Why so negative? Whats your favorite thing about 2k14?

[TDpresents]

I know a lot of you guys voice your opinion about things you don't like in the game, which trust me, isn't a bad thing at all, but what's your favorite thing so far about 2k14?!

[quehouston]

Being able to actually stop people. 2k13, i felt like to win, i had outscore my opponent. But this year i can actually have success with a defense first mentality.

Nothing the game freaking blows
















































Jk...my favorite thing is it's not NBA 2K13

I love all the contact. Although contact shots go in at a somewhat unrealistic rate. Defense is also fun as well.

Favorite things:
1. Fouls feel more frequent than they did in NBA 2K13 once you bump them all to 100. In 13 I could go all game (8 min quarters) and never see more than 4 fouls between both teams. It's usually 10+ between both now, even more if there is a lot of drives/post plays.

2. Defense feels much better than it did in last year's game. Blocks are far more common for those who should get them (and at times for those who shouldn't). It does feel a bit... over done at times, but part of that is probably because my association team has 5 players (between SF, PF & C) that are 6'10" or taller... and the game loves to try and drive on them with PG's and SG's all game.

3. Rebounding (especially user rebounding) feels much better. AI doesn't feel like it has as much of an insane advantage when they're going for offensive rebounds. I still had to tone it down some, but it's fine.

Also, I cannot say it's a pro... but I have face palmed or laughed at this game MORE since launch than I did 2k13 all year. AI controlled players (User & AI team) do some of the most bone headed things ever. Was playing the Timberwolves and their SF got the ball... stood in place for a moment, looked like he was going to drive, then ran straight sideways (a good 6-7 steps) out of bounds untouched.

I regularly have players (especially younger Centers) throw or hand my PG the ball when he's out of bounds after a rebound. Times go up for the rebound, miss it and barely touch out of bounds... but they pass it anyway. The AI botches inbound passes similarly for the AI team. I dunno, I got annoyed by these at first, but over the last dozen games have started laughing at them. Usually the games end in a 8-10 point difference (either ahead or behind for me) so, they don't usually make too much of a difference as they're usually only once every 3-4 games.

For me gameplay wise its by far the best basketball game ever. Thing I love the most is defense now matters, and there is actually shot blocking which was non existent last year. You can actually win a game cause of defense now even if your not clicking offensively.

The other thing I like is the offense flows so much better this year and your players stay spaced for the most part.

Other than having to adjust shooting tendencies, fouls and lower the AI rebounding down the game plays greta out of the box without having to play 50 games trying to get sliders right for Association mode.

Bad passes this year dont look like thye are pre determined this year with the ball flying over a guys head, they actually look like bad passes most of the time this year unlike years past when you tried to get realistic turnover rates.

There is always going to be whiners and crybabies no matter how good a game is. 95%+ are the onliners that whine about things and I think that is something that wont ever change. Your always going to have sore losers and guys who think if they dont win then its the game fault, or if someone dont play realistic online then its 2ks fault instead of the person who u are playing. Of course the guys who dont play realistic will whine because if they have to have knowledge to win then they wont be happy either Its why I only play offline only

One word. DEFENSE.

[shegotgame]

1. The ability to punish opponents who don't run an offense. (Note: Running an offense doesn't necessarily man calling plays.) I was all over this guy running the Kyrie Irving and 4 strangers offense. Blocked shots. Stolen passes. Crazy. I felt vindicated for thinking through the game. Nothing worse than losing b/c someone beat you with a controller vs beating you at basketball (there's a difference).


2. I don't get the complaints. The Pro-Stick is one of the most innovative things I've seen in this generation of sports games--gaming period, actually.

3. The BK Nets are involved. How could that ever be wrong?
