NBA 2K14 Review (PS4/XBox One)

12:08 PM - November 24, 2013 by RaychelSnr

Next-gen basketball is here, to (mostly) good results.

It’s tough to have any expectations coming into this new generation of consoles. Seven years ago we all had high expectations, and for sports gamers, it turned out to be arguably the biggest let down in the history of sports gaming. But this time it truly is different.

NBA 2K14, with its flaws, is ushering in a new generation of sports games.

But even more importantly, a sports game – yes, a sports game – is ushering the entire generation with graphics that can truly be considered next-gen. But a game isn’t defined by only what you see, as NBA 2K14 is also quick to let you know.

Best looking console game is what I assume you mean.

Yes, game looks great...game play is tight....enjoying my 1st few days on the xbox one

# 3 ultralow36 @ 11/24/13 03:03 PM

you can play mycareer and mygm offline just fine....

Hit online on the spot. I hate playing against the A.I and if this game didn't play as well as it did I would probably not play it at all offline. I will say that the few games I was able to play online were pretty much lag free. They almost felt like offline games. Get working on those servers 2k.

I'm a little disappointed this review didn't touch on the lack of 30 team control or trade logic in mygm. As a sim gamer I want the rosters to be as accurate as possible the first season especially so I always control all the teams. I've been waiting for this review to decide on whether to purchase 2K14 on current or next gen and it wasn't the help I was hoping it would be. I've heard the trade logic is pretty bad so it's looking like I gotta stick with current gen to get the experience I want.

I'm really surprised there was no mention of the online roster fiasco. This was a really bad design decision. You have to upload your rosters and then you have to download them before every game. No good. It's especially bad for a team like the Suns that have four wrong players on the team including a starter.

Nice game. Thelight need to improve.
PD: Why i when i try tomake a blog entry this mesage cames up "you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons"

compared to nba live, I think 8.5 was being respectful lol

# 9 DustinT @ 11/24/13 06:45 PM

The trade logic is My GM is pretty bad. They just need an option to turn it off, because it's a fantasy draft by the time the playoffs begin.

# 10 tariqosuave @ 11/24/13 06:52 PM

Online play? Servers are up I think

# 11 Jakeness23 @ 11/24/13 06:59 PM

I hate the controls. We need an alternative (I have one in my blog) and if they're going to commit to the right stick for dribbling, put them all on there... I'm still doing moves with the left stick that I don't mean to do and it will result in a cross then hesitation when all I wanted was a crossover, truly annoying. Oh and shooting hook shots behind the basket is automatic, that has to go.

But not with your custom roster...

Hi everybody? Has anybody encountered his problem: After trying to upload MyGM the screen freezes and you can't do anything, just turn off your PlayStation 4. Then, I tried to play again and I don't have any of the new features for MyGM. It is actually the same than last year. I though you can control a lot of aspect of your team. And There are not more cut scenes with my player. None!

# 14 bballshawn24 @ 11/24/13 11:37 PM

honestly its a 7.7. They need to patch some things

# 15 RayCool @ 11/24/13 11:45 PM

The Customization issues are totally accurate. I mean It's one thing to not include certain customization features, but for "me" my issue stems from what they've removed from the game after the release day patch.

Prior to the patch, when editing rosters you could adjust a player's "leg length" and "torso length" separately, which allowed for realistic signature player body types. It was possible to replicate players like: Kevin Durant, Larry Sanders, and Dwight Howard with their long legs and small torso.

Post patch combined the two features into "body length", which doesn't allow you to make the legs/torso as long or short as desired. Why add such a great customization feature that helps to replicate real player body types and replace it with a second rate variation?

Please fix this 2K...

Great game....but same terrible 2k servers and VC almost ruins it.

# 17 CoachDavid @ 11/25/13 10:22 AM

I have been playing on the Xbox one and love this game. The ecomotion fixes a lot of the kick balls and loss dribbles on the 360 version. The updated attribute system in my career is also a nice change. Also the ability to use points prior to the rookie showcase. The arm and torso length has finally allow me to make a rhondo or McGee.
I can't get the full play art to show unless I go in the game options every game and set them. Fouls are still managed in a broken way by the CPU.
On the bright side, kinect voice control finally works and it works well. No more timeouts call by the annoucers and my commands don't require me to yell. Now they need to add calling out picks and defensive rotations.
Also need a third person camera with no stylish panning.
This game is a classic. I have played online and its pretty good but that may be an Xbox thing.

# 18 franzis @ 11/25/13 10:35 AM

I expected some references to VC in any terms. Instead it isn't even mentioned.

# 19 rlb1976 @ 11/25/13 11:51 AM

Can anyone confirm how bad the trade logic is in my gm? My purchase of current or next gen depends on it. If trades are all over the place I won't be able to stand it.

They need a commissioner mode. Where you can focus on your team or teams, but oversee everything else and veto stupid trades and make the trades/roster moves that happen in real life.

# 20 JustSteve @ 11/25/13 01:43 PM

Is anybody making a basket on an "and one"? The last game I played, every time, out of at least 10 times when I get fouled on a shot attempt, the ball rolls off the rim.
