Holy ****, I can't wait to play as the Wolves. Can't believe we're 5th overall, that must mean Wiggs/Zach are pretty high & Rubio is probably still a 79-80.

It seems really high hahaha. I do believe wolves have one of the most talented rosters on paper but wolves should be capped at around 15th until they have a winning season.

Is that legit or did KAT have it customized or something. Maybe he put prime KG lol

Wiggins is an 82, He wasn't happy about it and tweeted that's why he plays COD

according to this site: https://thereal2kinsider.blogspot.de/

Ricky 77
Dunn 77

Zach 78

G 77
Belly 75
KG 74

KAT 88
Hill 76
Pek 74

so KAT probably edited himself to 99 for that team screenshot.

Ten guys at 74 and above is not common...our depth is a major plus.

Also, for whatever reason this guy has Aldrich still on LAC.

He also has curry at 94 and lebron at 96. I would think curry would be higher than that

Been ballin' out lately on 2k16 on the 360, so much so that I'm putting off my XBox 1 upgrade.

Started a new MyPlayer about a week ago, this time as an athletic SG. First attribute I improved considerably was 3-point shooting, and now I'm very tough to stop. I'd say at least 75% of my points come from the 3-point line and I'm shooting about 55% from there halfway through the season.

Normally I try to force my way to the Wolves (and that's why I wanted to be a SG this time), but I landed in the perfect spot for me in Indiana. Paul George is a great asset to take defensive attention away from me, and if I get doubled it's near automatic points if I get the ball to him.

Not sure where the 82 for Wiggins came from, but the one leaked screen shot of the twolves roster also showed Wiggins an F on 3 pointers, same source had draymon green a D- even though he shot 38% last year. I know Wiggins is a 30% 3 pt shooter but watching him you get the feeling he could get those numbers up. Especially after what he did post all-star break (41℅) if 2k took potential into question (and they did in a big way with towns) you would think Wiggins would have been given same treatment going Into year three. Should be 83\84.

Also hope when I get the game I dont have to edit Lavine's speed. One of the fastest players in the league and he didnt break the 90's in 2k16.

PS4 had their big reveal today for their new ssystem. Its called the PS4 Pro and will retail for $399. Its not as powerful as some thought but if yo have a high end 4K TV you should be good. The $299 newer slim PS4 or Xbox one are great choices. I def think you should consider upgrading to either one at around $250, 2K is a big step up from the 360 version.

Solid idea. I think Black Friday will be the best time to strike in that case. Could see some crazy bundles.

The PS4 has been out for what 3 years now though? A better question is what in the blue hell took you so long to get an amazing system?

Fallout 4 wasn't out yet. Probably still wouldn't have gotten it, but they forced my hand only releasing it for next gen.

Just watching Chris Smoove's videos, but it seems that MyCareer story mode is once again - a disaster. I don't know is it just me, but man I hate all these cut scenes, they are so bad. Again, its not a power fantasy about YOURSELF, its not You in a mode, you play as completely different person, President of Basketball this time, facepalm. And ok, thats the way most games are, but man, at least make your playable character likable... Maybe thats just old cynic in me talking, but I can't relate with these kids at all.
Not to mention, that everyone who is not American is alienated even more. And I haven't even seen Micheal B. Jordan yet... Man oh man.

One thing I didn't like about the gameplay, judged purely on youtube video, is that ball handlers do not protect the ball at all, as usual. It's just college footage I've seen, but I hate that there is no protect the ball animations. When a point guard has lesser handle, he protects the ball with his body/ass, 2k players doesn't seem to do that, they just keep dribbling like defender is not even there. Smoove cleaned that guys pockets like 10 times in 6 minutes.

One nit pick about the graphics, why players' arm pits are so damn hairy, its like a black hole in there?

2K already considers Towns a Superstar and example of a elite center!
