NBA 2K15: Yakkem Trailer Impressions (Roundtable)

Re: NBA 2K15: Yakkem Trailer Impressions (Roundtable)

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 get what you're saying, and realize you aren't complaining.. But your original post said you were looking for more animations that you didn't see, correct?

The video it's self was only 1:58, the first 44 second are intros and cheerleaders, then the video stops 20 seconds short at 1:38 to cut back to Shaq and EJ.. That only leaves 54 seconds of actual gameplay footage.. In that 54 second span they showed a new rebound animation, new box out animation, new and faster ball handling, a new missed dunk animation, new layup from Kawhi, saw that they eliminated the charge cheese, and various new player celebrations.. Also I couldn't tell for sure but the crowd reaction after AD's dunk seemed to be much improved as well. On top of all that we saw cheerleaders are back, new moving hair, new lighting/smoke during the player introductions, and the player introductions themselves..

I guess I'm just curious as to how they were supposed to fit or show more in a 54 second time span than what they already did. I could understand your post more if this were a 10 minute long in depth video, that way we would actually know if there were lots of new animations, or improved old animations or not.

One thing that isn't brought up often enough. The overpowered dunk blocking from behind (by seemingly any player in 2K14). Fast break dunks are high risk due to this nonsense. For the love of God, town this cheese down in 2K15.

Yeah I was very glad they implemented that but it does get over used.. It's hard to take it out, because technically any player in the league no matter how big or small can get a chase down block if they time it correctly.

Whats so flawed about 2k is that the chase down player seems to always get a large boost in speed in order to catch the offensive player.. That shouldn't happen nearly as often as it does.

Also the players on 2k will only perform a dunk that brings the ball way back, or reverse it right in the defenders face, rather than do a normal dunk keeping the ball away from the trailing defender.. Pisses me off, should be easy to fix.

Re: NBA 2K15: Yakkem Trailer Impressions (Roundtable)

I wasn't really looking at the graphics for the trailer but more like at some new animations and I didn't see too many, that's what made this slightly underwhelming to me. I'd have love to see more crossovers, more layups animations, some sexy post up moves, some signature dribble moves.

No doubt the game is pretty and that this trailer wasn't bad.

Remeber a few of them gamescon videos? I seen some contact animations that i don't recall seeing on any of the past 2k games.

Another thing they need to work on is the stupidity of your teammates diving for balls or catching balls that are going out of bounds and are clearly off of the opposing team. 2K should also consult with an NBA rulebook. If you are out of bounds and the ball hits you, it doesn't matter. You are not a live player. For example, in 2K14 if the ball deflects off of a defender on an inbounds pass and then it hits the passer (who is still out of bounds), this results in it being called out off of the passing team. This is a flagrant misunderstanding of the out of bounds rule, and I am shocked that it wasn't caught during development.

Are you sure about that?

I don't know about that. I am not saying you're wrong at all because it has me thinking have I've ever seen that before in the NBA and I believe I did and 2K had it right.

....An inbound passer cannot be the last one to touch the ball. He is not a live player. This is true in the NFL as well. That's why you can't hit a player that's off of the field, and why a wide receiver can't just run out of bounds and then run back in for a catch. Out of bounds doesn't contain live players.

Pretty sure you're wrong, I don't have the actual NBA rule book in front of me to correct you but I know for a fact in HS and College that's not the case..

The inbound passer is a live player, if he wasn't it would be the same as a player who's standing out of bounds to catch or touch a ball and it not be called out on them.

Yea i hated the behind block dunk.
The alley-oop is overpower and too easy to execute...need that fix as well.
The ball out of bound off your teammate that doesn't look like it's off your teammate.

It's true in the NFL, but I don't know about the NBA. You got a link or something stating that?

Even though this feller is banned, just for the record, he is incorrect (as others such as oj already insinuated). 2K has this ruling correct already.

Re: NBA 2K15: Yakkem Trailer Impressions (Roundtable)

What I said still stands though, 2k has had essentially the same commentary team in Harlan/Kellogg since 2k9 and that's not changing this year.

But it's not a 2-man booth. Its 3, with Steve Kerr. So that would not be the exact same commentary team.

Although I see you're meaning these 2 probably won't be replaced.

E=You are correct because once the ball gets the defender it becomes live, the inbounder must get in play to take control of possession if possible. But, if it hits him while out of bounds the defense shall retain the ball now. Idk where ckgray got that from.
