How to make Nba2K15 CG worth it?

[Vni]

Hi.

Been playing 2K for a while now and I can say that 2K14CG is becoming my favourite. It's a game I will easily play all year long (with ups and downs off course). But how can 2K make 2K15cg not just a roster update?

Here's my ideas.

-First thing that comes to mind is to fix every faces that are wrong in the game. Parsons instantly comes to mind. It's a glitch 2K, he's a visual glitch that should be taken care of. Nobody in the history of the universe has ever looked like that.

-Bring back the escape dribbles from a standing still position. Thoses where in 2K13 but where taken off. If you now try to perform them you will just pumpfake. I thought some 2K13's escape dribbles animation needed to be removed (Some where covering way too much space, or theses who had a forward motion would glitch with the defense etc) but overall I loved them. I liked to be able to realise them with high post players.

-Absolutely need a new scoreboard. It's the same from 2K13 but with a different colour. Why not bring the one from the NG? Minimal work for 2K.

-Ability to make any arenas specific cameras your default one. How is it not in the game already?

-New replay camera angles, new stats overlays, new pause menu. Fresh.

-Bring back practice plays mode.

-Improve screens efficiency. Defenders need to be slowed down more when coming around a screen.

-Bring back shimmys into hook shots in the post from 2K11. Must have.

-Bring back ability to choose wich hand you want to finish your layup with. Should have never been removed.

-Fix spin shots animations. Why are they glitched in the first place when 2k had them right since forever?

-Improve teams jersey colours. Bring back the black colour. Spurs and Heat's jersez are grays. Bring back true black colour from 2K11/12.

-VERY IMPORTANT: DON'T REMOVE ANYTHING THAT WORKS FINE FROM 2K14. In 2K15 we still want to be able to block shot, we want the CPU to double team, we want contact on up and unders. We want everything from 2K14 and new things.

If they can do that, I will be onboard for 2K15 CG and feel like I'am not buying a roster update.

Agreed except escape dribbles....they are canned...they just need to add packages to add to the individuality of the players...you can essentially to every escape dribble from 13 in 14, just takes some stick skill...but I like the idea of doing it myself...

The ones I'am talking about are still in the game actually but you cannot perform them from a standing still position without and without dribbling.

Hmmm you lost me...

Re: How to make Nba2K15 CG worth it?

Yeah. I'd show a replay of what I'am talking about but the uploading replays feature doesn't work anymore.

Anything you would add to the list to make 2K15cg worth it?

Nobody on this? Are you guys planning to get next gen for 2K15?

Re: How to make Nba2K15 CG worth it?

I think with the fact that current gen gets all that exclusive content plus the changes proves that 2k has ps4/xb1 on the brain and I doubt if anything special comes with previous gen. Obviously they'll fix a few things here and there but I just don't think the changes will be as drastic. Plus previous gen BARELY gets any codes, again proving their attention isn't on us anymore

Re: How to make Nba2K15 CG worth it?

I think my expectations are pretty reasonnable even with a limited developement team but yeah there is a good chance 2K releases a glorified roster update for 2K15 on old gens while they go all in on the PS4 and Xone. Tbh that depends on what the market is predicted to be and at wich rate people are upgrading over to the next gen. So far I would say the Next gen (Not just 2K but overall) has been pretty underwhelming (at least from a distance) so I don't know.

Re: How to make Nba2K15 CG worth it?

I would agree with everything you said pretty much

I mean EA's FIFA world cup game is coming out exclusively on previous gen because they know the majority of their audience is still rocking the ps3/360

I've been away from this game a while, but for me to buy it they would have to impress me. I'm honestly not a fan of the live ball and how this game can turn into FIFA. More forced dribble pickups would be nice for weaker ball handlers.

Please dump that out of control stumbling animation too. Also a big thing for me is autosave. I really hate it being forced on. It slows down editing and just makes it a pain in the butt if you accidentally sim a game among other things.

Other little things like 30 team control working properly. I set 29 teams for the CPU to draft and they won't select a player.

The inbound glitch has been a problem for waaay too long.

And of course like you said Vni, don't fix what ain't broke lol

That's all I really got at the moment unfortunately.

I think 2K14cg has it perfect. You can block everything but at the same time harmpit hairs can't block dunks and layups.

What they could still continue to improve too is sounds. The player's voices (when they screams when running or through contacts) are terrible, rim sounds are pretty bad. They've added some new swish sounds this year wich are very good but it can be improved and woudn't be too much work.

I believe 2K15cg could be a great game in its own right. Graphics aren't everything. I give huge props to 2K for 2K14cg. Amazing game out of the box and it puts 2K13, it's unblockable dunks, constant and completely random off ball movements, animations who glitches your opponents, magnetic defense, unstoppable standing dunks etc... to shame.

I made a thread earlier about post moves being limited in this game, they need to fix that up.

Can't figure out why practice plays were removed, but get that back.

Also, put D-League back in for assocaition for pete's sake. Tired of seeing threads about it year after year, just bring it bak.

Re: How to make Nba2K15 CG worth it?

Bring back a coach mode that is atleast on par with 2k11. Fix faces (LBJ,Parsons,KD,CP3,etc-2k was borderline lazy in regards to player art on x360/ps3)). Bring in vtrcb,Rashidi,vanwolfhawk or anyone of that ilk from OS to edit playbooks and player tendencies (routinely terrible out the box). Drop Euroteams-all the time spent on doing player art for these guys negatively affected the time they spent on actual nba players imo. That tradeoff isn't worth their inclusion.

Crew game to me in 14 is somewhat disappointing but I'm happy the mode is back. In 2k11 they had it perfect. Then just like that they took it out the following year. In order for me to buy 2k15 they're gonna need to bring back the 2k11 style crew and improve Online Association a bit. If not I'm saving that $ into my PS4 fund.

bring back 2k11 style crew! half court 3's is killing me, that's not crew, it's just boring.
