One area that no reviewers have given feedback on and I'd love to hear more about from you or the others is the transition aspects of the game. Are they smoother and more natural feeling? Have they made improvements to the fast break situations? Passing is faster, but how about receiving? Do players still bobble the ball in awkward ways like they do in 2k13? Finally, is pace finally more represented? I've always felt that 2k's gameplay reflected the slower half-court set pace types of teams much better then the faster paced teams. Can you "feel" the difference when playing a Denver team versus a slower more set team? Thanks for taking the time and effort on providing feedback.

Great question! They do really need to improve the pass receptions. I lost a lot of assists because of bobbled passes. They even caused me to get credited with turnovers because my cpu teammates couldn't catch the ball. If they were finally able to reign it in, then they were no longer open for the shot. I'm excited to see/feel the passing improvements because that was one of the biggest irritants in 2K13.

Also I would really love to see some more improvements & additions to myplayer/mycareer.

Hopefully its true about blocking from the back cant believe it took 2k this long to add it into the game
