First Impressions

jrlocke, let me guess, u dont know what you talking about or your graphic sets are medium.

Funny kid. Graphics all on high. If you can find a setting for body type please fill me in. But from what I can tell there are only two body types in the game. Super Skinny Rondo and skinny armed everyone else....

You mean my kid? Pathetic

What platform are you using?

me?

Sorry was replying to this post, did it off my phone so it didn't show me the posts after this for some reason.

so..my impression are great i would give the grade 9.2 out of 10

I play mostly offline matches with friends, i'm not really interested in online games, myplayer will be played sometimes later but to get on the point

PROS
* graphics looks almost photorealistic
* out of box roster is better than ever before
* gameplay is much more realistic and physical
* love the additions of ernie and shaq, better cheerleaders than before
* loving the points of emphasis during timeouts
* badges make every player unique and individual
* lots of added attributes is plus

CONS
* no option for saving instant replays (insane)
* lots of player removed from free agents pool while some are kept (battier & billups for example)
* rookies looking okay but they dont have any tattoos (this happens in every 2k lol)
* halftime show is dull and unfinished
* that roster thing is ridicilous, not being able to add roster offline and load it in game is borderline stupid
* headband option is also mysteriously gone

that's all from now, those pros and cons are mostly spontaneous i'm not one of those guys who play game just to find flaws in the game lol

if you ask me, i'm playing on pc currently

It seems their servers were down or having problems last night.
So i started an offline my career just to check how it was....and I mean, come on...I knew the My Park/Scenes stores was going to be disabled...but they haven't even left the home/away customization option????....so I'm making the guess an offline MyCareer player has to play all his life with the generic shoes and can't put a headband or worse the KD knee pads he payed for...

I Mostly played my player. Here are my impressions.

My Player is a great mode but I have the feeling it is rigged. Teamates AI is awful on both end s of the court. They can't make box out and take defensive rebounds. The opponent has way too many offensive rebound. No matter you have Anthony Davis or Demarcus Cousins.
On offense, they refuse to take open shots to drive to the basket where there is more opponents to take the most contested shots to be sure to miss or be blocked. Hall of fame fake difficulty.
They can't make a proper screen. There way too much illegal screens.
In money time, they are just garbage. I have the feeling to play against nba players, never with nba players.
The inertia of the player without a ball is just awful. It makes playing defense harder.

The VC in the game is not something i like. It's just a way to get money from users.

Permanent internet connection in order to play a solo mode like my player is also something I don't like. People refuse to have permanent internet connection with xbox one, but accept it with nba 2k15. Great.

Well i guess this is no longer a first impression but more of a final impression

So it's been 3 months worth of gaming for me and with each month the game has gotten worse to play as I discover more and more annoying things that kill my buzz. Let's forget issues outside of game play for a moment because although there is a few they are not make or break for me. As for the game play there are waaaaay too many issues that frustrate me. Some things off the top of my head

1. lack of controller responsiveness...especially in the paint
2. players run to 3pnt line on fast breaks
3. hard to beat someone off the dribble
4. 3pnt shots count for 2, and 2's count for 3 in some instances
5. defensive matchups are rubbish....way too often, and for no reason my PF/C will be guarding the opposing PG/SG
6. random double teams that I don't call for
7. players don't dunk except for fast breaks
8. when swinging the ball to a moving player hoping for an open 3 often the player for some reason will step back a few feet beyond the 3pnt line making the play useless
9. too many blocks
10. set plays don't have fluidity

so, i give this game 6/10 and i'm probably going to stop playing. I've tried messing with sliders but it doesn't fix these issues. Honestly, I wish i kept 2k13, all it needed was a roster update despite its own flaws

I'd have to agree on a lot of the things mentions above.

Especially 1 & 2, sometimes I feel like iam in slow motion when I try to block a layup or the complete opposite and your on skates in the paint.
