    One of the worst games I have ever played. Shooting is terrible. The meter's pace changes with how well they are at the range, so inconsistent. Not to mention other players heads often block the meter. Not a fan of EA but at least they figured out a basic in FIFA. Defense don't try it just watch them score and try to break but again forget consistency. Mostly just lose. Glad to see 2kOne of the worst games I have ever played. Shooting is terrible.

But never buying this turd again. If you feel the need to buy, play on rookie and get bored quickly.… Expand

    1.) Slow unresponsive controls.
    2.) 2K's response to making the game more difficult is to make the AI retarded:
    -- plays hot-potato with you and wont shoot open shots. -- AI defense is horrid. 3.) You will have to score almost all of your team's points in mycareer if you want to win 4.) Get ready to have the most lose balls ever, middle-school kids have more ball control and    1.) Slow unresponsive controls.

    Final word: Play 2k13, vastly superior game to this POS. Upgraded to current-gen console for this game and wow... sadly disappointed. New EA company in the making.    … Expand

    Since the servers arent working correctly, you can't really play the most interesting part of the game. I'm not really interested in playing anyone online, I just want to play the MyCareer mode solo...which I cant because of the broke servers. Really bummed and feel like I wasted money on this game. Buyer beware.

    The only comfort i have is that everyone is complaining about it this time around. I am about to trade this game in for NBA Live 15. All i want to do is go online and smash people, but sadly that never going happen with 2k.    … Expand

    The game itself is good, but not revolutionary. This alone would've earned it a 5/10, but the server issues that many people are experiencing (myself included... hello to the "MyPlayer account expired" bug just make this an infuriating experience. Just google the support forums to see what sort of issues this game is having on PC especially...

    NBA2K15 by far the worst or next to NBA2K13 game ever. If NBALive had the same My Career as 2k then I would have bought it in a blink of an eye. Nba2k15 hall of fame is just way too overboard. CUP makes 96 percent of their shots while my team makes only 25 percent. Players trying to take charges is ridiculous. Every player (I swear even Kenneth Farried) taking fade aways every possession.NBA2K15 by far the worst or next to NBA2K13 game ever.

Ball coming through my hand. My teammates playing no defense. Shot meter sucks ass. I make on Cs but miss on Bs. MyPark barely earn VC unless you just dunk back and forth. Every (not even exaggerating) player goes over my pick and rolls. Passing is absurd. Rebounds always ends up in the CPUs hands. I get a lot of contact but no fouls. Again (kevin Martin 3pt specialist) players missing wide open 3s or mids. And last but most, 2K NEVER LISTENS TO THE COMMUNITY!!!!!!! … Expand

    The game might have improved, but the servers haven't. At the time of writing courts in MyPark are completely bugged out, making the game mode unplayable. MyTeam auction house is down because of a duplicate glitch, and you can't buy any packs. The game also throws you back to the main menu every few minutes whenever it loses connection to the 2K servers that don't work most of the time.The game might have improved, but the servers haven't.

    Crap, simple, bad crowds, stupid AI, terrible controls, bad character models. Only enjoyment is playing with friends. Do not buy. If you like basketball why dont you just play it in real life? I give this game 2 for effort and a tiny amount of fun

    I thought that last years game was much better! The players are almost all the same size, Damian Lillard is about the same body mass as Robin Lopez, it's weird. I feel the game plays lethargically slow in terms of pace. Overall I thought it was many steps back from last seasons installment.

However, the biggest fault in this year's game is that you simply can't play it. You can't play over half the game modes of the $60 game you just purchased. Keep your money in your wallets, guys. At least until 2K comes out with a big patch and they sort their server issues.… Expand

    If you like waiting 5 seconds to pass the ball in, this game has no fast break and is for you. The game wastes so much time while you wait to pass the ball in the time just ticks away, so if you are losing or in a close game, its a serious disadvantage. Also have to mention that in NBA2k14 the charge was too easy to take, in 2K15 its impossible to take, even when you set up nicely.

    Man, this is the worst excuse of a game I have ever played in my whole life. This is going to be my full on full honest option about this game. Everybody is so worried about the servers, as they should, but what about the animations. The animations of the game are so slow, sluggish and hard as hell.

This is going to be my full on full honest option about this game. Everybody is so worried about the servers, as they should, but what about the animations. The animations of the game are so slow, sluggish and hard as hell. My Career mode, is by far the worst piece of donkey, horse, orangutan crap I have ever played in my life. 2K has turned this game into a forced story mode and everything that has ever come in contact with. When I first played it, I couldn't do much in it. I went to the Washington Wizards because of John Wall. The scrimmage was not cool at all. But I got a 10 day contract. But then the worst thing came about. Everything I did wasn't good enough. I would grab rebounds even though my rebounding skills were low. Now here was where I was totally pissed off till the end. The CPU have gotten more aggressive, more magnetizing, and flat out annoying. It's like the CPU players can't miss no shots at all. They can get to the basket without hesitation. And it seems like 2K just took a complete huge crap on MyCareer. Everything has kept happening and I couldn't stop anyone from making shots. It's like there is no kind of user defense for me in this game. I kept losing games back to back. I couldn't redeem myself from none of those games. It's like 2K is really forcing you to losing a lot of games to make their stupid story mode continue. That is the most disgusting thing I have ever encountered. 2K always say they are going to keep making the games better and better, but they always keep slipping up and making things worst then ever. I've upgraded my players attributes, but i'll like nothing will not click. Driving to the basket is impossible for me and not only that, I can't make a damn layup. Now what kind of horse S#^T is that. Let's face it, 2K will never admit the issues that they see in the game, but we can. Am I the only one that is highly upset about all the player movements, mechanics and A.I. MyCareer sucks so much balls, that this makes NBA 2K12 second worst, and now I can put this next to 2K12. If they don't have a patch to fix everything in this game, This will be considered to most awful, unplayable game in 2K history. This is my full on full option.… Expand

    Although this is the basketball game with best 3d models and controls in the market, it's far from real basketball. AI is stupid that it's always cheating to make you spend more money on VC. To make more realistic AI is hard, and unnecessary for the developer, I guess. won't spend money on this series until

    As far as sports games go it is Meeeeh. Career mode however is garbage . There is God awe ful voice acting, no reasonable standards for improving your player unless you buy coins,and slow unresponsive controls. Your career player cant do basic functions like pass, dribble, and rebound. Lookout EA a new **** company is on their way to kill sports games and steal gamers money.

So I changed back to rookie and it had the same results but this time it wasn't just the team screwing up, it was also my player. I had a few fast breaks and I missed the layup. I also froze on defense (I kept moving the joystick to see if my player would move but didn't until we were on offence). Whenever I tried to steal a ball my player's hand would go through the ball, so I tried to steal it so many times until my player would use the damn force to foul the ball handler. Sometimes I would settle for a wide open gumption and miss then the game would say "Bad take charge attempt" Enough with Myplayer, now onto the MyLeague. In MyLeague I play All Star mode because I play as real NBA players and not some dumb player you develop. I don't know if it's the mode of the game but sometimes I block players without touching them and it is called a foul. I played as Kobe one time in MyLeague and I was at the 3pt line and had a perfect release (Green) but it just hit the rim. I really have no idea why it is happening right now.… Expand
