The Impact of the 2016 Draft Class on NBA 2k15 PC Gameplay

=====================================================================================

Introduction

----------

Released in October 2015, NBA 2K16 marked a significant milestone for the popular basketball simulation series. Among its many features was an improved MyCareer mode that allowed players to experience life as their favorite NBA stars from draft day onwards.

One of the most anticipated aspects of this year's installment was undoubtedly the inclusion of last year's rookie class in full glory on PC and console versions alike! This article will explore how well these fresh faces integrated into gameplay, focusing specifically on what they bring (or lack thereof) compared to their real-life counterparts when playing as part of a team rostered with actual NBA players.

The 2016 Draft Class

----------------

For those who may not be familiar, the 2015 NBA draft saw an impressive crop of talent enter professional basketball. Among them were:

1. Kristaps Porzingis (New York Knicks) - A dominant center from Latvia known for his incredible length and shot-blocking abilities.

2. Jahlil O'Neal's replacement at power forward was quite possibly Andrew Harrison, who went first overall in the draft after a highly touted college career with Kentucky Wildcats.

Gameplay Implications

----------------

In terms of gameplay on NBA 2K15 PC, these young guns have mixed results:

Pros:

- Porzingis brings an intimidating presence inside due to his immense height (7'0' without shoes), allowing him to protect the paint effectively.

Cons: However, he struggles with footwork and often appears sluggish moving around court.

On the other hand, Harrison's poor shooting percentages carry over into NBA 2K15 where it seems like every open three-point attempt clanks off rim hard enough that fans gasp in collective dismay!

Overall Verdict

--------------

In conclusion while not perfect by any stretch of imagination these two players still offer something unique compared to their real-life counterparts especially when playing on lower difficulty settings which helps mask some glaring deficiencies.

Final thoughts?

If you're looking for a more authentic experience with better graphics and smoother gameplay then perhaps consider waiting until next year's installment comes out before diving headfirst into NBA 2K16 PC version. However, if you're an avid fan of basketball simulation games or simply want to see how these young stars fare against top-notch competition without breaking the bank (since it'll be cheaper), give 'em a try!
