NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

[jeebs9]

I'm so excited about this news!!! So many questions.. I can't wait too see how the rules effect the game.

would have been cool to stash your 2nd round pick in europe and watch how he does in a euroleague play. Hopefully next year that happens!

I agree with the poster you quoted that the Summer Circuit (Summer League) and D-League need to return, but your right that too many aspects of the game are meet with negativity. I think that it's great that we'll get to experience some Euroleague teams and players.

Who said the same teams are working on those respective features? Don't assume that's always the case.

And we've had some great meetings with the NBA2KInsider regarding rosters.

We are in desperate need that those meetings do translate into great roster updates, the NBA2KInsider is one of the game´s huge faults as currently implemented (the idea tho, is a pilar and should just be improved, a lot) ... even more now that the genre is embracing other methods more: frequent, unbiased, non selective, fact based and in line with the games stablished formulas & scales.


Also, hopefully the devs/marketing teams get to notice how big a potential there is for the game to cause a bigger impact and aceptancee, if features like the Euro teams (and DLeague, once back, not if) were integrated to other modes aside from the simple vs matchs.

So its like the Dream Team only for exhibition....not interesting at all then...whats the sense of having teams you can't edit, etc?

Are you kidding me? There are lots of people that did a great job with 2k13, especially regarding graphics and animations. But if rosters are really done by one "insider" (even though you've said yourself that a separate team is working on them, lol), this guy has the basketball knowledge of a 10 year old. It's as simple as that. I don't wanna start a discussion about sim vs. whatever, but 2k13 rosters really reflect an uninformed and biased version of the NBA, like you'd expect from a casual fan.

Have you ever even played 2k13? Looked at rosters? Do you need "great meetings" to explain to your roster guy that Joel Anthony isn't a better shot blocker than Wilt Chamberlain? That Josh Smith isn't an elite mid range shooter? That Marc Gasol is a great passer? That there are still more than a dozen players missing after the season ended? That literally hundreds of plays simply don't work?

If there's really one roster guy responsible for this, you should probably find a new one. "Great meetings", give me a break. What did you tell him? "Go start watch basketball"?


About the topic...I like the addition of Euroleague teams. Let's see whether 2k puts any effort into emphasizing the difference between NBA and Euro style offense. I mean they screwed up playbooks in 2k13, and now they add pretty much a whole different brand of basketball with Euroleague. Hopefully they'll include more offensive sets to distinguish NBA from Euro ball. No need for Euro teams with generic playbooks.
