NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

[Steve_OS]

Recently, 2K Sports announced an exclusive multi-year global partnership with 14 of the top teams from the Turkish Airlines Euroleague. Those teams will be featured in NBA 2K14.

A lot of questions were asked throughout the community and we tried to get them answered during a Q&A session with 2K Sports. While the answers aren't clear on some of the questions, there are some that can put a few theories to rest.

Will we be able to EDIT the Euroleague Teams, as far as Tendencies and Attributes go? I think that is what alot of people would like to know.

All I want to see is classic teams on next gen!

Couldn't care less about this. Bring back a more robust version of the classic teams. Not having Dr. J and Kareem this year sucked balls.

Then you're in the wrong thread

Sounds interesting but it's sucks it's been confirmed that this won't be integrated into MyCareer or Association.

Did this QA irritate anyone else? It really seemed like a lot of question dodging and/or providing generic, vague answers. Some examples, the question about the shoes, the question about removing any classic teams, and the question about atmosphere.

This QA provided little information other than what we can see in the screenshots.

Agreed... seems similar to the "celebrity" team last year.

I really wish the d-league and summer league make a return. I love playing with non-superstar players and getting a feel for a rookie's game.

8 of the questions were answered with pretty straight-forward response. One was a bit vague and one he blatantly didn't want to talk about at this time.

Thought it was pretty informative. If you thought it was vague it might be because you are thinking you have to read things into everything 2K says.

He did seem to dodge some of the questions a little bit. To me he didn't seem to answer all the questions in there entirety. I wouldn't exactly say he was straight forward with all his answers, but he wasn't just leaving us completely clueless either on what he meant with most of his answers.

Re: NBA 2K14 Euroleague Q&A

My favorite part of the article:

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.

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.

Also, I know this is hopelessly optimistic, but my hope would be that "stick with us for future news around classic players" means there could be some more concerted effort to involving them in 2K (as opposed to just pasting from one edition to the next).

8 of the questions were answered with pretty straight-forward response. One was a bit vague and one he blatantly didn't want to talk about at this time.

Not that it's a big deal, but it did kind of feel as though a lot of things were glazed over. Where a multi-tiered question was asked, often a singular and limiting answer was provided (ex: Q: Will the rosters be full? If not, can they be added before release? A: There will be 10 players per team). It's a clear answer, but maybe not a full one.

That said, I think we can all understand why this is done on certain answers. One, if the answer could be perceived as negative, avoiding a certain question is better than addressing it at this early point. And second, a few of the questions seemed to touch on areas that traditionally are held tight to the chest until specific info release weeks (Classics, shoes, Summer League).

I'm not sure I understand.
I respect if they say "we aren't ready to talk about that at this point." We are months away from release. However, when they agree to a Q&A regarding a recent feature announcement I would prefer if they didn't dodge questions or make them so generic to the point of being useless. Heck, hold off on the Q&A for a month until the answers can be more fully fleshed out.

Geez it's not a big deal if someone makes a slightly off topic comment.

This should be a nice change of pace, glad to see 2K going forward as EA stagnates.
