NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

Re: NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

i do realize that for us players this is completely worthless, its really a small feature just for the euro players.

I'm from Europe...and won't care about Euroleague teams at all if 2k completely ignores the way Euro teams play as opposed to the NBA style. Euro ball is all about fundamentals and ball movement, which are things 2k ignored with 2k13 in favor of flashy animations and a Jay-Z name tag. So if they start to care about basketball fundamentals, Euro teams are cool. If 2k14 on the other hand turns out to be another HD version of NBA Jam, it's pretty pointless to include (compared to NBA standards) unathletic Euroleague teams, except as a marketing gimmick.

What's next?

"We've finally convinced 2K Insider to actually watch some basketball this year. Gonna be a great year!"

HAH!

"We also told 2k Insider that there were other teams to update other than the Knicks and Lakers."

Re: NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

im from israel and a big fan of macabi (euro team that will be on 2k14), and even just for quick game this is huge for me, something i was hoping for a long time. im sure there are many euro fans which feel the same way.

i do realize that for us players this is completely worthless, its really a small feature just for the euro players.

Yeah, Maccabi is my favorite Euroleague team, so I'm excited for these teams in 2K14.

Does 2K know how the Football Manager guys get all those ratings for thousands of players across the world? They speak to scouts from across the world. How hard is it then, for 2K to speak to scouts from one country?

The thing is, Sega's main selling point is realism and attention to lots of small details. No flashy graphics, no shoe editor, no Cristiano Ronaldo picking the soundtrack...an accurate representation of real life football is what the game is all about. If their rosters were as p*ss poor as 2ks, no one would even bother looking at FM.

And it's not even like 2k needs a few hundred scouts on their payroll to get rosters right. I mean is it really that hard? So someone came up with a new special skill called "Anti Freeze". It makes a player more consistent, less likely to go on a cold streak.
Nice, now the question is...who should get that skill. And 2k roster guy thinks of..***dy Gay! Makes sense. Dude has been shooting 40% from the field and 32% from 3 last year. Now this guy, in the "insider's" mind, is not only a consistent player, but deserves a special super skill for rarely going on a cold streak...

What should the "insider" even do with advanced stats and extensive scouting reports? He doesn't know sh*t about the most basic things, you know, stuff like "player xy is good at passing". Maybe he doesn't even know all the players in the league, wouldn't surprise me at all.

Hey, at least rudy gay "consistently" shoots 40% from the feild.

LOL, unfortunately as laughable as this is it is true. I have no idea how the 2k 'insider' still even has a job. I could of done a better job when I was 12.

Yeah, Maccabi is my favorite Euroleague team,

What is the point of this. I thought if you were not good enough you might play in Euro League to get your game up. Exhibition/Online...What is the point. Cmon 2K I expect this from EA, not you guys.

That's not at all how it is. That's what the D League is for. The Euroleague is a professional league and has no affiliation with the NBA.

Re: NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

It's not implemented in My Player and Association? Well that was a fucking stupid idea :/

Celtic fan dropping F bombs, seems inappropriate to me guys.

On this feature, seems pretty useless to me. I may play one exhibition against one of these teams, humiliate their no-name players with the Lakers and call it a day.

Think of it this way; since they are in the game this year they are already in place and are easier to implement in Association Mode and My Player next year.

Re: NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

I hate to call this feature useless or a waste, but for right now it is hopefully they keep it in the game for more then a year and include it in there other game modes. But as of now I wouldve been more excited about WNBA teams being in the game at least I know a few of those players lol.
