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

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

I don't know about others but this is very disappointing news to me. I'm not against Euro league teams and I like the idea of including them because this game is a global game. But this just lets me know that, once again, 2K is ignoring the D League and the Summer League.

The D League is too important to the NBA to keep ignoring it. Adding the D League and the Summer League to MyPlayer and MYGM would only increase the depths of these modes and put it up there with MLB The Show, NHL and FIFA as far as being the greatest modes sports games have to offer. Instead they just keep focusing on attracting more money and more attention.

I wouldn't be disappointed if I knew they were capable of adding the Euro teams and the D League. I mean, The Show has 90 teams and over 2,700 players in the game that are all editable in some way and that's been going on way before PS4 so 2K has no excuse. However, I'm pretty sure that if 2K hasn't added that many players and teams then, they won't do so now.

This isn't a deal breaker for me and I'm going to be the ones preordering it, just for the opportunity to play with Wiggins, Parker and Embiid alone, but this news does nothing for me.

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

So if we follow your great logic, that means in Madden 15 they should onle have teams part of the "Madden league"!! What a great videogame that can be.
As a Spaniard I am very happy for the new, but to be honest. The Legend Teams from NBA2k12 was the best ever, and until they don't do something like that, NBA2k won't be the same. I have friends that since then haven't bought the game.
Also, I don't even know were they have the Euroleague in the last game. The menu is just horrendous...like my English.

Who said they are abandoning the D-League idea? No where in the news does it state anything regarding that. It was just news that they are adding 11 more Euroleague teams.

Maybe this is the year they add all sorts of features and make it an amazing game and maybe it isn't. We don't know and won't know until the game is out.

Stop reading so much into this.

[emelki1968]

Here we go again. Nobody asked for this and they added more teams that nobody uses. They need to scrap the Euro League teams all together from the game. Those resources could somewhere else that needs them.

So you thinkk they are not tracking the use of the Euroleague teams and realize that a lot of european players are using them. That is why they are adding more teams. And because the license is much cheaper that just Charles Barkley they decide to go that rout? Stop complainig about something thy are adding. The Euroleague is not the reason why they are not adding the Classic teams. It is money and greed.

I am sure nobody in the US cares, I dont either.. but the euro people love it.. so I am happy for them. Wish they would add some 2000 teams though. Would love to play with Gilbert Arenas Wizards/2000 Raptors etc.

Not going to turn this it to a bigger issue than it is. But I'm basing my opinion on past actions. Not just this announcement. D League hasn't been in 2K since 2K10. In 2K10 there was just these teams and the NBDL teams. No legends teams, no euro teams. Like I said, 2K has always been capable of adding more teams to the game. Just look at the Show.

Now, like I said my first original post, I think Euro league teams in 2K is good for the game. But I can be disappointed if I feel that they might be ignoring the D League again.

Now if you think they will add those teams to it too then more power to you. I hope you're 100% right and I hope my concerns are 100% wrong. But isn't the point of a message board is to interpret the news how you see fit, draw an opinion, and then comment on it without someone saying you're reading too much into it? We're all reading too much in to it to some extent lol.

I agree, I shouldn't criticize other for feeling a certain way. I just think it is really premature to write off certain modes or features being in the game.

We know hardly anything about 2K15, past games have been GREAT. This iteration (NBA 2K14) however was disappointing and a bit of slap in the face to their core fan-base.

Maybe they get it and will change and maybe they won't. For what it's worth, I'm excited to watch NBA 2K15 and NBA Live 15 unfold. I'm hoping for the best!

Well stated on both fronts. I'm hoping for the best - which would be the addition of more Euroleague teams, but also a bolstering of classics on top of rightfully returning the D-League and Summer League.

Unfortunately, while admitting it's way too early to draw any real type of conclusions, I admit to understanding where the doubters are coming from. On the surface, the resources likely needed for these Euroleague team creations in NBA 2K15 would mean, in theory, less resources for working on the team creation that'd come with a D-League, Summer League, or Classics improvement (virtually untouched for years).

Further, one would suspect 2K may move to concentrate on improving Euroleague atmosphere (and more). On one hand, if the Euroleague is bound to be included, I approve, for I feel it's quite poor to have Euro teams but seeing them play out like NBA games. On the other hand, again, without knowing if this is true, it'd seem it'd just mean more resources going into a non-NBA facet, thus possibly effecting NBA-based improvements.

Agreed. I can see where people are coming from, I just think it's a wait and see game for us all now.

There are A LOT of things consumers want so 2K is in for a real challenge to appease the masses. I'm choosing to look at the glass as half full rather than half empty.

[Gramps91]

I guess it's nice for people that use them but I probably never will.

[optimi5t]

Hopefully these euro teams will be playable online incorporated in their own euro online mode. Also 2k should really look into getting a license for national teams over the euro teams...however 25 euro teams is a nice modest gesture by 2k. Any addition and variety to the series is a good thing, shows progress.

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

I don't understand adding more Euroleague teams to 2k. Who even plays with them? How about add more recent historic teams like the Yao/T-Mac Rockets.

[Dr. Poe]

Need more historic teams. Need Barkley and Reggie miller. Kareem.

[@marcusjiles]

Id prefer some national teams. But if they're going to do this, expand this, create the European environment. Recreate the way they play.

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

As a fan of basketball and a father of twin girls, I'd rather see the WNBA added before Euro League teams.

Since my opinion doesn't count for much, I just hope they get the European crowd atmosphere correct this release.
