When dealing with subjective analysis as long as you can clearly explain why you scored the game the rating you gave you are golden in my book. I played a whole lot of 2K14, felt it was the best sports game on the PS4. Was extremely frustrated by the servers and the VC last year ... so I was not hyped for this game, until face scan was announced. Your review has helped me stay patient and not purchase the game until the bugs are worked out. As you stated in your replies that is part of a reviewer to help people weigh their purchasing decisions. I mostly game offline but still want a game that works. I will wait until holiday sales before I buy, thanks!

Thanks! I appreciate it.

NBA Live taking shots at 2K for having problems would be like Lindsay Lohan seeing Taylor Swift have a drink at a party and going, "See!?! I'm not the only one who's messed up!!!"

As basketball fans, we are grateful for the competition...no matter how lopsided it may be. Once upon a time, 2k was the underdog. Now they are the behemoth empire that has stretched itself to far in its empire building. All these online dependent game modes when servers have always been their achilles heel. Again, I cannot stress how happy I am that reviewers are no longer rushing out reviews and taking their time to experience the horrors that the commoners experience when they dont get handed pre release copies like reviewers; who have had no means of stress testing their online servers when all is peachy pre-release.

I never understood where 2k's confidence came from to even attempt this. Their servers have always sucked.

Hoping that these servers are fixed by Christmas. That's likely when I'm getting this game. Starting to regret putting the PS4 in layaway. This game was the main reason I wanted a PS4.

7 is spot on, great review explaining the highs and lows of 2K15. I have the game for X1 and seriously considering trading it in. Still have not teceivd my KD throw back card, so preorder DLC was also a flub.

As someone who does not own NBA 2K15, I found this review very informative, helpful and thorough. Well done.
