Last gen impressions?

Re: Last gen impressions?

Only thing that sucks is I am on 360 and still no updated online rosters but I know they are coming. Sucks because wolves are my team and they are all effed up with still having Love.

you have to download the current roster from 2k share

Re: Last gen impressions?

I might consider picking this back up down the road if some sliders come out and if the reditor gets a new one but I doubt that happens with the creator working for 2k now .

Re: Last gen impressions?

Is it worth it to get NBA 2k15 on Xbox360.

If they fixed the auto generated draft classes, yes. If you want to play online only, yes. If you want to play 8 seasons of My player, no, because half the league will be screwed up because of the auto generated draft classes.

Re: Last gen impressions?

Cashed in some Powerup Rewards points ($25 off one item) and will be picking up NBA 2K15 for the 360 today. I'll post impressions after I play a few games.

Re: Last gen impressions?

A lot has changed since 2k11. I have much practicing to do before I can give an honest impression.

I hope there will be community members active in the last gen slider and roster forums, as I feel like a beginner again.

Re: Last gen impressions?

ya, because it will basically make the game unplayable in My Player and Association after a few years. Keep writing, it is funny.

i didn't think i would find an immature forum user but i guess i was wrong, keep complaining about stupid things then, its one of the best 2ks in last gen so far, some dumb generated rookies won't affect me at all, and shouldn't affect anyone, because after the first season your my player becomes pretty much OP, and my career becomes repetitive, so i don't get how even 80ovr rookies would change my experience, its a stupid little detail that won't matter for 90% of the players.

Those rosters only work for offline. I only play online.

Re: Last gen impressions?

Glad alot of people are more optimistic about this game..every game I see something new..

I will say a gripe that I do have with this game is the damn servers...they are killing me every time I edit something..

Re: Last gen impressions?

For those looking for updated rosters I'd recommend going to a site like rotoworld http://www.rotoworld.com/teams/depth-charts/nba.aspx and updating them yourself. Just noticed that players like Mike Muscala and lucas Noriega(sp?) have disappeared in 2k's 10/7 update and they were present in the default roster. Muscala just played in a Hawks game the other night. I know 2k has beds working on next gen rosters but 2k should have considered bringing in Rondo4Life or RondoisGod to work on last gen rosters for quality. Game has only been out a few days so not going to be that judgemental towards them but this has been an issue with them for years...


Also like someone said earlier the compression/KD shorts do not appear in game when selected. I don't know if they need to be unlocked thru myplayer or were accidentally put in as an option due to multiplatform development. Probably the latter...Come on 2k..

Re: Last gen impressions?

Long time viewer of these forums. But had to signup for an account to post about this game. (If that says anything)

Start off by saying I have the PS3 version and play 99.9% offline association (Always Cavs) and never use custom sliders. I've played about 15-20 games since Tuesday so I feel like I can hopefully give some constructive input. Been playing 2K every year since the beginning and never been disappointed no matter what system/gen the game was on.

With that said, with 2K15 I feel cheated, ripped off and disgusted. And I am not one to complain as I usually am only concerned with updated rosters, accurate and updated jerseys/floors/arenas, just the cosmetic stuff. The rosters were up to date out of the box (Love, Miller etc on Cavs) and after downloading the additional Official update, the rosters were even more updated (2nd Round pick, Training camp players were on the roster now. Awesome.) I quickly browsed through the other teams rosters and the rosters all looked very up to date. The Cavs arena is still the old arena but whatever, that'll be updated soon I'm sure. Commentary is good, they talk about Lebron coming back, KLove and the Wiggins saga. Could care less if it's Steve Kerr's voice as long as what he is saying is current.

