NBA 2K15 Videos - Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs (Off-Screen Footage from Gamescom)

[@marcusjiles]

Here's the issue with the size of the court that didnt change (surprise no. 1) - On the first possession, you look toward the nearest corner, there's a double on the post player while the defender is standing 2 ft away from the man standing at the corner spot. That's an issue by default. Imagine it in MyCareer.

EVEN IF players move slower (No chance, speed has been an issue for YEARS) it doesnt really matter because you're already in the vicinity of two players in two different spots on the floor.

Overall it looks largely the same. Doesnt have to be such a bad thing. Could mean they focused on other aspects to sure up.

Glad we've seen some gameplay, now we're not at the mercy of 2k playing their tease game. We've seen a game that looks largely similar, nuances be damned. Show me otherwise.

I have to agree here....

- To me it does seem to have some NBA Live-ish movements going on. I noticed some sliding still going on. And seemed like the A.I. was not playing defense at times. But that could be because the guy was playing on easy or pro settings. I did like the slowed down, simulation pacing of the game. Game was waaaaay too damn fast in previous versions. Overall, gameplay definitely needs work still.... seems to still play like last years PS4/XB1 version of the game. And that's not a good thing. (Yes.... I am mindful it is an early build)

- One of the first things I did notice was the court, it is more crisp and less cartoony. More realistic and less glossy.

- Player models look to have been redone as well. Hard to tell to what extent from this short video though. But I will say they look more slim down like real NBA players and less bulky as in previous years.

- Very glad to see cheerleaders back in the game. But I agree there need to be waaaaay more camera men on the baseline. Just makes it more realistic to me. No way there would ever only be like one or two on the baseline.

Was hoping they would do more in regards to court spacing/player model size, it seems I'll have to adjust those again in my rosters. Oh wells, I'm used to it.

Good to see the timeout situation on the overlay in right corner, just hoping that they added individual fatigue/fouls back to the quick sub menu. Don't know why that was taken out in the first place.

Overall looks solid, as usual. Still day 1 buy for me.

True. I think that plays a part in my Live ish feel. 2K players model where more bulky in the past. I like that they made em slimmer.

Those passing animations were sexy. It looks like it'll be a lot of fun to play team ball and work it around the perimeter just like the real Spurs(the speed at which the ball moves on the skip pass was on point as well).

This is like "NBA2K 14.5" Just have to play and feel it for myself.
1.The animation for players sprinting when using turbo still looks stiff.
2.The pass animation to the corner from Patty Mills to Belinelli, looks quick and sweet
3. and the kid playing didn't do justice to the game lol

You can pretty much learn 95% of player jump shots by taking them to practice for two seconds. The rest just have the weirdest button releases. You don't have to be some hard core gangsta 2k player to figure out how to get someone's release in previous games.

perhaps you missed the fact that most casuals don't use practice mode for jumpshot releases therefore they have to install mechanics to make it easier for them to pick up and play
