    It's somewhat disconcerting when any game holds back from showing gameplay footage leading up to release, but in the case of NBA 2K16 there wasn't much concern over what that meant. The series' track record and where it was coming from with 2K15 left little reason to doubt that 2K16 would be in excellent shape. Still, it took until just 11 days remained for any footage to go out, with today a huge wave of videos being let loose from a variety of sources. It's noteworthy that these vide...

    Both NBA Live 16 and NBA 2K16 are rolling out a significant online-based mode that shares the same name. The importance each one holds is wildly different however, with Live Pro-Am being the main feature of that game, while 2K's Pro-Am is just one of several modes that offer considerable depth. Based on the results of the poll on the two, Live has done well with its announcement as it has attracted some interest. 29% of respondents found themselves more intrigued by Live's Pro-Am com...
