Side by Side Comparison of: 2K Games vs Activision

works great, really entertaining

I be dunking the ball and it's all good.

My 10 year old son and I have a lot of fun playing against each other (although he wins most of the time). Can access recent teams or go back to classic champions like MJ's Bulls or Magic's Lakers.If you don't mind not having the most up to date rosters like me, get the previous year's version to the current and save 50%.

Great games as always! My older son is very happy to have the PS4 version of this when he got the new ps4 and couldn't play the PS3 one on it.

I got this for my son, but I've been watching him play and I've been really impressed. The story mode is very well-done (directed by Spike Lee) with a great story, and the online portion has been tons of fun for my son. The graphics look amazing, and the soundtrack is pretty impressive too. Overall, I did not expect this quality out of a sports game (although I'll admit it's been a long time since I've played one), and would recommend this to anyone who likes both basketball and video games.

This game is Great! The player movements, graphics, sound, the way teams adjust to different play calls from other teams just all the different features are incredible! The teams and player play so realistic. So many different options while playing just a standered team game. The spike Lee story mode was just great! I loved every minute of it SPOILER: (besides the end. That speech dragged on forever!). This game is great! I'm a big 2k fan so... Get you a copy!

My grandson loved this game! His words "The graphics are so realistic it's as if they were right in front of you" (he's 7) but don't let that fool you. He knows his games. I thought the same thing as well. Although this is my first COD game ever I must say I was "Wowed" by the graphics and the sound well I must say, the bullets, the snipes, the bombs, the shots, the explosion sound super clear as if they right right next to you, Peeew! I loved it! This game is so action packed and I'm glad I got it for that price. The clarity on the faces leave you in disbelief. The shots hit with such accuracy. Some people complained about the speed of the game/gamers being way too fast to keep up with and so that held me off for a while thinking my 7 year old grandson although he wanted the game badly would not be able to keep up, but nope all smooth so far. I love the story line it's so realistic. My favorite game right now. The price was great as well.

Really enjoying this game so far. I think this one will get me to finally make the jump and get a PS Plus account so I can play online. I really want to check out the EXO Zombies mode! The game is fast paced and very well written. It's way too short of course, but that's been the modus operandi of the entire C.O.D. series since it moved into the 21st century. But the short campaign is a good one. It's full of all sorts of amazing moments and I really just liked playing this game. Glad I waited until it was much cheaper, aside from not getting the Season Pass with the Pre-Order. That would have been nice. I'm sure I'd have long since been a PS Plus member then. :)

I love it!! That say's a lot because I didn't like ghost at all. Couldn't get through the story cause it was just eww and I didn't like the online play. Plus idk, it was just something about ghost that was very unappealing... Advance warfare is drastically different. I love the exo-suits, the guns, the story is amazing!!! It's just a damn good piece of work. Much better than destiny in my opinion. Destiny has a crap story that doesn't make any sense. Advance warfare is totally different. The one thing i don't like is the exo zombies (the fact that it wasn't included with the game). The mode is fun, but i like playing the other stuff more. Well, my review is mostly based on the story and exo zombie mode. I haven't really got to play much online. The one time i did i had a lot of fun. Also, if you plan on buying this, its much cheaper to get advanced warfare stand alone under 30, plus buy the exo zombie pack with it. If you get the gold addition. You are technically getting cheated... That's how i was able to get mines.

bought CoD Advanced Warfare for my boyfriend, seeing as I got him a PS4 it made sense to get him a few games too just to get him started. I myself have played this game, and compared to past CoD games I like this one the best including the zombie mode. This is one of my boyfriend's favorite games and he loves this version of it especially. We haven't had any problems with the disk playing or anything, all has been as expected. Item arrived on time, and is definitely a great deal for the price.

