NBA 2K15 MyTeam Mode Details
2K Sports today released news on improvements and additions coming for MyTeam mode in NBA 2K15. MyTeam is the company's attempt at cloning the Ultimate Team model from EA Sports' titles and was first introduced in 2K13. While the revenue-generating mode isn't as natural a fit for NBA games it has proven to still be something that has a dedicated audience which is more than happy to shovel over their money in pursuit of new players. In 2K15 MyTeam adopts even more concepts from Ultimate Te...

NBA 2K15 Player Ratings Revealed To Date
The overall ratings calculation has changed with NBA 2K15 and only four players will be rated 90+. The floor seems to have risen, and the ceiling lowered somewhat, compressing more players in the middle. As always individual attribute categories and signature skills - and how those translate to performance - is more important than the overall. 2K Sports has started to release the player ratings and in an unorthodox manner having done so by starting with the lowest in the league. Typically...

NBA 2K15 MyGM Mode Details
One month ago 2K Sports announced a new highly-customizable offline association mode known as MyLeague for NBA 2K15. Now the company is talking about its carry-over MyGM mode which replaced the more traditional association mode last year by attempting to add more life to the management duties but stumbled with the misguided implementation of Virtual Currency that hampered the experience all throughout 2K14. Big changes are in store with 2K15 and none less crucial than the reduction of th...

Gameplay Videos Out of Gamescom
A number of off-screen videos have emerged from Gamescom for NBA 2K15, NHL 15, FIFA 15, and PES 2015. It's bizarre that companies allow such unflattering footage like these videos present to become what for many is the first impression of how the games look and play, when they could put out a high quality polished video under their own control that highlights improvements. However it hasn't seemed to do any harm in the past considering this is the nature in which NBA 2K's first gameplay has ...
