NBA 2K16 PC Improvement Suggestions

[christianthenat]

Hello My name is ChristianTheNat and playing park takes up most of my time when playing this game. During the hours I have accumulated playing this game and interacting with fellow players, these two issues would be grand if by any chance could be executed either on a futher patch or on the next game.

#1
The 100 Friends list bug that exist on the Steam Version of the game. Basically if you surpass 100 friends on Steam and load up the MyPark, All Star Team Up locker room or the MyCourt Friends list ingame, there will be missing players on the list. The only workaround for this madness is to delete friends until you meet the 100 friends or less. Also since we are on the topic of playing with friends, there is no easy way to add a player on steam without cycling through massive amount of players with the exact name. If the recent players feature can be enabled for this game that could also help improve the atmosphere of the game allowing more players to interact easily.

This one could be a stretch but if this could happens the online mode will indeed become more enjoying creating a longer life cycle for online play and removing dead times on the pc servers. Will it be possible if we can get a server list for pc to limit dead parks, i have tried to group members from all over the world to join that rivet city community page to help improve our current situation with dead parks. If we can get a server list for pc like there is on games that valve has, ex. Counterstrike and Team Fortress 2 this can help. Also if that can not happen can we merge the pc version with the players on console ie. xbox or playstation to up the player count on game modes. I really enjoy the game on pc and i know others will enjoy it if we can improve the player count and continue to ban users that cheat, this can be an ideal solution.

How does the software decide which park to send you to? Is it by ping and bandwidth speed? Geographically?

I live in NYC and every day, Rivet and Old Town are absolutely dead. And yet, during the weekly competitions, Rivet seems to win all the time. No idea why.

Also, lately, the lag has been atrocious. It's sometimes not even easily seen. I'm wondering why I end up out of bounds way out of position. Happens a lot when I miss or turnover the ball.

For the most part, the game sends you to a server based on your geographical location. There is an East US server, West US server, EU server, Chinese, and so on. I have came to that conclusion by the various players that i have played with on 2k15 and 2k16. Based on your location, the game pairs you with players in the region. There is a software called WTFast that helps aid this process so that players can join another region server without having the said player from that location on their friends list.

I live in NJ and i get that same problem sometimes getting dead parks. The solution that i have gathered from my experience playing both last years game and this year's game is by having a helfty amount of players that play that game mode from several different locations from around the world on your friends list. If by any chance you want to run some games in the 2k16 park you can add me on steam. ChristianTheNat, I am a rough rider and I have build a community of players from the rivet park that you can also add to your list to help improve your park experience.http://steamcommunity.com/groups/RivetCityLivesOn
Rivet seems to be wanting that win this year, hopefully rivet city does win and gets a new court would love to see it happen if it is possible.

Also, lately, the lag has been atrocious. It's sometimes not even easily seen. I'm wondering why I end up out of bounds way out of position. Happens a lot when I miss or turnover the ball.

The out of bounds thing that happens does not only happen to you, if your talking about the animation that carries you out of bounds when you are at the corner of the court could be low stats in handling the ball or simply put the person who passed the ball to you does not have a high passing stat. If its in the fast break position then possibly the person passing the ball does not have break starter. Another thing that could be happening is your internet might be messing with your game or possibly the server is acting up with you because of the players you are facing.

Hopefully my responses have helped you out, I'm just a gamer like yourself but this is what i have accumulated from all the time that I have played this game on the PC
