I give it 8/10 servers keep it from being perfect IMO

Not trying to "troll", or whatever the term is. But shoes will never be a factor in rating a basketball game for me. The gameplay is borderline perfect. Hopefully the passing will be a huge focus on next years game. And of course for all the online players, the servers need to be spot on, so there will be no input lag at all. If i want to play someone online, the game should play exactly how it plays offline.

the game is great...
and by now folks should know that 2k's weakness is the online portion of the game. they should look into handing this off to a third party if they haven't done so already. that might actually save them money also.
Id like to know the cost associated with the implementation and the upkeep of servers etc!!!!

Im a purely offline gamer, and this is as close to a perfect basketball sim as has ever been created.

Still lots of room for improvement, but when Im not playing it, I wish I was playing it.

Best console basketball title ever made.

It has taken the mantle away from 2K11, a game I played till the release of this gem. Post patch this game is incredible IMO. The amount of depth in MyLeague is insane. The level of depth in-game is better than any other sports game I have played. The amount of in-game adjustments and level of strategy needed to beat elite teams and very good teams is amazing. And if you fall asleep vs a middling team, they can take you out as well and exploit you.

Bravo Visual Concepts. Flat out awesome effort.

Exactly. I play My League and Play Now games and purely from a gameplay standpoint, with a few slider tweaks, the game is almost perfect. Shoes and accessories and other things are nice, but the core of the game is the gameplay and that is right where it should be. All the other things should fall into place after. I would rate this game 9/10 from an offline perspective only.

Re: Despite Its Initial Blemishes, NBA 2K15 Held in High Regard

Ive got Irving, LeBron and Waiters out injured. My defense was giving up 105ppg now its up to about 115ppg as Im turning over a lot and teams dont have to take the ball out of my basket.

Im actually enjoying trying to get within 20 points with my bench. Usually I would simmed through this stretch.

And in terms of randomness, I just went 7/7 from 3s with James Jones. Im seeing scores range from 85 to 130.

After losing 128-99, I get back to the title screen and the press has asked me about an online petition to get me fired (using my real name).

C'mon man. That's cold.

Yeah there are things that arent perfect, but as a core gameplay sports sim, this is unbeatable.
