NBA 2K15: Yakkem Trailer (Gameplay Included)

01:11 PM - August 25, 2014 by RaychelSnr

The first extended gameplay trailer for NBA 2K15 is here, and…Yakkem!

The trailer opens up with Ernie Johnson and Shaquille O’Neal talking in studio (in the game). From there we get an extended montage of in-game action before coming back out to a funny exchange between Johnson and Shaq on set.

What did you spy in the trailer that piqued your interest? Sound off!

Just has to find the time. He's a busy guy.

Thanks Mike! This awesome to hear, both that his shot's been improved by hand and that Steph's up for his shot to be captured. I know he's gotta be busy. He's only leading Team USA right now.

Did you ever find his underhand floater?

Speaking of floaters, I do find the fadeaway floater difficult to use. They seem to kick in too easily and have a slow release that tends to get swatted (when they should be hard to block). Any improvement this year in that area?

Being on the subject of shots, really, really hope Anthony Davis has a new jumper and FT stroke.

He is a nice playmaker though and can step up to hit some big shots. It will be interesting to see how they rate him taking that all into account

His jumpshot is not off but even when open in 2k u wouldnt be confident about him making it. The one at Gamescom actually looks good. We also need Tim Duncan to shoot like he does when both of his feet are slightly in and either top of the key jumper or some nice glass shots!

Damn I forgot about his lethal underhand floater good way to point that out and the fadeaway floater aswell needs to be addressed. Good post

I hope so also, he deserves the love now that he is an all-star, olympian and a star in the making.

What do you guys use to do player contracts? How long until we see nonguaranteed/partial guaranteed contracts, ETOs, etc.?

The team didnt nail these last year. I love watching some of Steph's landings. His body lunges forward and his right foot ends up a long way in front of his left.

This video has 3 good examples at 0.42, 0.52 and 1.18.

I started a thread about sigs about a week ago. I was wondering how they get them and if they can take them from video footage.

And as Ive said many times, we need multiple forms for many players. Dirk's 3 is much different to his mid ranger.

What about Derrick Rose?

His shot is off, it completely changed this season. Hope they fixed that and his free throw and layup package as well.

THIS MIGHT BE A REACH

But I would love to see an animation of how he cradles the ball, almost like a running back when he drives to the hole. He does this in real life a lot, it would be great to see it in 2k.

Just a suggestion. A dev may not know what you mean by kick ball cheese when reading through the thread so a short description of what it is and why it's cheese (if not apparent) would def be helpful if your inclined to do so. And a video clip of the issue is always appreciated

.

Doesn't need to be 13 paragraphs tho. LOL.

If I ever were to get hired as a art and presentation producer, I got you

I hope that they might have taken that out and its not too late!! That was annoying. Anybody got any footage on this for the 2k team?

Thats not an in game pic though

2k's Lillard looks like he had plastic surgery. His face doesnt have the right shape

huh? seriously?

that shot looks nothing like the real life clip from the arm placement, to the body angle.

Lol. 2K14 Lillard looks like an alien or lizard person wearing a Lillard mask.

# 414 AceDawg5 @ 08/30/14 01:27 PM

I see a lot of devs on this thread dropping some good knowledge. If possible I'd love u guys to answer a question that's been burning for years. Will we have jersey selection in MyCareer, will auto play calling work, and will other positions besides PG be able to call plays? Has my time come?!

# 415 dwadefan45 @ 08/30/14 02:38 PM

Was it possible to sign with Li-ning last year? Also, would it be possible to put the WOW encores in the game after they come out? (the .5's)

Encore 2's for example (2.5)

Also, and this is huge, have NBA players' multiple hair to select from in case they change it up.

I wonder if they'll have some type of game face feature. That'll be pretty awesome.

Splakakatowyow 😂😂 Shaq is going to be hilarious in this game

# 418 Rules @ 08/30/14 07:53 PM

Going to Amazon now to preorder.

Wow

# 419 kurt2134 @ 08/30/14 10:41 PM

I really hope that Lillard got a new scan. Something still seems off about him in the trailer. Still looks like last year's model other than the tats.

# 420 Smirkin Dirk @ 08/30/14 11:15 PM

Do we know if we'll be able to upload videos that have the sound?
