I am new to 2K and decided to try one of the games I had in my Steam library. This was such an unpleasant experience. I feel like 2K16 already expects you to know exactly how to play the game, and there wasn't even a tutorial really when I tried MyCareer mode. I am bad at the game, but wide open shots bricking and buggy interactions made this very unpleasant. Maybe I will give one of the more modern ones a try, because playing this one as my first 2K is not the game.
