Basketball is increasingly becoming an international sport and the NBA 2K series has grown to reflect that, adding teams from the Euroleague. This year NBA 2K15 will feature more than ever before, with squads that feature roster updates to reflect the teams accurately on the day of the game's release.

Unlike last year, this new edition of the game will feature 11 additional teams from the Turkish Airlines Euroleague, including FC Bayern Munich of Germany, JSF Nanterre of France, Galatasaray Liv Hospital Istanbul of Turkey and Partizan NIS Belgrade of Serbia. This brings the total number of Euroleague teams to 25, including every team that participated in the 2013-14 Turkish Airlines Euroleague.
"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," said Greg Thomas, President of Visual Concepts. "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."

"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," said Jordi Bertomeu, President and CEO of Euroleague Basketball, in a statement. "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."
NBA 2K15 will release on October 7 in North America and October 10 internationally, for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Windows PC. Kevin Durant is the cover athlete this year and you can preorder the game right here.
