You will see just how spot on the collision detection is for these movements during the outstanding replays shown throughout the game. The animations are tremendous, not only for on court moves like cross over’s, fades, and dunks, but players will dive and even fight for the ball to gain possession. From the incredible detail of scanned player faces that not only accurately portray their real life counterparts, to sweat and expressive emotions that range from excitement, bewilderment, and even pain. Visually NBA2K 15 ups the ante on last year’s effort with the most accurate and realistic looking basketball game, and possibly even sports game, these eyes have ever seen. While there are still a couple minor issues that the developers need to overcome to deliver a flawless performance, it is certain that this year’s effort only has a blemish or two that will certainly clear up with age. NBA2K15 is a damn near perfect simulation of the sport of basketball that tops even all of their own efforts they have put out over the last decade or so. While EA’s efforts are genuinely improved, it will still be another year or two until they will be any serious threat to 2K’s crown. Live is looking better and better and could very well serve to be great competition if they continue to bring their efforts to the table against 2K.

This will be more and more pressing especially if EA has anything to say about it now that they are in their 2nd year of their revitalized NBA Live franchise. Jumping to next generation hasn’t created any new obstacles or hiccups, but on the contrary, has helped the game to evolve into a bigger and better beast that fans of the NBA will be clamoring for year in and year out - provided of course they continue to grow and not rest on their laurels.

For years now, the folks at 2K Sports have dominated the sport of basketball when it comes to recreating that virtual NBA experience for gamers.
