MyTeam lets you create your own legendary team.
Admittedly there are only ever two choices available in any given dialogue wheel and most are pretty obvious to their outcome, but it does add a level of authenticity to the game. Perform poorly or respond incorrectly and your team chemistry and coach satisfaction goes down, affecting court time and the willingness of your teammates to play with you.
Each game played earns you Virtual Coin (VC) which can be used to upgrade player attributes and it’s an extremely rewarding feeling to watch your player go from somewhat lethargic rookie to superstar over time.Īs you progress, you are challenged on- and off-court and choose how to respond either through on-court performance or a dialogue wheel. I spent the most amount of time in M圜areer and found it to be by far the most enjoyable experience of the game. In it, you control a player from undrafted rookie to getting your first contract and aspiring to make the big time. M圜areer, in particular, has had the most refinement to it, further stripping away the slower sections to give an enjoyable and engaging player experience. Three modes, M圜areer, MyTeam and MyGM are available as well as Quick Games, online and local multiplayer, updated rosters, wardrobes and a new soundtrack curated by Pharrell Williams. 2K15, if anything, is about the one-percenters. This can be a double-edged sword, offering the same experience in a different package, but in this case, you can see the developers are trying to push the franchise from elite level to legendary. NBA 2K15 follows on from 2K14’s mantra of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” and like Michael Jordan in the post-season, has decided to build upon its fundamentals, refining the player experience rather than completely overhauling the system.
Because my bright and shiny basketball career was tragically cut short, I now write, but thankfully for me and everyone else under 7ft, the latest instalment of Visual Concepts and 2K Games’ long running basketball series is out now. I played it for ten years during school and while I learnt skills, no one taught me to be tall.