Fast delivery, everything went as planned, Amazon is great, etc.For the game itself, it is important to remember that this is a Call of Duty game. If you watch gameplay or hear people's opinions, don't be freaked out by how "different" it looks or sounds. At its heart, this is another CoD game, and if you're good at CoD, you will do fine in this one too. It is certainly more fast-paced than prior titles (and can get a little crazy), but this is truly an improvement and is simply the next step for the franchise -- but reflexes are key. And camping is largely nonexistent!I would definitely recommend playing at least 2 or 3 hours of the single player (I stopped around 3) before hopping into multiplayer because it eases you into the new gear that you'll be using. Plus it's pretty badass.

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare is the second 1080p/60fps Call of Duty ever. While Ghosts had the same resolution, Advanced Warfare looks a lot sharper than Ghosts' graphics. It is also the first Sledgehammer COD game, (unless we include MW3 even though Sledgehammer barely did half of the work there). For a first game I think Sledgehammer did a awesome job!Campaign:The campaign graphics are amazing and look so sharp that you will think that it is a realistic film. In fact, the campaign it is a good way to start before moving to the multiplayer mode. I have one complaint about the campaign --- its end was not as cool as other COD games. I missed an end with great graphical effects like a slow motion surprises, or a lot of blood and gore.SPOILER ALERT The bad guy grabs your hand so he won't fall to his death and if you won't push him up you will die with him so you just cut your hand of and the bad guy falls for his death.Exo Survival:Exo Survival is a cool mode that for the first two weeks you can play it for hours, but after that it gets boring and you forget it is in the game.Exo Zombies DLC:Exo Zombies is a DLC exclusive that I bought separately. I have to say that even if it is not the same as the original Treyarch's zombies Sledgehammer did listen to what we want and made this exo-zombies mode. I really appreciate it and enjoy this exo zombies mode quite a bit .Multiplayer:The multiplayer is the main part of the game. I want to start addressing the fact that every year the COD multiplayer games are very similar and folks in the web complain a lot about this lack of novelty. This time, Sledgehammer changed the multiplayer game play with exo suits. The exo suits make you double jump in the air so people that do not like chaos will get a bit of a problem... An example of benefiting from the double jumping ability, is that it can save you if someone behind you starts shooting at you. Using the exo-suit you can double jump above him and start shooting him from the behind. Just to make it even, your opponent can also use the same double jump ability, so it is a fair game.The guns of the game are pretty balanced, many of them are of a similar decent quality. Of course at every game you have some guns that are better and some that are less good, which also depends on personal taste. Still, I think that there is only thre guns that might suck, but that is not that bad remembering that game offers dozens of decent guns.A less appealing aspect of the game is the supply drops, which makes the guns quality less even among fighting players, as I am going to explain: The supply drops are like cool boxes that you can earn from them armor and a variety of guns. The quality of the dropped gun changes by levels. The most common level is called “enlisted” (with guns that most of the time suck), then next level is called “professional” (supplied guns are ok), than “elite” (guns are almost always awesome), then “royalty” (that is like “elite” with an awesome camo (color) and a bit more ammo or range...), and finally the rarest level of supply drop is “legendary” (that is a beast, I had never the luck to get). The problem with these supply drops is that some variants are OP (over-powered) but you need to be very lucky to earn those guns, so people wanted a faster way to earn these guns so sledgehammer made the Advanced Supply Drops DLC (sold at extra cost), with those it is much easier to earn the high levels like elite, royalty, and legendary. Since they cost 2 dollars each, the problem is that whoever payed more money will have better guns and win more gun fights. Also they made some new guns that you can earn only from advanced supply drops (costing money) so with a regular supply drops (free) they are very hard to get. In a sense, in my eyes Sledgehammer got a bit greedy, and whoever pays the full initial price for the game, is still disadvantageous compared to heavy spenders that can access better guns.The maps in this game are very good – unlike in Ghosts you will not be shot every two seconds from behind your back.The game modes are very fun and I am very happy the remake the mod war from COD WAW with his new name “momentum”. I am also happy that they made a grapple playlist mode and uplink mode.The pick 13 in create a class was nice , but I liked more the pick 10 from cod bo2 , because the scorestreaks in the game weren’t so useful so people ran more perks or attachments instead of scorestreaks.The Exo ability is cool and very useful , but the grenades and secondary’s are garbage.Overall I really liked the game, despite the single reservation raised above, and I think that every FPS fan should get it!

