Huh. It's actually a bit smaller than the previous game. NBA 2K14 is 41.8 GB on PlayStation 4, and 43.15 GB on Xbox One, according to Eurogamer. Not sure what uses up so much memory, but I guess that the audio makes sense.

They could cut the sizes of some of these games down considerably if it weren't for some of the audio stuff. Some people don't have the setup/system to take advantage of that stuff. I'm willing to bet money the majority of people who game on console and PC play with the the sound from their TV or the onboard audio from their mobo..

Make all the uncompressed high quality stuff an option install/download

That and also 2K14 was the first Current Gen version, probably cut some bloat out once their engine matured

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Nice ot.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

like an idiot i have pre-ordered this game again this year. i am part of the problem

 

[B1gg_Randall]

it used to be you could just custom make your ideal team and go off and play season, exhibition, whatever. i want that.

Myteam is a online mode.You can still do everything you like in Myleague or MyGM.

Same here I have re-up every year like a fiend. At the same time NBA 2K is one of the few games I never trade in, until the next one comes out.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Oh they've ditched the VC crap!?

 

[The_Almighty_Swan]

I'm watching the streams online of the game now and the game looks even more detailed then last years game with even more options. Not regretting my preorder so much now LOL!!

 

[The_Almighty_Swan]

Here's a feed showing gameplay that looks pretty solid.

 

[Bacon]

How easy is this to play? I have never spent any time playing a basketball video game. Are the controls difficult to learn or are they pretty straight forward?

It's pretty easy to play at a baseline level but it has a high skill cap. Easy to play difficult to master type thing.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

LOL nice OT

Based is how I feel

If you haven't played a game in the past it'll be a steep learning curve. Make sure you do the Tutorial in game a few times to get use to the game or you'll really struggle.

 

[ViciousDS]

If i remember correctly this was the first next generation title to bring out amazing clothing physics correct? I meab it was sick to pull off a dunk and watch free flow clothing physics go to work.

 

[RedEther]

It needs to be Tuesday already

 

[demolitio]

I'm happy since the Cavs will be amazing, but annoyed that it will be the new bandwagon team and I'll automatically look like one of them despite living in Cleveland and suffering when the team was horrid.

I had no problem beating people last year with the Cavs since fundamentals actually matter in 2K, but now I'll feel dirty.

 

[Messi]

Will we be forced to play D with James Harden again this year or can we leave him at the other end of the court?

 

[SarcasticD]

Beautiful OT

 

[Got the Shakes]

So you're telling me I still have to split Virtual Currency between MyPlayer and MyGM mode? effectively neutering the maximum potential of playing both modes at the same time for another year? In a game i'd be paying $60 for? Sigh. Another no sale for me.

Yes or play MyLeague and not have to split them.

 

[Exploratory]

I won't be picking Cleveland. Let's go knicks.

Knicks all day! I have faith.

Already pre-loaded on Xb1 n ready to go. Hype!

!!!!! ! !!!!!

EXTREMELY RARE OT

And once again, LET'S GO KNICKS

We've got Phil Jackson, the triangle, Calderon, and lots of cap space coming.

And no Woodsen! Championship by the end of the 2016 season.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I used to play as the Cavs all the time, now I'm going to feel dirty. Damn you Lebron.

 

[Nastrodamous]

did they get of virtual currency?

 

[dreamfall]

Greatest OT ever~!

Excited for Monta this year- Dallas will be sharp!

 

[Got the Shakes]

I should clarify. In MyGM they do have a new XP system that you use in the mode. VC is still part of it, but used to but boosts that you can get using XP, but VC would let you get to them earlier. At least according to what was detailed in Game Informer. Sounds like you can basically play MyGM without ever needing to spend VC.

 

[theWB27]

Yes or play MyLeague and not have to split them.

edit

 

[Red Blaster]

the entire knicks roster is garbage

 

[Uno Venova]

Currently replaying rookie showcase because their attempt to save to the 2K server didn't work. Man if they still do this in 2K15....

