NBA 2K14 Impressions (PS4/Xbox One)

[Fresh Tendrils]

There are two versions of the game. If you don't like one play the other one.


There's a ton of people enjoying this one despite its limited mode/features. I'm still having fun playing random match ups and just being in awe of the presentation and on-court gameplay. Not to mention the real-time NBA scores/stats integration is amazing. Tonight or tomorrow I'll move onto MyGM and fiddle around with that.

We are just discussing the game, giving impressions and no one here forces someone else to choose a side/game (CG-NG). Both versions have great gameplay. NG=Gameplay+Graphics-Modes, CG=Gameplay+Modes-Graphics imo.

There's giving impressions and then there's trying to direct others on how to evaluate and enjoy the game.

I don't think it's that. It's calling a spade a spade. The game is pretty and the gameplay is great. It lacks big time when it comes to those modes for reason repeatedly mentioned in this thread. A lot of folks (sim-heads) are about meat and potatoes. When a person pays $65 for a sports game, they want a complete package. Now I'm tripping about 2K's poor performance with the modes. As far as those who bought the game and they're angry, they should've researched this game before buying it.

Well, yeah I can understand what you're saying. But I think he's just trying to explain it because the overall feel in this forum is "It's pretty, it plays great, no one should complain. Keep quiet. Embrace 2K!" where we should be calling them out on flaws. Which is not giving proper attention to the modes. To each his own though but people in this forum have to remember:

We've gone through many years of sports games this past-gen build ideas for features to implement. Things that we've gone without in Madden, 2K, WWE, The Show, etc. Gamers have to speak up or devs will continue to ignore us.

If this was 2k15 or they had ported over the same game, made resolution slightly better, and removed features then I can understand the backlash and hanging 2k from the rafters for whatever travesty they've done.

But that simply isn't the case. Light on modes/features? Sure; everybody in this thread is aware of that and to the majority of us we're still more than happy with what came in the box. For me its a fair trade considering they've essentially started from scratch. For some that is enough and for others that isn't.

If there aren't some true next-gen features in 2k15 then I think all the "its not enough" talk will be warranted. Until then I'm in a wait and see mode, but I'm loving the gameplay and to me that's enough.

What *should* be the main discussion is this server/cloud non-sense they have set-up to save and load everything through.

So we can't say what we don't like about the game because it is a first next generation tittle, uh? I don't agree, feedback about what the game is doing wrong is very important . It is not about a fair trade or something like that: it is about pointing what they have to improve/patch. And if you just don't say anything in the forums, how will the devs know about it?
