NBA 2K15 Livestream Starting Now - Bulls vs. Lakers

[Jakeness23]

Get rid of any animations where they help someone off the ground for the other team. That happens very rarely, if ever IRL.

Also noticed that once a player's warmups come off, they don't come back. That should be fixed, or at least have them put on a shooting shirt. It's a small detail, but that's where we're at with 2K now lol.

it's still weird to have a gaming company hype a pregame show with no halftime. lol

I don't know how I feel about having the D-pad for calling plays....I guess it could work...walking the ball up and using the right thumb to cycle through the plays wouldn't be to bad...

This halftime show brings back so many fond memories, and that was on Xbox 1, NOT Xbox One. I don't see how something similar couldn't be implemented into 2K15, 10 years later. Chris Berman was the man in this halftime show btw.

It would be nice to see a halftime show, but it's not a deal breaker. The thing that bothered me was the reasoning was that most people skip it, so we figured we'd just take it out. Don't get that attitude. I guess they felt the same way about practice modes, hence no practice mode.

Some people said the spacing was better, but it still was a little off, along with the floaty passing. One thing that I did like was the contact in the paint and the animations after contact, also the fluidity of the players seemed to move better but we don't know how much we have control of our players until the controllers is in our hands.

Tbh they hardly hyped it. It was alluded to a few times and revealed in the Yakeem trailer, but it wasn't hyped like everything else they've talked about.

That's been a problem since they first put them in years ago so I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. Seems like it may be more complicated than we think(though Live does it where they put the shooting shirt back on or the entire warmup)

I can live without a halftime show. Or even the announcing of the starting lineups.


What I find mindboggling is somehow not being able to edit headband/goggles, when they had them LAST gen...and maybe even before that.

It's most likely a bug they have to fix

As far as them lookig "real" they look like they were scanned. Everyone looks basically the same in 2k if they were scanned. Obviously the players look better most likely because they have a higher poly count, but Shaq Ernie and now Doris don't look bad by any means.

I actually disagree those games look more realistic. But the day those games have to do as much as a sports game in a shorter amount of time will be the day the comparisons are apples to apples.
