It's time again for a new addition to the NBA 2K series. As with any incremental franchise, and particularly annual ones, it's often difficult to see were things are going or if anything is actually being improved at all. NBA 2K14 was a solid game that...

NBA 2K15 is completely intertwined with the real sport. The presentation is so good there are even promo vignettes before matches, and they’re different every time. There are half-time interviews with a sideline reporter. A studio with punditry. The commentary is outstanding. Allow yourself to get pulled into the show, and it’s hard to see where real life finishes and NBA 2K starts. It's the best sports series on earth. By a distance.

When it works, NBA 2K15 offers a triple double worth of compelling content, from its accessible but deep gameplay to the deep MyGM and dramatic MyCareer modes. Unfortunately, the connectivity issues continue to box out players from its engaging experiences.

NBA 2K15 feels like a new-gen experience that 2K isn't quite ready for. It's an absolutely beautiful game to look at, and its controls are as tight as they've ever been. Some features are vastly improved from last year, and fortunately most of those...

The NBA 2K series continues to deliver the best professional basketball experience available on consoles and PCs. Though some strange visual bugs might rub a bit of shine off of an otherwise excellent package, there’s no denying how well NBA 2K15 plays.

Overall, NBA 2K15 is another win for 2K Sports and you can really see where the future of NBA gaming is headed. They have things to fix but it's a fluid process that will get better each year because the customers demand it. They've set the bar for the industry, which means they are their own competition. To get fans to buy a new $60 game each season means it has to be more than a roster update.

Cómpralo sin pestañear. Es original, innovador, te leerás hasta el manual, le guardarás un lugar destacado en la estantería, y seguro que lo jugarás siempre que tengas ocasión. Podría pasar al reino de los clásicos.

NBA 2K15 isn’t as drastic a visual update as last year’s next-generation debut. Your friend sitting on the couch might not drool over the visual updates or expanded feature set, but the overhauled control scheme and helpful shot meter are the types of improvements basketball fans have been waiting for.

NBA 2K15 has been released and it's one game that many people have been looking forward to – myself included. The game is packed with realism and the mechanics are enticing, even if the game is plagued by online instability and a terribly inconvenient...

The very first thing that happens when you boot up NBA 2K15 for the first time, is play a game. You don't get to choose your teams or anything, and there isn't any commentary. It's just you, your opponents, and the court. It's like the game is saying,...
