NBA 2K14 Next-Gen First Impressions

[apollooff320]

Overrated to the MAX. The game plays great when on the court. The CPU Is passing the ball and the PG isn't trying to rush into the paint constantly.

Ppl are overhyping the graphics. Yes they look great but damn calm yourselves they are not that mind blowing while playing. Even my bro who doesn't play basket ball games said it looked like CG. I looked at him like he was stupid but realized he was looking at a close up shot of a player that didn't get their face scanned. There are a lot of those faces in the game like Anderson Varejao and Chris Paul have to be the worst. It also doesn't help that he was watching me play a modded PC version while he was playing the PS4 version. When the camera is in broadcast view the game looks OK, but the moment you look at replays or use close camera views the game looks great. I think the courts on my PC look better though.

I'm also hate how a lot of problems from last gen are still in the game. I simmed MyGm to January and all the teams have decent amount of pissed off players because of roles. We can't even turn roles off and that wasn't it...I could go on forever about the problems.

Seen a few complaints about not being able to sim in my player mode. I don't believe in simming and will be okay if this doesn't change. When My Player was introduced in 2k10 we didn't have this options either. True you had to play 2 full seasons until your player was semi good but hey that's what those shiny VC coins are for. If you are that inpatient then just spend those dollars and upgrade what you want.


Few questions I saw in here.


Can you be traded in draft? NO, you still play rookie showcase and still get drafted based on performance. I had to start few due to not making my mind up good and best I got was first round 4th pick.

Can jerseys be modified before game. NO



Agree with all the Pros this is the best 2k NBA game out as of of yet.


Biggest CON is once again servers. My player park mode is at this point unplayable. Way to man dropped games and to many glitches during games. Out of 10 games only 2 have played from start to finish. That's a nice whopping 20%.....



All in all I love the game too hope they FIX THE SERVERS !!!

It seems that many people we're blow away by just how good this game looks but have quickly become frustrated by its glaring issues & omissions. I cancelled my preorder over here in the UK & will be sticking with NBA 2K14 Current Gen. At least that game lets me play how I want to (Multiplayer Association). Those hoping for the missing Features/Modes to be patched in, forget it. The best you can hope is that 2K have observed these forums & will correct things for next years game.

next gen is WAY better as far as game play goes when comparing to next gen. Anybody who thinks its the same game is kidding themselves. I own both and have put in enough time with both games to notice that there is a huge difference. I currently have a buddy staying with me and HATED current gen nba 2k. And when I say hated I mean hated he could barely make through a game. Not with next gen he loves this **** and it has little to do with the graphics.

Now, everything is expected from what I'm reading, but one thing I was hoping would get way better as a mode is MyGm and it seems it's broken as before. Same frustrating stupid trade logics by AI and morale glitch. Was it worth to put so much of new stuff into this mode when main complaints and woes of Association players are still there? Please 2k, do answer to this.

I will tell you what is most important thing about any association mode - it's real deep competition you can get from AI teams. And it's still not here because of what we reading? But we can manage the price for hot dogs? Are you guys at 2k running away from solving real problems with this mode?

The feedback on here is funny to me. "Next Gen" does not mean PERFECTION fellas. How long have we all been gaming? If we look back every game we ever played had flaws and glitches. How we have come to think "Next Gen" will erase these flaws? How are we still surpised with bad servers? Most of us on here, including me, own a PS3 and 360 now because of server issues or exclusive games on each console. And you think Sony and Microsoft will change? We are all still daing the same girlfriend, she just has new red bottoms and wearing new perfume lol. Once everyone stops being thirsty they will realize dropping $555 (if you cop an extra controller) bought you a an opportunuity to play a "polished" version of a sub par basketball game (2K11 still holds the belt, don't even front on that) on a new console that shows upside. I actually appreciate reading these comments. When I do buy a PS4 I will honestly be able to keep my emotions in perspective and just enjoy this console for what it is...And in this wonderfull country we live in we can still cheat on our girlfriend and buy an XBOX One if we are not happy! I'm just bein honest.

Why is this in the regular 2k thread?
