For all of its gorgeous next gen graphical fidelity, ultimately, NBA 2K14 fell flat as a game, and roundly disappointed basketball fans last year, who are typically used to high quality entries in the NBA 2K series, and were expecting nothing less from last year’s game. The issues were many- perceived lack of content, problems with the online functionality, and more, all of which gave the impression that a whole lot of time had been spent on the graphics, but not much else.
However, this year’s game looks awesome, and the newest trailer for NBA 2K15 should only serve to excite fans of the sport and fans of the series even more. This newest trailer, for example, boasts 6,000 new animations, and also showcases many of the top players within it.
Whether or not all of this goes towards addressing the problem with lackluster content and underwhelming online functionality remains to be seen, but it is hard to deny that, much like its predecessor, NBA 2K15 makes a hell of a first impression.
