NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

[schnaidt1]

the fact that euroleage is not going to be in association makes the entire implementation worthless. association mode has been left untouched since 2k11 and is growing stale and needs a massive overhaul and adding in the euro league could have done that. im very disappointed.

Re: NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

One more thought: a little bit of a bummer the Euroleague teams appear to be limited to head-to-head quick games at this point.

Also, though the answers weren't super thorough, I must say I do kind of appreciate their relatively subtle approach to the Euro revelation. It's a nice change of pace to steer away from what'd once become the standard hype mountain. This inclusion could have clearly been precluded by a sea of punny Tweets like, "Biggest 2K news in the world coming tomorrow. Retweet this 500,000 times or Eur only going to get a piece of the whole pie. You're going to be fiending foreignformation."

Re: NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

My favorite part of the article:I know it was said a few days earlier that classics would be returning. But I kind of thought it left the door open for some classics to be removed. It's nice to know that won't be the case. Big move for me.

Dont have the same positivism or dont quite understood the same as you tho ...

Q: With the addition of Euroleague, did any other teams have to be removed? We would hate to see Classic/Legend teams get removed. From what we understand, classic players were contracted from NBA 2K11 through NBA 2K13, has that been extended?

A: You’ll have to stick with us for future news around classic players, but we did not remove any teams as a direct effort to shoehorn Euroleague into NBA 2K14.

As I saw it, the only thing clear is that inclussion of euro teams didnt cause removal of classic teams ... but classic teams may have been removed due to other non direct reasons ... in sum, the answer left the door still wide open for a restrictive/watered down version of classics.

Seriously hope to be proven wrong, but one thing I have learned about 2k is that if they dont answer it straight (they could just said no classics team have been removed, check further for details about classics ...), they either remove it, limit it or didnt put any emphasis on it (and considering the alternative, I would of been ok with just having all back again).

Anyways, looking forward to read, hear and see more anout the game.

i was really really hoping that Maybe MyPlayer mode you would be able to go overseas after you retire or before rookie season or whenever, also was hoping that the EuroLeague would coincide with the NBA season so maybe some players would come over for the Draft/Free Agency etc etc......

Wanted to see this implemented into the franchise mode and my player mode, but having a few euro league teams to run with online is atleast a start to bring the international game to video game again.

That's what I thought too. Guessing some teams have been removed, but they wouldn't have been removed just for the sake of removing. There's plenty of space on blu-ray discs (next gen) to hold them. If they were removed then it's because the money wasn't worth it probably. There are a few teams I personally could do without (like the 85 bucks) but I would've rather seen they expanded the classic teams.
Although, I can't think of any new features they could be apart of.

honestly I can care less about any other teams that are only for quick play . who cares really !! I want them to stop wasting disc space on worthless **** and make the game of basketball even more amazing then it is . nice touch with the euro league but if it isn't implemented into assoc. or my player no one should care . 2k12 had so many classic teams and no1 played with them . there were like 10 Jordan bulls teams and a ton of missing players. just improve the create system . add a create a team , create a logo , create a stadium and no1 would care about any of this . they'll just create it them selves , and prolly better then you might

U don't care about the classic teams, but I do. Dude there are only 11 relevant teams in the league right now.

my whole purpose to play a game is to do more then just play a quick game . 2k11 and 12 did a great job adding modes to compliment these teams purpose for being in the game . 2k13 only just gave them to you for the sake of you guys just wanting them . I do enjoy the classics being there . but after a few games played I get bored . this is only IMO . please let me know y u enjoy the teams just sitting there with no purpose ?

Re: NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

I doubt ill ever touch these teams especially since they are only head to head

Re: NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

ok I am just gonna be honest here about the inclusion of the 14 euroleague teams ...

it really does nothing for me other than build more concerns about what kind of product I should be expecting from VC when the game of basketball itself is broken , especially on defense..to know dev time is spent in a direction that has no direct impact on NBA basketball ...

now if it was the D league I would be excited to the fullest that would surely carry more weight/ influence in my player and association

I just think that for the euroleague do like FIFA does it and creat two IPs like how they have world cup edition of FIFA and FIFA itself make an NBA game and a eurolrague/Olympic game
I say if your gonna do something do it all the way or not at all

I just hope VC isn't spread too thin to have a solid impact on NBA basketball. even more so when live is schedule to return to market this year

either way I have faith in VC and am trying to remain optimistic about it all but will just have to wait for more details and impressions to surface

am happy for everybody involved that finds this info exciting am glad u have something to look forward to but I will just to wait for mine if so may be the case

Re: NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

The fact that its only for head to head games means I will probably check it out once or twice and thats it. Had Euroleague been incorporated into my player or association it would have my attention,

The reason why I enjoy the classics cause I like to incorporate some of the classic teams into association, so I can be able to mix them with Today's NBA teams and replace a lot of mediocre NBA teams with classic teams.

Re: NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

It's really a bummer that they didn't implement this into any other modes other than Exhibition and Online. My hopes aren't as up as they used to be.

Re: NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

No implementation into other modes? So I guess another year of 2k, another year of no attention to association. Do they realise it is the mode with the most replayability and potential?
