NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

01:04 AM - November 12, 2013 by Steve_OS

IGN has posted the first NBA 2K14 next-gen review, giving it an 8.9 out of 10. In The Park, players can take their MyCAREER player into 2-on-2 half-court, 3-on-3 three-quarter-court, or 5-on-5 full-court games, unfortunately there is no sign of CREW or leagues within the mode.

They mention the MyCAREER voice acting is kind of cheesy, especially considering your player will have audio included, but the people you talk to mostly have subtitles.

In the video review, it looks like warm-ups are confirmed to be back in (for those of you worried about that from earlier videos), the graphics and animations are jaw-dropping, complete with native 1080p and 60 FPS.

Ronnie2K and LD2K will be streaming next-gen NBA 2K14 at 4:00 PM PST today, so we should be able to see and hear even more. For those that are curious, the OS review will be up a week or so after we receive the game. Nobody on staff will have a PlayStation 4 until the 15th.

It can score lower than the current gen because OPTIONS are not in this NG game. If this were the CG with NG modes added onto it then you would have a point but when OPTIONS are out and modes are just beginning you are going to get a lower score.

Wow, Broadcast looks beautiful. Hopefully my career isnt as cheesy as the reviewer said... This game should have a rating higher than cg

# 24 Cowboy008 @ 11/12/13 01:21 AM

Sorry to get off topic but does anyone know when OS will have a 2k14 NG review?

# 25 RangersCruz @ 11/12/13 01:22 AM

2:03 nice to see this inside the game having control of how the teammates will play is big

and the MyCareer how he looks so nice lol and different voice from the other thread...eat it haters

# 26 nickkwooddd @ 11/12/13 01:22 AM

And just by seeing this, NBA Live is screwed (even more than they already were)

# 27 23 @ 11/12/13 01:22 AM

The guy seems to love the game though, he said it was a no brainer if you're wondering if you should pick it up.

Not even a little bit, but I like it better on NG at least how it looks than on CG. I think the physics difference in hardware is why its better on NG.

BTW, Paul George dunking was beautiful

because nba 2k14 had so much potential and had so much hype, it failed to live up to it, and played like CG is the assumption I gather from this review. But that's ok, there's room for improvement which is a good thing. Considering I got this game for free, I can't really complain

I think it's because that mute player was Cousins

With that i agree

# 33 s1xt6en @ 11/12/13 01:28 AM

we do know that an 8.9 is a great score right? lol..

# 34 Artman22 @ 11/12/13 01:29 AM

Such a beautiful looking game...

BTW, Im tired of the trash can rim sounds man... I need to just go create a thread for this one. Its not realistic and its been there since the freaking orginal NBA 2k. That's just ridiculous

# 36 King_B_Mack @ 11/12/13 01:31 AM

Shouldn't have watched this. Now I can't wait even more. Dammit lol

# 37 robo3687 @ 11/12/13 01:33 AM

Someone needs to get busy with some serious gif-ing from that review....

If Madden 25 scores higher or remotely close to NBA 2K14 next gen I'm going to throw up and vow to forever be done with IGN reviews. They will have earned zero credibility with me.

# 40 lakers24 @ 11/12/13 01:35 AM

That Ray Allen smile though....that was seriously uncanny. With a few adjustments to sliders, this game will play excellent. I have a custom slider set I use on CG and I know if I tweaked it just a tad bit more it'd be perfect.
