We Got Next - 2K15 Released

NBA 2K14 felt a little bare-bones when it came to menus and presentation, but 2K15 overhauls the experience. The trio of Kevin Harlan, Clark Kellogg and Steve Kerr provide the best commentary of any sports video game, hands down, and the broadcasts feel fresh. Given that Kerr became the head coach of the Golden State Warriors this summer, it’s a bit odd for him to still be a part of the commentary team, but the move happened too close to the release for a replacement to be found. New to the series is pre-game analysis by TNT’s Ernie Johnson and Shaquille O’Neal. In-game, you’ll notice new camera cuts and pans that highlight the detailed crowd and help give the game a more realistic look. At first glance, it’s easy to mistake 2k15 for a actual game — most player models look identical to their real-life counterparts. Pharrell Williams selected the soundtrack for 2K15, and there’s a more eclectic mix of tunes than last year’s hip-hop heavy mix. There’s 27 songs in total, which sounds like a lot, but if you take a few songs out of the rotation, you’re going to be hearing repeats fairly frequently.
