    NBA 2K15 dribbles onto the court with potential, but its performance falls a bit flat. While it offers solid gameplay and notable improvements in certain areas, it fails to deliver at the end of the day.

    huge graphic jump from 14, mycareer is fun, one of the last good myteam modes without a bunch of microtransactions, and myleague is the same as ever but at least this year it was actually a newer thing

    Didn't play the online modes so this rating will be for offline only.

    I liked the gameplay. Simple but enjoyable. The 5v5 games are great and Blacktop too. Shame they removed the 3pt and dunk contest there but it's fine. Pretty good game overall.

    Messy, clunky, but real fun mess. The game is not as good as the 2016 edition, but it sets a great foundation towards it. It has several modes, and the be a pro mode is as interactive as ever.

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

    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

    Second revision of my review of this game. It's a great game. Career mode is the best I've seen in a sports game. The player interactions and presentation are second to none. I don't play online so I can't comment on that, however, that leads to the reason for the mediocre score.

    Better than 2k16 and 2k14. Faster loading, fun Twitter and easy endorsement. Everything just designed and played better than 2k16. Only downside is too many loading screens and my park not as many people to play with.

    NBA 2K15 is an impressive all-around product. There is a ton of content within, a lot of work has been done to the various modes, and gameplay and presentation remain strong. It's unfortunate then that once again 2K is plagued by server-related issues and with them having created what is largely an "always-online" game it's continued reason for concern.

    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.

    Su variedad de modos de juego hace sombra a todos los demás juegos deportivos. El juego online funciona muy bien, el my team es divertidísimo. La única pega para mí es la ausencia de ayuda para novatos en el modo My General manager. YA que si no conoces todo lo referente a la NBA sufres un poco en algunos parámetros.

    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.

    Great offline game. Looks superb and has a huge amount of content. Online playing is worthless and this is not the first time that the online component is broken in this franchise. That's why i can't give it more than a 7.

    Most of the physics in the game are accurate like for instance the way the jerseys move. Sometimes the ball physics may seem a little bit out of place and it makes some crazy bounces.
    The gameplay is fluid and surely better than the previous title, though the game still has its notorious exploit and glitches the efforts from 2k to fix them from the previous title are notable.
    The game offers a lot of replayability with 5 game modes, MyGM, MyCareer, Quick Game, MyTeam and a remix of the former Association mode that now has more customizable options.
    MyCareer follows the story of your creatable player and features cutscenes and voice acting from the real players, you can even make dialog choices that will later have an impact on team chemistry and such, it also features as expected a leveling system that is very simple and easy to understand. It´s enjoyable to play this game mode.
    MyTeam is back and still as its major flaws like the inconstant online connection and the over-use of exploits by adversaries. Never the less this game mode is still enjoyable.
    The other game modes weren´t as interesting as the previous ones were, MyGM makes a good attempt at making you a general manager of a team and you have to accomplish the objectives wanted by your boss, the franchise owner.
    Despite it´s notable flaws NBA 2K15 is a great game and is excellent choice for basketball fans, the franchise is notably moving forward and on a nice direction.    … Expand

    This 2k15 is a great game if you play it in "Next-Gen". There are plenty of gamemodes; MyCareer, MyTeam, MyGM... The mode i prefer is MyTeam. Before, I played a lot in MyCareer, but now is all the time the same thing, but if it's your first time you will enjoy it.

Sure there's tons of fun modes like being in charge of your own team, being a manager, hopeful college player making his way to NBA or being a player and coaching a game at the same time. It's niche but getting on the court and actually... you know PLAYING BASKETBALL is not the best part of this game. You'll enjoy playing as a coach or GM more than playing a game. Because the controls feel awkward, the characters aren't responsive and there's no amount of coaching in the world that will get your team to play like a real team. You're the star player here, you cannot rely on your team for ANYTHING. You take over everyone and do their job for them or watch them fail at doing anything on their own.

    It's sad that NBA Jam, NBA Heat and NBA Street Volume 2 are still the best basketball games of all time despite the fact that their players do inhuman levels up jumps. You feel like you're in control and it feels satisfying when you pull off a sick alley oop with an AI teammate.    … Expand

    I was torn with this game. I say this because after I started playing My Player I was not fully immersed from the simple fact the VOs they use for our characters are simply...horrible. They let you scan your face to get a decent representation of you physically but then make you talk like a moron? I mean they did add one voice to add to the one voice they had in 2K14 but both sound likeI was torn with this game.

I played basketball but guess what...I speak English...and properly. Not slang, not smack...just a normal speaking voice. That ALONE kills the immersion. The rest of that mode is fine I guess.

    The addition of scanning your face is great...but why only one player? Why not in created player? I have friends...I want them in the game as well.

    After the two above things I was done with 2k15 and would have given a 4.0 because sure the game looks great but it just had miscues on the things I enjoy I did not want to play it. And in the end that is what it is all about. But low and behold a fan created a 90s roster that I downloaded 4 weeks ago and started a franchise with. I created a whole bunch of my friends in the limited player creator(no tats, no headbands, no goggles, no glasses, really?) and took over the Raptors.

    Before this point I had written off the series...but being able to play against the legends and players of the era I enjoyed most finally allowed me to see how well this game plays.

    This is truly a good game at the core.

    This was the first game I bought for the PS4 and looks great compared to the PS3 version. Although sadly, I think this is the last sports game I am going to buy due to the lack of effort the developers put in sports game. It's the same thing as 2k14 except for the menu interface and online is a drag. It may take 10-15 minutes just to get put in a match.
