NBA 2K15 Review: A Great Game on the Court Marred by Missteps Off Of It (PS4)

Great Review. Maybe missing the input lag at some point, but this is exactly how i feel. On the court, offline it is wonderful. But Online it is not playable.

It's irrational confidence bordering on lunacy. Their marketing slogan was that they would #breaktheinternet ...seems as if they haven broken their servers instead.

So ign gave it a 7.8 and OS gave it a 7. Seems correct

Good to see OS not drinking the 2k koolaide

If only 2K was half as good at making a solid online experience as they are at promoting their game they'd be getting 10's all over the place. The game literally has the same problems two years in a row with no solution in sight. Wish I could say I'm not falling for it next year but I probably will. There's an opportunity her for EA, hopefully they won't screw it up. Again.

Your about 85% right about this when it comes to me. Since I mainly play offline, I usually wouldn't care too much about the online aspects of the game, but that's not the case here. When 2k decided to throw people like me (mostly an offline gamer) into a offline game that needs online servers to complete the package...I guess you can say It knocked me out of my comfort zone.

NBA2k14 ps4 would had been great if not for the servers, and I don't play online, nor did I try. Well I did try My team and that mode would be great IMO without online. I just love a challenge.

I feel NBA2k15 would be great offline if there wasn't a need to be online.
Seriously, play this game for 10 minutes without the internet connected and there is nothing but smoothness. No lagging at all to be found..anywhere.

Fair score. Online sucks and the career mode isn't taking the right steps

Great review and right on in my eyes...maybe another score after some patches come out?
