Thanks for the concise and relevant write-up aholbert32. I think you have reassured me more then any other reviewer that this year's purchase is still worth the time and effort.

My questions focus on the defensive side of the ball; thank you for your answers in advance:

1: With regard to players with signature skills - is there a difference in actual game-play within their specialty or do these players still fill very generic and interchangeable?

2: Do the lower level defenders show their defensive limits out-of-the-box or do you feel we are going to need to tweek the rosters to reflect their issues?

3: I am still a bit concerned with ai perimeter closing and shading; almost all the gameplay vids I've seen still show the ai lagging off of deadly perimeter players (ie Ray Allen in the corner) in key situations. During your gameplay, was the ai shadowing their assignments decently, forcing the play elsewhere or were they still allowing for too many kick-out opportunities as in years past?

Again, thank you for your time.

can you play the game on HOF SIM and let us know if its actually difficult like it should be?

Holbert, as you play, can you let us know if the controls grow on you any?

Does the steal button=automatic foul in 2k14? Or is it still a wild pimp smack like last year? And if you miss a steal what happens? How is the recovery from a missed steal?

looks like 2k14 is actually updated 2k12
