The freaking game even loads faster, now I can start a game the second the first starting lineups appear during the pre game show. Now I can sell my PS4 copy woooo!

TarHeelPhenom, you gotta drop a link to that NLSC thread now bro. I need to thank whoever helped you. And thank you, too!

By the way yungmeaks, I added you on Steam. My ID is TheLivingLegend there.

Lmao I actually thought about running it as admin and chose not to because I didn't think it would matter. Good **** though

My goodness, the admin thing is amazing - the cutscenes are silky smooth now, and even the gameplay is a bit smoother.

Actually I think changing to Windowed Full Screen like someone in here suggested helped my gameplay the most - it's almost like Fullscreen 120Hz isn't really 120hz, but Windowed Full Screen is. Anyway, this admin thing helped the cutscenes a lot, to the point it's basically a seamless transition between gameplay and them for me.

Really curious to understand why this matters - perhaps without admin rights 2K15 isn't allocating enough resources or something.

But this admin thing is legit. For those not sure how, just browse to your Steam data dir, then SteamApps > common > NBA2K15, then right click on NBA2K15.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Run this program as an administrator. May be wise to do this in "Change settings for all users" if you have more than one person logging into your PC. You'll know it's working because when you run 2K15 now it should force a UAC prompt.

Well I'll be...****nning admin did the trick...not more micro stutter whatsoever and I'm not locked at 60hz....now I just need time to find so I can play!

I may be wrong but I think the game is loading faster because it keeps caching in the documents folder. If you remember the first loading of a quick game was slow and then gradually it became faster. That's why the documents folder is now nearly 7gb..

Edit: I'm thinking right now if we increase the paging file in Windows settings will have any good results with the microstuttering. I don't have access now to my desktop so if someone wants to try it would be great.
