NBA 2K14 Impressions (PS4/Xbox One)

[Fresh Tendrils]

There's a bug/glitch thread for patches. I don't think they can patch in game-modes. If they can then they deserve the lambasting they're getting.

Nobody is saying you can't post your impressions, but wading through the same posts with the same tone by the same people is a little nauseating. Everybody knew what the features and modes were before the game was released so it shouldn't be a shock or surprise to not see those modes in the game when you turn it on.

well, that is unfair, because we knew what modes were in the game, but we didn't know the level of customization in them. It is now, when the game is out, that we are aware of the minimum options that they are giving to us.

No we got it, we're just tired of seeing the same thing over and over.

I am loving this game. The gameplay is so much better than current gen it's not even funny. Does it suck we don't have some of the customization & control we did on current gen? Sure, but I don't feel like 2k is robbing me of my money or experience because the in game experience is so much more enjoyable than current gen that it makes this game worth it just on that alone.

I think you are overreacting and throwing straw man arguments to defend your position.

The majority is understanding that 2K used resources to improve the gameplay and graphics. That same majority doesn't like that certain things were sacrificed as a result, but they are understanding that resources were used elsewhere.

This is an entirely new engine. Try to sit back and understand what happened here.

2K took the time to say "we need to fix the on court experience because it's not next gen. We will do this knowing we cannot spend enough time focusing on several features."

2K could have plugged in current gen gameplay with updated graphics and called it a day. They could have also plugged in current gen features and called it a day.

They said no to all of that. They focused on next gen gameplay and one next gen feature: MyGM which for those not letting go for a moment to reflect, is one of those things people have been scratching for in Association mode for years. Not just current gen, but previous gen as well.

It's a sacrifice. We aren't giving 2K a pass. We are understanding that they aren't gonna just throw in current gen features. They are trying to make sure every feature is next gen.

Does it suck we don't have 30-team control or create a player? Yes. Most definitively and every understanding person knows that.

But again, 2K is not content with current gen features. My perspective on what they've done in 2K14 NG is: everything will be next gen.

I'm confident when they introduce create a player and 30-team control Association, it will come with improvements that reflect the current state of the game: next generation.

Gotta be patient. It's the reality of building an entire game from scratch.

Has anyone seen a travelling call?

Loving the game so far!!! Haven't played since 2K11 so my first game I was horribly rusty, lost something like 56-113 lol. Since then every game has been tight, it really takes all of my energy and concentration to play a clean game. Only done NBA today so far with 12 min quarters and sim sliders - my dad loves watching me play, especially after he heard something on NPR comparing the game's audio and stat tracking to real life. First time I booted up the game he walked in and said "Oh did they start showing games on TV already?"

Game is ace, great job VC

I haven't played the game yet but I'll be getting my p4 either today or tomorrow.

I have a question. I've seen a ton of gameplay vids on YouTube and I have yet to see the CPU walk the ball up court when inbounding the ball after a made basket. Has anybody seen this yet by the CPU? What about "walking the dog"?

And how's the CPU post game? Are they even passing it into the post and playing Grizzlies style "Grind house" basketball ?
