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

Y'know, I'm not knocking IGN on giving next gen an 8.9, because that's still a great score, but I wouldn't base my purchase over an IGN/Gamespot/GameTrailers, etc review. I just don't think the majority of those reviewers are very accurate when it comes to reviewing sports games. That's just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure that same guy that did this review also did the IGN rewind for the trailer 2K put out a month ago, and I forgot exactly what he said, but he made a blatant mistake that proved he didn't know much about basketball.

With that said, Friday can't come soon enough.

So An Improved, Deeper Game Goes From 9.3 to 8.9?

I know there is a thread for the IGN review but this is completely ridiculous.

2K14 on the PS4 is admittedly (by IGN) improved upon in every way from current gen and they review it 0.4 below the original score?

WTF

This is why IGN is completely unsuited to review anything sports-related.

IGN is full of fan boys that literally don't know anything

After the COD review i really do not go into what they say more so just hear reactions from fans

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

I was just going to make a post about this. What, in the world, has been going on with their dunking sound effects? I've always wondered where those sounds were initially captured and how members of the audio team felt about them. Did they feel they nailed it? Or were they just settling? It's most definitely a small thing that can add up to a big thing for me.

It's becoming more and more likely with each passing day that I'll be passing on the next gen title release, but I think I'm more interested in what 2K15 will look like next gen than 2K14. I'm wondering if the further shift in focus (from current to next gen) will lead to a lot of those long-standing small, annoying missed details being fixed up a little (like the aforementioned rim sounds, less glitchy spasms, etc.). Right now, it still seems to look a little too similar to the next gen experience to get me really, really excited.

Don't you think passing on a great game because of rim sounds is a little much?

different reviewer? Hell current gen didn't even deserve that high of a score anyways.

It's IGN. When it comes to sports games they're barely better than gamespot.

The reviewer really didn't touch on anything we didn't already know

Thought it was a fair review.

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

F epic

Bogut, Garnett Rose and pretty much all the players model are updated to what we seen with the gameplay vids

Upper Body looks perfect now, wow or at least much better from that brooklyn gameplay video

Man, I just wanna see if I plays that involve backdoor cuts etc... will now be more organic due to better collission/footplanting/momentum, it's ok in CG

As for MyCareer being cheesy, it should still be a fun mode. MyGM all i needed to know is i can play the games myself

:thumbs up 2k

I actually thought it was a fair and honest review....at the very least the guys a fan of basketball/ basketball video games...

At least it's not Gamespot, where the guy is saying "I admittedly don't know much about hoops" during the review...

Re: So An Improved, Deeper Game Goes From 9.3 to 8.9?

These mainstream review sites like IGN/Gamespot/GameTrailers, etc are NOT reliable when it comes to review scores for sports games.

Agreed . I don't see the problem with the review.

Well, modes were taken out and it's the first 2K title on NG, they can't really give it much higher. 8.9 is still "great", according to IGN.

Also, this is IGN, I'd look out for Metacritic's score instead after release. Or better yet, form your own opinion.

To be fair, CG's 9.3 rating was a bit high to begin with.

I'd give the games, based on IGN and my own opinions;
CG: 8.9
NG: 9.1

It sounds like the garbage truck when its compressing garbage. I've always hated it and surprised its never been fixed. I also hated the artificial crowd noise, especially the one whistling fan in the crowd all the time. NBA crowds don't have that whistling. its not a concert or a hot chick performing, its a game

VD I think it might be enough there to get you excited, and lets also see what they can fix via patch as well but anyway.

Like I said, its time to start a huge thread on the sound because its not matching up with the visuals and gameplay in crucial areas like that. I know LeBron is strong but my lord, the entire backboard rim and everything shakes together and the sound just what makes it seem like a weird experience.


Anyway, where are the gifs, there were some masterful moves in there

Kobe
Paul George
LeBron
and more
