This is by far the best basketball experience in console history.… Expand

   2K should really be ashamed of themselves for, ONCE AGAIN, releasing a game without having the servers to back it up. This game has so much2K should really be ashamed of themselves for, ONCE AGAIN, releasing a game without having the servers to back it up. This game has so much potential. Are we asking too much to be able to play an online game with our friends during the first week of release anymore? Is that the norm now? Prebook it, get excited, build your guy up for a few games then decide to take your skills to MY PARK only to waste your time getting locked out, having your game freeze, not being able to find friends, not being able to get in games, not seeing any games going on… It truly is shameful and sad that they were not prepared for this release.… Expand

   Worst 2k game for a long time. Firstly, as everyone is aware the servers on this game year in year out are atrocious and virtually make theWorst 2k game for a long time. Firstly, as everyone is aware the servers on this game year in year out are atrocious and virtually make the game unplayable at points as everything relies on being able to connect to the 2k servers. I've lost VC several times over the years because of these server issues and the my career, my gm, and other online aspects are completely ruined by shoddy servers. The gameplay itself is a drastic step back from last years promising debut on the new consoles. Defence in this years game is an utter joke as players move around like they're on ice or have no coordination at all. Even if you manage to stay in front of your man long enough, the shot clock cheese issue is as prevalent as ever. I cannot count the amount of times the AI has held the ball well beyond the 3pt line until there's under 2secs on the shot clock and they hoist up a prayer that goes in at an insane rate. But, the absolute worst part of the defensive side of the ball this year around is the success the AI has in making contact shots, in particualr mid range contact shots. Every guard and small forward with a high shot tendency will just hoist up mid range pull up after mid range pull up and they will drop at ridiculous percentage. No matter how much defensive pressure you put on those pull ups and how low you set their sliders at they still make these impossible shots. This brings me to my next point, the sliders seem to have no impact on the game at all from what I have gathered so far. As I said I lowered the cpu mid range tendency and mid range success all the way down to 15 on the PRO difficulty and they still refuse to miss these shots. On 2k14 I played on the All-star difficulty with simulation slider settings and didn't have much difficulty at all. On 2k15 I wouldn't dare play on All-star because I can just imagine how frustrated I will get. On the offensive end there are many issues I have found compared to last year as well. The new shot meter, while great in theory, takes alot of fun out of jump shooting at times as it's very difficult to get the perfect timing down. The new botched dunk system is quite dumb in my opinion as i puts guys with high dunk tendencies at disadvantages as they go for dunks when it clearly isn't on or when the defender decides to be a brick wall and prevent it. I believe the old system of just forcing a layup makes a lot more sense and is less frustrating that way as you still get a decent shot attempt instead of a turnover. As for driving inside I have noticed I rarely if ever get any foul calls even with the simulation settings on AI shooting foul tendency set at 85 and above. I have tried every way possible to draw fouls...quick breaks in transition, using a screen to get an open lane and drive at a late arriving defender, using pump and head fakes to get defenders out of the air. None of these approaches seem to work as I'm averaging about 6 foul shots per game with 12min quarters. A minor problem I encountered in 2k14 still exists this year in illegal screens. I enjoy running the pick and roll but the amount of moving screens can really kill the fun and most of them are when I have waited for the screener to get his feet set and then drive around him. Lastly, the my career mode has definitely seen improvements with better menu's and being able to sim any game you want (except playoff games). However teammate AI is still quite terrible as they lack any logic on both sides of the ball. They don't take wide open shots or when they do shoot they tend to make the shot much harder than it needs to be. They consistently brick easy looks as well whereas the opposition AI will kill you no matter how much defence you play on them. Players such as Jeremy Lamb and Rudy Gay (these 2 more than others I've noticed) become unstoppable attacking forces in the my career mode. Players like those 2 with very high shooing tendencies and decent jump shot attributes can't be stopped or even contained, especially by your teammates. Unless some of these issues are patched I can't say this game is anything better than mediocre. The presentation as it always has been in the 2k series is stellar, whether that be the commentary, new pre game show, halftime and full time interviews, the terrific visuals. But when it comes down to what we are buying this game for, the GAMEPLAY, it has taken a large step back in the progress made from last years version.… Expand

   Sadly it's impossible to play basically any game mode due to the servers. Cannot even upgrade my player because you need the servers for that.Sadly it's impossible to play basically any game mode due to the servers. Cannot even upgrade my player because you need the servers for that. Basically this is the exact same game from last year with a roster update and by the same I also mean the exact same servers. Impossible to play anything online. The "face-scan" concept is cool, if it worked. Most people report coming out looking like mutants or aliens. It's still a good game, but 2k needs to stop being rewarded when you cannot even play the game half of the time.… Expand

I took a few minutes to compile a short list of some issues I experience on Myplayer - the glitches are horrible (flying ball or game closing down in the middle of playing and other stupid things); A.I touches the ball while it is going out of bounds; A.I doesn't take the wide open shot; the A.I dribbles the ball out of bounds when I pass to them which counts as a turnover for me (this lowers my personal grade); 90+ shooting and the mid-range / long range shots don't go in near perfect release; playing intense D and my guy bounces off the opposing player, this results in giving up an easy layup since the Center and Power Forward don't want to play defense. The list goes on, I'm sure other people have equal or worse issues than these.… Expand
