NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

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

IGN reviews suck, not the score, the score is fine, simply because of lack of bball knowledge

8.9 is a pretty damn good score, these game reviews dont really go into my consideration whether or not i will buy the game unless of course it's extremely bad like a 5 or below/10 or something. Honestly, all i saw is a more organic bball game that has graphics that blow me away from a CG game I already love. If I wanna buy a brand new game I never heard of I'll watch a couple of gameplay vids and watch out for extremely low scores from game reviewers

8.9 means a great game, his reasons for giving it, you cant really take seriously because you know most of these reviewers dont know much about Bball, or other sports for that matter

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

The crowd doesn't groan when the opposing team makes a key basket(a dagger or a momentum killing shot) It doesn't seem as fluid and realistic. The crowd still needs to react to game and game situations more better than how they do now. It seems artificial along with the hoop we mentioned already. Again, I mention this before, I got shot down with fans of the series saying this is the best sports sounding game and that I was crazy lol. Ok, guy. Ok.

Also breakaway rim physics need to be added. How many players have been shown doing ferocious dunks and the rim doesn't move at all? or when timmy was hanging from the rim? come on man, this is next gen lol

Lol that you gathered all of that from a 5 minute review.

Give me a break.

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

I'm also annoyed that practically every made shot gets the "swish" noise.

Other than that, the game looks ridiculously amazing. The lighting, colors, faces - just wow. Also, as someone who has been craving a true association/dynasty/franchise mode - MyGM is a godsend. Can't wait to go through my usual process of narrowing down teams to start that mode with.

That's definitely not true and that's going to be apart of what I have to say because it affects jumpers too.

I just don't see the point in bagging 2k14 then talking about 2k15 already when this next gen version is not out even yet ..well it is but we haven't played it

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

and it's YOUR opinion (and this opinion is in the minority) that 2k has not delivered...despite it's flaws CG is a great experience,..and NG looks to build upon that...

It's weird, but this review kind of makes me excited for 2k15...I think it will truly be this consoles "2k7"

It is my opinion. I'm talking about in terms of next gen. People expected more coming out of the OMG trailer. Nt a similar experience, for better or for worse.

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

Does this guy ever say anything positive about 2k? if i bashed them as much as you do i would be

To be fair, I feel as though I attempt to provide substance to any critical comments I feel moved to make. If I do not care for something, I attempt to explain why in a level-headed and concise manner.

As for whether I ever say anything positive about NBA 2K, I believe I've spent most of my time at OperationSports doing so, spanning from NBA 2K2 to NBA 2K12 (with the exception of ESPN NBA Basketball 2004). I liked NBA 2K13 but felt a series shift beginning to take place in many regards (VC, sliding a little bit further away from reality in MyPlayer, etc.). That shift has continued to take place with NBA 2K14 and I've found myself somewhat displeased with 2K's overall direction for the first time since 2004.

That said, I remain very interested in 2K's product due to my long-standing commitment. As such, I opt to spend some free time discussing the directions I wish for 2K to aim. I feel it'd only be fair for me to laud 2K as I did for so many years when they provide the product I'm looking for, but then also to provide honest feedback when I feel they're steering away in certain regards from making the NBA replication product I desire.

Cliffs: When I like something, I share those sentiments. When I do not like something, I share those sentiments.

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

I feel as though there has been a lapse in communication here. I made note of the rim noise issues, but I do not recall attempting to state that problem was reason enough to pass on the game in question.

My opinion on the matter was the game appeared a little too similar to the current generation product. I was waiting to see next 2K14 so I could discover whether the changes were significant enough to warrant a very hefty purchase from my end. At this point, I just do not feel I see enough to pull the trigger. Some posters are stating how they can't wait to purchase 2K. Others aren't as enthusiastic. I feel as though that's just the nature of threads on upcoming releases.

Makes me realize/understand why certain things weren't shown; namely gameplay.

Not necessarily a bad thing since we're moving into the next generation of consoles. But if we're in the same boat practically begging for 5-on-5 gameplay next year, with no in-depth Dev Insights, it'll be pretty disappointing.

Not here to nitpick, but both the "nitpickers" and "yes men" have good points.

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

I have to agree here

I mean he gave us the patrick speech (spongebob) The "look at it, look at it!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwKFec9th0U starts at 1:30 if you wanna see what I mean lol.

Anyway, he said its a no brainer to get, I dont agree with him about the ball physics but I see where he is coming from (basically KD got ripped in a crowd of defenders which is very likely)

Lmao good ol' Patrick

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

Broadcast cam looked gorgeous! Player models, sick! The crowd looked way better than I anticipated too....didn't spot the dupes like 1st trailer. The player emotion and independent reactions add so much. Can't rejoice over that enough. Can't wait. Few minor aesthetic issues (no player warmups, baselines vacant of people (photographers, camera men, etc.), but hopefully that is added along with crowd and game audio next year!

And "if" this game has crazy customization options for classic teams, create a player, draft classes, etc....got fingers crossed! Man, could be a slice of pure heaven. Looks to be great regardless! I'm very pumped.

My only question....where was footage like this a month ago?
