Is 2K basketball an amazing improvement on PS4?

[glp]

I'm trying to decide to upgrade from PS3 to PS4. I only play sports games, and which ever one is in season.

Will I be blown away with the improvements of the PS4 or is it just a bit better graphics and a bunch of cut scenes and cheer leaders and announcer clips. Because I X thru all of that stuff as fast as I can X to get back to the game. Granted, I may watch the cheerleaders do there dance bit routines a time or twice.

But, does anything really happen "better" or is the picture that much more phenomenal?

I'm pretty sure this is about the thousandth identical post so...sorry, but thanks in advance if you reply.

It can't be put into words really. The improvement is monumental and worth every penny from a GAMEPLAY and TRUE basketball point of view...it's one of those "Shut up and take my money type of situations" Idk I REALLY can't explain it in words, the only word I can use to talk about the jump from ps3 to ps4 is epic (from a 2K standpoint). And that's not my opinion that's a fact...and anyone who would say otherwise is dead wrong.

yes its an improvement but there are some frustrating issues with this game. I think if they are not addressed Im making the switch to live. What I find is that the developers have made a jacked up game of basketball where the CPU plays at unrealistic levels and we the user are left with a 100 plus controls to figure out on how to stop them. The AI shooting % are off the charts some times. What kills me is when I execute on offense and get the wide open high % shot, I miss because of a jacked up shot meter..continuously. The AI continues to torch and burn from all aspects of the court. They basically made shooting harder and defense harder and jacked the AI up to super teams, therefore leaving a very unbalanced game to me which makes no sense.


The awful animations that my players get stuck in often results in hurting my team because while the animation is playing out the AI is off and running or rebounding and scoring.


Im also noticing a conflict with the X button on passing. If you pass and there is a lose ball. The player you just passed with automatically becomes a defensive player and if you hit X by accident you take control of another player where the ball was intended to go and the passer is standing there looking stupid and doesn't get to the loose ball and the AI gets its and scores.


There are some serious issues with this game if you try to play at a level above All star...lets face it anyone who plays on all star or below would think the game is great because those levels are so easy..

There are some annoyances, but its an amazing game. Especially offline.

I don't see what is amazing when the game is unbalanced and we have to work so hard do things that the AI does. I can do the exact same things they do, shoot wide open shots and get near perfect release and miss 4,5, and 6 times in the row and the AI continually comes down court and sink 3's, jumpers with D all over, blow right by my D, rebound after rebound. What is amazing because they made the pro stick moves realistic or players mimic themselves. That doesn't mean anything If the gameplay is broken, in which it is. If I see that annoying thing on offense and defense than I'm playing an annoying game that is in need of having those issues addressed

The gameplay is not broken.

That word gets thrown around on here far too often, without an understanding of what 'broken' means.

Well give me some facts because to prove otherwise because I have stated mine and there are other posts that directly state other gameplay issues that make the game impossible to play for those of us who have known the 2K series
