NBA 2K15

NBA 2K15 allows players to scan their faces into the game for created players, using the PlayStation Camera on PlayStation 4 or the Kinect on the Xbox One. The 3D mapping process creates a realistic rendition of the gamer’s face to make their gaming experience as real as possible. The process of scanning the face will take about 30 seconds. Players need to get very close (6-12 inches) to the camera and slowly turn their heads 30 degrees to the left and right during the scanning process. MyCareer Mode has been revamped with new additions such as the mentor and upgrading system. The player’s MyPlayer speaks to the leader of the team before and after games. 2K implemented their voices providing for a more in-depth user experience.

These features have allowed for a greater “storyline” to be integrated into MyCareer mode. MyCareer also uses a new upgrading system which gets more virtual currency from endorsement deals, completing challenges, and badges (which come in bronze, silver, and gold). However, on 8th-Gen systems, players cannot view playoff stats or the playoff tree. A new coach satisfaction system has been introduced that provides real-time feedback based on the MyPlayer’s court performance. MyPlayer is mentored by former Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers, who will either praise or admonish the player based on their gameplay.
