NBA 2K15 Gameplay Video - Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks (IpodKingCarter)

[HowDareI]

I'm going to reserve my judgement until we see human vs. human (good players) or at least human vs. ai on higher difficulty.

Go put in 2K14 on your Xbox One or PS4 right now and do a quick match on pro, tell me what you see. I bet it looks identical to this (I hate to say it) mess.

Plays take too long to develop, flashy passes at weird moments, scorers passing up easy shots, etc.

From what I seen so far, some of these new animations look nice...and I have no problems with any animations just ones that always seem to play out the same (scoop layup in traffic always goes in, certain dribble animations that always bump you back, etc.).
The game looks a lot smoother, which imo, will make 2K15 feel very new when we get our hands on it; think 30 fps to 60 fps in a shooter, you might not think it makes a big deal visually but when you play it, it changes the whole game. 2K15 looks very polished even with such little (good) gameplay we have seen.

There are no games on PC or console that are based on physics only so leave that discussion for something else. 2 K has a excellent dev team that knows what works and they shall continue doing what works until the competition can overtake it with a physics based game. That is all happy Sunday #yakeem

Your post made me crack me up. I was thinking the same thing. The ones with the most issues are the posters from the other game's forum. And then we get to hear their favorite word around this time: "canned animations". The irony of the situation is that the other game added 100's of new animations to improve their gameplay lol.

Best situation is to to just get both games. 2K is preordered, and when Live is discounted, I will purchase that. Best of both worlds

But if you guys want to convince yourselves of worst, have at it. Doesn't change anything. Read DaCzar's post about the depth of the play system. Explains quite a bit actually.

I have had good/great ball movement every year I have edited 2k. I am commenting on what I have seen, not saying it Cant/Wont be fixed but as we can see the Out of Box Roster Wont be. Play system has nothing to do with guys being LOST on the court.

Can't say I agree. I enjoy the game for what it is, but there are plenty of times an animation plays out and you get stuck in it.

Cheesers use it to abuse areas of the game. Remember when people would attempt a steal near half-court and this would cause your player to back pedal a few steps, resulting in a backcourt violation?

That's just one example. IMO your player should turn and give his back to defend the ball in that situation, not be bumped backwards by the defender when you're not doing anything.

There are others, but I trust the guys to keep minimizing these each year.

I had issues with those defensive "carry" animations...those drove me nuts last year. Thank goodness those look to be gone...there are a couple of other ones that bother me, but they don't dominate my experience...

Other than that...yeah...I don't see the crippling lack of control that people tend to be suffering from.

lets start with the bold... removing warp defense where a guy covers half the court in a millisecond, and removing forced animations makes it MORE realistic.

as far as the control comment...you been playing a different game?

I wouldn't know I don't play online much except when we play, and it's no nonsense there, lol. The back court would be frustrating but I learned to avoid it.

You asking me?

I'd say yes...without question...

Which is why i'm not on this forum talking about how miserable I am playing it every day.