So you think that would satisfy my yearly updated 2k fix? Wrong. In my opinion this is THE EXACT same game as last year. And playing as the Cavs every year you think I could be easily tricked this year into thinking the gameplay/tendencies is somewhat different as I've never played with 80% of this new, exciting mega roster. Am I the only one that think the graphics are even worse than last year? David Blatt's face animation seriously looks like it came from Goldeneye from N64. Every player movement is exactly the same, rebounding/shot blocking/shooting it all is exactly the same. I agree with those who have said if you blindly switch 2k14 into my system and didn't tell me, I wouldn't be able to tell which game was which. Before this year, even though changes were subtle you could still feel that you were playing a different game. I know this all has to do with the focus on Next Gen but this is downright insulting. I don't even care about wasting the money, just something irks me about it. Pregame, Halftime, Postgame it's all the same. It's kind of like if you order top shelf whiskey from a bar, you wonder if they just poured bottom shelf whiskey into a top shelf bottle and charged you the top shelf price? Sure the alcohol has the same affect on you but the taste is far worse.

Verdict: I can't complain because it was my choice to buy this game knowing a Last Gen version would get the short end of the stick. But this stick is the shortest I've ever seen. I bought FIFA 15 for PS3 and you can just tell EA actually put a lot of effort into upgrading from last year, it was very refreshing. 2K didn't do anything to even try and please it's last gen customers. I hope someone out there is voicing their opinions to 2K. Maybe I'm overreacting and after time I'll notice subtle changes that I somehow missed. But for now the buzz and excitement over this game has been destroyed and it will go onto my shelf to collect dust. FIFA 15 is going back in my system, probably permanently.

Re: Last gen impressions?

I play my player? am totally fine with that, its about my player, i don't care what some generated rookies might do, i also play association and do custom drafts, i usually make my own 5 best players of each draft and there, am happy seeing their results, i won't complain on that, i can see how a person that doesn't play online might be mad with these things, but then again, the highlighted feature that was announced for the game was the return of crew, which is an online mode, that being said all their effort went into gameplay and crew, for all the people that requested the mode, that was basically their selling point, as crew alone carried a big part of 2k11, even after the servers went down because of new games being released, people were mad at them for shutting them down, that says something, that being said to expect improvements in other modes was kind of obviously not gonna happen, since aside from how you may see it, i say the majority of the users play online more than association, and 2k probably thinks that too, they obviously didn't go on detail with the little things, but for a crew surrounded player like me, i could care less, thats why i mentioned that i only recommend people to get the game if their gonna play online too.

Yeah I could see where online gamers would be more happy than say the offline gamers are. I do think I remember a poll back a year or so ago asking if people preferred online or Association, and surprisingly Assocaition was still the preferred mode. Kind of surprised me actually and Im someone who has never played online.

It fine if you could care less aout somehting being broke, thats your choice, but to say who cares its not important is wrong, Cause the issue that was stated was it does ruin MY PLayer after a few seasons, and that is true. Hard to play when you have a buch of guys with no Off awarness and cant dribble on the court,lol.

LIke I said it dont effect me cause I dont play My Player, nor do I have any desire too, I stirckly play Association and use Custom drafts classes, but I do feel for the people that do play that mode, cause it will be whacked after a few years, and a lot of people will play their intire career out. I agree in its repetitive, but each his own I guess not something that interest me, but Im not going to fault someone that does enjoy that mode. Personally I find Crew mode to be stupid, and have no desire to play it, but Im gald they brought it back because I know a lot of people love that mode.

Bottom line is 2k should make all modes playable, especially when you basically sell the customers last years game over again.

Re: Last gen impressions?

This isn't the same game as last year.
Its a cross between 2k11 and 2k14.


It has 2k11's blocking. 2K14 was terrible in regards to block shots. You could drive the lane at will against the Ibakas of the game and they couldn't block.


If you take notice. The blocking response and system is almost identical to 2k11. This is a good thing.


Other than that. Then yes, you can make a case that the game is pretty much identical to 2k14 other than roster.
It still needs some under the hood work to optimise the cpu's behaviour and gameplay. But I can do that so all is good.

Re: Last gen impressions?

Ninja2k I just read your post, thanks for the update! You have swung it for me as I felt very similar to you.
Looks like I will be getting the game. I do have a £20 voucher towards it so I won't pay full price anyway.

You really need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills, because you still have no idea what I am telling you about the draft classes. But I guess it doesn't matter to you, because you are the world and all that matters. Please go back to the 2nd grade and learn the basic rules of English grammar.

Re: Last gen impressions?

are you able to edit the players ages in this game i.e turning kobe to 18?
