NBA 2K14 - What we know so far FAQ/QA

So I thought I'd to a thread like this again where I update it with information about the game, so we have everything in one place.

Here's what we know so far.
Last updated on: 04 September

Please come with suggestions what should be added/rewritten and I will keep it updated!

Here's a link to all articles, screenshots, etc., that Operation Sports have published:
http://www.operationsports.com/games/944/nba-2k14/

Updates in bold.

Impression from OS user JasonWilliams55, including videos, can be found here:
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...illiams55.html

General information:

XBOX 360, PlayStation 3, Windows:
October 1 (US), October 4 (EU)

XBOX One: TBA
PlayStation 4: November 15 (US), November 29 (EU):


2K has released a list of the new features. The full list can be found here http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-revealed.html
This list is current gen only. Next gen features will be revealed later this fall.

2K has teamed up with Stats Inc to bring us Dynamic Living rosters. Detailed information on what this means can be found here:http://www.operationsports.com/forum...explained.html


Q: Will there be a difference between the Current Gen version and the Next Gen version?
A: 2K has said that there will be significant differences between the two version. If those are features or
gameplay differences we don't know yet.

The announced teams are:
  • Alba Berlin
  • FC Barcelona
  • Real Madrid
  • CSKA Moscow
  • EA7 Emporio Armani Milano
  • Montepaschi Siena
  • Fenerbahçe Ülker Istanbul
  • Anadolu Efes Istanbul
  • Olympiacos Piraeus
  • Panathinaikos Athens
  • Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv
  • Zalgiris Kaunas
  • Unicaja Málaga
  • Laboral Kutxa Vitoria

Q: Is there a pre-order incentive this year too like last year?
A: Yes, it's something called the King James Bonus Pack which gives you bonus content
to something called the "Path of Greatness" mode. There's no information on what
this mode is yet though.
Here's a link to OS's article about it: http://www.operationsports.com/games/944/nba-2k14/


Association mode:

Nothing has been announced about Association Mode yet.

My Career:

Crew mode is back.

Classic Teams:

Classic teams are still in the game. There has been no information yet though if they have added teams or removed any.

Gameplay:

2K has implemented a new blocking system that includes the ability to block dunks. They have stated
that this is a whole new system for how blocks work.
You can block different shots at different points in the player's animation.

Impressions from the team-up guys who went to 2K to play the game early can be found here:http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ng-system.html

Key Gameplay Features (editor's selection):
Pro Stick™ – Throw down show-stopping moves, pull off intricate shots, and toss flashy no-look passes with deadly accuracy with Pro Stick control. Easily the most intuitive basketball controls ever implemented.
2K Smart Play Button –Quickly call the most suitable play for the context of the game by simply holding a single button.
Improved Player Motion System – With an all new motion system, player movement is much smoother on both ends of the floor, while also allowing for much more explosive cuts and tighter control.
Depth of Content – With significant upgrades in nearly every aspect of the game, both on and off the court, NBA 2K14 boasts more animation content than any previous basketball title, and includes more than 3000 new animations.

Q: Are there any new signature skills?
A: Six new Signature Skills have been added, ensuring each NBA player’s unique abilities are represented in the most authentic way possible. Those are:
LeBron Coast to Coast (Available for pre-orders):
Takes the ball coast to coast and finishes through contact. Speed, Quickness and Ball-Handling attributes are boosted 4 points and the shot penalty enforced for hitting a defender is decreased when taking the ball coast to coast on a fastbreak following a change of possession.

One Man Fastbreak
A player known for his ability to take the ball coast to coast on a fastbreak. Speed, Quickness and Ball-Handling attributes are boosted 6 points if this player takes the ball from one end of the court to another on a fastbreak following a change of possession.

Pick Dodger
A player that does not get caught up on screens very easily. He counters the Brick Wall Signature Skill, and when hitting a screen set by a regular player, the screen often fails to be effective.

Tenacious Rebounder
This player is known for his relentlessness when going for rebounds. During rebound situations, he receives up to a 50% increase in winning boxout battles and poking balls loose on rebounds.

Flashy Passer
This player is known for accurate flashy passes. When throwing a flashy pass, the penalty enforced will be reduced by up to 60%.

Screen Outlet
A player who excels as the receiver in the pick & roll / pop game. If this player shoots immediately following a screen he set, he receives up to a 4 point boost to his shooting attribute.

Pick & Roll Maestro
A ball-handler who excels at orchestrating the pick & roll. As the point man in a pick & roll, immediately following a screen this player receives a 3 point boost to his shooting attribute and is more accurate than most when passing to the screener.


More signature styles have been added. "New jump shots, dunk and layup packages, dribble moves, free throws, pre-game intros, getbacks, celebrations and more"

Would the King James sig skill (or whatever it is) unlocked when you preorder be useful info?

They called myCareer a new mode for 2K13, it was just myPlayer from years past. "all new" has 2 definitions:

-Completely new and haven't been done in the game (Euroleague Teams)

-Rebranded modes/Retitled modes/little features added to the mode
