      So if it's only minor changes wouldn't it be better for them to work on the graphics and gameplay rather than all the little things? Is'nt that what people want?

        That is what people want but what did they work on this year despite only minor
        differences in graphics and game play?

        Ideally with Next Gen we should demand and get all the works. I'm tired of things disappearing
        then reappearing. The game should never go backwards...Things like player intros, mascots,
        cheerleaders etc should have never gone away. Keep on building the core game to be the
        best it can be than worry about all the other features and game modes after you've maxed that
        out.

        Also International teams are a must in this day and age...

        And if they can't get the rights they need to have a good create a team feature where we
        we can create the flags and jersey of those national teams.

          No they don't have a Kiss cam but they created the best crowd and presentation ever in a sports game.
          They also really improved the graphics and game play at the expense they took out a lot of features
          and game modes that will be patched in later.

          If you have an Xbox One or PS4 I highly recommend you download the NHL 15 demo and see
          what they've done with the presentation and crowd it really open up your imagination for what
          2K can do with NBA 2K in the future.

          Since it's only a demo also checkout the NHL 15 Next gen trailers on Youtube to see all
          the crowd and presentation things they've added it's pretty cool and when you play the demo
          it really adds to the enjoyment of the game.

            The NHL 15 Demo really opened my eyes to what it can do for a game. Having the mascot
            dunk off a trampoline, kiss cams, fans taking half court shots for money, fans taking pics
            with the cheerleaders etc. can't be that hard to do.

            If they get TNT or NBA TV presentation having different announce teams would be cool. They
            had Spanish announcers in 2K14 so multiple announce teams are possible.

            With Next Gen I want the full NBA experience

            OK, I can respect that no doubt, but as far as a full game its been said the new NHL is bare bones and fans are upset about it..which I can understand .... When 2k gets the full gameplay experience down pack I feel they can/will work on the little things...2k is known for their presentation packages being top notch past gen[ and rumored this gen with 2k15] give it time...I see it as a "want" moreso than a "need"...give em time...they are still leading the industry in that dept. I will say....

            ps I have dled the NHL demo..its NBC package is cool even with real-time commentators but it[the football game[demo i dled],futbol game[demo i dled], and bball game[even with espn license] still is light yrs away from college hoops,nba 2k, and the nfl2k series imo...cheers!

              NFL2K was great and I think the Shaq and EJ halftime show is kinda gonna be like that
              Chris Berman weekly show they had in that game.

              As for 2K making an amazing crowd with the ideas I'm talking about I'm not sure if they can
              add that in the next year or 2 or if they would have to build a whole new engine.

              I feel in the last few years 2K has concentrated on making the game more of a RPG game
              trying to attract non sports fans to buy the game and play some of those modes.

              I know those EA NHL fans are up in arms about all those features being delayed/removed but
              I think those game producers made the right call and that was to build the best in game sports
              experience they can than work on all the features and modes after.

              I'm not dawging 2K I just think it would be really cool if they do this as well especially since
              they would probably even do it better.

Those were much bigger leaps in technology and allowed relatively simple games to become much more complex and in depth, both in terms of visuals and gameplay. If you haven't noticed there hasn't been much in terms of innovation thus far this generation from any genre. Its mostly the same with better graphics, improved animations but nothing that has changed gaming like previous console generation shifts.

                    Its also much more difficult to rebuild a game from scratch compared to the sega, ps1 days. 2k could not simply rebuild the series with a new engine in a year and have it reach the same level of quality they typically produce. They would either have to take a year or so off, take a step back in quality in order to build the franchise back up, or have a seperate team working on a new engine while another team produces a game to meet the yearly date. In either one of those situations fans will get upset.
                    Very good points. But we aren't "there" yet. It's evidenced in the legacy issues which could/should have been solved last gen. The game has great graphics, presentation, and NBA atmosphere. But it seems all this is blinding ppl from the core problems that has plagued the gameplay forever. And it makes me sick to my stomach when ppl say things like "there's nothing for them to fix".

                    I BEG for someone to enlighten me about what makes the GP next gen? How can you call a bball game sim, when you can't even pass the freaking ball efficiently? PLEASE explain that. The defender's can move faster than you can move the ball. Which is ridiculously unrealistic and why 1-3-1 is OP. Look at the actual NBA champs. The Spurs won the championship because nobody could match their BALL MOVEMENT. Don't even get me started on the rebounding or lack of physics/ defense in the paint. I guess "sim" to many of you means getting all of the players socks and arm bands correct.

                    I don't blame ppl for liking what they like, but calling this game sim is borderline blasphemy. You gotta call a spade a spade. And i still have yet to see any sports game match the movement of that fake Madden 06 E3 trailer. They ALL have plenty of work to do

                      This is not a purple name response I am just responding as a member of the sim community.

                      SIM has always been a relative term for me. Honestly is there a single game in the history of games that we can't point out enough flaws to claim it isn't sim ?

                      If were only focusing on a games flaws to determine it's SIMness then no game would ever qualify. SIM to me is relational to what our options are or what has actually been done. In my mind it is even more of a direction than implementation because some implementations have to be done over multiple cycles.

                      Just my 2 cents

                      Also the bolded part is the key IMO and why I think it is more about the direction because there will always be work to-do.

