NBA 2k15 is the best app that I have ever played. It has a very in depth and amazing my career that features rookie showcase, pre-draft interviews, draft day, amazing games and postgame interviews. This mode also includes fake twitter, Nike or Jordan endorsement options and much, much more. The gameplay is amazing. The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is amazingly smooth and a lot more realistic than 2k14. In 2k15 there is a lot more rebounding but also very realistic shot releases and made shots. Don't listen to the other reviews that say there is lag because I haven't had any lag since I played it, not even once. The controls are solid a good for offense. Defense takes some getting use to along with sprinting but it doesn't take away from the game at all. There is quick game and my career, season mode and blacktop mode are locked and will probably come out next game update. Overall the game is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone including non sport fans.

Gameplay-5/5
Controls-4/5
Graphics-5/5 (would give it a 6/5 if possible)
Game flow-5/5
Quality-5/5
Overall-24/25

I would give this game a 100 but the defense is a little hard but an amazing job to 2k and I cannot wait for NBA 2k16

1.0 out of 5 stars Nvidia Shield Portable appears to be broken in this build.
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2015
Verified Purchase
Update: I now have 13 different devices, all of which this is somehow STILL marked incompatible. Yet, I can sideload it and it runs equally poorly on each, as it does on my fire tv. 2k China completely dropped the ball, im sure the ios port is getting some damn updates. Why is this still not on the android market? Pretty tired of this BS. Wont be buying any more 2k china games even though this had amazing potential to change mobile basketball games (sports games in general) for the better. If you make a 2k16, please learn from your mistake this year! You had easily the most fun basketball game on mobile marred by horrible bugs and an incomplete release, compounded by 0 support.

Crashes instantly on the shield portable. Sad. This game was made for a gaming handheld with a Tegra 4 or better SoC. I've been able to play it (poorly) on my iphone 6+. The gameplay is great, but the controls are terribly mapped to ios game controllers. On android at least with the help of tincore, you can remap hardware keys per game profile, so I was really excited to see the s***ty Amazon fire exclusion ended. Sadly, even with the game now available for my shield portable, on launch it crashes instantly. Im on the latest shield update, and went as far as completely wiping the device using nvidias last point release firmware flash. Game screen goes black, but before the 2k china logo comes up, I get the stopped working error. Whats really frustrating is that I've owned every 2k game for android prior (google play thanks). They've run, but the gameplay has been pretty poor, not even at the gameplay level of the PSPs last nba wii port. This was the first mobile NBA game that has a real next gen for mobile gameplay feel. I dont care that much about the graphics, though they're vastly improved, but the gameplay feels fluid and dynamic. A lot of really interesting physics and exceptional plays are possible now. Like running from baseline to baseline with lebron just in time to pin a shot against the board and send it literally flying back to the freethrow line. Those moments are what make this game stupidly good. PLEASE fix this 2k china! You have a LOT of fans that want to enjoy what is easily the best portable NBA title in several years. We have gaming tabs and devices FOR YOUR GAMES. Don't leave us hanging. If you can find some time as well, make the button assignment customizable too, you should expect that most of your fans are also owners of the desktop or console versions of the game, and having a button scheme that doesn't even slightly resemble the big brother title is probably not a good idea. Im not one of these dick star terrorists. Its a 3 because i've played the game, but it just doesn't work on a device that's supported. I will absolutely revise my review when i can run the game on android to give a full review.

3.0 out of 5 stars it's already amazing what they have been able to do
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2015

Disappointing. Having owned and played the ios version, this version lags behind in quite a few areas. First, the graphics, don't get me wrong, it's already amazing what they have been able to do, by basically porting a last gen game to mobile. The graphics are just a tad bit better on the ios version and you can tell the difference. Players don't look as good and everything else is toned down a bit. Second, the bugs, seriously guys, what's with the benches in quick play? There are no benches with players on them, just an empty blue space, kinda strange. Next, the commentators don't say anything and there are NO SOUND EFFECTS! Seriously, no sound effects, no "swoosh" when you net a three with the splash brothers, no dribbling sounds, and no clanking of the rim when you miss a shot. None of this happens on the ios version. I really wish you guys would add a graphics slider, as those of us with more powerful phones (Note 4) have to deal with the fact that the graphics are held back for phones on SD 800/801's. Third, the controls aren't optimized correctly, for some reason the joystick doesn't follow you as well as it does on the ios version. I find myself slipping off the joystick multiple times during a game, meaning the other team scores an easy bucket. Fourth, blacktop is missing stars and there is no commentator or sound effect for that version as well.

Please address these bugs, it's a great game but it's hard to play when these glaring mistakes are present.

2.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect, except for the crashing
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2015

I was elated to know that 2k15 from amazon was finally compatible with my galaxy s5. It is nearly identical to the ps3 version. This app has great presentation, gameplay and a variety of game modes. It's just missing an association mode with draft picks. This game has a one season mode and my player. The major downfall of the game that prevents it from being a runaway "5 star" and "best mobile game ever" is that it crashes during games. I have yet to complete one game. The furthest I have completed a game is up to the 3rd quarter. I am not sure if this is only a non-amazon product problem because it was downloaded from the amazon app store to my gs5, but please fix this amazon! I want to enjoy more than half a game
