See, that's what I'm banking on. I just hope that enough info comes out before Oct. 1st so I know if the upgrade is significant enough to bypass the current gen version. I would hate to wait til the next gen is released, and find out it's basically a gimped (or even equal, outside of visuals) version (I'm thinking Madden '06).

On the other hand, it would also suck if they we didn't get enough info, I bought CG, and the NG version was better in numerous ways. I just hope that the folks at 2K aren't gonna purposely hold out some info, banking on us buying BOTH versions, cause I'm not gonna go that route.

I won't be purchasing the current gen game since I'm getting a next gen console. I will wait for the next gen game.

I imagine there's a new mode. Maybe an interconnected My Player/My Career. You can play online against other My Players's teams in their own thing. Make it a super Key Game kinda deal. Especially if you play the same position.

Just a thought.

I'm probably going to be one of the only dudes buying a PS4 with only sports games at launch at the store.

Banking on 2K14 and Madden to be pretty good.

I'll be doing the same. PS4 with 2K14 and Live 14. Maybe Watch Dogs too.

Most of you know next gen PS4/XB1 won't have the two best modes available Crew Mode & My Team. I sold my PS3 to help pay for my PS4 once I heard NBA 2K14 was available for the PS4, little did I know it would be in an incomplete form. I wrote Ronnie a letter, way too late, but I feel at least 2% better for voicing my complaint...

Hi Ronnie,

I'm so bummed for NBA 2K14 on the next gen platforms...

*MyTEAM - Back and better than ever, with new player modes, multi and single player tournaments, and much more. (PS3 & Xbox 360 only !!!)

*Crews - The single-most requested game mode is back! Face off against opposing crews online using your MyPLAYER. Create your logo and face off in 5v5 battles with other crews featuring leaderboards and stats. (PS3 & Xbox 360 only!!!)

I'm not 100% clear on this. No Crews or My Team at all on Next Gen ? Nil, zip, nada ? OR is there some form of both or either ?

My Team was by far my favorite mode last year, total blast, brilliant mode, eventhough people cheated to get their VC (not me) and some aquired players were glitchy; weren't able to add or drop them. As well blacktop (crews light) was my second favorite mode. Now it appears neither are being included. Leaving us with "My Player" which I've never put much time into outside of blacktop (to raise quick money for My Team) because I want to play other humans, cpu associations or playoffs which I don't put much time into either because playing against the CPU in 2K isn't a strongpoint of 2K IMO. So what does that leave outside of vs. CPU mode, and My Player vs. CPU ? Quick Match that's it, and maybe a LBJ challenge possibly, not much to be frank.

For the first time since 2008 I am going to see what NBA Live has to offer. Maybe I skip a season while 2K tries to catch up to next gen ? If I still had my old PS3 then sure I'd be happy with the last gen console and NBA 2K14 PS3 as a last gen complete game, but I don't sold it already paid for my PS4 figuring as soon as I heard 2K14 would be available for the PS4 I'd be set. Why would I think it would be in an incomplete form of NBA 2K14 ? Crazy right 2K has been the sports gaming rock. Respectfully it appears 2K failed to bring their two best modes to 2K14 and us next genners are out of luck. It just seems like it's backwards Ronnie like you guys sold the future to stick with the past.

Thank you for your time Ronnie. I'd appreciate it if you passed this on to others on the 2K team that might care as well.

Sincerely,

Sean

2k hasnt released any info on next-gen. You probably seen that it said that crew was only for 360 and ps3 and took it as them saying it wasnt on next-gen when they were really saying that it wasnt on the pc version
