It's most definitely a small thing that can add up to a big thing for me. It's becoming more and more likely with each passing day that I'll be passing on the next gen title release, but I think I'm more interested in what 2K15 will look like next gen than 2K14. I'm wondering if the further shift in focus (from current to next gen) will lead to a lot of those long-standing small, annoying missed details being fixed up a little (like the aforementioned rim sounds, less glitchy spasms, etc.). Right now, it still seems to look a little too similar to the next gen experience to get me really, really excited.

Don't you think passing on a great game because of rim sounds is a little much?

different reviewer? Hell current gen didn't even deserve that high of a score anyways.

It's IGN. When it comes to sports games they're barely better than gamespot.

The reviewer really didn't touch on anything we didn't already know

Thought it was a fair review.

F epic

Bogut, Garnett Rose and pretty much all the players model are updated to what we seen with the gameplay vids

Upper Body looks perfect now, wow or at least much better from that brooklyn gameplay video

Man, I just wanna see if I plays that involve backdoor cuts etc... will now be more organic due to better collission/footplanting/momentum, it's ok in CG

As for MyCareer being cheesy, it should still be a fun mode. MyGM all i needed to know is i can play the games myself

:thumbs up 2k

I just don't think the majority of those reviewers are very accurate when it comes to reviewing sports games. That's just my opinion. I'm pretty sure that same guy that did this review also did the IGN rewind for the trailer 2K put out a month ago, and I forgot exactly what he said, but he made a blatant mistake that proved he didn't know much about basketball. With that said, Friday can't come soon enough.

I actually thought it was a fair and honest review....at the very least the guys a fan of basketball/ basketball video games...

At least it's not Gamespot, where the guy is saying "I admittedly don't know much about hoops" during the review...

These mainstream review sites like IGN/Gamespot/GameTrailers, etc are NOT reliable when it comes to review scores for sports games.
