NBA 2K15 was finally released in North America on Oct. 7, 2014. It is to be released in Australia and the rest of the world on October 9, 2014. The game, which was developed by Visual Concepts, is compatible with Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4 and Microsoft Windows and is the 16<sup>th version of the NBA 2k franchise.
According to Bleacher Report, "One of the first things you'll notice in NBA 2K15's gameplay is the increased bumping and physical contact. It's a welcomed addition to the gameplay that brings defense back into the fabric of the experience."
As we can recall, the previous version was a little free flowing, which made players easily score three points. This year's version, however, is more realistic. It means that scoring has gotten a little more challenging. More realism has been added, but players still find it fun to play, and overall the new version is a significant improvement from the last installation.
Bleacher Report also mentions that the game has a more "authentic" feel to it, as the drives to the basket are not as automatic as they were in the past versions.
The 'bot' players also seem to be more "skilled". Generally, the game now functions more 'realistic', which players should find appealing.
The minimum system requirements for the game, as reported by System Requirements Lab, are as follows:
CPU:
Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2
CPU Speed:
Info
RAM:
2 GB
OS:
Windows 7 (64-bit only)
Video Card:
512 MB VRAM and DX 10 (NVIDIA GeForce 8600 or ATI Radeon HD 3600)
