NBA 2K15 Adds 11 More Euroleague Basketball Teams, Bringing Total Up to 25 Teams

Re: NBA 2K15 Adds 11 Euroleague Basketball Teams, Bringing Total of 25 Teams

they shouldn't waste money for euroleague teams but they should try to get licenses for players like Barkley, Kareem, Reggie Miller, Webber, Yao and so on.

You're wrong. Basketball is a GLOBAL game and I think they have a wide audience overseas in Europe and beyond. You should know that coming from Germany...I like it. It's a nice addition.

Besides they could do both, they have enough money.

This is a very cool add for the Euroleague fans. I'm sure if I lived there and was a fan, I would be very excited.

Personally, I'll never touch any of the Euroleague stuff and would much rather have more legend teams. I really want a Suns team with Thunder Dan and Barkley.

Everyone knows 2K cant go to the next level until they include Australian teams.

2k should add a team builder option, and mode that integrates drafted players from that mode. This way instead of just creating draft picks we can play with the players and scout off of the progress. Every year players from Europe have big time lottery success nad late round stars are found in Europe. Put that in the game. Make a league where its playable and draftees come from it. Or just add college hoops as a DLC add on and that will settle it. Long over due.

This year alone we missed out on great CBB. And teams.

Why not keep the euroleagues and get licenses for legendary college teams. Like older NCAA did, and Coach K basketball. Can five, magic and bird, Jordan's Tar heels, Kentucky teams Runnin Rebels etc.

I play a quick match with euro teams a few times a month. I like it, and i know less than 1% of the players on the rosters. It's gotta be great for european basketball fans.

Basketball is a global game but this is NBA 2k and not Basketball 2k.

I like it, its nice to have the option to play with European teams. Whats the issue? Why would you complain about having MORE options. Plus it could lead to more career mode options.

I am a hardcore diehard 2k fan, and tbh I have never played with a euro team in 14 cause the authenticity is not there, the crowds are the same as NBA ones, etc.

What 2K needs to do is leave NBA2K to NBA teams, current and retro. Then have a Euro2K and provide Europe with their own release, redo the presentation/authenticity/etc to make it a complete separate launch.

Then release Euro 2K as DLC for NBA2K14 sometime later on.

Space would be freed (if its needed now) on the NBA side and would give them plenty of more space to add audio content to the Euro side (crowd chants etc).

There was zero point in having them this year, it's all about selling more games in Europe.

Lol, okay and the NBA isn't global? Have you heard about Kobe Bryant in China? Jeremy Lin? The Greek Freak, Manu, Tony Parker, etc.

The NBA is global, and I think it should be in the game. I like the options, as someone said...why complain about more options?

They are trying to increase their fan-base just like the real NBA is, it's a business.

That would be giving 2k too much credit. They constantly complain about only having ONE year to release the optionless mess they call 2k basketball, and you think they have the resources to release TWO games in one year....

with much respect to you mr williams, you sir are hilarious...

Re: NBA 2K15 Adds 11 More Euroleague Basketball Teams, Bringing Total Up to 25 Teams

2k is probably trying to grow nba2k the video game in Europe by adding more euro league teams......it makes sense if you think about.

[Shadojoker]

2K did this the same reason why Xbox One went with total home entertainment vs gaming system. ...global or broader reach! This is just to get international sales and reach the global market. In my opinion they should do 2 versions. 1 for Euroleague and 1 replace the Euro league with more CLASSIC NBA teams! (2k fans been asking this for more of these years)

Re: NBA 2K15 Adds 11 More Euroleague Basketball Teams, Bringing Total Up to 25 Teams

I wouldn't mind if they followed in the footsteps of FIFA and allowed you to select from a huge pool of teams within their own league.

But what their offering is a far cry from what FIFA has. There's well over 25 different leagues in FIFA.

In my opinion unless you can offer the ability to play through different leagues this is nothing more than pandering for a few more overseas buys than a legitimate shot at offering something of real substance.
