Re: NBA 2K15 Gameplay - Cavaliers vs Lakers

I will definitely be contributing that future thread, Beds. Accessories and shoe accuracy have been two of the weakest aspects of the default roster for some time.

Nice to know that someone is present to see that concern.

I think you'll find them MUCH improved out of the box but I want them as perfect as possible all season long. I'm glad to hear you all are willing to help provide reference and helpful critique when the time comes!

Good to know you'll be taking care of our feedback all season long dude!

I guess you can't answer stuff like this but I'll try: Can we expect some insight,video or something like that explaining how the new gear/shoes color system works before release?

Great to know that you'll be on this man, I'll be helping for sure!the bad part is that I guess that we won't be able to edit shoe/sock/team colors ourselves right?

EDIT: and btw, I'm 100% with Factzzz, OKC, IND, CLE, NYK + Pistons "Motor City" alternates should be duplicated and used one for home and 1 for away.

As well as teams that regularly wear their home jersey on the road such as the Miami Heat. Or the Chicago Bulls that wear black socks and black shoes at home during the playoffs.





And the Portland Trail Blazers went with red socks and accessories (ala NBA Live 14) during the playoffs with their alternate red jersey.

Cpu is still not taking pull up jumpers??

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

Maybe it'd be easier for 2k to just make the shoes/socks/accessories colors part of the the jersey select screen, so the user can control all of that.

Of course, 2k could just do it themselves but it seems like a lot to handle.

Wow, I am thoroughly impressed. I typically play using the 2K camera but the broadcast angle and the living world looked pretty cool.

Re: NBA 2K15 Gameplay - Cavaliers vs Lakers

After the game comes out, I will start some sort of feedback thread where you all can point out things you find off in the roster, but I'll need you to be as specific as possible as opposed to "this is a mess"

@bedwardsroy19

I found this on my HDD and I thought you may find it useful.

It's a scheme I used last year for the colors teams used with their different unis. Tell me if u have some doubt or something...

One thing to note in that video was that unfortunately you still can't see the stamina level of your players in the substitutions menu.

Also there's no foul count on the hud aside from when you're fouling. Would be useful info to know if you're in the penalty or not..

Also defensive settings confirmed, you can see pressure on the ball, off the ball, force direction, lock, leave, post, double team perimeter, double team post, all with presumably multiple options (all on auto or manual by default). Bare in mind I just used machine translation on those.

Re: NBA 2K15 Gameplay - Cavaliers vs Lakers

Actually pretty pumped about defense this year....ready to see some direct footage from a recent build...because even in these clips it looks like one on one defense is miles ahead of last year. Surprised that no one had pointed out how defenders are turning their body's on defense. Also, love those defensive settings.

I just watched all 9 minutes of this, I don't know if I missed it earlier or what. There's a lot that stood out to me, for the better. What you mentioned 24th, is one of the biggest.

I have hopes that my issues have been addressed enough that I can play quite a bit this year. MySeason looks legit, and I'd like to give it some burn... this video helped me see quite a few gameplay items that I hadn't seen in the others.

Re: NBA 2K15 Gameplay - Cavaliers vs Lakers

I'm praying those issues are addressed and defense is better. They have to be for me to enjoy myleague, career or any other mode B/c I can barely stand a quarter of 2k14 against cpu or user


Has the cpu taken a 3 in any of these videos ?

@bedwardsroy -

The one item that I felt was an issue with the "out of the box" rosters last year was what I called the "Monta Ellis / Nick Young" effect. Seems that these particular players and a handful of others didn't seem to play within the team's offensive scheme and would constantly throw up shots as soon as they got a touch.

With Young on the floor, Kobe (nor Pau) would get their touches b/c as soon as Young touched the ball, it was either a pull-up three or an iso & drive to the basket to get his shot. Same with Monta. Dirk wouldn't get his touches and it was iso time for Monta when he got the ball in his hands or a 3 pointer.

Sliders alleviated this a bit, but not enough. There is actually a roster by timsmooth503pa (I hope you don't mind me sharing about this brother....) that got these players to play within the scheme to a certain extent at default tendency sliders, but just hoping out of the box that player awareness is improved in regards to playing within the schemes.

I hope I explained this clearly...And any info on this would be awesome.

****

As for the gameplay (Cavs-Lakers)...The one thing that stood out was at around 6:51 when Love was trying to set the pick. Actually, when he set the pick there was no one around to set the pick on...Young was already positioned and avoided the pick all together, but Love continued to stay in the 'pick animation'. Was wondering if players awareness on setting picks on players have improved? I feel like the pick should be set on an actual player, rather than a set area on the court if you know what I mean.

Also, I noticed (although these are shortened quarters) that Love got no touches in the video. The offense never ran through him. But rather, Varejao was getting more looks.

Just a couple quick thoughts on the gameplay.

Never understood why they removed the stamina bars when you brought up subs for last year. Now we have to deal with that again?? What motive 2k come on!!

Re: NBA 2K15 Gameplay - Cavaliers vs Lakers

Looks good as most have said, but I still think spacing and path finding for the AI will be an issue. I've struggled sometimes to play 2k14 (PS4) because of the crazy scramble that ensues when you call for a pick or as a result of a broken play. It looks like its better, but you still see the crazy bunching up in some areas of the floor. Granted, it does happen for real in the NBA at times but not that often. Guess we'll see how it all turns out soon enough!

The more structured you play the less you will see it. But it is going to happen also in any freelance where we don't have excellent coverage ( corners) it is more prone to happen.

For quick iso's and pnr's however we rewrote that spacing to be really good except in a few specific cases so if you hit those cases it won't be noice but overall this is a much improved area.

Every year we will find and eliminate more of these cases. You can't always account for a guy getting bumped or a user trying something that a hooper wouldn't normally attempt.

And I do think that in a video game, especially when your watching and not playing, you are prone to notice more of what happens in a regular game even though it actually occurs in a regular game.

I swear some people think no 2 nba players on the same team ever occupy the same space at the same time IRL. LOL.

The game is not perfect but we attacked a lot of wish list items to improve them as much as we could and will continue to do that.

If you see back to back comparisons of how 2k14 handled some of these situations and how 2k15 does it is clear to see.

Hopefully that's what you're showing today Czar... Right? Right?
