huh? its the same game for both consoles aside from the black ice jewelry and extra park court on the PS4. and the review is also on the PS4 page.

Looks cool...disappointed in the cheese mentioned in my career. that is the same voice actor form NBA2k12...time to get someone new and new writers. Ill still pick this up though for my son and I to play.

i cant really take them seriously after i hear/read "smart ai".

park mode sounds cool as long as the servers are decent. jittery lag kills the experience for me right now so hopefully its better ng. the few clips they showed looked pretty smooth but ill have to see for myself.

my career seems pretty lame with the cutscenes. same voice that people have been complaining about since it started and no one else has voices.

never got much into association modes in bball since live 09/2k9 but mygm sounds interesting.

Personally I take into account that 2K released a fairly substantial upgrade to the current gen game only a little more than a month ago. I think the most realistic expectation for the next gen game was for it to be more or less a graphical upgrade of the current gen game. 2K's shown they made a much larger effort; and most outlets seem to acknowledge that of all the next gen games with current gen counterparts - ALL, not just the sports games - NBA2K14 next gen looks to have taken the most substantial leap. It's attracting people to the game that aren't even basketball fans. If some saw the hype trailer then raised their expectations several notches above where it should be while losing the perspective that the next gen is releasing only a few months after the current gen game, then imo that's on them. It's the old analogy of a kid bringing home his report card and getting 5 A's and 2 B's, and the parent focuses more on the B's than the A's.

they acknowledge that theyve taken the most substantial leap graphically. this review said that gameplay is almost identical to current gen. to me thats a disappointment. i expected much improved ai at the very least. graphics will come eventually for every game eventually but it seems like they focused more on tangibles (visuals modes etc.) than the issues under the hood that could have really made the game better.

The game is the same on both consoles right?

Whoever decided on the design theme for UI interface and layouts for the modes is craaazy... Looks straight out of of '93 super nintendo game.

Yeah sounded like his gripes or what held the score back was my player, cheesy acting, one persone talking and the other responding in text and things of that nature. Which I do agree that's takes something away from that scene but I don't do those modes anyway.
