    NBA 2K15 - 44 More Details About the Game


    GameInformer has posted 44 details on NBA 2K15's presentation and gameplay, as well as MyCAREER, MyLEAGUE, MyTEAM and 2K Heroes modes. Below are some of the key items of interest, but be sure to read the entire list here.
    • A new create-a-player interface gives you more tools than ever before to create players you can place on NBA rosters. You can tweak everything from forehead and jawline to ears, eyes, and lips. Many of the facial features and hairstyles are pulled from other NBA players, so if you want to rock the Ginobli bald spot with the sharp Artest cheekbones you can.
    • After big plays, Visual Concepts has worked in new camera angles to highlight player reactions.
    • To improve the defense and make A.I. players look more in control, Visual Concepts fixed how they move in small spaces, making it look less frantic. They are much better at avoiding overreactions and react more fluidly when adjusting to offensive movement. Since they stay at home, it's easier to re-orient yourself when you switch to a new defender as well.
    • To help differentiate between teams after a set play breaks down, each one uses their true base set in NBA 2K15. Now when you play the Heat, which Jones jokes doesn't truly have a big (sorry Bosh), they will run a four-out one-in set. The Spurs, on the other hand, will have three-out two-in base set.
    • During your second year, Doc Rivers will take over as the head coach of your team. Players will have a more intense relationship with Rivers than with the coaches from last year, as he has expectations for how he wants you to perform and what you should be focusing on in a particular game situation. These include tutorial-like pre-game meetings with assistant coaches where they go over points of emphasis.

    Took a quick scan for some things we don't know:

    --A new create-a-player interface gives you more tools than ever before to create players you can place on NBA rosters. You can tweak everything from forehead and jawline to ears, eyes, and lips. Many of the facial features and hairstyles are pulled from other NBA players, so if you want to rock the Ginobli bald spot with the sharp Artest cheekbones you can.

    --During your second year, Doc Rivers will take over as the head coach of your team. Players will have a more intense relationship with Rivers than with the coaches from last year, as he has expectations for how he wants you to perform and what you should be focusing on in a particular game situation. These include tutorial-like pre-game meetings with assistant coaches where they go over points of emphasis.

    --To keep players from maxing out all their skills with 99 ratings, the developers are changing how you upgrade your player. Instead of micromanaging how points fall into individual attributes, you drop them into buckets based on specialties like perimeter shooting, dunking, defense, and passing. You can upgrade multiple buckets, but you have a limited amount of total upgrades. This creates more realistic progressions and guarantees that players max out in the low 90s overall instead of at 99.
    Okay, now THAT'S a problem. I'm gonna need some more details on that one. Cause there is no reason that Doc Rivers should just be taking over any team that you play for in your second year.

      Interesting "Buckets" concept with the upgrading during MyCareer.

        Apparently Doc Rivers is the new Larry Brown, moving from team to team at seemingly-random offseasons.

            Totally agree. That one stood out to me. There are also some positive improvements. Tried to highlight them, but didn't like the Doc Rivers one.

                It does seem really silly, but I'd rather have Doc Rivers over Flip Saunders as a coach in real life, so I'm not too upset about it!

                  I was gonna join the Spurs and as a big man and maybe get to play alongside Duncan but it would be odd not having Pop on the bench.

                      This is great news, it is now tailored on a per team bases ... now I hope we can edit that, specially to account for roster movement or even change of coaches or philosophy.

                      THANKS Da-Czar.

                      2KU has been enhanced with videos as well as the practice mode. Cover athlete Kevin Durant and other players have lent their voice to offer instructions.
                      Practice mode is back and enhanced, now lets hope this means Scrimaging on Leagues and practice plays are also back.

                          Ugh, not happy about the attributes for MyPlayer being capped even more. I actually want to make a superstar, I never play online, I don't play crew or MyPark, so my player being a 99 rated stud affects no-one else.

                            There's no reason on Earth that Doc Rivers should be leaving the Los Angeles Clippers for the Minnesota Timberwolves or say the Kings or the Hawks or somebody like that. He definitely shouldn't be taking Pop's job or Thibs' or Carlisle's.

                              I guess Rivers really wants to play for a winner, knowing most MyCareer seasons end up with the Larry O'Brien trophy.

                              This kind of makes me want to play for either the Clippers so that we can see completely absent Doc (with messages being delivered either through silent dialog or assistant coach) turn into suddenly a voiced one with a beef with out. Or get him back to the Celtics.
