According to PlayStation Blog, there are more than 5,000 new animations in "NBA 2K15," which hopes to give a more realistic gameplay experience for basketball gaming that the franchise has so far delivered in the game.

What's great about "NBA 2K15" is that all the other elements in the game seem to work well for the gameplay.
