Best 2K in recent years but can't recommend simply because with yearly releases the previous game dies out, the game is never actually good but being someone that understands the cheese in 2K this years cheese was really fun for me. MyTeam (gamemode where you open packs) was actually good this year, you really didn't have to spend any money to have a stacked team I think people that don't actually play the game don't understand that. 2K released a bunch of locker codes and released cards that were so broken that everyone could enjoy them for cheap in game currency. If you are playing offline just get NBA 2K16 since 2K shuts their servers down 3 years post launch.
