Exactly.. It's not like they take 4 years off like GTA to make such large leaps and bounds. IMO they do a pretty damn good job.

Yet, even the core gameplay in GTA has remained the same over the last decade and a half. The technology and graphical fidelity have just improved in leaps and bounds around it, IMO. I still love the hell out of both (GTA & NBA 2K) titles, though.

The many places the series can still make huge improvements (IMO) is in artificial intelligence, play calling, individual team offensive/defensive systems, collision detection/player interactions/physics, more expansive player moves/animations, re-introducing the D - League and bringing back the Summer (League) Circuit into MyCareer/MyGM/MyLeague.

Pretty big list and I think most will be addressed or improved throughout this console cycle. Even still, the game will never be perfect or please everyone but I'll be happy with no missteps like NBA 2K4.

I like that 2K is making minor improvements to its already winning formula. On the many short gameplay videos I've seen which might be around 6-8 minutes there has been at least 5 new animations shown which were realistic and smooth to me.

Add 4995 more as 2K has added over 5000 new animations this year.

These "muscle guys" are still very slim/skinny compared to the average person.. Sure they are cut up like crazy and in amazing shape, but they aren't like body builder big.. Idk if you've ever been to a live NBA game to see it in person, but even LeBron looks pretty slim. They say the camera adds 10 pounds, it definitely does, and the wide screen TVs make it even worse..

I get what you're arguing, it could be better.. But just a couple years ago everyone was bitching they were too big, this "too skinny" looks much more realistic IMO, and we won't see "perfection" until we can literally change arm size, chest size, waist size, shoulder size, etc all independently on our own.

Just check the alternative from the EA sports videos they've released.. Everyone one has David Robinson shoulders and giant muscles emerging from their jersey when they lift their arms, it's the same complaint everyone had about 2K a couple years ago.

For example, someone everyone complains about is Noah, but when you aren't looking at him from the side (where everyone's arm looks biggest) his arm really isn't that big.


And for comparisons here, not on the basketball court, his forearm isn't any bigger than this girls.


These guys in general just aren't near as big as what everyone thinks they are from watching TV. There are a certain few who are, but 90% of the league is not.. We don't need a game where everyone looks like Karl Malone, far more inaccurate than a select few players looking "too skinny".

I beg to differ from that. I went to watch Team USA vs Team DR here in New York's exhibition game and Demarcus Cousins, Faried, Drummond just to name a few seemed big to me.

Every shot was a contested low percentage shot, but every shot went in except the one miss which was a foul lmao. Same $#!T just a different year. disheartening, I want a legit basketball experience.

Well, maybe you should read all of it. You didn't get the game, yet you talk like you knew every facet of 2k14 and that you could see it all in a 4 minute cellphone clip. I just thought that was presumptuous. And it is. Of course, if you see the clip and it reminds of of 14 immediately, how should that be a surprise? You didn't really read my post, as you said, so I don't know where I claim you said anything bad. A little defensive aren't you? The fact of the matter is that there ARE new animations in that clip. But if you had actually bought 2k14, you would have seen them. No one says you have to buy either game.



I've been playing it since Dreamcast. And I agree it's pretty similar. Why shouldn't it be? It's their vision and it's a game millions of people love. So, why on Earth should it undergo some drastic change?



Where do I attempt to change your opinion? I just noted that your opinion is less informed than you may want people to believe. And for the record, I agree with the main point of that opinion. 2K15 looks similar 2K14. And, in many opinions, that's is actually a good thing.

So, I have to buy 2K14 NG to see them? Why? I've watched it a lot on YT and seen them. What the hell are you talking about? Nothing I've really seen look different. Maybe that funky foul call, but I've seen most of these things before even on 360 lol. Again, what are you talking about? Nobody's says I have to buy either game? You're just talking now lol.

Who in the hell said it shouldn't be? I just said it looks like 2K14 so far and in the same post said, "I am happy". All this stuff you are saying I've never said in my post. I never said anything about a drastic change or anything.

How is it less informed, tell me lol. I am going off what I as in myself saw off the only gameplay I've seen. It looks very similar to 2K14. And I didn't see any of the new animations they've added this year so far. I bet if I said, "This gameplay looks so fresh, look how different this looks." I wouldn't even hear nothing about it being a short clip lol.

Again, who said it's not? You're the on a defensive about someone's opinion that you agree with lol. You're crying about nothing honestly.

Im interested in what people were expecting. It looks like a 2k game. It looks like an improved 2k14 which is what everyone shouldve been expecting.

What game offers SIGNIFICANT gameplay changes year to year? Madden looks like an improved Madden 25 with new presentation elements. Same with FIFA. Same with the Show. Same with Live.

Why do people expect to be blown away every year when no sports video game ever do that?

Thank you. I say the same thing about ALL sports games and most games in general. All feel like like a slightly improved version of it's predecessor...........which is what I expect.

Can we please improve floor spacing?? Why is everyone bumping into each other? That is something that needs serious work..They might need to make the court bigger.Or work on the AI..

There were only 3 shots made in that video. Durant with a fallaway (which is not a "low percentage shot" for him when it creates that kind of room), Kyrie with a pull up in the lane (good contest, but Kyrie is good at those stop-n-pops and it was only a 13-14 ft shot), and the Love layup which was kind of wonky looking and I could understand having gripes with. But it certainly wasn't like every shot was some crazy animation that always went in. There's a good look from 3 for the Cavs early in the video that clangs on the rim (really like the rebound animation following that). Don't really think you can make that claim off of 3 made shots and 4 mins of video.

2k11 still had the best floor spacing . Anyone agree?

This shouldn't be an issue if the bigs would do a automatic tiny pick animation.....still get a bit of Mario running...

It just seems like the AI is aware of the ball and their defender, but not so much their teammates. They react and try to spot up in relation to the ball and their defender, but whenever two of them get the same idea and go to the same spot, they don't seem to recognize that they are standing right on top of each other.

As much as anything, the AI players need to be aware of their teammates and not bunch up. That allows one defender to play the passing lanes for both guys and puts you, as a ball handler, at a big disadvantage.

Court and player size don't really matter IMO...it's more about the behavior of your team mates..

It's something 2k really needs to continue to dial in on...

Yeah, court and player size doesn't really look like the problem to me. I've never seen any measurements/ratios between 2K's court size compared to real life, but just from an eyeball test things look to be pretty close.

I think teammate AI; defenders that can recover a bit too quickly; and slow, floaty passes contribute more toward making the court feel small and congested.
