NBA 2K15: Yakkem Trailer Impressions (Roundtable)

[bumpyface]

This trailer looks good but I still can't believe how over hyped this game is every single year even after the gameplay is littered with exploits, cheese, and non authentic basketball. Every year I hope that this will be the one but every year so far I have been disappointed so I am going to hold any excitement until the game is tested online and see if the mechanics can hold up. If it does I will sing its praises.

I can see where there target is though and have stopped being as frustrated. I see countless praises by gamers that are only semi basketball fans, but to the gamers who live and breath ball, the competitive gameplay is a mess.

Man at this point 2k doesn't have to change anything. This is the MO. Hype the game. Hype the game. Hype the game. Their going to get their money simply because people will run out and buy it regardless. Maybe a developer will rise in the future who will address the needs of all of the bball sim population. Until then, we're stuck with 2k and live.

What does this have to do with the trailer?

Nothing he's just an angry gamer....just read up on his past posts....frankly I don't even know why he still posts if he's not satisfied.

So you're saying you don't believe they have made improvements?

I hate to keep saying it but trying to be patient but if the band's starts coming in hard don't say I want being fair or didn't let people know.

umm...there isnt much competition around these days, is there?

I think he is comparing it to a particular football game in which I still see animations that were in the game 5 years ago.

What worries me still is centers running stride for stride with PGs. We saw in that one video where Splitter chased down a point guard (forgot who it was). That cannot happen.


And if I'm a quick PG, I shouldn't need to use dribble moves to blow past a big lug if ones guarding me.

its a common misconception that it should just be a matter of blowing by big men with a guard. actually bigs are quicker and force settling for bad shots more often than one would think. the difference is actually in lateral speed, making them more susceptible to hesitations and double moves.

I don't think anyone pointed this out, but I am glad the cheerleaders do not move in perfect unison. if you'll notice you'll have a few a split second or so behind. I think little details like that show how much they pay attention to the little things. it makes it more real to life and not just some code that makes everyone do the same thing.

I liked the trailer and think the graphics are looking nice. Like many have said you shouldn't expect the jump we got last year. Really hoping for that College 2k8 feel in the studio with Ernie and Shaq.

The trailer was really nice, love player intro's, the cheerleaders and the lighting among other things but for me this wasn't a trailer to make me say i'm buying day one...the news about Myleague and the new additions to the 2k team is what has me most hype and eager to get into the game....this was just some nice icing on the cake.

You're reaching man. I'am talking about the trailer nothing else.

Fair, though none of those dribble combos were in the previous game, dribbling in general looks much quicker and life like, AD's rebound animation, the missed dunk, KD's shot looks better. The player intros look great, the moving hair.. I saw a lot that looked improved upon, I guess I'm just missing the angle of your post and what you're trying to critique about this trailer.

I think you are reaching as well. Reaching into a sizzle trailer, that shows a host of improvements and complaining about things that don't have priority in the actual trailer. Many of the games improvements in the exact ways you are complaining about are in the trailer.

And as a consumer we all want improvements. All of us. You seem to want perfection.

How am I complaining though ? I just stated my opinion on the trailer as they did. You guys are taking this out of proportion... Read my post in page 4, that's all I meant. I'am not complaining just explaining why I didn't think that trailer was super crazy.

I have a feeling it won't be much different than last year, graphics basically looked the same, Ernie and Shaq a welcome bonus. Hope they have create a player back, and 2k is it to hard to Jane real full sleevetats and new choses, so tired of the limitation in create a player.

For me I realize that gameplay is never going to be perfect so the selling point of this game is ultimately the presentation. Commentary, the crowd, player intros, all of those features which immerse me into the game as if I'm actually a game on TV, have to be on point. It really does seem like they put effort into the presentation this year so I'm really considering it.
