    where do you see me bashing EA?

    EA has the espn license, and as long as they continue the live series they probably will, 2k CANT get ESPN

      it would DRASTICALLY improve presentation, sure it would take time to get voice overs done from all these guys but it would be one of the greatest things done in sports gaming history imo
      Just get Bob Fitzgerald and Jim Barnett of the Warriors. They're local to 2K and Barnett is retiring this year so may be available. They can also get Tom Tolbert if he takes of Barnett's job.

        2k has done an excellent job with presentations.

        I'd just like to see more stat overlays, during free throws etc. Id like like to see a player's stat line during free throws.

        Id also like the commentary to idle down a bit at times. A broadcast team doesn't have to continuously talk.

          especially now that you can no longer get stat overlay with the d-pad

            I was floored by the presentation at first, but after a month solid, it IS getting repetitive. Not a big deal, though. The only thing that still bugs me from a presentation perspective is the menus. I got used to 'em, sure, but they look so bad.

The game's always going to pale in comparison to real life, and that's pretty much what the author seemed to be comparing the game to in terms of expectations. As far as 2K needing to "revamp" their presentation all together, if the next gen experience is any indicator this forum has shown precious little patience in 2K revamping anything. When 2K tried to integrate Clark Kellogg into the game it took a few years before they got rid of the fluctuations in tone and the commentary flowed seamlessly.

              When Kerr was integrated it went more smoothly, but it shouldn't be assumed any revamp would occur without issues. As it is now it sounds like all of the guys are in the same room commenting on the action occurring on the court, which imo is pretty remarkable not only from a front-facing presentation standpoint but also from a technological standpoint. Even the integration of the halftime commentary is really well done imo, in the way he comments on what's occurred in the first half and also comments on games either in progress or that have finished. AND it's integrated into NBA Today games, where you get updates during each half.

              I haven't seen the Real Voice stuff they added with next gen but with that implementation 2K's shown they aren't resting on their laurels. Hell, a few years ago 2K went the extra mile (I'd say several miles) and added era-specific presentation which was well done - and has been largely forgotten/ignored by this board.

              And they're the ones being singled out for presentation having grown stale? I get wanting to see improvement, which we all do. But singling them out as having stale presentation feels a bit like saying I'm tired of my team winning the Super Bowl every year

              imo
              Yes to Everything Spank just said.

              If you want to talk about presentation, talk about The Show needing presentation, 2K has hands down the best sports presentation, but this just seems like piling on at this point.

              It's like mentioning something negative about a game that's already having a tough time to get forum responses or Internet hits.

                Re: NBA 2K14: It's Time to Revamp Presentation

                Warms up for classic players
                Classic paint before 1998 and classic 3pt line for 95 to 97 season
                Glasses of horace grant not blue with the bulls please!!
                No glasses for 94 dream olajuwon
                Glasses for worthy
                Better free throw sig for ron harper, malone, kemp
                Better hair style for scott williams.

                Nba 2k11 is the only game that represents the classic nba.
                2k12 there was just the legend mode which made me dream so i couldn't dream if i played in the united center 96 vs the magic, or the final 95. Furthermore grant glasses was white ... Terrible.
                I'm still thinking that the size court is too much small.
                Music arena and crowd are not sim. Big big improvment to do for this.

                I watched a video on youtube of Jordan after he made a jumpshot and he was happy and reacted like a current player. It was really missing his representation.
                Sometimes he makes a lay up like tony parker, and after he loose his balance as he will fall, it is not good.

                  Not a huge deal, but this might be the single most random thing about NBA 2K14. 2K by and large ignored anything and everything regarding their classic teams (besides the fact of them existing), yet they seemed to go out of their way to give the 1994 Hakeem Olajuwon a defining accessory he only wore briefly three years earlier? How in the world did that come about?

                  It had to have played out something like this at 2K headquarters, right?:

                  "Okay, so classic teams, everything status quo? Just carry them over as-is from the current generation product?"

                  "Yes, that is correct."

                  "Alright, I'm on it."

                  "Wait... maybe give 1994 Hakeem Olajuwon a pair of goggles."

                  "But sir, that doesn't even make sens..."

                  "JUST DO IT!"

                    agreed. i'd rather have this than showing some random overlay of best all time shot blockers that has nothing to do with the game.

                        2k's presentation is incredible! The fact that you are spoiled by constantly experiencing new images and video and entertainment all over the internet shouldn't mask you from having realistic expectations in quality. But apparently it does.

                        You asking for 2k to step up it's game is selfish and wrong. I can understand you not wanting to see a Madden scenario of the same game being thrown out there w/ a couple new features every year but 2k jumped ahead so far in presentation and overall gameplay a couple years ago that i think if anyone deserves a pass it's them.

                        The Show and 2k are fantastic games and i will not critique them when every other studio and sporting franchise is so flawed.
                        Don't be a 2k fanboy, he's right, it can use some improvement, isit better than madden and most other sports titles? Of course, doesn't mean it don't need more work.

                          I just don't understand why they have to stop the game to show league leaders (and c'mon every game? Who cares) It's just not very realistic. I honestly don't know if I've ever seen in a live broadcast that they show the league leaders in every major category, yet in 2K, you see it EVERY SINGLE GAME. And it just slows the game down. The commentary is also very, VERY boring. I just don't feel immersed in the game like I do with other games, like The Show for instance.

                            Anyone claiming NBA 2k needs a revamp on the presentation front, needs to share whatever it is they're smoking. NBA2k's presentation is the gold standard.

                              I just want them (NBA 2K) to get online servers correct, not tied to heavy VC grinding, with standard modes we have become accustomed to, and online/offline leagues and editing back in place, BEFORE graphic or presentation overhauls.

                              The great presentation they have given us over the years is just icing on the cake at this point, and detracts from bigger issues with the game. Presentation commentary, stat layers, etc. and can be added in, like EA has been doing with their "subpar", but fun entry into NBA gaming, but smooth online should be a standard in 2014 from a game that's been online 15yrs.

                              They should not be let off the hook on the numerous next gen shortcomings, and the OP has chosen the wrong topic for "improvements" IMO.

                              To retort a previous statement, The Show's stat layer presentations actually update game by game, play by play. (2K does it after after game 10, and before that continually shows last year's stat lines, and talks about what players did last year IRL in MYGM/Season modes all too often.

                              IMO, The show becomes repetitive after 80+ games with the same team, 2K14 after about 20.

                                I agree with this. Sure both games can improve but NBA 2k has the best commentary of any sports game by far. They even stepped up the animations for 14. Collision detection can be improved but it is after all just a video game.
