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

[RonRac1]

It looks good and all, but why is everybody so damn skinny? Look at LeBron, I know he lost some wait during the off season but he look's anorexic. But I'm still getting this, hopefully we can still edit player's so I can fix them that way!!!

Offense I can somewhat understand...on paper, they may have the most offensive talent, though I'd argue that the SPURS(#2 OFF) should be the number 1 offense in the game. But defense #4?? (*=good defender) Irving/Waiters/*James/Love/Varejao/*Marion/Miller/Thompson/*Dellavedova/Haywood/Lucas/Thomas Besides the *'s, the CAVS have poor on the ball defenders, poor pick and roll defenders and some of the worst defenders at the rim. They also have an unproven coach and no inherent chemistry. But yet this qualifies them to exceed the Clippers, Grizzlies, Heat, Thunder, Warriors?(might be #3), Wizards and Bobcats, all of whom are the proven top defensive teams? Beds, if you see this please take another thorough look at this. We already know that CAVS will be the cheesers choice; at least let them be rated reasonably consistent with their characteristics and with other teams.

Don't overthink it. The formula isn't perfect as a few others have mentioned, but this year defensive rebounding is included in the formula. The Cavs have a lot of great rebounders and that unfortunately inflates their defensive grade. I think you will find they play very life like

This is what I suspected and from that standpoint, it makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

Isn't the overall team rating based on the individual players on the team and the coaches rating?
I don't know how they do it but I know they don't put the ratings on the teams directly.

I actually liked this video!!! The overall flow of the game play was good. A bit better than last year's game

I like the cut scenes, I might keep them on this year, I usually take them off

I see you are a producer so I have to ask, does the CPU EVER take mid range jumpers and 3pters off the dribble cause it has been missing from the game for a few years and the slider does NOTHING at all to help this out. It seriously adds to the enjoyment of playing against the CPU because ALL superstar perimeter players take lot of these. I get real irritated when im playing Melo and he NEVER shoots from the triple threat or NEVER shoots off the dribble. Instead, they ALWAYS throw a pass that makes absolutely no sense or will continue to try and force their way to the basket. It really kills the realism of the game cause they do everything else at a realistic level. If you can, please run this by some of the devs so we can get this right before release. Im sure a lot of players will appreciate it if you did. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, it is, that's what seemed suspect. Player and coach ratings impact team ratings, so something seemed amiss somewhere. But when I originally brought this up, I wondered if they included rebounding in the equation, which Beds, has just confirmed. The CAVS have some strong rebounding, so being that this is factored into the overall defensive rating it makes more sense.
