NBA 2K15's Mike Wang Answers Your Questions (Interview)

03:24 PM - October 30, 2014 by RaychelSnr

NBA 2K15 Gameplay Director Mike Wang took to the Operation Sports forums this month to answer questions about this year's game.

Because that forum thread now contains hundreds of posts, I extracted the most interesting and important questions and answers for this piece.

I broke it down based on topics, including dribbling, player movement, game controls, and more.

Thanks to Mike for taking the time, jersez for starting the conversation, and all the Operation Sports Forums users who participated in the discussion.

Exactly Twogotwingz3 because he's trying to prove something but can't even formulate a thorough sentence. No one said they need to tweak player models or some visual of the game. I said they need to look into analytics and statistics more and base it off that because the numbers per game especially playing a 12 min game is all off but they don't pay attention to that and some of the animations are hindering the game because it's exaggerated and not realistic...

In some... maybe many instances, I agree. But I can get players to explode out of size ups. I just can't duplicate that explosiveness out of basic dribble moves. And I think most players use basic crosses, hesitations, jabs, etc. more than size ups.

are you serious about this. Player attributes for the most part are spot on.

As a user, you have to factor in physics etc. Certain moves just cant be stringed together with explosiveness once you factor in a players momentum.
I also believe that players react differently based on the sim, casual and default settings.

not so sure I like the altered my career AI.I definitely shouldn't be the centerpiece of the team if I'm a 68 OVR rookie. I'm totally fine with playing my role and taking the shots that come to me naturally; I too wish we had options to use the default AI.

# 26 Crookid @ 10/30/14 05:45 PM

I'd love to hear some answers about adding compression shorts and tanks for MC. Or extending the padded pants, compression pants etc to extend as opposed to cutting off at the knees.

Q: Is there anything in the patch that helps with the way PG's bring the ball up court?
A: I'm working on making it easier to walk the ball upcourt if that's what you're asking.

Does this mean 2K16 or a 2K15 patch?

Will the CPU walk the ball up to?

# 31 RyanFitzmagic @ 10/30/14 08:07 PM

I still remember the system for walking the ball up in 2K7. Hold the left trigger while moving the left stick to activate the walk-up animations. I wish we could have that exact system back.

# 32 RipCityAndy @ 10/30/14 08:25 PM

Why does my character do hesitation moves without me telling him to?

# 33 Tybudd @ 10/30/14 09:45 PM

Would have been nice to know how you can indicate that your players are starting to get Jump Shot fatigue?

All of a sudden what were normal releases wide open, are Red on the meter.

# 34 JKSportsGamer1984 @ 10/30/14 09:49 PM

Since they're talking about a patch I hope they tighten up the foot planting. Still seeing players feet slide into place when receiving passes mainly on inbound passes. Also players feet slide or motion shift into position when waiting for the rebound on freethrow attempts. Hopefully some of the player models get touched up too.

# 35 Soundtrack2C @ 10/30/14 10:34 PM

Will the issue with AI teammates and User's contest's not being equal, be fixed?

Will we be able to edit the value of the salary cap in my league so that is an actual value, instead of just "on/off"?

# 36 eko718 @ 10/30/14 10:35 PM

It feels like something has changed with the gameplay, having played a bit today. It feels easier to get by defenders and the AI seems a bit dumbed down. Anyone else notice or is this my imagination?

SS or all star?

# 38 eko718 @ 10/30/14 10:39 PM

^^Superstar. I'm noticing a lot more CPU standing in one place dribbling while the shot clock winds down and defenders falling down constantly with minimal contact.

# 39 tcnumba10 @ 10/30/14 10:41 PM

Will the Patch address the lack of 3s taken by the CPU team? or is that a Roster (player tendency) issue?

Also would like to see teams to play like their real-life counterpart such as the Hawks as I mentioned in another thread (some teams utilize their star players and some do not)