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Oh man if they've canned the horrible VC grind and terrible 'spend more money' abuse I'll be so happy.

Saves are local and the game isn't online anymore...

No you don't....it went to an XP system

 

[Uno Venova]

Which 2K are you talking about.

 

[megabytecr]

Bulls all the way, those knees gotta hold up!!

 

[Justified]

Which 2K are you talking about.

2K15, he means it isnt balled and chained to online like 2K14.

Also each online mode is compartmentalized to different servers. So if one mode goes down it doesnt effect the others

 

[Ken Masters]

I want to go digital but I always end up selling my sports games and that means I wouldn't this time

 

[ST2K]

Oh man if they've canned the horrible VC grind and terrible 'spend more money' abuse I'll be so happy.

I thought it's still in for everything that isn't MyGM?

 

[Soi-Fong]

Bulls all the way, those knees gotta hold up!!

Please don't be sarcastic. *_*

Anyway, debating whether I should get this game.

 

[demolitio]

Same here. I think I might trade Madden towards this actually since I only see myself playing one sport at a time.

 

[PhantomZone]

I always seemed to get drafted by the Rockets year on year in MyPlayer (2K11 - 13). When doing my own Association mode I would pick the Bulls (tradition for me since Total NBA '97 on the playstation). Occasionally I will branch out and pick random teams like the Pistons or Pacers.

Looking forward to the pc version, I skipped 14 (even though I did download it as the free PS+ game months ago, I never officially played it).

 

[theWB27]

Which 2K are you talking about.

15

 

[megabytecr]

Please don't be sarcastic. *_*

I am a Bulls fan, wishing all the best for my man D-Rose!

Last gen I had 2k11, 2k12 and 2k13.

I want this game but I am low on money.

Will there be a Demo??

as per operation sports

According to the PlayStation.Blog, it doesn’t look like we will see an NBA 2K15 demo this week. Demos typically release 2 weeks before the game releases to stores, which means we probably won't see one this year, for the second year in a row.

We have reached out to 2K for confirmation and will update this post when we hear back.

UPDATE: Just received confirmation, there will be no NBA 2K15 demo this year.

 

[cripterion]

Sorry to disappoint, but the scanning is for 3D space. It requires you to turn your head so it can scan the shape of it. 2D things shouldn't work. :/

If you happen to have "celebs or ect" hanging around your home, though, then you're good to go.


Anyway, I'm really tempted to get this next week, but I feel like I should wait, even though I really want it. Heh.

lol now I just picture the guy harassing celebs to come over to his house to get their face scan for NBA2K15

 

[ThirtyPlus]

I dislike Lil B about as much as KD does, but that OT made my day.

 

[Omega]

why would there be a demo.

most people are buying it because it's competition is NBA Live.

 

[Phreakuency]

Hopefully they have voice acting options for your player this year, I'm sick of my player sounding like a white guy trying sound like a black guy when I want him to be a white guy trying to sound like a Chinese guy.

You mean the guy sniffing like an addict all the way through the story?

 

[GravyButt]

Wish I did instore pickup instead of shipping

 

[cripterion]

http://www.twitch.tv/2k/b/574499285

You guys seen all the crazy animations they have for Mypark? Smelly leg lol.
Shit, the facescan stuff is making me want to get the game on Xbox One too

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Woo Cleveland

 

[Canis lupus]

Might pick it up this year cuz Euro teams.

 

[charsace]

like an idiot i have pre-ordered this game again this year. i am part of the problem

Never learn. Enjoy Dreamcast servers.

Might get this if it looks good.

 

[rugioh]

Is GAF making a 5v5 MyPARK team?

 

[hoserx]

First off I'd like to thank THEBASEDGOD for everything he does. His thoughts and movements are what make seasons change, and subsequently we are able to grow crops and enjoy food. #TYBG

I approve of this OT and think it should be read while listening to the Hoop Life mixtape:
