NBA 2K15 Gameplay Video - Heat vs. Spurs (IGN)

[JayAtkHar]

Smh I see no improvement on defence. At all ... Maybe just a slight AI Change but like I don't see no closing out or even better contesting. 2ks offence is fine what about the real meat of the burger ?

[Malcd9583]

I'm not gonna be bias here because I love 2k basketball, the only reason I ever owned dreamcast. The game looks like 2k14 with different lighting. With a short cycle I'm sure they just toned up gameplay and scanned more faces and added a few more modes. I can't really tell if defense is better on this video but the passing does look sharper. I'm a online gamer I want to know what they have done for online leagues and if they bringing lobbies back.

We as gamers need to evolve from the 'it looks the same as last year" stuff. Are people expecting an overhaul in graphics? Tweak the player models, animations and work on improving gameplay and online. The graphics have been the least of my concerns for NBA2k for years.

I agree, I don't know what does people expect. It looks a lot different to me.

I think some people won't be satisfied until they can smell the players sweat through the tv.

LOL! 4D FTW!

That Wade (I think that's who it is) shot at about the 1:10 mark is rough, I've always hated when you tried to take a quick 1 step pull up that they wouldn't dribble or the ball morphs back to your hand when it's half way down.

Wish they could get rid of the 2 back court guys coming up court together.

Players don't know how to react after scoring. It's like they score and then slide 3 or 4 strides, then back peddle, then they sprint down to find their man. Would be nice if they just knew to turn and get down court from the get go.

Transitions after turnovers or timeouts would be nice too, hell even a cutscene would be better than everyone just stopping and staring off into the distance for 5 seconds. I'd also like to see the bench greet the guys from the court after a timeout or end of quarter.

Just a couple of small things that I saw and a couple of things that I'm hoping for in the future. I'm honestly just happy to finally have some gameplay, though!

[Jakeness23]

Still looks like the guys with long hair (Josh McRoberts) have it stuck in place instead of it moving. I think last time that was in was 2K7. It's a really small detail, but one that I think would be appreciated.

This! I was hoping that it would be solved at this point.

It always depresses me that these gamescom vids are the first taste of the game you guys get. Old build, stripped down presentation/audio, pro/default settings, no plays, inexperienced users... it's just a shell of what you're going to see in October. I've been saying this before I even got in the industry but it's a mistake to judge the final product based on watching snippets of footage. For any game really. Feel is so important and you get none of that from watching these clips.

Still I'm glad these videos are tempering your expectations. Being overhyped for anything just leads to disappointment. But I will say that we've made big strides in gameplay this year and with experienced users on the sticks the game can look beautiful. As always you'll just have to take my word on that for now.

Same song every year lol I'm just confused that some of these users have been here for awhile now should know better. Bunch of short termed memories we got here.

So...left hand right hand layup controls back? I hated that it was turned into Euro step....

With all that you just said it actually has heightened my expectations because even with all of what's stripped out and inexperienced gamers on the sticks I'm still loving what I'm seeing! You guys at 2K are killing it with NBA 2K and don't even get me started on the WWE game! One day I hope and pray for the return of NFL 2K, sorry I just had to say it

Beluba, do you know if 15 is gonna be playable at PAX at the end of the month?

Beluba, you need to have a talk with the marketing department.

Actually I think the game looks quite good, in some ways markedly improved from 2k14, aside from some sliding issues here and there. Movement looks and feels a lot more realistic, and I totally get that the game looks less than stellar with players pushing the ball full tilt constantly, playing terrible defense and taking terrible shots. The game does look totally different when I play vs when my friend constantly spams the paint or chucks threes with Harden and Lin.

Same song every year lol I'm just confused that some of these users have been here for awhile now should know better. Bunch of short termed memories we got here.

Er, it's been hand layup control since next gen last year. Mike brought it back at the end though it didn't make the last gen cut.

Yes. Back Left/Right for Euro. Left/Right for left or right layups. Toward hoop = AI chooses finish hand.
