Euroball is not just repackaged NBA games but that is exactly what I felt I saw here. I really enjoy the commentating team and never grow tired of Steve Kerr in 2k. Yet, he was out of place and so was the rest of the team when announcing a Euro-game. This footage just reinforces to me that this mode is wasted on me; something I really hoped would not happen.

I don't think this was ever packaged as a mode, per se. I could be wrong. If it was, then yeah, that's kind of weak. I think it just supposed to have those teams and players for the European folks that wanted them.

I want to ask the guys that continue to say this is the best 2k can do graphically and why do u expect it to look different or better this year then last year, are you guys saying this because next gen is comin out the following month after 2k14 releases or do you really believe that this is the best they can do graphically...because I believe that 2k11 and 2k12 had alot better lighting then 2k13 does so there is no way that 2k just maxed out on graphics with this current gen.

Graphics don't exist in a vacuum so if 14 has more animations or other things going on that in turn could effect the quality of the graphics being that they have reached max capacity for horsepower and memory for this generation of consoles.

We don't know what the tradeoff's are but at this point there have to be some when your maxing out of resources. All the teams and players and uni's and animations etc eat up memory. You can't just keep adding things to a system that is near capacity you have to start balancing.

So I can't speak for everyone else but that is what I mean when referring to graphics tapped this gen. Sure they could get you a little more here or there but probably at the expense of something else.

At the end of a generation there are more important things to me than graphics because in NOV that part is taken care of.

That makes since, but let me ask you this do you think with the graphics being so much greater in next gen will the gameplay take a hit or will next gen have the power to give ou both at its best rather then one side lacking more then the other, Im all for good gameply too but i love good visuals too so im kind of in the middle.

It's all well and good that we get Beluba and Zach Timmerman to talk to the community on these boards, as well as hear from Rob Jones on interviews, and LD2K ofc is regularly relaying our gripes and wishes to the 2K devs, but every one of those devs deal with gameplay.

What about the audio devs?

What about the graphics devs?

Why aren't they in touch with the community?

2K's audio is poor compared to the rest of the game. They can't even get on Live 10's level with the crowd noise. This is a huge percentage of the immersion factor of the game. Users psychologically feed off the crowd's energy. There have been many online association games I've played where even in the fourth quarter, the crowd sounds like a baseball crowd usually does, not interested in the game at all. It's so hard to motivate yourself to even play when you don't even feel it matters.

I really don't know what some people actually expect to see change from game to game. Maybe those people don't even know.

Do they really think the next 2K game should be so different that you can't even tell it's the same game? Because you can just pop in a disc at random and pretend it's another 2K game. I mean it won't look just like the last one then, right?

And then there are people who think the game should be catered to them and them alone. I won't play online ever, I won't touch Crew and I barely play Association, but I know that there are other people who do, so I don't trip when I hear about adding more online features or whatever instead of player creation news. Because they got a whole score of people to make a game for.

I believe people want that wow factor from year to year, esp if they werent happy with the game the year before, so for those guys that didnt like 2ks graphics or there presentation layout from last year and they basically see the samething in 2k14, its like why would i spend 60 dollars for this and it looks the same. Without realizing 2k made alot of changes to the gameplay.

So, if the disc is full, why insert 14 Euroleague teams instead of a better graphic?! Why insert those Jay-Z videos in 2K13 instead of a better graphic?
I'm disappointed about this thing. The disc is full? Ok, get a better graphic, better sounds crowds and better animation for current-gen and put the 14 Euroleague teams in the next-gen consolle that will certainly have a huge graphic!
We're not talking about a product that is offered to us for free. We pay 60 euros for a new version of the game, and we claim a new version of the game, not another 2K13 version
