Nice Rockie, the first preview really touched on some good points but I can't help but feel like there is a defense tutorial but he just didn't get to test it out. Sounds like it's going to be a solid game

I liked the entweak article more informative than the rest. Guy sounded like a veteran bball gamer. Included details bout his frustration on defense. Hopefully the Tutorial includes defense in the final build if it's that hard to grasp.

i agree with you 100%! this year thats what is going to be about to you want an fully feature game with decent gameplay or a game that you know totally focused on gameplay but not much features. i have 2k14 n live 14 so im not anxious to buy 2k15 cause i haven't really seen anything new for gameplay that bother me, it wouldnt be easier to know if 2k had a demo to get my hands on it, im really eager to see the improvemt that EA has made with their game as far as looks and gameplay.

I can't wait to try Live15 out. For some of you who are on Twitter, I'm meechie911310 on there. Follow me and I'll keep it real about the game of basketball. Everyone should honestly give Live15 a try. They're actually looking at their mistakes, putting their foot down and sticking to what needs to be done. I understand most wanted game modes, but you have to learn how to crawl before you can walk right? Live15 fixed gameplay and graphics before adding all the good game modes we all want. Once Live15 drops, they'll continue to update the game, but start taking suggestions for 16. Game modes and all as well as how they can improve from 15. I won't say much about 2k15 because it's not the place to do so. I get people are in love with 2k but please open up your eyes for a sec and look at the videos that have posted. Gameplay wise, not modes, do you think there is a difference from 2k 14 to 15 based off the videos. I'd rather be honest with myself about what I see vs "oh I'm just gonna hate on a game for no reason". LIVE15 WILL put them back on the map and we all have to give constructive feed back and ideas for 16 to make it even better. Let's stop the hate on Live15 and appreciate that it have its own style of basketball and not like the competition.

Good read. But as the last paragraph suggested, it's a foundation. The question is, how many more titles will be a part of this foundation? When will the rest come?

Yeah, more and more of them are popping. I just don't understand why those who are actually going to pay for it, are not allowed to see the game...

because your coming here preaching about having an open mind and all that when your clearly a dedicated Live fan...which is perfectly fine....but it makes it hard to take your post serious...hence the laughing smiley.

# 31 boston3420 @ 10/03/14 10:09 PM

Just because I'm a dedicated Live fan doesn't mean I can't keep it real. Not saying I won't give the competition a try but it'll just be similar to 14. If I never had an open mind (although I'm a dedicated Live fan) , I wouldn't have bought 2k every year since dreamcast days. So I won't call it preaching, I just say how I see it.

# 32 23 @ 10/03/14 11:20 PM

Ill give the demo a try I guess.

I don't like that it seems like the crossovers are the exact same like MCW has the exact same weird bouce tek crossover as Kyrie, which makes it even more odd because after seeing Patrick Beverly doing and 1 behind the back dribble moves, Its starting to give me that generic feel again.

Just like Lilliard doing the exact same dunk as Wiggins. Even with that the movement is still odd and I just don't think they'll ever get it right at this point.

Might be a fun game of basketball, it looks kind of sim but generic with some funky movements, and animations look better than Live 14 but that really was like bottom of the barrell stuff.

Will certainly look at the demo for myself because too much enhanced video and no real 5 on 5 being shown this late in the game.

We will see how it goes.

Totally agree.

Another hands on preview here.

By far the worst hands on preview we've had. Dude talked about his game but really gave no information.

# 36 Jano @ 10/06/14 04:14 PM

Yea he sounded like a casual basketball fan that had to write a preview cuz that was his assignment for that day.

I personally don't really bother with reviews if there is a DEMO we could play before a game drops.

I usually get the games without reading reviews and such letting the demo be my deciding factor.

But the problem is this year I will have to rely on reviews because I don't think Live 15 will have a DEMO slotted unless I missed something lately...

Looking forward to seeing some 5 on 5 gameplay in advance to help me with my decision this year with Live 15.....I haven't really played a NBA game since 2K11 and Live 10 versions.

So I'm dying to get a B-Ball game back in sports rotation this year.

# 38 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 10/06/14 04:40 PM

Are we sure there's no demo lol ?

Yea Playmaker if there's one company that SHOULD give us a demo it'd be Tiburon. I'm confident we are getting one.

We are getting a demo, I'm sure it'll probably drop next Tuesday.
