NBA 2K15 Gameplay Video - Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

[BA2929]

These gameplay videos rarely do anything for me anymore. I know what the game is going to basically look like in motion at this point. 2k15 will be a more polished version of 2k14. Basketball is basketball. How different a foot plant looks from 2k14 to 2k15 doesn't interest me whatsoever.

However, show me a video of what I can do in MyLeague/MyCareer this year and what it looks like IN MOTION, and I'm down for watching an hour of that.

Their options are to either continue improving the formula, or start from scratch so that in a few years the game will reach a level that was previously not possibld due to the game engine.

They could still work with 2 diffrent development teams. Naughty Dog does that and 2k should be financialy secure enough to pull this off. Someday they just HAVE to and I'm sure they are not dumb enough to rebuild within a one year span.

Maybe they do this the very moment we're speaking. Guess I gotta put my hopes on 2k16.

This doesn't mean by any means that I won't addicte myself to 2k like in any year of recent memory, I just wish for that wow moment 2k7 gave me.

Basically everything I was going to say has been said, HOWEVER...to the people saying Kevin Love looks great, it's the EXACT same as last year. The only thing is they fixed w.e the hell was wrong with his eyes in 2k14 and now he doesn't look like he's about to fall asleep all the time. He has a entirely new haircut now so not only does that throw him off to me, but his headshape is weird, something about it doesn't look like him. Then there is the legacy issue 2k has with players' eye color. For whatever reason, stars can't get the correct eye color and Love is one of them:

Stephen Curry(hazel), Chris Paul(light brown), Kevin Love(blue)

I gave a few specific examples from the video.

Ironically people have made crazier assumptions about the less than 2 minutes of footage we have seen from Live 15. Comments range from "this game looks like garbage. Live is dead." To 'Wow this game looks great! So many improvements over Live 14". IMO videos can only show you so much with sports games. Animations, graphical, and presentation improvements can be seen through video but it doesn't quite show how a game plays and feels, especially from short clips.

Just read it...think we look as sliding as two different things....it was clearly a bad transition animation WB did trying to get in between 2 players...I think things like that are going to happen,..it"a not like he slid to get in front of a Kyrie drive...

The Love example I agree with though, hadn't caught it the first time...suck in animation on the face up...games haven't seemed to figure out those kind if angles yet....

Still looks way too similar to the previous iteration to me. I think I'm getting a PS4 soonish, but I don't think I'll be picking this one up. I just hope something lights a fire under 2K soon, because the series just isn't moving enough for me at this point.
