NBA 2K14 Impressions (PS4/Xbox One)

[Knux-Future]

To not come off as a debbie downer and a ***** I am going to talk about soe of the good things.

The gameplay is awesome. You have to play real defense, gambling is penalized heavily now. Stay with you man. Also you cant spam block and steal and get buy because now dudes will score on you and not go into set animations.

Some things I need to tweak or get sliders from here but gameplay wise the game is great.

Too bad it is getting dragged down by some questionable omissions. The whole they didn't have time excuse is legit but it doesn't sit well with me because of the extra stuff they did add. That feels like it should have been something they saved for 2k15 when they did have time. Plus some decisions feel really stupid. Such as being able to save your own rosters....only when you are offline. I found this out as the servers are spotty right now. So the capability is there but it is only if you play offline like fully offline.

Still having fun but I won't play as long as I have in the past. Just no real incentive to do so when 2k left out some personally crucial features.

He's basically saying now that the consoles has caught up with the graphics and all that can now be incorporated to the PC and from there the mods can go further with customization with great graphics now

Forgot to mention earlier that the crowd has been improved dramatically. It's not perfect but it feels way more alive than current gen.

Yes. Crowd really gets pumped and seems to understand the situation much better than current gen.

It's almost scary how good they are because just as I'm about to pump my fists, I hear the crowd working with me.

Also never noticed this before in current gen but maybe the crowd is just so much more prominent I'm paying attention to them: I was taking crucial free throws and they went silent. And somewhere between the ball leaving the shooter's hands and going into the basket, you could hear a few thousand start cheering and it then grows into a stadium cheer when it clears the net. Very nice little touch.

I'm gonna use that word again. Organic.

This is, hands down, the BEST sports sim of all time gameplay wise.

The menu/server/roster situation, however, is testing my patience. It is almost ruining the entire experience for me.

The menus, whatever. It's dumb but I can get used to it. But to have your custom rosters dependent on the server actually working and not being able to save them to your own hard drive is asinine, asiTEN, asiELEVEN. I can't come up with one logical reason they would do this.

Like right now, I can basically only play quick games with the default out of box roster because the servers are apparently down. UNACCEPTABLE.

As happy as I am with NG NBA 2K14.......

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE NG NBA 2K15!

As for this year's edition, I give it an 8.0/10. Strictly for comparison, I'd say Madden 25 NG is a 5.5/10. There's room for for improvement in both but NBA has come out of the gate stronger.
