No, but it's still lame as shit when you're in a supposed business meeting.
no it works just like in the old days, one uses VC then the offline uses an XP system

Lol I wonder if he genuinely thought that was accurate, didn't realize he was sounding ignorant, or its 2k being ignorant making all hoppers sound like stereotyped Black dudes from Baltimore.

Well jokes on us again, and 2K laughs to the bank. Repeat next year.
2K has been doing this for years.
Yeah I always roll as a center in myplayer and last year I couldn't get rebounds for shit. I up and decided to make a defense first SG just to troll people online and all of a sudden I could grab 5-6 rebounds per game easy with no VC spent on rebounding. Something was clearly broken (boxing out and animation coverage among probably other things). Much less of a problem this year tho.

I told you guys this game was a step back. 2k getting too comfortable
it's not though. the gameplay is much improved. its just a dumbass move to tie everything in the game to their shitty servers
you sexy as fuck bro

The gameplay (freelance offense in particular) is great.

They're way past comfortable with the online servers and functionality of the game. They're sloth level.

No the gameplay is actually better, which is a big plus, presentation as well. I just got some bad information prior about Mycareer being offline when it's still always online bullshit.
This pretty much. Gameplay is actually pretty improved.
No more crazy recovery speed, 1-3-1 zones, lane feels clogged with bodies there, contact feels better, speed and stamina improvements, players feel weighted rather than glide, and momentum plays a part meaning you can't switch directions at will.
Servers the only real problem

I've never played online so it's not a huge deal for me, but I'm still surprised given how boastful they were about the online stuff being what they put the A-team on this year. I noticed server errors this morning when I loaded it up to kill a few minutes.

If the stupid servers work properly, you'll find it under the rewards tab.

I find it to be WONDERFUL.
You mean the installation that was the same as last year or does it keep looping even after 30 or so minutes? It gives you a barebones game to play without announcers or anything so you can do something while the game installs or else you can wait 20 minutes or so (not sure how long it takes since I just walked away for a bit) and then you'll be ready to play.
I get why people think it's a bug though since they don't have anything telling you the game is installing and how close it is to completion when I could have sworn they had a percentage in last year.
So many people have brought that up as a bug though.

Well I have tried this game on two different PS4s, and it seems to be arbitrary when it decides to let you progress beyond the demo. The system has prompted me that the game has installed, and I get the "New content available proceed to Menu" prompt on the KD boot up screen...if only it were that simple. I;ve tried maybe 10 times quitting from the demo but it still brings me back to it after the KD screen.
But the bug I'm talking about in 2k14 is where the game initially wouldn't let you progress even beyond the Lebron boot up screen (even after it notified that the installation was complete) because it wasn't communicating with 2k servers correctly or something to load everything. Not sure what the problem was exactly, but there is no way this year's issue or last year's was anything but a bug. Unless there's a second and very lengthy background install going on after the PS4 prompt;s of the initial install, in which case what a godawful design choice, especially to give no notification of it.
edit: I was finally able to progress after letting the demo run to completion, but that in itself doesn't seem to be the answer going off of a quick google search. Anyway, glad to be able to play now! The menus are way better than last year.
I've played only one game thus far (Knicks vs Spurs) and some of the players have a weird sort of "black eyeliner" in their eye sockets. I don't know if it's a glitch, but I noticed that both Carmelo Anthony and Patty Mills have it and it looks awful, especially when they close their eyes.
I wonder if this is some form of new "black arms" glitch?

Gameplay wise. This game is great. I don't play online nor MyCareer so I don't care about that stuff. I can save my rosters locally and play MyLeague without having to worry about 2k's dreamcast servers getting in the way, there is CAP (although no headbands...for anyone is weird...must fuck with the models) and again the game is still fun to play (at times).
Good effort for my needs.
There are still enough baffling decisions that even I am not effected by them that makes me question if they won't pull the rug from out underneath me again tho. I hope Live gets their shit together to prvent that..but lolno.
also I normally don't complain about the soundtrack but holy fuck Pharell wtf...

Once I stayed connected I was able to mess around a bit (a lot). MyTeam is great, my first experience with the mode. I love having shitty players because it actually challenges me at least a little bit against the AI.
I did unlock one cheapo pack and got Nikola Mirotic, and the Jazz pack gave me Hayward so feeling pretty good about my team already so far. Lots of big men and a couple shooting guards who can hit a 3.
And yeah as much as I like No Doubt it is super jarring hearing it in NBA 2k.

Another HUGE HUGE HUGE ANNOYING thing:
1) the music playback starts on the home screen or myPlayer dashboard
(where you are for like 2 secs before you choose your game mode)
2) then it stops playing the song during the load/save screen, and plays that generic 2K beat
(which can last for 30sec -1 min)
3) when you are at your game mode, a new song starts
Defeats the purpose of hiring Pharrell if you only play the songs for 3 secs.

Yes.....the AI this year is steps above last year. Went into triple OT in the home opener against cleveland as the bulls....lost by one point. Still getting used to the new defensive feel. Charge cheese is definitely gone, ball handlers now actually know how to bounce off or go through screens. This game, gameplay wise is fucking beautiful.....by far the best feeling 2K since 11. All they need to do is fix there damn servers, and I'll be uber happy with my purchase.
