The best Basketball sim to date, despite a lack of significant changes.
NBA 2K15 is a sports game that offers an immersive basketball experience with its new animations, defensive AI, and shooting systems. The game's visuals and broadcast presentation, hosted by Ernie Johnson and Shaq O'Neal, are impressive, but it falls short with optimization issues and bugs. Despite these drawbacks, players can enjoy new team-specific play sets and greater control over all aspects of the game.

Critic Reviews
The rich get richer, deservedly so -- NBA 2K15 review
Despite the disappointing online issues and insane load times, NBA 2K15 is still a very impressive video game. It does so many things correctly and builds upon pre-existing features in all the right ways. Visual Concepts has managed to make the standard MyPlayer and Association modes into something brand new, which is a task no other sports game has achieved. Because of that, the impressive visuals, and the same enjoyable gameplay, it is easy to imagine NBA 2K15 taking the Best Sports Game award at the end of the year.

NBA 2K15 makes significant strides over its predecessor in terms of graphics and animation, but an inconsistent online multiplayer mode mars the experience a bit. Still, it's the best b-ball game around.
