.
NBA 2K16 will be released on September 29, 2015. Happy playing.
