    I am not one to normally due this, but with my recent purchase of NBA2k15 something needs to be said. The game promises upgrades and new game play, story, and a realistic immersion into the world of the NBA. The game does not live up to these promises by any standard. The new shooting system is horrible and extremely annoying to use. You have given us absolutely nothing new and exciting to keep me interested in your franchise.

    As a fan of the NBA2K franchise since 2006, I have to say I am extremely disappointed in the way you “upgraded” your game. NBA2K15 is literally the same as NBA2K14. Actually let me clarify, the game is FAR WORSE than its predecessor. Even the character simulation is disturbing, as some of the players in the game look nothing like their real life counter part. Everything about it is disappointing and unsatisfying. It is so bad that after playing for 2hrs I threw the disk in the garbage and began playing 2K14 again.

    After spending $60 on a game that I was exciting and anticipating, you have crushed my basketball spirit. It is simply unfair that you produce a better product for the next generation systems and leave us, unable to upgrade to those fancy new consoles, with this steaming pile of dog **** Why is it that we pay the same amount of money as the game on next gen and receive what seems like ¼ of the game play. Where is my career mode story? Where is my adventure in the NBA? Why must you look down upon us gamers who have not yet upgraded to the new system?

    It is inexcusable that you present a game like this to your loyal fans/customers. I’m not only pissed about my purchase I am livid. My warning to those who wish to “upgrade” to NBA2K15 is this. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, YOU WILL BE SEVERELY DISSAPOINTED!

    I have already made it a point to tell all of my friends that play 2K not to purchase this underdeveloped piece of ****.

    Sincerely,

    A FORMER NBA2K Fan    … Expand

    This is my 1st time writing a review for anything, so for me, that says alot. If you have the Xbox 360, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Stick with the NBA 2K version you already have. I have owned all of the previous versions and I would MUCH rather stick with my 2K13.

Everything I read about the improvements to MyCareer, story mode, real player voices, face scanning, etc, had me so excited to play the game, only to find out that all that stuff is only for XBOX ONE. The 360 version is nothing more than the same old product with roster updates, new music, new menu graphics. But when it comes down to it, it is the is exactly the same as last year and the year before that. You still have to play the rookie game, you still have to do the 3 GM interviews, still have to wait to be drafted. NOTHING THAT YOU READ ONLINE ABOUT THE GAME IS IN THE 360 VERSION!!! Its like they focused all their attention on the XBOX ONE and just gave the 360 the left overs. Which I can somewhat understand. But at the same time, if one version is inferior to the other, why are they the same price. Dont get me wrong, if this is your 1st experience with the 2K franchise then you will enjoy the game. But for people that have played the game year after year, you will be really REALLY disappointed. I returned my copy the same day I bought it and went back to 2K13.… Expand

    This game is a disappointment because on Xbox 360 the graphics are less (which most people expected) there's no My Park, no My Gm, and no My player improvements or story line. I ,may be thinking of getting NBA Live if I get an Xbox One

    This version of the game is borderline fraud. There is no MyPark and no MyGM. I have to play a rookie showcase game instead of the 10 day contract avenue I read about for MyCareer. I have never seen the mentor aspect of the MyCareer I read about. This game quickly became just another roster upgrade but the killer on that one is they don't even have the roster updated.

Shawn Marion has to be assigned to the Cavaliers. Mo Williams has to be assigned to the Timberwolves. (Yes, I threw that in there in case you thought they just didn't update the three-way trade). Etc. etc. If I hadn't downloaded this I would have taken it back to the store the same day for a full refund. Now I'm stuck without $60 for a misleading piece of garbage! Do yourself a favor and never buy this for the 360. 2K made it very apparent that they do not care about their customer base that still believes in playing older gen consoles because they still have value! This was very misleading and I will not purchase games from 2K again.… Expand

    I did not expect 2k to give us the same game modes as the current gen, much less the graphics and animations.

    But this is EXACTLY like 2K14. To those that were praising 2K for not forgetting the PS3 and 360, well if you meant our wallets, then yeah they did not forget those.

    If you were expecting the Next-Gen version of the game then you will be disappointed. This is nothing more than NBA 2K14 with a new cover.

    This is probably the most biggest let down and most borderline fraudulent claims that 2K has done ever.

    The hype about scanning yourself for your MyPlayer, the all new storyline that has been added, the major graphics boost. If you expect any of these or anything else that this fraudulent excuse of a company has to offer please do not listen to them. All you will left with is a $60    This is probably the most biggest let down and most borderline fraudulent claims that 2K has done ever.

If you expect any of these or anything else that this fraudulent excuse of a company has to offer please do not listen to them. All you will left with is a $60 reduction in your wallet and a game that is the EXACT same game as 2k14. I cannot express this enough, IT IS A COPY OF 2k14. In most games there may be a bit of an upgrade to minor things however there are zero upgrades done to this game, it's the same horse **** as 2k14.

    I don't have enough money to upgrade to an Xbox One, so I'm left with the 360. And when you charge the same price for the XB-One version that seemingly gives you an entire new universe to expand on and leave us people who are unfortunate enough to not have the XB-One with scraps of the same **** from last years game; that's just so vile that greedy gold-diggers should be your companies name for now on.

    They added one more game mode that is just a filler excuse to say what they've added. It's a game mode called 2kHeroes that basically allows you play as a team that is a combination of old nba players and face other people. That is the only highlight of the game for the 360 Version atleast.

    I would love to have a refund for this piece of garbage, this is the biggest let down I have ever experienced.

    In Conclusion- waste of my $60, and it's the same copy of 2k14 in every logical and literal way I can express that. I guess I did get something out of it though, this whole fiasco showed how much 2k truly is a money grubbing, inconsiderate company.    … Expand

    This is nothing but a copy and paste of NBA 2K14. No upgrades and hindered by connection issues with no focus on improving the 360 version of the game. The game is worse than previous installments NBA 2K12 and NBA 2k13.

    Such a disappointment of a game. Absolutely no flow to any of it and and the shooting bar kills any chance of making a shot that you aren't fully set for. Was really looking forward to playing with all the new players and teams but I just can't play 2k15 anymore. I found it so bad that I actually created account for multiple review sites so I could bash on it. Thats how much I disliked it.Such a disappointment of a game.

    I literally never complain about games, but NBA2k15 is one of those games that had so much potential and the superstar mode ruined it. 1. I am not a gangster, nor are most of the players in the NBA, why am I forced to talk like I'm from "the hood." 2. I understand that you want a challenge, but there is no reason to make your teammates terrible in order to make your player look good. 3.

    The game is good to play only if you have an Xbox 1 and a PS4. The same old shotty graphics thats given from the old NBA2K14 is on the. Got the game from the library then played. Dissapointed to see the same graphics. Updated my xbox and nothing new has changed. Worthless and a waste of time, Still will play the game but hating what 2K did such a crappy job on the graphics.
