NBA 2k15 will use next-gen gfx for PC, offer superior fidelity

[Venti Quattro]

Did they give Kobe accurate ratings this time around? Could be the explanation tbh.

I use the Dubs because I got the releases of Steph, Klay and Iggy and no one can beat me. Now I can't even make two shots in a row lol

[Venti Quattro]

Also, if you ain't running plays (not quick plays either) you ain't gonna score points. The game rewards you for playing realistically, and this includes shooting from each players hot zone.

What do I still really need to think that deep for a game? I'm not doing a Kobe or Westbrook and I'm just finding open shooters. I should be able to make open shots and I can't because it's kinda inconsistent.

I modded it so he doesn't get one

Trust me. It's user error. You need to go in to the practice mode and make sure you know where each players zone is. Also, this game wants you to be familiar with all of the player badges, and play to your strengths.

You'll be blowing out the computer in no time, then it's time to up the difficulty or start whopping ass online.

Here are my thoughts so far. Playing on PC as the Spurs in the association mode..

Pros

Graphics - Nearly all the player models look spot on. The hair and beards look great for the most part. The courts, jerseys, lighting, all look amazing on ultra settings. The players seem to be bigger this year, and their ratio to the court and the basket is much more realistic looking IMO.

There is an ultra setting? I just ^^nosTEAM^^ed this and "high" seems to be the highest option for everything. It looks good but doesn't push my 970 at all at 1080p, I'm getting like 160 fps with 4xMSAA on if I turn vsync off. Even turning MSAA to 8x when I put vsync on my GPU is at like 40% usage to cap at 60 fps. Is there some kind of ENB for this too?

Doesn't seem right that I could pull a consistent 160 fps with maxed out, I can't do that on anything but old Call of Duty games and . Do you get 100+ fps with maxed out, not counting patches?

Also, lol my very first game was Spurs vs Cavs and Kyrie Irving tore his achilles in the first quarter.

It's a straight up port with AA options.. The AA goes up pretty high though.

I run mine G-Sync capped at 99 hz.. beautifully smooth that way. I just turn down the AA a little bit to make sure it stays there. The frames drop to 4 something during cutscenes that include shots of the crowd, because there is so much detail and AA on them.

OK, so it's normal to get ridiculously high framerates in this? It runs like ing Minecraft. I guess it was just the release version where people were having a hard time staying at 60 fps and getting stuttering? Because it's ridiculously smooth now.

How is the modding in 2k15? I loved in NBA Live 2006 where to add a new texture pack all you had to do was put the face-and-shape file in the corresponding directory with the right filename. So for instance a Manu Ginobili face file could be updated by making a new one, naming it emginobili.fsh, and putting it in the faces directory, or the 70-71 Hawks home jersey could be changed by making a new one, calling it atl70h.fsh, and putting it in the jerseys directory. I'd guess it's not that easy with 2k15 though.

When it first released it had terrible micro stutter even though frames were high, but I was able to fix that then by forcing V-Sync and triple buffering in the control panel.

Now, I don't need any fixes, it's been resolved via patches.

The mod scene sucks on next gen 2k15.. the modders haven't figured out this new engine. Maybe it's different now, I haven't checked in a month or so.

Was running this on 1440p DSR with 8xMSAA and finally got it to drop into the 50s fps in cutscenes, but always in the 80s ingame. But after 8xMSAA the DSR seemed to make no difference other than making my GPU stay pinned at 99% and having my framerate drop, so I'll just stick with straight 1080p with 8xMSAA where even the cutscenes never drop below about 85 fps. The fog in the arenas sucks, what was 2k thinking there?

It should be easy to remove, it was easy for them to mod into 2k14 last year.

[Strange Love]

Did they fix the lopsided advantages the computer gets when you're up by 20?

I dont like the way the game is designed in career mode. ing PC cheats their way to wins after being down by a huge margin.

One or two games I get but everytime.. that.

[AlexJones]

Not sure about this game but I got NBA 2K14 for 4.99 and it plays like a 90s NBA. Bad spacing, bad passing, too many goddamn turnovers.
