lol, it was a dumb and dumber reference!

While this is true, we also already know that next-gen Madden is getting a new engine with (supposedly) significant gameplay and AI improvements. We have heard no such thing about NBA2K14 yet, which is why I was wondering.

With that said, what would one expect considering VC has NEVER been one to play too many games with buzzwords. Does anyone really know what this IGNiTE really is? "Human AI"? What is that? What was it before? Still "Liquid AI"? Infiniti engines and Ignite certainly sound cool and all, but so did "Real AI" and "Real Time Physics" and "Skill-based Shooting". For once, I just want to hear concrete descriptions of the enhancements instead of buzzwords. Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying we get lied to. I'm just saying that assuming some groundbreaking new feature just because the name is flashy, only get hopes up unrealistically high.

I'd just like to know if the only difference between current gen and next gen is gonna be graphics, or are there gonna be actual gameplay upgrades in next gen.

Well 2k did say that while the 2 games (current & next gen) would offer distinct experiences to show the systems unique prowess, there would be some overlap, specifically in respect of the core gameplay elements ... this "could" be read as just porting everything related to gameplay.

Having said that, the trailer revealed an improvement on graphics beyond my expectations, I rather take that as a sign of how much effort is 2k placing on that version and fervently hope that they can take advantage of what really makes the new gen consoles shine ... which is their exponentialy increased ram & processing powers, that are better suited for running multiple features related to gameplay, such as: foot plating, physics, lightning/shadowing, AI enhancers, AA, etc ...

I dont expect 2k to exceed my expectations on gameplay (I wish tho) but I do expect them to correct the flaws, improve on the goods and integrate new elements to further expand it and make it closer to what an NBA game looks like.

P.S:
I also expect 2k to finally recognize an oftenly undervalued pilar that help them excel over the competition and be what they are today (its editability/customization) and as a tribute, build upon it even more. It is not something we just want but rather something we desperately need: nothing hidden, everything editable, customizable.
