If anyone can point me to some places where I can learn about the sport please do. I have little to no clue about it (based in the UK so its not common knowledge at all). Also, I believe that besides gameplay, the career mode is the most important thing in a sports game and I hope to see some really great additions... From what I've seen on current gen career mode looks dope so any improvements should be amazing.

I'm European as well, so I know where you're coming from, man. I'm Norwegian, and we don't have any basketball coverage what so ever. Still I feel that I have a pretty good grasp of the game of basketball without ever playing the sport myself. And I have got that knowledge through the 2K games. I would advise you to purchase 2K13, and change your settings so that your coach run plays for you, due to the fact that you have little knowledge of the game. You can also change your settings so that the CPU is giving you pointers on where you should go.

As well as playing 2K, I would advise you to watch a few actual games. The playoffs is soon over, but you could try to download a few games, and try to look for ways that teams is building up their play. 2K13 has coach profiles, so the different teams will feel differently as they are playing different styles of basketball. Therefor I would pick a team and stick with it in the beginning, while you are watching a few actual games of that team. When you feel that you have your team down, you can start experimenting with other teams as well.

It's like we have to see what they are seeing so we have to hate it as well ....I just love it that it bothers them why we can see a leap in graphics while they can't

cheers to those with good eyes

You must not have played any of NBA2K13 or 12, this looks 1000 times better. You're saying Lebron and Kobe looking damn near life like isn't an upgrade, get your eyes checked ASAP bruh.

It's the guys that say "it's only graphics" that bother me, they're trying to downplay the work the art team has put in and that disgust me. If graphics didn't matter then I doubt any of us would have spent 500-600 dollars on a PS3 or Xbox 360.

If people are excited for 2k14 because of this trailer I see nothing wrong with it, but calling people stupid because they've brought a video game for a different reason than you, it's ridicules and immature.

On another note:
I'm really appreciative of the NBA and David Stern or whoever is supervising the video game license, EA tried to buy the NBA rights years ago, and of course they were rejected, I'm not going to bash EA, I'm just happy that 2k has been given the time to grow their product into what it is and what it's going to be in the future. Unlike NFL 2k, which I believe if it had the time to prosper like NBA 2K could have been light years ahead of video game football of today.

As I've always told my pc gaming friends , no matter how powerful your system is ,its all wasted if developers don't make games to fit it. This short trailer is an example of this

For ALL of our sakes I hope It plays as good as it looks. Am I excited YES mos def...But it will all be in vain if were still stuck with the same problems. ANYHOW lets just sit back and soak in the HYPE machine which is NBA 2k14

Seriously, 2k really has to do nothing at all to get people to spend money on their products. Maybe the game is going to be great, maybe it will be a huge disappointment. No way to tell right now. But 2k has done a great job of getting people to be emotionally attached to the brand. For many kids, it "feels right", so they have to buy it. Marketing wise, 2k is as good as it gets. They've done an impressive job getting kids to buy everything. I mean let's say I wanna spend 60 bucks on a bball game in October. There are 2 competing products available. It's rational to compare both to find out which one I should spend my money on. But many people have their minds already made up based on brands ("Nothing can make be buy Live/2k... wow, Live/2k looks soooo great. Take my money right now...). That's why video game companies can allow half-a**ing their products, people will spend money anyway, resulting in mediocre games or no game at all (Live was living on reputation alone for years leading to the recent disasters).

Finally some sanity.
