Some Little Things From the NBA 2K15 Twitch Stream

I guess badges are similiar to those in the FIFA series

didn't the crowd leave after the 3rd Q last game? Mid-way through the 4th there would be a lot of empty seats. Unless you actually see fans getting up and leaving? that would be pretty cool.

In 2K14, when I'd play at home with my Bucks against another 'bad' team, there would be many empty seats.

wonder what they mean by some news that will break the internet, maybe the FIBA teams or a FIBA mode

[wodi]

has there been any word if this is just for next gen, or last gen also?

How is it less sim and less detailed? To me it's the complete opposite. There are players that have skills that can not be displayed simply through rating and attributes. The badges allow their unique talents to show. At same time there are varying levels of talent for these skills throughout the league. Think of a badge like 3 point specialist. Steph Curry would probably be gold since he can light it up from 3. A player like ray allen, at the point in his career, would probably only be bronze, maybe silver. He can still light it up from time to time but he is not automatic like he once was.

Exactly. I don't understand people that choose to view a system that tries to mimic the intricacies of a players skills through something other than attributes as not being sim. I think it's completely sim. Now, I agree that the term "badge" makes it seem like a gamey, FPS asset. I agree. I don't think the term is appropriate. But getting past that, this is one of the best parts of the games skill/attribute subsystem IMO.