Great game, my player history it's great, making a my team it's really fun too, playing with all the real teams in a season it's fun because you have to see your financials, the ticket price, how much money are you getting from winning a championship, the contracts of the players, your workers. Basketball players will love this game, being one myself I really like it. Obviously it's a game and the players are going to make super lucky shots, so don't get mad like me.

Nba always does it regardless of the year

It priced excellent on Amazon for a Christmas gift. My son still plays this game, he loves basketball and the graphics are amazing.

The game was in good condition & haven't had no problems.

Other reviewers are fairly correct here. The MyCareer in this game is entirely unappealing. I don't enjoy being called "Frequency Vibrations" all the time. It's a little disappointing since MyPlayer/MyCareer were my favorite modes in previous years. I spend most of my time in MyGM, which admittedly is pretty good this year and therefore saves the game. Graphics are great, overall play is pretty good, and best of all there isn't much shot clock cheese anymore.

Probably the most consistent sports game series and a must own for all NBA and video game fans. The graphics are the best of any sports game I've seen and the game mostly plays well other than Pick and Roll still being a little unfair. The game gets 4 stars instead of 5 because of their constant need to change the MyPlayer game mode for the worse every entry with unnecessary and cringe-worthy lame story elements.

Loved pretty much everything about Advanced Warfare:1- The story2- The villain3- The overall look of the game (art style, mechanic concepts, how CLEAN it looks)4- Overall motion is very good (double jump, slide, etc.)Its a lot better than Ghosts and Black Ops 3, and really, the campaign is GOOD.

This is the first Call of Duty not developed by Infinity Ward or Treyarch and I think Sledgehammer did just great. While faced with a steep learning curve with regard to EXO movement, once fully grasped, the gameplay potential from boosted movement takes the game (and genre) to a new level. Connections are good, hit detection is good, graphics are good and, well, it's an enjoyable CoD multiplayer experience. My only gripe would be the costly DLC map packs which, for me, are pretty mediocre. I bought BOTH map packs on XBOX One and after swapping systems to PS4, I refuse to buy-in. The exception being Drift, which I think is a really awesome map.

In college, all my friends were into COD, but I was more into Netflix and girls. However after my business closed down a few years ago, I began playing video games to deal with unemployment and depression. I found MW1 and MW3 in the $5 bin at Walmart and instantly fell in love with COD because of the campaign. At the time I didn't have Wifi at my apartment and I wasn't able to play multiplayer. By the time I made it to Black Ops 1 and 2 I did have Wifi and started screwing around in Multiplayer. The last time I really played multiplayer FPS was GoldenEye for the N64. There was a steep learning curve as by the time I got into BO2 all the DLC was released and Ghosts was even out. So people were already master prestige and really good. I put 10 days into BO2 and am like 5 ranks short of Prestige Master, but then I got a job and as a reward for myself I got the PS4 bundle with Destiny. The whole reason I got the PS4 was for advanced warfare, and while at first I loved destinys gameplay and double jump ability, I soon grew tired of the grind and traded it in. After every thing that has happened with their DLCs I'm glad I did. Onto Advanced Warfare. After playing Destiny, I LOVE the EXO Movements. I feel like I have total control when it comes to double jumps, side jumps, power slides and slams. The campaign is what you should expect from COD, nothing special. The exo-survival is actually pretty fun for unlocking the zombie avatar in Multiplayer. To multiplayer, I really enjoy it. I hooked up with a good clan at release and won a few clan wars and got cool gear for my soldier. The maps are mostly all fun besides 1 or 2. At this point 2 DLCs have been released and with that, Exo zombies. Zombies is fun and hard, and once again, I feel the exo movements add a cool degree to it. Why I gave AW 4 instead of 5 is occasionally there's really bad connection issues and lag. Around MLK Jr day the lag got so bad I couldn't play for a week. I'm looking forward to the next 2 DLC packs and to see where exo zombies go. The new grapple mode and LMG/shotgun the Ohm are both extremely enjoyable to me. I've seen the BO3 reveal and they have removed the exo mechanic, which I think might be a step backwards for the series. I know the exo movement was really polarizing for fans of the series, especially long term players, but as a 2 year COD player, I think it was great mechanic and hope to see it in future games

