NBA 2K16 - The Last GREAT NBA 2K Game. No 2K game has been “great” since NBA 2K16. From 2010 through 2015, Visual Concepts released banger after banger, ending their impressive run with 2K16. This game had the best MyCareer story, the most fun and most varied park, MyLeague solidified itself as the greatest franchise mode in all of sports video games, MyGM put icing on the cake, and MyTeam was at its peak. Gameplay, presentation, and graphics were all incredible for the time, and due to how recent this game was, it still holds up very well.

Don't take this the wrong way. I don't think 2K20 is a bad game. It had a terrible launch, but currently it's decent. Especially when compared to EA's sports games. That said, 2K16 just did everything better. I wouldn't call 2K17-20 great, which is why I think 2K16 is the last great 2k.

This guy knows what up. The dribbling was perfect.
-
Gameplay felt weighty yet smooth. Big guys would bang realistically while wing players would move just as real. The lighting was pretty good.
-
Unfortunate that 2k decided to change the 2k franchise from a basketball simulation to a casino simulation after this game.
-
that animation with curry, harden, AD, and MJ is so nostalgic
-
RIP Vic Van Lier, he was the FOF, friend of Freq, I was actually kinda sad when he died ngl
-
Almost cried from the nostalgia of having a competent sports game
-
The community back then wasn't as back as it now, people would still play even if your a pro or rookie but now no one with each other unless your a high rep player or with friends.
-
Let’s be honest 2016 was the greatest year in general
-
To top it all off, the menu presentation was phenomenal. When you choose an option in the main menu one of AD, Harden, or Curry dribbling, shooting etc. was awesome. Especially when you look at 2k15s boring menu. Literally the only improvement on presentation is different commentators. The menu has been boring ever since
-
2k is just as greedy as EA right now.
-
2k doesn’t have soul anymore.. the same can be said for a ton of other gaming company’s..
-
Why everybody acting like you couldn’t skip cut scenes in this game
-
I remember playing MyCareer. In the national championship, I made a shot to take the lead in the last few seconds. Then I got posted up and faded on for a buzzer beater. It was the worst sports game moment of my life.
-
Not just NBA 2K16 but 2016 was the last great year I remember
-
I literally played every mode in 2K16:!!! I always tell people this is the 🐐 2k 💯
-
Facts when they dropped patch 6 it was 2k downfall 🤦♂️ it’s sad how they went from being the best on this gen to everyone hating it
-
3:50 Meanwhile two players run into an invisible wall
-
This game is still better than 2k23
-
100% agree with this. 2k16 and 2k11 will forever be gems. Don't know which one I'd give the crown too, but either one is deserving of it.