                      If you focus only on legacy issues people say it is just a roster update. If you only focus on new modes people say your avoiding all the legacy issues and only trying to attract new customers.

                      Those are facts. But within the limitation of that system can you move the SIM bar forward year to year ? Again direction in my mind is the key.

                        It really adds to the game. Since Live has ESPN presentation they need to get TNT or NBA TV
                        presentation. Also they need to get rid of Clark Kellog who I believe is not a real NBA commentator
                        and just does College games.

                        During Timeouts and halftime they need to have the real life stuff that goes on like someone
                        in the crowd taking a halfcourt shot for money, the people that ride those bikes and balance
                        bowls on there heads, kiss cam, the mascot pulling pranks on the fans and refs.


                        Graphically the players eyes still need a lot of work but obviously the eyes are always the
                        toughest thing to master. Also some player models still need a lot of work.

                        Game play wise better spacing is needed, smarter AI etc...

                        Control wise they need to stop overloading the thumbstick and be able to do better dribbling
                        and crossover moves where you feel 100% in control.
                        While those are things that happen during breaks, it's not what we see on TV. I'm not saying we should have commercials, but if they're trying to mimic a TV broadcast, those things would be out of place. If anything, I'd rather see studio updates on the current game or other games around the league, coach interviews while the game is being played, highlights of key moments in the game during timeouts, etc.

                          what they've done with the presentation and crowd it really open up your imagination for what

                          2K can do with NBA 2K in the future.



                          Since it's only a demo also checkout the NHL 15 Next gen trailers on Youtube to see all

                          the crowd and presentation things they've added it's pretty cool and when you play the demo

                          it really adds to the enjoyment of the game.

                          I will later today. Can't believe after all this time, 2K doesn't have the "sound" of the game and atmosphere down yet.

                          Whoever from Live did the crowd in Live 10, I believe, needs to slide over to 2K as well.

                            This forum gets more and more ridiculous with these cockamamie out of control expectations. It's like a game can't be deemed a simulation to some of you until it precisely matches real life. Trying to lump the games together by declaring them all flawed makes no sense whatsoever, unless you take the extremist view you're taking.
                            HBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

                              I think they should do a little if both. From a broadcast and "being there" POV. I remember discussing amongst a group of guys over Xbox Live and viewed a thread on here.

                              Some people look at it differently. I play on broadcast camera honestly because it looks better to me. But I like to play like I am watching a game on TV. But other people, mainly people that plays on 2K cam, likes to think of it as them being on the court.

                              If you wanted to be technical, it's a lot of things that goes on in 2K that's stuff we would not see in a real broadcast. But, I believe going in both directions is the best option.

                              I Really can't wait for replays at a dead ball situation and a "Player Spotlight" sort of thing like NCAA Football did very well that Madden 15 implemented. When you're watching a game, say CP3 is going off, at a stop in the game, the announcers will talk about how good his passing or scoring is and show highlights of them. Also could be team highlights like blocks or turnovers and etc. I believe NCAA Football 14 did it well. This is just an example:

                              http://youtu.be/O2eG9qA7NwU?t=3m14s (3:14)

                              And, 2K15 looks amazing, I just can't wait for NG presentation. Simple things like analyzing during the replays would just make the immersion level be insane off something so small. I am not saying it's easy to do, just saying it would be a nice little addition. And cut to the coach, fans, bench, or players on the court reaction to the replay. Kind of like this:

                              http://youtu.be/j-iah3_eT8k?t=5m42s (5:42)

                              http://youtu.be/63sL5D1x33M?t=1m44s (1:44)

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..
                                Yeah, I wasn't talking about making the players "body builder big". I've watched games from courtside and attended the NBA Summer League in Vegas the last few years. I've sat and talked with NBA players up close so I think I have a pretty good visualization of their physiques. I know most of them aren't the bulky muscular type. Most of them, as you stated, are skinny but very cut compared to the average person.

                                As an artist that specialize in facial and human body forms, it bugs me to see something in the human form that's so blatantly out of proportion. I'm talking about the size of the arms relative to the size of the body and the head. Every players (from the skinny to the bulky) in 2K have super skinny arms relative to the rest of their body and head. And all their shoulders are of the coat-hanger type (I call it the Phil Jackson shoulders). Now I realize that some players do have skinny arms (legs, neck, or whatever) and some do have the wide straight shoulders. I also agree with many here that 2K needs to add more body types to make the players look more realistic. But if 2K is to have a limited (and generic) body types for whatever reasons, why have models with such disproportional physiques? Why not have generic body types that are at least proportional (relative to that of a basketball player physique)?

                                THAT is my main gripe. I would absolutely love it if there's distinction in thickness (for neck, arms, legs, chest, and waist) and in length (for neck, shoulders, torso, arms, and legs). BUT if we can't have that (yet), at least give us something that is not so cartoonish looking. The skinny arms and the wide straight shoulders look terrible. And yes, actually I was one of the people that complained about 2K having body builders for player models a few years back when the players were super bulky (lol, I guess I'm anal about player models). But they went to the opposite extreme in fixing that problem.

                                This is supposedly the next step in video gaming. Shouldn't we expect player models to be a lot more diverse than just three generic body types? I mean they got player faces generally on point, yet player physiques terribly unrealistic.
