I think we're both on the same page here, you're just a bit more cautious , which is completely understandable

Get your point completely, and I would love to be hyped up for 2k14. But just as many people are hesitant to give EA a chance at winning them back as customers after the Elite fiasco, I feel kind of the same way about how 2k is promoting their games.
You know, it turned out the main selling point for 2k13 was really Jay-Z and that VC stuff. So I'm hesitant to jump on the bandwagon since everything revealed right now didn't impress me, besides graphics potentially being fantastic.

Also, while a bit of footage is better than no footage at all, just compare this to all the features announced and even shown in videos for FIFA 14. I've even read a preview with the writer complaining that long balls/turbo spamming doesn't work anymore. So even though we don't know anything about Live yet, 2k could definitely provide more. Dev insights were a joke last year (remember the empty talk about defense...), so was the gameplay video of Heat vs. Thunder.

I agree with you on graphics. But improvements in this regard are kind of expected with the new technology available. Let's see how the game plays. It's really not a given that gameplay evolves, looking at most genres. So I hope 2k pulls off something great.

Seeing these new cyber face its going to great to finally see Rondo not looking like a crackhead and Paul George not looking homeless.

The game looks solid. I'm sure the lip sync thing was a one off for the ad, so no big deal.

We do actually see the gaping black hole of Lebron's mouth during his celebration which they're actually featuring. Simply saying that can be improved to get closer to making things seem lifelike and human, which is obviously what they're going for.

I'm getting this easy.. I hope 2k can make other sports titles this gen 2. Basketball looks sick

Wow.

I've been out of the 2K game for the last couple years but this has really reeled me back in and excited the hell out of me. The texturing and facial structuring/expressions are something we've never seen before. This game has been in dire need of more intensity and expression from the players on the court for a while now. Hopefully the days of blank stares after huge plays are gone. Color pallet is still too dull but maybe that is just the trailer. Hopefully.

And of course, the movement looks great, but since when has 2K faltered in that aspect?

Bravo 2K. With Live looking to step up their game as well, this year looks great for basketball fans (Something I haven't been able to say for 3 years now..)

I agree. It's been a long time since we had 2 solid basketball titles. On a side note, nice to see a fellow Rip City dude back.

With the demise of our talent came my lowered interest in basketball gaming haha. This past season has rejuvenated me though! Playing with D-Lill in the next gen of gaming will be something else!
