Re: NBA 2K15 Gameplay Videos - Warriors vs. Wizards, Pelicans vs. Clippers, Shaq & Er

I enjoyed a lot of what I saw. It appears as though gameplay would be a fun experience. The graphics are nice (but those Warriors alts are awful). The passing still looks a little finnicky at times, both in terms of float and certain moments where it appears a ball should be getting tipped but it's not (7:10).

Also, I understand there's been a push back and reduction of cameramen along the baseline in real life, but is it really just one cameraman per quadrant? Hopefully, if I were playing the game myself my attention would not be drawn to that aspect but it's still looking awfully baron out there, with the Wizards mascot having his own personal mass of space and whatnot.

Separately, I dug Bogut's dunk attempt animation (apologies for not recalling the time in the video for reference). There's some nice animations popping up around the hoop.

The Verizon Center is wayyyy too dark. The lighting is nothing like real life.

They probably do that on purpose in order to improve performance/framerates. Just my guess.

Why are we still unable to see stamina when making substitutions with the d-pad?

Because 2k hates us. Having to call a full timeout just to see how tired your players are is so frustrating. I don't really understand it.

You could also pause and do your subs, it's not as quick, but it's the best way to do them without calling a TO. People are so dramatic.

That's actually not it, if anything cutting sideline characters and crowd detail improves performance. This is a 2k thing and it's been like this since about 2k8 or 2k9.

Is anyone else concerned with the number of Illegal/Moving screen fouls being called between these vids and the live stream the other night? Hopefully a slider adjustment can help that if it turns out to be too much of a problem in the game.

Seems like the music is all muted in the video?

I reckon it is, since that Ernie & Shaq part would be really boring without at least some background music.

As was in my thread, it's so empty. It's especially noticeable when you are in big games. The NBA only limited it to five PER SIDE of the basket. So 10 on each side of the floor and they have to leave I believe a certain amount of feet for players to run past the basket. Either way, the switch to NG has been brutal on some of the smaller details.

In the future, it'd be cool if 2K could find a way to just slightly reel in the types of alley-oop that occurs at 8:55 of the Warriors video, where a pass can be initiated while a receiver hasn't even reached the three point line yet, as the ball will float as high as necessary to allow that player to super speed under for the jam.

I believe that has been acknowledged by folks in charge. I cannot recall for sure, but I thought I recall them saying it may need to be tweaked a little bit.

Bummer. Again though, hopefully the action on the court will lead me to not notice the baselines too much.

Or they didn't want the video completely muted by YouTube ContentID noticing the copyrighted song.

Eh, I try to never pause when playing an online game. On the fly subs while walking down the court is preferred. It's just a small detail, but it's not being dramatic in the least. Unless you were referring to the 2k hates us comment. Which still stands, have you not seen the implementation of VC the last few games? :P

It's being dramatic asking 2k to implement this most simplistic feature, a feature that they've had on all their 2k games to date?

Could they really not get someone else to do play-by-play besides Steve Kerr?

Okay, online is a bit different so I completely get your point there. I also agree that they were pretty off the mark with VC last year, but they're just trying to get dem checks. 2K15 thankfully looks like it's not VC dependent.

I was referring to the "2K hates us" comment. The community needs to simmer down every now and then.

Lol at this guy taking peterson's videos and putting them on YouTube like they are his. Unless of course he had permission.

Lol that's what it looks like.
