I've played 2k for years but it's the first time I play it on xbox. The feature I like in 2k16 is the new way to pass, which really extend my arsenal. Perfect game. Definitely will buy 2k17.

NBA 2K 16's strong fundamental basketball smarts, world-class presentation, and multitude of options make it the most ambitious sports game I've ever played.

Excellent basketball intelligence; Outstanding presentation; Engaging story mode; Online leagues are back

Learning new controls (AGAIN; Need to suspend disbelief in story

NBA 2K16 is still at the top of its game in the most important areas: gameplay, visuals and content. The franchise's most revered mode, MyCareer, has been ruined by a jarring story that forces six-hours of impersonal plot.

+ Tight gameplay; bounce and lob passes; + Online Leagues are back; + Endless hours of gameplay with a stack of great modes

It's time for tip-off as NBA 2K16 brings another year of basketball to home consoles and PC. This year features a host of improvements on and off the court from defensive control to the career mode, enhanced by film director Spike Lee.

New modes and features make a bit better than its predecessor, but the clumsy controls and unbalanced gameplay keeps greatness out of reach yet again. Simply put, if the gameplay doesn't feel right in one mode, it doesn't feel right in any of them, regardless of how clever they are or how good it...

Authentic presentation; New modes

Terrible defense; Stiff animations; Input lag

NBA 2K16 is 2K's latest basketball simulation and once again they have done a great job. There is so much to do here from your standard exhibition play, to MyCareer, MyTeam, MyLeague and much more.

The NBA has evolved in the years since I began watching the sport. From the Showtime Lakers and Bad Boy Pistons in the ‘80s, to the Seven Seconds or Less Suns and the Small Ball Warriors, two things have stood out to me during the past 20-odd years: one, I'm now old; and two, while the NBA took...

CHEF SERVES THE BEST. Unlike many other sports, like Football, Basketball is all about Possession Keeping. If you lose your possession, you stand to concede more than 3 points at [...]

Detailed and Realistic Presentation; Focus on Defence; Refined On/Off Ball Movement and Animation; Refined My Career Mode; New Match Modes: Gauntlet; PRO AM; 3-points/Alley-Oop spamming eliminated

Outdated Audio Presentations; Online Server Problems (yes they're back!; Facial Glitches and Lip Syncing fails during interviews

The game is very good and clear, can't seem to get myself off it

Good quality
