NBA 2K14 Live Stream - Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Houston Rockets

[Rockie_Fresh88]

Things I noticed

- Probably no demo
- more assets went to next gen as it seems
- defense looks good, rebounding improvement
- seems like 2k wants to get current gen promoted then go all out for next gen.
- passing seems to be touched

everytime LD2K said "stay tuned"/"wait and you'll see" I assumed that was a next-gen only feature.
Like sleeved jersey (they would have to totally remake the player model, and I hardly believe they've done it current gen) or new blacktop courts

Yeah but rock chiseler unfortunately a lot of 2k fans are sophomoric when it comes to pre release news. Crew, association, sleeves for Pete's sake. People over react to everything and then use powerful weapons like YouTube or twitter to bite into the sales potential for the company. I don't blame them for being hush hush about things.

Jeremy Lin is not nearly as good of a shooter as the guy playing with the Rockets thinks he is. Also, why don't these guys know the releases just a tiny bit better. Consistently late releases.

Other than that it looks good. A LOT of misses around the rim. NBA players DO miss contested shots in the paint. Glad to see that because it gives me hope for stopping stars on clutch plays. Can't comment on the FG % though b/c these guys just cannot shoot.

Movement looks fluid: specifically, the transition from the dribble to a jumper or layup. I also liked the missed alley oop. Haven't seen one of those in a long time.

Maybe too many blocks actually, but the guys did take some questionable shots, so they shouldn't be rewarded for that.

The only thing I really hated was that lob to Garcia. That has never been is forte that I recall.

So no demo then...sheesh they could just say so...

All right in terms of the gameplay it was interesting to find out a few things that LD2K was talking about with the controls, so i definetly like the fact that you can control things like the eurostep layup and spin moves through the right stick, the defense definetly looked improved, seemed to me like the AI defenders were a bit smarter defending against isolation drives to the basket. I didn't like that they didn't run a single play in that game, caus i wanna see what the floor spacing looks like if you actually run a play, because they said that the spacing is improved, however on most of the defensive possessions it still looked crowded, since they were just straight isolating on offense. Obviously the guy with the Rockets was way off on his jumpshots, LD2K actually made a few contested jumpers with KD and Westbrook, so it looks like that is still possible, but that actually does happen in the nba, so no complaint there. I liked that LD2K actually went into myTeam there at the end and showed us a little bit of something there, apparently Franchise is not a new game mode, but just the place where you name your team and choose a city and stuff like that, so no big secret there i suppose. I didn't hear anything new about a demo release, so i'm just gonna assume that there isn't gonna be one this year, but oh well i guess we'll just have to wait till the game releases to find out what it feels like.

Looks good to me. Not too bad with default defensive settings.

• They ran what one play the whole game?
• The game definitely appears balanced.
• Neither played good on ball defense but the help defense was noticabley better.
• Looks like they slowed the game speed down.
• No fouls at all for the whole game was weird

I do not like the full court passes.
I do not like fransisco catching oops.
I do not like beverly and lin dunking in traffic.
I do not like durant and ibaka traveling in post.
I do not like the full court passes at all. I don't know why they think it is realistic for a big to throw one handed full court passes on the money. In 2k11 they patched the full court passes.

Everything else looks good.
