NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

[Da InFaMoUs NY]

Some of ya'll take this 2k ish way too serious, it's a $60 VIDEO GAME that looks amazing and i'm not just talking graphically. If you want a perfect basketball game, go outside, grab a ball and play basketball. smh some of ya'll take nitpicking to whole other level on this site. How long have ya'll been playing video games? you do realize no game is or will be perfect right?!

That behind the backboard fadeaway by LaMarcus at 1:08 drove me crazy.

I'm not really disappointed, I was just hoping the game would be a lot "smarter"

Seeing that play kind solidifies that some of the things I hated about the gameplay are still there.

Might have expected too much. The improvements to the modes look amazing though.

I had unrealistic high expectations so when I saw the actual gameplay release trailer, I saw iggy and Davis and their reactions, I thought were human like.(also, at the time, I thought they were signature celebrations which doesn't seem to be the case..I don't think)I was slightly disappointed but still very excited about the game. Since it was a BOGO sale, it was a no brainer to get it. Nothing wrong with being slightly disappointed. It isn't the end of the world and I'm not crapping on the devs or the team that worked on this game. Its a solid job. I just really hate when my comments are taken out of context. If I disagree with the majority, then I'm trolling or I'm a ***** or so forth. Far from the truth. I enjoy this series. I'm not an annual adopter. so you could imagine the hype I had for this game. My levels have been brought down to earth and I can enjoy the game which I know I will log heavy hours on.

That's just the thing I think there might be alot of animations that we've never seen before that may add to the immersion. Like look at the way Kobe brushes dudes arm off him before he drives at 1:44, I have a feeling there are more of these "hidden gems" that we haven't seen yet that can add to that wow factor.

It probably was. Must have been a MyGM trade. I think I saw Lin too.

Also, we've been seeing videos of this game capped at 30 fps. Animations are bound to look better in the actual, 60 fps product.

That play of Wade driving and falling to the floor looked very awesome...wish the IGN screen/graphic in the foreground was removed to see it clearer.

That happens in CG too, which is just painful to see. I really hope this is patched for both systems.

I think it is you that is taking the criticism way too seriously. A suggestion is a suggestion. It will not break or make a persons purchase, especially if its minor. Its just a suggestion for the little things. Go to GTA V and you'll know the small little things that make the game great. Is it wrong to ask for a thing? Hell no. Is it wrong to bash a game because it doesn't have the suggestion that They want? YES!

Jeez.

True. Its only the first year. So its a great foundation and I loved that. Playing this game at 60fps is going to be sweet
