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

[STLRams]

A question I have is about the classic teams rosters. I know current teams playbooks have been updated and there tendencies/ratings will be updated by STATS inc,but this I'm sure will not be the case for the classic teams. Has the classic teams playbooks been updated, and have there ratings and tendencies been updated to be more realistic and true to life (how they really played) compared to how they were in 2K13?

-No improvements seen in crowd sound. Delayed reaction on some big plays like 3’s and dunks, which has been an issue for years.

Wow...really?

-No updates for Madison Square Garden. MSG has been renovated for the last three years and looks significantly different than it did during the renovation but for some reason 2k hasn't updated the arena.

I'm expecting a complete overhaul for all the arenas for next gen....would that be too much to ask?

For the first time I have no question....good preview!

Thanks for a great review.
I would like to know what changes been made to Online Association mode? Can you dig in, thanks in advance.

Cant answer Online related questions because no one is online yet. Under 50 people probably have the game right now.

No changes. Played a game with GSW versus Charlotte and both teams had the same playbooks as last year. Rosters appear to be the same too.

Excellent write up. Waiting to see what the next gen game is like. If 2K have dropped the ball on it then I will pick up the current gen version instead.

Great thoughts man. Really like how the CPU seems to play smarter this time. Unfortunately, I'm going to wait it out for the ps4 version this year. Since I live in the Philippines, we don't have that upgrade program for region 3 games. So it'll be a long wait for me for some 2k basketball this year.

Good write up holbert,

Don't think I saw where you talked about controls besides not being able to change them...

How hard was it to adjust to the new dribbling/shot controls?
