The only thing I didnt like was how Lebron handled getting screened, he got spun around on one that ended in a dunk, and went under another leaving the ball handler open for a 3, Lebron looked like a sorry defender. I hope he played like that because it was on Pro.

Re: NBA 2K15 Gameplay - Cavaliers vs Lakers

again, i'm seeing issues with being able to dribble recklessly into defenders without losing the ball...the ball just clips through defenders without being deflected. stop allowing this, 2k. hold the user accountable.

at 4:37 the ball handler dribbles straight into the leg/body of the defender...no deflection. as the user, you should have to switch the ball to the right hand and angle it away from the defender to avoid dribbling the ball into his body...there's no accountability for dribbling the ball will nilly into defenders.

at 8:35 the ball handler does a reckless spin move into a defender...looks like the ball clipped right through the defender's body...it should've been deflected off the defender's body and led to a turnover. stop covering up for users' lack of awareness. come on, 2k. force people to actually watch where they're dribbling. quit allowing people to recklessly dribble the ball into the defenders' bodies with no deflection. people should have to be careful about where they place the ball with defenders nearby. you shouldn't be able to do spin moves in the paint if the space isn't available...if the defender is there, you should get bumped or the ball should bounce of the defender depending on the defender's location.

if you don't hold users accountable, skill and decision making become less and less of a determining factor.

There would be too many loose balls and the game would not be fun if you had to watch your every dribble move.

It's kind of pointless if the crowd intensity doesn't change. Especially when LeBron gets announced

Re: NBA 2K15 Gameplay - Cavaliers vs Lakers

huh? the tools are already there and have been for years...you simply move the left stick to the right and player will shift the ball to his right hand. this control has been in the game for years.

Right but to be able to control the precise angle of the ball just isn't something that's possible. The game could also use smarter dribble targeting on the left-handed dribble in this particular situation, but doesn't. To me it's not really a big deal either way.

SMH. Warriors were 3rd to 4th in defense last year, had a defensive first team member in Iggy, upgraded their defensive personnel, AND got one of the best defensive assistant coaches in Ron Adams. And they don't even make the list.

Instead the Cavs get their place by acquiring someone whose defense is harped on, and another player who was cruising on defense all last season. :P It's like Barkley made these rankings.

I can hope the Warriors are 3, but it's probably Indy or something.

Agreed. Fortunately, we can take these ratings with a grain of salt since rebounding is included. Next year, perhaps the Team ratings should be expanded where rebounding is its own category.

Thing is, Warriors were also a top-2 rebounding team, if I remember correctly.

All I want is more cameramen on the baseline!

There are only 10 cameramen allowed on each baseline now. The NBA instituted a rule this summer for player safety.

I noticed the user was controlling Kobe defending Dion with the left trigger, and instead of getting pulled into defensive he strafed right passed him..so hopefully defensive assists like that are gone.

Varejao missed a hook shot, we all know 99% of hook shots went in last year.

Big men can actually board again, good because I missed creating my center last year in My Career lol.

Re: NBA 2K15 Gameplay - Cavaliers vs Lakers

two new badges:


Juego Psicologico: can disrupt the player rythm


Taponador: makes the percentages of the offensives players decrease when he is near the hoop

Juego Psicologico is Mind Games which was in last year.

Taponador sounds like rim protector. Isn't that what shot blocking/verticals/strength/defensive awareness and post defense is already supposed to do? Unless its a bonus for intimidation factor.

it's not hard...if you're driving toward a player, a few feet before you reach him, you simply angle the left stick to the right...that gives you plenty of space to switch hands and angle the ball away from him before you reach him...simple. pay attention to where defenders are rather than just plowing forward with no awareness of your surroundings.

it's called realism. there would only be loose balls if you're careless. just pay attention to where you're dribbling and pay attention to which hand you dribble with and you could easily avoid turnovers. are people really not capable of this? all you have to do is move the left stick slightly left or right to switch the ball to the other hand...this control has been in the game for years.

But I don't see any broadcast cameramen. They usually have the car-seat style chair, also the mop guy is standing around like a dope. He should not be standing and wandering around like that during play.

These things don't really bother me, but I can see others noticed it and it makes sense to change it because it is a little weird...

edit.. ok I saw 2 handheld camera men per baseline, but it doesn't look right because as I said earlier they are not in their car seat, they are standing and they are usually close to the basket in real life. Not standing ~4 meters away from it standing in front of people .. .and the mop guy has better position than them! lol

The dribbling animations, controls, and movement in past games were a bit messy to make this practical. But it's getting smoother and better and I'm usually pretty aware of ball protection. Isn't loss of dribble due to carelessness already in the game? I know certain moves that expose the ball and causes it to bump into defenders is almost always a turnover.

Re: NBA 2K15 Gameplay Video - Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Los Angeles Lakers

That's a little more realism than I want in a basketball video game.

It's like having to constantly press the "a" button to dribble the ball up and down court.
or like Elite 11, where you manually had to switch your ball hand.
It's like having to use the R and L thumb sticks to control the right and left leg of the player to run down court.

All 'realistic' ideas....but in the realm of video games, they're unnecessary. There needs to be a balance.

It's not really about being capable as it is actually wanting to enjoy the game.