It's great. It's first time with the series and I'm loving it. The campaign was awesome. It was straight forward and not too challenging. It was great to feel super powerful after getting my butt handed to me in Bloodborne. The multiplayer is fun. I guess I like run and gun stuff. I've only played team death match and find it super addictive. The pacing is fast and ridiculous. So for novices the campaign will be amazing and the multiplayer will be balls difficult. Kevin Spacey was great!

I have played many CoD games. My friend and I bought and played CoD: Ghosts and we got burned out of the franchise. I bought this game on sale during the Amazon deals before Christmas, and could not have been more surprised! This game is good. I have enjoyed the multi-player aspect of the game ever since I opened it. The game seems fair and balanced. The exo suits add a whole new dimension to the game. There are many online game types to play. I love how you can upgrade the score streaks to do different things. This is what a next gen game should be like, not the crap CoD: Ghost! Now, if I could talk my friend into buying "another" CoD game life would be good.Update: I have seen a lot of one and two star reviews talking about the multi-player of this game. The multi-player, with the exo suits, reminds me of an older PC game called Tribes. There is a lot of jumping and "hoovering", but it adds another dimension to the game that was not there in past CoD titles. I still can not speak much about the single player game, I have only did one or two parts. For 39.99 you can't ask for more enjoyment!

I'll admit that it's been some time since playing a CoD game. My last was Modern Warfare 2. The game has come a long way since then. I feel the storyline and graphics are the most noticeable evolutions to the franchise. They are very immersive and I find it hard to imagine the game can realistically get much better looking in upcoming years as sequels continue to roll out. Here are a few pros and cons I'd like to share from a novice prospective:Pros:*Beyond what I previously stated, the exo suits are a nice addition to the in-game experience and further add to the storyline.*The controls are pretty consistent for CoD games and this allows for a smooth transition into this title.*The multiplayer win streaks have been toned down substantially which is nice because back when I played my last title, a camper could easily rack up 10+ wins in a row and constantly bombard you with bombing runs and other nasty bonuses that he/she earned.*The multiplayer cards and customization abilities allow for a much improved experience.Cons:*Although I enjoy the exo suit in the game, my preference in multiplayer is to go to classic modes where they are eliminated. Just fully realize this is just my personal preference and I'm not slamming the exo suit. My gripe is it's an overkill for multiplayer. I simply don't like jumping around like a rocketeer while trying to shoot.*The weapon systems are very enjoyable and the slide/dash feature for movement is fun but is basically useless if you begin taking fire and are not sprinting to make it more effective.Overall, this is a solid game and very enjoyable to play. I would highly recommend it.

Kinda regret getting this, graphics are not that good and story is ok, online is really bad because it is based on how good you are, since the game has been out you will have a hard time getting a game going with other ones that are better than you

It takes forever to build anything in the game and to top that even after you build up all the VC then you have to practice 5 times before you can unlock the next tier. That's way too long for me.

I understand it is on me, but the controls are complex, requires online play for creating your own player not really a good practice mode and the spike lee cut scene/movie is broken.

It's NBA2K# you know what you're getting.Like basketball?Played the last one?Don't kid yourself, you know you're going to get this.2K sports won this one EAStory mode is Meh...

Some improvements over 2k15 - too bad the new flaws overpower them. AI buggier than before - you can be directly in front of a player defending them and the computer will pass the ball THRU you for a totally successful bucket inside the paint. The Spike Lee my career mini story was very well produced and voice acted. If you're a die hard fan get it on sale. Just note there's still room for improvement.

