The player movement is obviously better but there's still something missing. The intermediate moves where players transition from running to walking ect aren't quite there yet.
Graphically the game looks legit. It was tough to take anything away gameplay-wise though. It did appear awfully similar to current gen but again, easy to say that with such an abbreviated peek.
Regarding small details - it kind of seems like the new head scans have funny jowls (aka the skin beneath the jaw). Again, small detail, but the emotion seems to make some players (Curry) look like they have loose fat skin on the neck. If that holds true with other players (noticed with James as well) I could totally see that being an aspect we look back on five years from now and laugh at how we thought it looked so real at the time.
My other small problem was with Bogut's alley-oop dunk. I'm hoping those stiff dunk animations where the hands don't come within five inches of the rim are slowly eradicated. I was kind of hoping they'd be gone for next gen.
I liked the animations on the Bogut screen. And I also like the Wade's ball denial. Not sure I'm in love with the ball and rim interaction though. Overall it looks really good.
Very nice.
Also, it looks like the cpu ai is a lot better. The play to get LeBron that 3 was really nice. Looks like the initial play broke down and they immediately went to a second action- Chalmers getting nice screen then driving and kicking to a wide open Bosh. The defense rotated and he made a skip pass to LeBron for the 3 (complete with his semi-fall away 3 pt shot). All of this going on while the reviewer is saying much hasnt changed much
I'm pretty sure this doesnt happen CG, even if it does it doesnt look this smooth.
Just from that small clip it looks like gameplay will definitely be improved.
While ball tangibility is great, Players interaction are still a force field away. Bosh tapped lebron on the head, didn't even come close to touching him.
I think the gameplay looks pretty good and solid. Yes it might not be perfect. But it will get there soon enough. 2k has done a good job on the next gen so far for NBA2k14. I'm looking forward to it next month.
shocked some of you are not impressed. people have been already saying 2k14 CG is the best ball game ever, not sure why they would need to change much from that. animations looked even better now with the better graphics and better fps (i think?).
I wish there wasn't that damn music! I wanted to hear the crowd noise and the sound effects!!
Also, after my second look at it, I love the spacing! I love how the players move offball especially in that clip before Lebron hits the 3, there is a double screen, everybody seems to be moving for a specific purpose!
Welp. Mike Wang did say the control scheme was similar to current gen 2K14, so I'd expect it to play similarly.
On another note. HOW. HARD. IS IT. TO. GET. STEPH. CURRY's. SHOT. RIGHT?
ARGH. Not only that but Paul Pierce's shot has been wrong for the last 3 years too. This is one of those small little things that just grate on my nerves. It's not visually correct and I'm tired of looking at that funky looking shot that looks nothing like his actual form.
There are about 15 takes on Currys shot, even by the community...Even if he comes in and captures it, he has so many different shots...same with LeBron for 2k14...he doesn't fade as much as he does on the shot he captured for the most part
Now Pierces shot I agree on....they actually had it right in 2k11 and his release and J. Kidds base has been spot on for a while IMO

two thumbs up from me
Looks better than CG obviously lol but I don't know. I just thought it would look better overall. I can tell we'll think theses graphics sucks 6 years from now. It looks like it's the start of a new gen... But it's not as impressive as I thought it would be based on the trailers.
