Is NBA 2K15 the basketball game to beat this year or did somehow 2K mess it up? Is the game accessible enough for all players to enjoy?! You will find this out in this review. The NBA 2K series has been king for the past two years without question, but it has not had stiff competition either. As expected, all of the game modes in last years game to be back, MyLeague, MyGM, NBA Today, MyPlayer/MyPark and MyTeam. There is also a new section called NBA 2KTV where they have interviews with players, coaches and the games developers and tips to excel in 2K15. They improved greatly with MyGM and MyPlayer, when an exhibition game or MyGM game is loading, they have a Pre-Game show with Ernie Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal which is actually refreshing and good commentary. MyPlayer got a voice overall where 30 NBA players actually loaned their voice to their actual player that guides you a long as you advance in your NBA career. Another addition to my player is that if you have the Kinect/PlayStation camera, you can actually put your face in the game! The game play is like any traditional basketball game simulation that you would find! The AI is vastly improved, on pick and rolls now, the AI will now follow you or go under the screen. It isn't as easy to go around the buggy AI.
Now for the accessibility part of the game, 2K hasn't given you the choice to remap the controllers and no changing controls besides changing the right stick to shot stick or Iso-motion. That's the only control you can change in the game, SERIOUSLY?! In this day and age, I think developers could make the game configure to what the user wants, but that is another time and another place! So that leaves me to give NBA 2K15 a: 7/10. Fun to play, solid game play but it isn't accessible to all and that is why it gets 7/10 from me. Comments are welcome!