The game is OK buy not very interesting. You will be bored very quickly unless you are a big fan of NBA.

Not really reading that much into the storyline of this game, I bought it because...hey-its the next one to come out. Well, expecting it to be fairly similar to the last COD, I soon realized its very "sci-fi" in nature and lost interest. Bouncing around in rocket suits annoyed me. I'm glad Black Ops 3 is out now.

It was fun and all, but the community is terrible. I usually play with keyboard and mouse on PC so when I got to play this on ps4 you know I straight destroyed nearly everyone. Game got boring as a result so I stopped playing. I swear you can't make this up. Idk why I bought this or a ps4. Another thing that should be mentioned is that hardly anyone uses a mic while playing this since there is zero strats involved. If by some miracle they do it's usually the cheapest turd they can find so you can hear their TV and god forbid their window ac unit or crying child in the background. Yeah, I'll stick to pc.

I feel that the weapons in this game are lopsided. Conventional weapons seem extra week while the futuristic lazers and such are extra powerful. You would also think that given that the troops wear an exoskeleton, the developers would have given them heavier machine guns as the troops have "super human" strength.

The game is another fine COD game. I've played all CODs in the main series since Call of Duty on the PC, through the Modern Warfare series and Black Ops. I skipped COD Black Ops 2 and Ghosts because I was burnt out. Too much of the same. This game seems to breath a little life back into the formula mostly due to the exosuit movements but it is still built on the same foundation as Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare and all its descendants. If you like COD, you will like this game. If you feel that the series is burnt out, but like the look of this game, buy it on sale, it's worth checking out.

My son enjoys it. My beef is when I ordered this there was an offer for a free upgrade. Nothing came with the game and there have been no prompts to get the offer and there was nothing attached to the details in the purchase history. I did not print off the offer when I made the purchase so any complaint would have no backing. It would have a higher rating if I didn't feel a bit slighted by the order. My son will just have to get the upgrade with cold hard cash when he is ready.

This game definitely represents movement in a direction relative to previous cod games.I am glad to see a little bit of attention put into the single player this time: It is by no means a good story, but it is fun and definitely keeps the action level maxed out.I am plus-minus on the multiplayer. It has been completely overhauled by the exo suit in terms of how you tactically engage the map (which is good), but the maps themselves are starting to feel boring very quickly. Team balances can be one of the most frustrating aspects of multiplayer and even at 50Mbps down I feel like I am experiencing lag issues from time to time.It gets a 3/5 from me, but I recognize that I am going to keep playing this game and that I am harsher on this franchise because I want it to be the best.

the dumbest nba game I have ever played. The ai on your team doesn't know how to properly run to the correct position, neither do they know how to properly defend the other team with their hand, nor do they steal, instead they just stand there and watch. I hope the Watchdog studio could help work on this game. This is so far the worst game that i have played with.

Spike Lee ruined the Career mode, it becomes so annoyingly unplayable, I was hoping my character would have been the one who died and not his friend.

I had to return the game it did not work

Lame, good graphics but have play sucks

Online play is not what I expected. Same thing every year. I want to see my own damn ratings. Not the opponents. I have to set up my accont over and over. It's a game that is falling off the shelf. I'm not enjoying it all because you are set to lose every game unless you know how to cheat.

Career mode makes no sense and is made poorly, spike Lee dropped the ball on this one and i lost respect for him because of this game. The story is preset as a kid nicknamed "Freq" so you can't pick a nickname like others. You invest time playing regular season games and improving your player attributes, but it doesnt matter, you can take a perfect shot and still miss. You can have a player rating over 80 and still not make a jump shot. Thinking I might go back to 2k15 for now.

This game sucks.. After this I'm no longer buying any game in the Call of Duty series. Jet packs are stupid, zombies is stupid, everything is stupid. In case nobody has noticed, the story mode is essentially the same in every call of duty and they're ridiculously short and easy.. Don't be a sheep, go out and try some new games. I would highly recommend getting "The Last of Us" instead, my favorite game of all time.

