Ingenious game with a few negative aspects

+ I7 870 4x 2.93GHz
+ 8 gig DDR3 Ram
+ AMD Radeon HD 7850

The many-mentioned error (disconnections, freeze the loading screen, etc.), I now could not tell up.

------ Now for the game itself ------

The last NBA 2K which I played, was 2k13 - a big difference so I did not expect.

Graphics / Technology:
------------------------
+ The graphics is so awesome, every player looks so authentic from, movements are fluid and there is no "Animation error" as in the 13er game (eg Player no longer runs the ball the whole game field afterwards, after the free throw, the ball falls not a player etc. caught more upside but this is).

is o The individual menus in career / season / ... could be a little clearer, there you lose often and like to take a few seconds to a special point found.

- The biggest criticism I have of NBA 2K15, the load times (especially in career mode). This dive too often and much on too long. Between 2 Play like a pass than 5 minutes due to multiple loading screens. Could the game because of the size not install on my SSD - maybe this will help.

Atmosphere and Gameplay:
--------------------------------------
++ Here 2K has made a big step forward. The very atmosphere of the career mode is superior. With many cutscenes are added greatly to the position of his players and talking with players / coach / GM's / etc (no spoilers)

+ The CPU seems (at least to me as someone who has not much to do with basketball outside 2K) has been improved a lot. Both co- and opponent behave smarter and the way the points have to be thought out more.

- The Defense is unfortunately (perhaps even for me) very difficult and do even tearing the hair. One thinks to lay a perfect player, but it can if he wants to always pull the same move on a past and you have no chance to prevent it, because often too slow / ungelenkig

o litter system: The new launch system I do not understand quite. Where you had to let go even at the highest point in JumpShot the X button at the time, there is now a semi-circle which charges and is viewed within a certain range as "optimal". Enlarged or reduced, depending on the position at which one is and how many opponents around you are this area. Now you can find here, for whatever reason, do even not at all (even with repeated attempts) when no opponent is nearby, but in the next turn you will be doubly covered, at full speed, the throw button held down and take a percentage more often - perhaps climb I still behind.

Game Modes:
---------------
+ My player (career): a player as desired to create (personal data, appearance, position) and pull this big in the NBA. Could also be called the "story mode".

+ Season: Classic game mode with one or more teams play an NBA season.

+ My GM: As a franchise lead GM (not yet played, might be added here)

+ My team: you build with the help of booster packs which can be purchased from the in-game currency to a Team. Someone who knows the Ultimate Team of Fifa, can draw parallels here. (Not yet played, possibly supplemented here)

Online mode:
--------------------
FINALLY! I first had to let go. On the PC, there were always problems with the online mode or was this (2k13) only partially in the PC version available. Now there are several ways in 2K15 online to measure. For example, with his players from the "My Player mode" or friendly matches or even online leagues. (So ​​far, I had not yet the time to try this, might be added here)

------ ------ Conclusion

With NBA 2K15 is a step in the right direction was definitely made for the PC version. Finally, one has to stop playing the feeling only a "lite version". Nevertheless, the game is not perfect. Especially the very long load times take out a bit of the fun. Nevertheless, I'm going to have bought the game (also because of the many negative reports) happy and was pleasantly surprised.

Interested parties should nevertheless necessary, check your system before buying whether this increased stake ist.Dann the game is no more obstacles.
