    I kept mine on PC because i always liked how it played along with mods of course.

    That said it was the work of years of refinement so that certainly wasn't a 1 or 2 year project.
    People complained about that game because they didn't think that 2 years later, on a brand new $400 console, it would get worse. But it did.

      One thing though, that always keeps me coming back to 2k16, that is just so freaking good, is the ball and rim physics. 2k16 definitely captured the bounciness of the rim, and the feeling of rolling one into the cup very satisfying.

I can understand having "more fun" or w/e on 2k14 as i played it a great deal myself but saying it's more realistic? Come on now. As people mentioned everyone complained about it few years back and for a good reason.
        It's not even close as an entire package. The AI play is unbearable with how far we've come...

        But there are definitely things you see and say: "we need to get back to that"

        I've been playing it since I bought PSNow for a couple months- wish I could capture video on PS4 to point some things out...

          Wow, that is uncalled for. The game flawed. Player collisions with the ball make the game almost unplayable. You have to play the glitches in order to play well. That's not basketball.

          My guy crosses over and bounce the ball off the shin of the defender.

            Nothing wrong with player collisions with the ball tbh. It's one of the things they got right. Do a between the leg cross if the defender is to close. Otherwise cross a bit further and learn how to protect the ball. This is one of those things that actually penalise turboers and careless players.

              Uncalled for? Its not like I just personally insulted your mother.

              But like ther other poster said, ball collision mechanics are well done overall. Sorry you can't sprint into a defender and do a cross with the ball clipping through the defender. The game may have flaws, but this isn't one of them.

                sarcasm? i sometimes don't know if i should cry or laugh about the ball bouncing off and on the rim in the weirdest ways, just to fall in eventually.

                    2K14 was a great game. Definitely underappreciated.

                      IIRC a couple of BIG issues with 2k14 was the AI not taking any shots from mid-range and the AI always running the shot clock down without any movement and then hoisting up ridiculous fadeaways from just inside the 3. I don't see how any game pre-freelance offense and ACE can be looked at as better than what we have now. There is no way I could go back and play any 2k without the freelance offenses. That's like going back and playing a college football game from the 90's without spread offenses lol.

                        has to be. the rim physics are often down-right wonky.

                          2K14 last gen all day, everyday bro ! If it have current rosters i would still splash 50 € on that game and play it every day.

                            I have to agree with the OP, to get any semblance of CPU competitiveness, the game just becomes frustrating. The stark difference between open shot success human (and CPU teammates) vs CPU is enough to turn me off the game. The AI just can't keep up without the BS.

                            It's pretty clear the game is designed for online H vs H, and modes like MyCareer are designed for people to play on easy arcade style settings to churn out VC. The game isn't designed for the way I want to play it, and it's taken me this long to finally accept this.

                              EDIT: did 2k change anything gameplay wise in the game the past week or so? I feel like whenever I don't play the game for a few days in a row, the game always feels different when I come back
                              Seems like adjusting the sliders would be an easy fix for this problem.

                                I shared a lot of the same frustrations as you guys until i got the Simworld rosters and sliders and put it on HOF. Plays like a whole new game. Most realistic NBA experience I have ever had. If you are on Xbox one I can't recommend it enough. It is a must have IMO. I was a PS4 user and bought an Xbox just for the Simworld rosters.