Call of Duty seems to be forgetting its roots. Not into the Sci-Fi aspect of the latest trappings. Have shifted to Battlefield franchise for real military first person shooter. Call of Duty has sped into the future and has left part of its fan base behind.

Not impressed at all, i have been playing like many of you since cod finest hour. However this is the first time that i do not like the game. The game storie is a repeat of moderen warfare and the theirs nothing refreshing.The multiplayer is nothing more then a sketchy game play which feels like a 5 yeard created and the very confusing to figure out how to make a load out. Im hoping that maybe they will make a world at war 2.

I've been a fan of the COD series since the beginning. I bought this day one, and I tried to like it, I like just about everything about it except the abilty to jump/boost.....some things men should not be able to do. I kept the game for a month, tried and tried to get used to it....gave it to my son and now I'm back to playing Ghosts.

Despite the attempt, it's still the same old COD of the past few years: extremely fast-paced gameplay that adds a little bias to the host. The new suits only accomplish increasing the pace and making certain weapons obsolete due to rate of fire. Enthusiasts that have followed the series know the history behind Infinity Ward and Treyarch so there's no point in trying to make it look like it's something that it's not. Perhaps this series can achieve a revitalization through getting away from the annual release and actually spending time developing a game rather than making slight modifications each year.

You enjoy dying far around corners...getting shot in the back 90% of the time? I suggest that you play this one via rental for a bit first. It's Classic COD lag fest but with boost jumping and terrible hit detection. The maps are all crowded so gameplay is always chaos and while the gameplay is a lot faster than previous COD titles it loses it's charm due to the claustrophobic maps. I still do not understand why a game developer and publisher, that clearly make enough money, cannot utilize dedicated servers?And thank you for letting us play dress up with our characters...just wish more would have went into map designs. They don't realize that by adding the double jump that area covered is much faster and so the whole map can be accessed way too fast.The story was interesting and I did somewhat enjoy playing it but couldn't help realize that the AI is the same old stupid AI as all the former COD titles.While I do not hate the game...I also do not like the game. There is not enough there to keep me wanting to play let alone potentially purchase more claustrophobic maps. For a game that was 3 years in development it just seems like more of the copy and paste with a little bit of innovation.

It doesn't work tried using it but it wouldn't load since September received it

Is good game

The game came used and scratched to the point of not being able to play.

This is the worst 2k game I have ever played, game play is a joke especially in my career mode, please go back to the ps3 style format or I will stop buying these games.

Never bleeping reached it's destination!! I'd give it zero stars I could

Short and not sweet, this game is bullsh*t!

This game was used, even though I have purchased used games before this is the only one that hasn't worked. It says for PlayStation 4 but when I put the disk can not be read, it can not complete the application. I take it out cleaned and it says the same thing.

Sucks I went out an got a ps3 just to play the old ones cause the new ones are getting wors and wors. I hope black ops 3 is better

Jumping around is not a good thing..the guy i just killed kills me before i reload my gun!!!!!because you are around the map for just a jump distance..now the new game is coming..i saw the preview..still has jumping...will not buy the new one either(bought this just recently because i bought ps4..otherwise never)

If you're a "NON SUPPORTER" of the Plague Invading our "Video Games" better known as the dreaded "Microtransactions" stay far away from this so called "game"! It's just another ploy/ Money TRAP purely designed to exploit "GAMERS". Microtransactions are a despicable practice and needs to END. Before this malicious industry starts charging us $1 for In-Game Ammunition.

This game really sucks about 99% the guns you shoot look like total crud and even some more ridiculous dumb looking ones that alone made me annoyed plus the game is way too short buy COD Ghost instead. Sure the graphics are quite good but the game producers just spun this one out to make a quick buck and Activision shame on you for being that way.

My son finished this in two days with very little play time each day. What a joke! $60 down the drain.
