In NBA 2K15, What Game Mode is Getting The Most Time? (Roundtable)


We're a couple of weeks into the NBA 2K15 experience, and while we still have some major issues going on within the game, many of you are no doubt playing several possible modes within the game.

We asked our staff which mode is their favorite and getting their most playtime up to this point, be sure to add your own response in the comments!

Matthew Coe: Well, my preferred mode right now is MyCareer. However, that mode has suffered from failed servers so many times that I've gone to playing more Quick Game and NBA Today games, waiting for the servers to stabilize. I can't wait to jump into MyAssociation when the real NBA season tips off, thank goodness that mode doesn't need a server connection and can be played completely offline. I know you can technically play MyCareer without a connection, but you don't earn VC, which is important as it can be spent across most of the other modes. I've dabbled in MyTeam, but the servers have killed that experience for me so far as well.

So all in all, the mode getting the most gaming time from me right now is Quick Game. I hope that changes sooner rather than later. I'd love to play more MyCareer.

James Kerti: I'm probably enjoying MyTEAM the most — when the servers actually work. It's hard to say which mode I like more than others because the serves limit me to sporadic play with each one. I can't get in a good rhythm. I will say I've enjoyed my team with every single mode.

Robert Kollars: Right now I am enjoying MyGM mode the most, but if I am being honest I have hardly touched the other modes because of the server issues. I am really enjoying the depth of the GM mode, and while some the goals and remarks from the owner make very little sense, there is a lot of fun in running an NBA franchise.

I'll admit that I am not really an online guy (with the exception being OS leagues), but I do feel terrible for the guys who dropped $60 on this game to play online. I wish the development/marketing crew were as diligent about sending out hype videos and tweets about fixing these modes, as they were getting people excited to spend full price on less than half a game.

For those that try to make excuses for this type of behavior and how it's standard practice in the industry, I would ask anyone of you to name a product that you purchase at a retail store, with the expectations of it maybe working 2-3 months from the day of purchase?

Furthermore, this has been an ongoing issue with this title for the last 5 years, and somehow the powers that be at 2K and Visual Concept have yet to find a way to have, at the very least, somewhat stable servers ready for launch. This was a huge issue with their MLB title, and I will be amazed if WWE 15 is any different. I am baffled that at this point fans of the series have yet to organize and dedicate a full day of doing nothing but blasting social media with this nonsense, and sending tweet, after tweet, after tweet to anyone involved in this debacle.

When fans should be celebrating the amazing game play that is offered up in NBA 2K15, a large contingency are left holding a useless $60 disc or download - congrats 2K and Visual Concepts on making a mockery and taking advantage of your fan-base.

Dustin Toms: I'm on the lucky end: I haven't had server issues that kill my experience -- yet.

I was born to be an NBA GM, so that's where I let my life drain away. I've messed around with Andrew Wiggins and Minnesota, and have even sent Milwaukee packing to Seattle (if only the had the 07-08 jerseys). Both save files so far are exciting, and keep me coming back for me. Simcast might be the best small feature in NBA 2K15, as you can play around 10 games an hour.

Interactions have stepped it up a notch, with one triggering almost every two days. It keeps you on your toes, and holds you accountable if you become a button skipper/masher person. Plus, the conversations don't seem as stale as 2K14, keeping you wanting to see what Larry Sanders has to complain about.

I have been playing alot of MyPark the past few days with no errors. Having a blast despite losing most games because of no teamwork with randoms but still having a blast. Last night I played my first game in the Jordan Rec Center and it was the most fun I have had so far. The button lag seemed better than the 3 on 3 games and despite getting housed by the Sunset Ballers I still had a blast!

All Star Team Up. I kind of miss being able to play with the actual teams, but it's still fun to round up a couple of my friends and team up with each other. You actually get a decent amount of VC for Team Up games too, which is a little added bonus.

I played MyCareer and My Team but both modes are so broken that it takes the fun out of playing. In MyTeam, I'm with Orlando as the PG and my teammates are so dumb it's pathetic. I call Pick and Roll only to have my roll guy catch the pass near the basket in the paint and miss shot after shot.

Quick game but quality simulation game…
