How Long Is NBA 2K15?
I recommend this game to all NBA enthusiasts.
NBA 2K15 while not a visual upgrade over 2K14, has huge gameplay improvements and improvements in all game modes. Gameplay is extremely smooth, AI players react much more realistically and I feel you can really control tempo. The tempo is huge to me, run a patient offense and the team sets and plays half court offense, run and gun and your team will speed up noticeably, but turnovers will increase as a result. Running set plays is much faster, consuming only about 10 seconds of play clock vs in the past when plays took the full 24 seconds.
MyCareer is now a fun campaign-like mode, lots of cutscenes, player interactions and the AI substitutes realistically vs last year when exhausted players were left in with no chance to substitute. MyGM, MyTeam, and Legacy mode (absent last year) return. This is a great game and a must buy for NBA fans.
schro433's review of NBA 2K15
(Imported Review from Steam)
I have a love/hate relationship with this game. Every time I play it, I get frustrated, but I love basketball and 2K is the only option on the market (EA doesn't have any idea on what they are doing). The teammate AI run around aimlessly, the opposing CPU will make heavily contested shots 9 times out of 10, and player tendencies don't mean anything. Most of the issues I have with the game only pertain to the top two difficulties.
PROS:
- Runs smooth
- Graphics are nice
- It's basketball
- Game modes are fun
CONS:
- Controller support is wack
- CPU plays at an unrealistic level on higher difficulties
- Teammates don't make sense
- 2K doesn't support the game, and each update made the game run worse
- The servers are dead
- Player animations are used on multiple people, and get stale
- Running plays doesn't work well
- The refs are biased in favor of the CPU
- CPU disregards player tendencies
With that said I still play this game quite a bit, and if it was $10 or less I would recommend it, but with 2k17 almost out, there really isn't any point to pay the $60. Hopefully 2K starts to support …
