I see the same whining too, as last year.

I think (from reading all of the impressions etc.) that there sounds like there is going to be a lot of great new additions and improvements.

The ones that got me was better spacing and specifically rotating defense on pick and rolls - which would result in extra passing and a real feel of breaking down defense. I think 2K13 really felt like, 1 pass and you've broken the defense down.

Only issue I have is that these 3 vids didn't really display the above points..... unless I missed something..... I watched them twice only....

Insights may help but I think 5 on 5 gameplay with a user who knows how to break it down will highlight it even better.....

2K - You are the best ball game on the market until proven otherwise, but SHOW US what you've developed so we can get excited!!!!!! Haha.....

I remember last year they had a red carpet celeb launch thing for 2K13 which was great and all, but that didn't hype me as much as the 5 on 5 gameplay vids of 2K11 where we really got a look at the improvements from the previous year etc..... That's my view of course....

I agree...I have only watched Czar when he got the 10 day gig and I haven't checked any of these guys youtube....I will just wait for the insight...

yeah, but they bobble it way too much in 2k13, and often for no reason...like when you just make a simple pass to an open guy.

I still see that unrealistic two handed over the head pass

I don't see what's wrong with people saying it looks exactly like 2K13. It does. Not just the player models. The presentation. The scoreboard. The pre-tip animations. That ridiculous lob where a right-handed player slams it with his left even though it looked like he didn't really have to. Skin texture also looks the same (i.e., like the players are made of plastic or wood).

And why is Sefolosha wearing 25 and not 2? I haven't heard anything about him changing his number for the 2014 season.

Looks good. The only thing that I didn't like and hope they can correct for next gen is the "sliding" in some of the animation transitions. ie. defensive stance to a defensive slide.

I like what I see though. Looks like 2k improved gameplay wise. I want to see a cheeser play to see if defenders will slide out of the way because of a forced dunk or layup animation. I hope they got rid of that non sense and there is better contact.

But in this video the sliding looks to be much improve. Hopefully next gen it will be eliminated completely.

Yeah, the irrational folk always seem to make an appearance around this time of year. Then again, I also think it's more than fair for people to be rationally unimpressed thus far as well. Sometimes reasonable impressions will be positive, sometimes they'll be negative.

I've had years of 2K where I've been 100% hyped at this point, then I've had years like this one, where nothing has really jumped out at me yet. I'm guessing some other people feel the same way. And maybe their verbalization of those feelings is just their way of expressing disappointment that the game doesn't seem to have a ton of things that pop out at them right away.

Further, when people say it feels or looks the same, they could literally be referring to the player graphics. But if I had to guess, they're referring to everything: the graphics, the presentation, the audio, the commentary, the off-court animations, a lot of the on-court animations, etc. I admit it, in reference to all those elements I just mentioned, 2K14 seems to look more like a previous 2K than any other new edition I've seen this generation. The reasons why this may be are very sensible (end of console's run, graphical ceiling, concentration on next gen) but it probably doesn't make people feel much better about it.

The good news is we've hardly scratched the surface and all our presumptions could be flipped upon their heads. But just as there's always people who say, "Wait! Wait! We don't know everything yet! This game could still be awesome!", one must understand there'll likely always be a counterpoint out there saying, "Alright, in the past I've seen this game hyped and I was ultimately let down. I think I'm going to be a little more cautious in what I wait for and what I let myself buy into this time around."
