Yeah I don't get it. How are we a free agent after one season? What happened to rookie contracts? Are they not a thing anymore?
And are we able to resign with our team?

I'm guessing they did it this way so that you have a chance to play with someone else since you don't exactly have control over the draft.
Yeah, I preordered weeks ago for the Jordan edition, changed my mind about owning it, and I was supposed to get it today. It didn't even ship until today. I'll be returning it when it comes. Shouldn't say "FREE RELEASE DATE SHIPPING" if they dont actually intend to do it. Store pick up for me from now on

UI menu this year is amazing.
This year is definitely better written than what we got last year based on what I've seen so far.
I'm pretty impressed actually, especially with the career mode improvements.
You can skip the stupid cutscenes, teammate AI is better (once you get to NBA), and the story isn't quite as cringeworthy.
Rebounding has improved tremendously as well. You're no longer getting your rebounds ripped away by point guards as a 6'10 PF with A- rebounding stat
Utah and Brooklyn are not that bad......lol
But my PG who is 6'1 can fucking jump and grab rebounds...... In high school lol.Also L2 was originally the post button 3-4 years ago before they switched it to triangle. What fucked me over was the pick and roll being moved

Can anyone confirm pre-loaded 2K16 on PSN or XBL unlocks right away? since some of us missed the early DD release. If not I'll grab it at GS or BB.
Just grab there anyways, there's been a plethora of download issues today. Plus it's 52GG

This was the end to my first game today. Definitely a great way to start the year! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYPpQDaYcZo

Awesome! Love the Gasol celebration at the end. They nailed the celebration and player reactions this year it seems. Really appropriate.

I agree, nothing seems out of place and it makes the game feel more alive to me.

any shooting tips? i cannot get a rhythm going...shot meter does nothing for me because it's impossible to hit anywhere near the mark.

Hitting the mark isn't 100% either. What's your position and style that you chose?
Edit: those celebrations are awesome! It was weird hitting a game finals winner and they just kind of look like they made a game winner in pre season lol. It was awkward
How do you transfer your guy from 2K15?

I didn't think it was possible but the more I play the worse I get...lol
You know you're having a terrible time when you make the Knicks look like the greatest defense of all time...ugh

So is there really a 200k buying vc for free glitch on PC or is that just trolling?

Man the game feels sluggish as hell and I can't even blow past people. I'm a sg for Christ sakes, the ai are always on top of you.

Anyone sucking in their rookie year? I can't do shit. At this point, I'm attempting to just get to the end of the story.

Yup, I don't know if it the usual lack of VC in your player or if it's the sluggishness of the game this year:/
Going from college to the NBA, it feels like my guy is running in mud now.

It makes sense when you consider your player's rating even if it does make things hard.
They changed the button for that.

Seems especially bad this year though. I'll see how it is once I get my rating up, but as of now gameplay is a step back from 2k15.
It's really tough to drive by guys, even when you get them in the air or the first step. They're always on you, especially on hall of fame. Plays are almost a necessity. ISO ball is near useless (which is good and bad). But Westbrook and Roberson look like the best defenders ever lol
IIRC you start off with a lower rating than in other years and they improved the defense this year. People were getting away with dumb things in previous years so now they are trying to force us to actually work for shots

I have VC I just don't want to use it because I feel like it might be a waste for right now. Especially since I'm not getting much
This is true and I like the challenge but it does get frustrating when you, your character can't even knock down open jumpers. That's where it just upsets me. I get good looks, I'm chilling, almost perfect release but nothing. Even free throwing is a joke. I'm worst than the rookies I'm playing with. It makes no sense lol
