During the presentation of French NBA 2k15 , 2K Sports invited us to come see the new iteration of the best simulation (sport?) playing basketball in the company of Rob Jones, producer of the game in Visual Concept .
NBA 2k15 screenshot 4Initially, it was explained during a long and rich presentation of this new sequel (and even more, but shhh ... he did not have the right to speak). He started back to the presence of Earnie Johnson and Shaquile O'Neal, who will present each encounter in nearly 400 shows pregame recorded following the teams and different players involved in the event. We also, contrary to our assumptions, found that these are not the two lads who comment on the game, but the famous tandem of Clark Kellogg and Steve Kerr, along with Cheryl Miller interviews pitchside
NBA 2k15 screenshot 1Before the first game, Kevin Durant (star who graces the cover) features a short tutorial in order to discover new subtleties of shots of NBA 2k15 . The regulars of the license will not be destabilized by this new addition which, however, will help beginners. Indeed, a gauge, called " shot meter "provides a better feel when shooting is to be triggered, it does not change the habits of pros NBA 2K , but will allow novices to better feel the subtleties attempts. Of course, once you have unlocked the secrets of the AI to get a big slam dunk poster on the head of a defender, it will adapt to the next items are more difficult to score.
NBA 2k15 2Rob Jones chained to the different game modes, starting with the new MyGM . In this mode, it will manage all aspects of a franchise NBA , the players' salaries, to the price of tickets for matches until recruiting young rookies . Because yes, NBA 2k15 can simulate future seasons draftés university in order for us to make our choice for the next Draft . Your choices and promises are important because players will remember, even if the team changes. It will be possible to manage the development of young players through workouts more or less pushed, but too much effort causes more fatigue and increased risk of injury. Speaking of injuries, players each have a map showing the different parts of their fragile bodies. Thus, Jones showed that Andrew Bogut is sensitive back and has more chances of recurrence of injury at this point.
Mode MyMG simulates the match and track their scores in real time, but at any time, if the mark does not fit, it is quite possible to take the joystick to change the course of the game.
Mode MyLeague manages a basketball league from top to bottom, to decide the number of matches, duration or all sorts of options for setting one or season (s). You can do that using teams of NBA 's Euroleague or mix the two.
Regarding how myPlayer and Park , Jones promised more information in the coming weeks, but since the user myPlayer is one that combines the most hours of play in the United States in NBA 2k14 , yet more customization options for creating our player and other surprises to be announced.
NBA 2k15 screenshot 2Once the controller in hand, this is not a slap we took, but rather a return. In fact, besides the graphical improvements that have experienced players, the edges of the field are more alive. Indeed, the mascots are clowns, cheerleaders doing the show and the audience is more alive than ever. We expected to see people in the stands to be better modeled, have reactions more in line with what is happening on the ground, but we would never have imagined they could leave the stadium ten minutes before the end the game once the suspense is dead. Because yes, the public in the NBA does not want to end up in traffic, so once the game is bent, he left the stands earlier. Reproduce it in a game, it was inconceivable, Visual Concepts did!
NBA 2k15 will again, without a doubt, the ultimate sports simulation. We look forward to be on October 10 to have it finally in our console and discover all it has to offer us yet.
