NBA 2K14 Video - Detroit Pistons vs. Washington Wizards

[BobbyColtrane]

I'm in the minority here but I'm excited for the game. The new blocking system and contact in the paint looks awesome. I can't wait to get my drive and kick game going.

If the PS4 version is that much better I'll wind up buying that too.

isn't Australia's minimum wage 16 dollars? sorta evens out no?

Now, it's not like Wall's sig shot in 2K13 was spot-on or anything but at least it was an attempt at realism.

They do some odd things with sig shots...like changing perfect sig shots for no apparent reason...Jason Terry's perfect sig shot from 2k7 has yet to return...and it was about as spot on as you can get...

I don't agree that they give it little attention through, I still think they're the best in he business as far as signature styles...and they give us they chance to tweak what we want to change (although online gamers are SOL unfortunately)

I did see some improvements this year though..Durant's shot looks great, Perkins shot was a nice addition, Bron as you mention, and it seems like they FINALLY got Garnett a decent looking shot...

It only evens out for those on minimum wage. If you're earning say, $90,000, that doesn't apply at all.

Hey where have you seen him take a jumper? Do you recall? I've rewatched the Bulls/Brooklyn gameplay and I've only seen him take two free throws. Not sure if they where different from before though.

I don't know. I know they browse the forums and I know they have to see the sig shot thread we put up every year.

I wish they would have mo-capped Steph Curry's shot. It still looks terrible. Same goes for Wade. His sig shot is terrible as well. And if they didn't do anything to Paul George's shot and kept it the same as last year I'm going to be very dissapointed .

Yes. They gave Curry a new shot and it still doesn't look anything like his real one. He's local to 2k, and if he didn't want to come in for a mocap session, there are about 500 YouTube videos dissecting his shot form, including one with all 272 3 pointers he made this season. I also studied the hell out of his shot in order to improve my own. It's not that difficult a shot to get right. Come on 2K.

Thompson's looks solid though.

Yeah, they def aren't batting .1000....but I still think they do a great job overall...Wades shot was spot on in 2k8 IMO... It's been iffy since then....I think the problem with players like Curry, Pierce etc. is that their shots look different depending on the situation..I liked the idea of Pierce having a set and jump shot like in 2k11

I'm pretty sure it was in that same BK video
