NBA 2K15 Standard Edition - Xbox One

This is the best basketball game available PERIOD. The graphics, gameplay and presentation are top notch, the only aspect that really needs work is the online aspect because the servers are mediocre and this affects some of the game modes, this has been an issue with NBA 2K games for years now and i don't understand why they haven't given this the attention it deserves because some people prefer to just play online and this really hinders their opinion on this game (what good are beautiful graphics and awesome gameplay if you can't even have a good online experience). But don't get me wrong, if you don't care about online play then go buy this game NOW, it really is one of the best basketball games ever made (not counting online play) and it's one of the most visually striking games of this new generation of consoles (XBOX ONE and PS4). If you really wanna show off what your new-gen (XBOX ONE and PS4) console can do graphics-wise then go buy this game NOW and invite your friends over so they can see what new-gen is all about!!! 1 star was knocked off of my review because of the poor state of the online servers as of now but the game itself not counting online play is worthy of 5 stars in my opinion and they might release a patch to improve the online play.

Another year, another polished basketball product. The 2k studios continue to push the envelope in the level of detail in the game, from exact player mannerisms and styles to capturing the intensity of a basketball game. I'm currently addicted to the myplayer mode, where you start off as an undrafted free agent and have to work you way into a team. A+

Another winner for 2K Sports. Fantastic visuals and presentation. Controls are a little difficult to pick up for beginners but for experienced players the gameplay is outstanding. Variety of game modes is unmatched but unfortunately the game is once again plagued by server issues. If the servers can be fixed, this game would be just about perfect.

The game play is absolutely fantastic. The players move more smoothly than last years (which was also awesome) and the graphics are a little better as well. Almost every player looks true to their real life self and they even have their own facial expressions. My wife actually thought it was a real game when she walked by and seen me playing exhibition mode which is the same view you would see if you were watching a real basketball game on TV. Career mode is awesome as usual and I like how they have you start as an undrafted free agent opposed to be being drafted in the first round like last year. I haven't played online yet as I'm still building my character up but I know it will be as good as ever! Now the only thing I was a little disappointed in was the face scan technology that actually scans your face with the Kinect sensor or PS4 camera onto your avatars body. It took roughly an hour to get a scan that looked even close to what I look like but I guess that is acceptable being new and breaking edge technology and it doesn't change your enjoyment level of actually playing the game. This game is easily a 5/5 stars and I know I will log tons of hours playing 2K15! Phenomenal Game!!!!!

Everyone's biggest complaints last year centered around missing game modes and garbage servers. So far, they fixed one out of the two main problems, there are plenty of ways to play in 2K15. There are alot of questionable design choices here. The menus are still confusing, players are hard to compare statistically in MyTeam. Lots of load time which is unacceptable. There is something odd about the graphics, I traded my 2K14 so I am unable to compare, but 2K15 is not as flashy/polished. The team struggles with realistic hair and this is extremely apparent for cheerleaders and caucasian players. Doris Burke does not look herself at all, too short, way too skinny, no insult intended. Presentation, pre game show is completely flat, half time show is gone, no post game show. There are cheerleaders, player intros and the anthem. Gameplay is smoother, blocking shots and getting steals is unrealistic as the AI will frequently recover the steal or blocked shot as your players ar too slow to react. Folks are struggling with the servers, I have lost progress myself so I fear online will have limited functionality. Last year I was constantly dropped during MyTeam matches which was very frustrating. 2KTV talent, I must say wow. Buy only if you are a diehard fan.

This is most definitely the best NBA 2k yet!!! Graphics are AMAZING and the game is loads of fun. The perfect game to show off your new system. Tons of game modes that are both suitable for the casual badketball fan or the hardcore. Fun!!!

2k15 is steps above its predecessor. The gameplay is smoother and more realistic than ever before (which seems to be a trend every single year). A lot of the annoying bugs about 2k14 are gone, and there are many options for each game mode. One being the 3 MyParks to choose from and pledge your loyalty to. I believe there are weekly online MyPark challenges to face up against the other Parks but I have yet to take part in these. A few cons: the hyped up face scan was disastrous for me, and I wish 2k would consistently have the option to create a team complete with custom names and uniforms. Still I can play this game for multiple hours a day and stay entertained. I've mostly been playing in MyPlayer/Park and MyLeage modes. Keep it up 2K!!!

The gameplay is a bit more realistic, the graphics are very good, slam dunks are awesome (if you are one of the superstars), simulated scores have been realistic (so far), fouls are more realistic as I had opposing players actually foul out of the game, the interviewer lady does not look very realistic but that's OK because she isn't a major part of the game anyway, Shaq does a pre-game show which is interesting, coaches look good (so far), ... you get the picture As for online - It's 2K - There servers are not up to par. So expect disconnections.
