2K Announces Expanded Euroleague Lineup for NBA® 2K15

25 Euroleague Basketball teams playable exclusively in NBA 2K15

2K announced today that NBA® 2K15, the next installment of the top-selling and top-rated NBA video game simulation franchise*, will include additional teams and players from the Turkish Airlines Euroleague as part of their exclusive multi-year global partnership. NBA 2K15 will be available on October 7 in North America, and on October 10 internationally for the PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®4 computer entertainment systems, the Xbox One all-in-one games and entertainment system and Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft; and Windows PC.

NBA 2K15 will feature 11 additional teams from the Turkish Airlines Euroleague, including top-level FC Bayern Munich of Germany, JSF Nanterre of France, Galatasaray Liv Hospital Istanbul of Turkey and Partizan NIS Belgrade of Serbia, bringing the total number of playable Euroleague teams to 25, including every team that participated in the 2013-14 Turkish Airlines Euroleague. All squads will be fully updated to reflect trades accurate to the day of release**.

“The global response to the integration of Euroleague teams into the NBA 2K series last year was fantastic, and a key factor in our decision to include the full complement of 2013-14 Euroleague teams in NBA 2K15,” said Greg Thomas, President of Visual Concepts. “We know there’s a huge passion for basketball in Europe, and we’re excited to further expand the number of playable European teams to make this the most comprehensive basketball game ever.”

"After an exciting start last year, our partnership with 2K takes another strong step forward with an expansion of the Euroleague Basketball teams in NBA 2K15," added Jordi Bertomeu, President and CEO of Euroleague Basketball. "The appeal of our style of basketball to video game fans was evident right away with just 14 Euroleague Basketball teams last year, and we are sure that seeing many more of them in NBA 2K15 will be another hit."

It's nice for the Euro fans, but I actually forgot Euro teams are in 2K14

[AirJordanFan93]

Id rather them add 25 new legend teams than the Euro League

Try not to be so US-centric guys. Europe needs to eat too.

Re: NBA 2K15 Adds 11 Euroleague Basketball Teams, Bringing Total of 25 Teams

If they add more Euroleague Teams, then they should have his own Modus. Or they should implement it to "MyCarrer"-Modus.

[Cryolemon]

I'd prefer national teams to more Euro League teams.

A My Career integration would be awesome. I also forget these teams are on the game, but if I can start a season with them in 2k15, I might give Euroleage ball a shot. Plus the ball looks cool.

I wish for more classic teams too, but the inability to do face scans of the players, and individual licensing could play a factor in that.

I think this is great for Euro fans and it's nice to see some diversity. I would really like to see a FIBA mode added in the future too, playing with Team USA would be awesome. Maybe you could get to pick your own squad for the USA team.

Wait. How can it be 25 Teams? Isn´t only 24 Teams playing in the "Turkish Airlines Euroleague"?

Or make it so that if you do poorly enough in the draft combine/showcase (hoping they bring back the combine) you could fall to the 2nd round or even undrafted. Maybe you could go play a year overseas and try to be scouted.

Well, the the problem with "playing overseas" is, that 2k must also license some national leagues to be scouted, not just the Euroleague.

If 2k intended to add more Teams from Europe, then I would prefer as an Europe-Expansion of NBA. But not just for a Europe-Division, more like a Europeleague like "NFL Europe" does.

they shouldn't waste money for euroleague teams but they should try to get licenses for players like Barkley, Kareem, Reggie Miller, Webber, Yao and so on.
