I don't see what's wrong with people saying it looks exactly like 2K13. It does. Not just the player models. The presentation. The scoreboard. The pre-tip animations. That ridiculous lob where a right-handed player slams it with his left even though it looked like he didn't really have to. Skin texture also looks the same (i.e., like the players are made of plastic or wood).
And why is Sefolosha wearing 25 and not 2? I haven't heard anything about him changing his number for the 2014 season.

Looks good. The only thing that I didn't like and hope they can correct for next gen is the "sliding" in some of the animation transitions. ie. defensive stance to a defensive slide.
I like what I see though. Looks like 2k improved gameplay wise. I want to see a cheeser play to see if defenders will slide out of the way because of a forced dunk or layup animation. I hope they got rid of that non sense and there is better contact.
But in this video the sliding looks to be much improve. Hopefully next gen it will be eliminated completely.

I've had years of 2K where I've been 100% hyped at this point, then I've had years like this one, where nothing has really jumped out at me yet. I'm guessing some other people feel the same way. And maybe their verbalization of those feelings is just their way of expressing disappointment that the game doesn't seem to have a ton of things that pop out at them right away.
Further, when people say it feels or looks the same, they could literally be referring to the player graphics. But if I had to guess, they're referring to everything: the graphics, the presentation, the audio, the commentary, the off-court animations, a lot of the on-court animations, etc. I admit it, in reference to all those elements I just mentioned, 2K14 seems to look more like a previous 2K than any other new edition I've seen this generation. The reasons why this may be are very sensible (end of console's run, graphical ceiling, concentration on next gen) but it probably doesn't make people feel much better about it.
The good news is we've hardly scratched the surface and all our presumptions could be flipped upon their heads. But just as there's always people who say, "Wait! Wait! We don't know everything yet! This game could still be awesome!", one must understand there'll likely always be a counterpoint out there saying, "Alright, in the past I've seen this game hyped and I was ultimately let down. I think I'm going to be a little more cautious in what I wait for and what I let myself buy into this time around."
This is my 2 cents from what I observed from the videos
When the developers sat down at the table and asked what was their number #1 priority when it came down to NBA 2K14, I'm pretty damn sure it wasn't presentation or player models. So someone took the black sharpie and listed out priority fixes for NBA 2K14 that needed to be addressed such as 1) gameplay being the highest on that list. Now the developers will also tell you that games developed on a yearly circle are under-appreciated and the full vision for the developers is prolonged on 3 phases. This is true. Sport games don't have the luxury to be produced every 2-3 years. So anything they establish gameplay wise will be naked and transparent to the human eye at first. It's better for you the gamer/consumer to try out and be the judge, because he said/she said will just confuse you even more. Now I'm just talking about the current gen version here not the next gen. I believe the next gen version will blow folks away, they got some surprises up their sleeves. I see the disappointment in folks but what I'm saying is 2K is using majority of their resources and assets on the next gen version because that is the bread and butter for 2K years to come. The current gen is at the maturity/decline stage in the cycle

by the way i know i don't need to buy the game but that doesn't mean i don't want two good basketball games..so the game i do buy won't be slacking because one company starts to not care..then it means i have no basketball game...2k is consider "the best" so it needs to stay way so the other game can push themselves to do better..i use to buy both games back in the day and right now i don't have that option..smh
The upside to what seems to be modest changes is that most of the work seems to have been done on game systems and addressing balance issues. Instead of massive new changes with new exploits, it sounds like many things were upgraded and the exploits were specifically addressed.
It could be a good thing that 2K14 is more like a super patch (and then some), and it might end up being one of the most balanced and realistic games in the series.

The speed of the game has improved but fast breaks still don't look quick enough. There isn't really much of a blur when you see Westbrook sprinting down the court in transition. I think the problem is a legacy issue, though, in that the players don't take big enough strides and/or steps when they sprint in the game, but maybe it's just me. Hope they fix the ice-skating for next-gen, too.

LOL at all of this outrage. Over what, one minute of gameplay?
People are quick to complain and get angry. Acting like a little kid in a grocery store when your mom doesn't want you to buy candy, what with all these posts *read: temper tantrums* from all the whining grown folks here.
The game hasn't even released yet and people are saying that it is awful, horrible, nothing's changed, etc.
Talking about "Why would I waste my money on this?" and "I don't see anything new" and "2K is lazy" and "2K has gone downhill" and etc.
But then the same people who complain, whine, etc. are more often than not the first people to buy the game.
