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.


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.

Believe me, bro... it pains me. We even have guys in the office who can manage to make the game look gross to me. But that's just the cost of putting so much control in the user's hands. The good news is... most of the guys who are used to cheesing or playing unrealistically are really struggling with 2K15.

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.

Thanks for posting Mike, the level of redundancy of the comments after the first videos are releases is simply ridiculous, especially all those it looks like the 2k14, none of them have held the controls and refuse to accept that it of a older build and that the final product is going to look and feel different.

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

Excellent. I liked this control scheme the best. Seems to make the most sense for the eurostep.

2K should let a few guys record a few official gameplays from gamescom every year. Youtubers could be usefull for once. Or even guys from OS like DaWolf. It would be better publicity for the game than theses shaky, stolen videos of randoms who have never played a basketball game before.

Gameplay is gonna leak either way, might aswell control it and make the game shine.

Any way you can pull some strings and let them get some video of you playing at some point? I wouldn't mind get two or three vids throughout the course of the summer of you or Erick or one of the guys playing against the AI or each other in like a minute and a half, two minute clip just to get us a better look at how things are coming along from guys that can show the way this thing can look.

I just hope the Pistons jersey was fixed this year, as well as the raptors jersey.

That's what I like to hear !! I'm excited

Beluba, please, just a real quick Yes or No answer.

Is the defensive icon back or can we choose to see it at least for Online Leagues?

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

Nothing to announce at this time. Historically, we've never been playable there (though I'd like to see it be personally).

The good news is... most of the guys who are used to cheesing or playing unrealistically are really struggling with 2K15.

Indeed. I'm calling the gameplay team the SWISS KNIFE this year. Cutting that cheese straight in half. And it's beautiful. You guys will love what the team has done to battle that player behavior (aka cheese) this year.

Hopefully ranked games will be fun again. So much cheese in that the past few years.

I miss the old On the spot segments... not sure whatever happened to that.

They just needed to give you guys more time

Re: IGN Gameplay - Gamescom

I hope passing has improved because some of the 2k14 animations were so slow and long resulting passes occur 2 seconds after you press the button. Better intelligent passing logic and not throw passes at the defense players' bodies/legs, or throw bound passes in crowded area.

Re: IGN Gameplay - Gamescom

Any word on if Signature Skills will be in 2K15, Beluba?
