25 total Euroleague teams that will be kept up to date with online rosters.
'NBA 2K15' is looking to continue the series proud dominance as a sports simulation title, and one way that this year's verison will build on past versions is with an expanded selection of Euroleague teams. 'NBA 2K15' will feature 11 additional teams from the Turkish Airlines Euroleague, bringing the total playable number up to 25 teams. The teams will include FC Bayern Munich of Germany, JSF Nanterre of France, Galatasaray Liv Hospital Istanbul of Turkey and Partizan NIS Belgrade of Serbia, as part of a selection of teams that features every team that participated in the 2013-14 Turkish Airlines Euroleague.
Greg Thomas, President of 'NBA 2K' developer Visual Concepts, "The global response to the integration of Euroleague teams into the NBA 2K series last year was fantastic, and a key factor in our decision to include the full complement of 2013-14 Euroleague teams in NBA 2K15. We know there’s a huge passion for basketball in Europe, and we’re excited to further expand the number of playable European teams to make this the most comprehensive basketball game ever."
Jordi Bertomeu, President and CEO of Euroleague Basketball, "After an exciting start last year, our partnership with 2K takes another strong step forward with an expansion of the Euroleague Basketball teams in NBA 2K15. The appeal of our style of basketball to video game fans was evident right away with just 14 Euroleague Basketball teams last year, and we are sure that seeing many more of them in NBA 2K15 will be another hit."
