The graphics are a big reason why the 2K series has been so great in the past and why they are going to continue to be successful in the next gen systems. Any NBA fan knows that the players in the league are some of the most unique athletes out there. Unlike football players that are covered by helmets or baseball players that wear hats/helmets, NBA players are out there for all the world to see. We know all about the hairstyles, the tattoos, the crazy beards that some guys have and we can also see everything about their face. They have nowhere to run or hide from us. As gamers, we want to see all the details of our favorite players. Look at that shot of Chris Andersen of the Miami Heat, who is known as "The Birdman." While he's not a superstar, he's the most interesting guy in the league in terms of how he looks. He's got colorful tattoos all over his body, he sometimes wears a mohawk, he has a big beard and he shows a lot of emotion on the court too. Everybody knows who The Birdman is if they're a true NBA fan and it's not because of his stats. It's because of his look. When you play NBA 2K15, you're going to get the full experience of what every player in the league looks like. It makes fans feel like they're really in the game because we're able to see these guys doing what they do at a high level and we get to control all of it.
