NBA 2K16 has raised the bar not just for future iterations of the series but for every sports game developed beyond this point.

Let’s forget about terrible cutscenes directed by Spike Lee – the game itself is still a joy to play. [12/2015, p.54]

NBA 2K16 continues to be at the top of its game, even if the new career mode isn’t everything I wanted from a Spike Lee joint.

One many can argue the "Last Great" 2K game. Personally I can see why, soundtrack still holds up. The graphics are still great, the gameplay while not as perfect as some make it out to be is still a fun experience. My Career? A bit on the cheesy side but 2K sure has done worse , B-Fresh anyone? Overall, solid game.

Aside from a few graphical elements and despite the fact that Spike Lee's "movie" doesn't work entirely, NBA 2K16 remains the basketball videogame for excellence.

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.

Spike Lee’s nuanced plotting and oftentimes poetic phrasing yield a promising beginning for sports game narrative, a beginning so affecting that Lee’s last scenes left me staggered.

If you’re a basketball fan, then NBA 2K16 is definitely worth picking up. It has all the experiences you would want in a basketball game, and is easily one of the more entertaining sports games to pick up.

An overly restrictive and often embarrassing career mode undermines the excellent gameplay. [Dec 2015, p.72]

Sound Quality still stands as the best heard throughout the series, even after 8 years or so.

Computer defense is literally denis Rodman on meth it really takes away from the game literally no one can beat curry 1v1 not cause of his offense with would be correct but for curry to clamp so hard Kobe couldnt make a layup or even get close to the basket

Community managers are a joke and mock their community. The development teams and community team obviously don't work together. Online modes lack stability and the Offline modes can't even get things like jerseys, lineups etc. right. It's sad 2K has a hold on the market because any other developer would look at how the whole player base is complaining about lack of content, stability etc and work towards fixing them, where as 2K and Take-Two are just robbing their loyal customers blind.
