You won’t be able to bomb down the centre of the court and produce a heroic slam dunk. Little inclusions such as a slight dip of the shoulder, a quick turn resulting in a finesse pass or shot looks great. Thankfully it’s not only the presentation that blows you away, as the physics and movement of your players feels not only realistic, but extremely natural. What makes or breaks a game, especially a sports sim, is the gameplay. Stylish and sleek, Visual Concepts have executed every little detail superbly.

From the players, coaches and the crowd, it is fantastically well designed. Visual Concepts have managed to produce quite possibly one of the most in-depth, realistic, and engaging sports simulation video games I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing, and if this title can entice an old fan of the sport back, then I’d say 2K have done a pretty sterling job with their latest offering.įirstly, the presentation of NBA 2K15 is outstanding. What NBA 2K15 has achieved is pretty damn close to replicating the feel and the atmosphere of shooting hoops for your favourite team. Could anybody honestly say that EA or Konami have captured everything that makes football so popular, and have produced the ultimate football simulation experience? I’d say that they haven’t. Just look at the annual FIFA or PES games. You will always have those passionate, die-hard fans of a particular sport pick at any little thing that may make the game seem unauthentic, or believe that the game doesn’t capture what the sport is really about. Sports simulation games are tricky to perfect. NBA 2K15 is the latest instalment in the NBA 2K franchise, developed by Visual Concepts and produced by 2K. When it comes to reviewing a game, in particular a sports title in which the actual sport is one that you don’t follow regularly anymore, the highest possible compliment you could give is to say that the game made you a fan of the sport again.
