NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

The gripe about the ball being its own physics object is laughable. Isn't it supposed to be? If it sticks and teleports into players' hands, then that gets complained about.

The mute DeMarcus Cousins is completely ridiculous though, and a valid point of contention. Who thought that was a good idea? A generic voice would have been better than that.

I seriously busted up laughing. At the very least, they should have the players' mouths move. Angry Cousins was communicating telepathically. LOL.

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

Lol @ you thinking because they're IGN their score holds any more weight than anyone else's...they didn't go to reviewer school and earn a degree....they play videogames and have an opinion like everyone else...

Your too focused on outing some kind of bias in this thread to realize that hardly anyone. one is disagreeing with his flaws...

didn't say that did I? All I see is ppl whining that the game didn't get a better score then the current gen title. Even though core game play is still the same with same issues as current gen, and the game was suppose to be built from the ground up. I bet this game still has tendency and all the same issues as current gen. Just look at the GM mode and look at the roster section in the video. Why is Shannon Brown a -8 is he pissed off because he isn't a 6th man or starter? he sure isn't hurt because it doesn't say he is.

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

Honestly how much more different could it have been. We got better graphics, better movement, more in depth modes, I mean it sounds incredible to me.

I can't speak for everyone, but for me I expected to be a video game but more natural realistic movements. I expected along those lines. Similar to NBA LIVE 14's tech demo at e3, but that being integrated in 5 on 5 settings. 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.

hmmm CG has more cameramen than NG....

IGN usually posts some of those gameplay footage later on....

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

Watching that video did bring up a glaring issue for me:



I have no idea what team to pick for MyGM mode. Thinking of Pacers, Blazers, Pelicans, Bulls, Kings, Nuggets, Warriors...oh lawd have mercy!

That's one thing I was hoping was from an early build or something.

But looks like they won't be present.

Makes me wonder if they were left out intentionally or if it was a matter of not having time to get proper/different animations for falling out of bounds.

Then again, I know nothing about that stuff, haha.

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

I'm not sure how people can complain about animation in this, or any recent NBA 2K game really. They're on the forefront of animation when compared to other sports games, namely anything by EA.

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.

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

I wish this was still a thing....



The hardware has finally caught up to Carlos Boozer's hair game. We can get this in all it's glory now. I don't want to be robbed of this dammit.

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

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?!

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

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.

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.

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.
