I chose to re-sign with the Wolves after my rookie year and Doc Rivers became the head coach? LOL. :crazy:

After giving this game about 20-25 hrs of gameplay, it's cheesier than ever, but maybe i'm getting used to it..

Has anyone bought 2k15 for 360? How is it? Amazon customer reviews rate it a 1.5 out of 5, so is it really that bad?

I rented it for a few days. From what I could tell it was 2K14 with updated rosters. Maybe some slight game play enhancements. the biggest thing is they brought crew mode back. All the real improvements went into the next gen version.

Good news for me is I should be getting it soon. Last summer I took advantage of a promotion at the microsoft store and traded in a bunch of games to get about 300 bucks in credit. Been sitting on that and now the X1 is discounted by 50 bucks for a few weeks. Add that to a bundle that comes with a game and I can save 400$ on buying an X1. I'll probably walk out the door with the bundled system and game having paid less than 70 bucks out of pocket. XD

The wolves playing well have broke me. This month I am getting a next gen console and getting 2K15. Can't put them off any longer. Needs to jam on fools with Wiggins in my home whenever I please.

Hey guys i need some advice from game experts around here.

next year I will probably buy a new graphics card. I mostly play 2K and some adventure stuff like Assasins Creed,DMC with my dirt cheap old GPU.
But 2K15 is so laggy and can only play decently in blacktop mode. Is 2K15's next gen graphics similar to all the present and upcoming games that will demand high-end specs?
Or is 2K15 a badly ported game and the game IS the issue of lags,stutters,etc?
Because I dont want to buy a high-end grapix card if a middle-end card will do. TIA :-)

And it's decided. I am getting an X1 on black friday. I am hoping the Microsoft store has some deal where they are selling the system for 330 bucks or so. If that's the case I can get one for less than 50 bucks! :nod:

On top of that with the sales I have looked at, I should be able to get 2K15, Madden, Shadows of Mordor all for 70 bucks. I may get another couple games as well.

All in all I should be looking to spend roughly $170 for a console and a bunch of games. Pretty good deal that's easy for me to pull the trigger on.

Any WoW players out there? Newest Expansion came out yesterday.
I played the first 3-4 expansions, but haven't played for about 3 years. Old habits do die hard, tempted to check it out...

I3 550 quadcore 3.20ghz i think
2GB Ram :oops:
1GB NVIDIA Geforce 210 :-( (I bought it when I was in grade school)
I have been content with its performance until 2K15 happened
I'll save to upgrade my ram and vidcard. My problem is if buying a high end card will be good long term wise or I can buy a mid end card and that 2K15 is just badly optimized for PC.

I'm just starting my second season with the Wolves in MyCareer mode, also had Doc coming to coach the Wolves while Flip is now coaching the Clips. LOL. As a SG, I've displaced Martin's piss poor defense in the starting lineup with my own crappy defense. Love come running the break with Wiggins, alley opps all day.

After that E3 where Microsoft came out with that shotgun, loaded it, got in front of the podium and blew their own heads off I was PS4 all the way. Then of course they had to back track on everything and make the system more appealing. I was still PS4. Then the price drop happened and they were fairly even but I was till PS4. Then 6 months ago Microsoft store had a promotion where you could take in any old game and get 10 bucks credit. I dumped at of old games I wlill never touch again on them and got like 250-300 bucks in credit. Then decided to wait.

Over the summer Xbox has had some good games come out and right now I think they have a better line up and seeing as how they are now selling them for 350 or maybe even 330 on Black Friday with game bundled. I figure now is as good a time as any to cash in, get a system for like 50-80 bucks out of pocket.

I'll probably spend actual real money on getting a PS4 next year or when No Man's Sky comes out depending how the landscape is looking. On top of that, odds are I will be able to capitalize on another good deal. So basically X1 because its cheap, easy, and a better time right now (Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive, D4, Halo Collection).
