NBA 2K14 Hands-On Impressions and Q&A (PS3)


Check out our NBA 2K14 hands-on impressions from the retail PS3 version of the game. (Written by Aaron Holbert - aholbert32)

Quote:
CPU AI: I swear every time I read one of these previews for a new NBA 2K game, the author is talking about how the CPU is so realistic and how each team plays like it does in real life. For the first time, I honestly feel like this year that statement is completely true. There are several examples I noticed:

Rockets v. Lakers - The AI consistently looks for Howard in the post, Lin in the pick and roll and Harden on Isos and pick and rolls. Shooters like Parsons hang out on the perimeter waiting for kick outs by Harden and Lin off picks. Houston also shoots a ton of threes like in real life.
Cavs v. Wizards – Irving absolutely destroyed me with the pick and roll(40 points and a game winning layup) but he didn’t ball hog. CPU ran several post plays for Bennett and Bynum. Waiters also got a few touches but he struggled in the game.
Grizzlies v. Thunder – CPU looks for Randolph and Gasol consistently in the post. Randolph plays like he does in real life. For example, he went to work in the post on two straight possessions. One ended with a baby hook in the lane. The second was him pivoting to face up Ibaka and sinking a 17ft jumper in his face.

good writeup sir. it's sad to hear that 2k still refuses to grasp the concept of what a realistic number of fouls are. Getting to the free throw line is a skillset in it's own. Danilo Gallinari, Jimmy Butler, Kevin love all excel at it, and to not have the right number of fouls is to take away from their value on the court.

Thanks everyone.

As the preview says I have the game early so feel free to ask questions related to the game and I'll try my best to answer.

Re: NBA 2K14 Hands-On Impressions (PS3)

Is there still a coach mode option and in coach mode can you call plays by player instead of being limited to quick plays or best play option? Thanks.

Casual players dont think anything is a foul, so apparently 2k has shifted that direction. Considering this was on Sim setting, its disappointing however.

Very honest and in depth preview.

The lack of fouls is one big issue to me. I'am playin on HOF SIM online all year long and I can't adjust sliders. It looks like there is still barely any fouls called on simulation this year.

Why? I don't get it.
