NBA 2K15's Presentation Is Still The Best

Re: NBA 2K15's Presentation Is Still The Best

No its not. the quality of the in game overlays are that of a first year student thats doing a computing course.

Although i've seen a few people not like it NHL's presentation is light years ahead of 2K's. The overlays have a feel that they are HD, they also have the live broadcast feel about them with the NBC broadcast.

NBA Live's presentation is better than 2K's.


Also, when teams wear certain uniforms they don't even wear tracksuits on the side lines.

During GM/LEAGUE during halftime they have the goings on in the association, such as trades and free agent signings.... And scores.. Its there. Also madden is basically the same as last seasons...jim nantz and simms are robots with repeated lines. NHL15 is a lil better but still needs to watch out because 2k will lap them too as the already have ran laps around maddens lack luster presentation.

I disagree. Presentation is nothing special and was skipping it the first day.

Ive switch to pc version and things are missing from consoles. Unless something has changed, no halftime highlights or 4th qt assist of the game highlight or player of the game.

The presentation this year is very underwhelming. The pre-game show is gimmicky and, IMO, very stupid - it's not even funny to me. I don't think the commentary crew is very good either.

I can live with or without the halftime show but don't put in a lame stats at the half screen.

Plus it doesn't even look like a broadcast that would exist today. Go play a game on NHL 15 for the PS4 or XB1 and honestly come back and tell me if 2k holds up after that.

"...but for a game that's so close to reaching presentation nirvana..."

I'm going to disagree with practically everyone here. I don't get this "still" thing. I thought last year's presentation was awful in comparison to this year. Huge improvement.

Re: NBA 2K15's Presentation Is Still The Best

Dont like it as much this year either (playing PC version)... pre-game is nothing special, Id like to see players do their thing before the game, usually it just cuts to cheerleaders (i could care less about those tbh) and to tip off.

Halftime show is non existant, I miss the plays highlights etc.
The after play cuts are pretty weird too I had to turn those off, a shaky cam close up of a strangely looking face of a player after almost every play? Really?

I just find myself skipping through most of the stuff after a day of playing.

All i have to say 2k bandwagoneers... this game is ok has not reached its limit, 2k14 on xbox 360 beats this all the way...

Re: NBA 2K15's Presentation Is Still The Best

I'm sorry, I have to disagree with Chris on this one. NHL and FIFA both have great presentation, not to mention these aspects of NBA 2K15 presentation that needs to be addressed:

1) Watered down halftime show.
2) Stat overlays not triggering.
3) Excessively long cheerleader routines.
4) Long pauses in commentary.
5) Missing/inaccurate stadium sounds.
6) Signature Highlights and Player of the Game Highlights not appearing.
7) No post-game wrap up.

The game has been upgraded in almost every way.... I guess this is what happens when your the best... People nitpick. The stat thing sure its weird that it doesnt show on screen but we can all hear them talking about it. Cheerleaders on the screen to long??? Skip them if they bother you..... I think people want sweat to fly out the screen... Sweat don't hit you from the nose bleed seats you pay for and your probably paying more for that then your payong for this game.

Yeah, like I mentioned the watered down halftime stuff is weird and a disappointment. Other than that, I don't have a ton of complaints.

PS: I have played NHL. The presentation is fantastic, but it's hard for me to compare that with 2K when I'm not nearly as in tune with the world of hockey as I am the NBA.

Im not in tune... Or follow NHL either but but presentation is presentation... And sports are sports.... So when i compare 2k to NHL/madden/FIFA I like to compare how well the crowd and announcers reacts to game situations. Pre/post/halftime shows... Intros which 2k does beautifully (at home Carmello is introduced "carmelloooooooooooooo Anthony).I dont want to spoil the suprise but play as or against the defending champions in their first game of the season.....

[JayAtkHar]

Honestly they should've put Ernie and shaq in my career also cuz I'm never going to really have a chance to watch them online , I head straight to lineups and defensive settings !

[dsimms84]

My only complaint about the commentary is why is Steve Kerr still a part of the team? I didn't know you could coach and commentate at the same time. Maybe it was too late to hire a replacement or they just didn't want to start over once Kerr got hired as a coach. Just a small complaint though. They still do a pretty good job, even though I still wish they would add Harlan's catchphrases.

I am glad that someone else noticed this issue. I don't think that it can be fixed but you think that some at 2K would have picked up on this.

Re: NBA 2K15's Presentation Is Still The Best

Ernie and Shaq = Great addition
Player Intros & other stuff Pre-Game = Great addition
Cheerleader = nice addition

Once they fix the bugs (Stat Overlay, no replays, Player of the Game (playing on PS4 by the way, don´t know if it works on One)) I´m fine with the presentation.

But I do miss the halftime show though. I hope it returns in 2K16.
And if they somehow find a way that replays are being shown during the Timeouts and not straight after the play, that would be awesome.
And of course a weekly wrap up or something like that.
