NBA 2K14 Trailer - Euroleague Basketball

Re: NBA 2K14 EuroLeague Trailer

All the head above the rim dunks are horrible looking, and the fact that this is just a play now feature made this Euroleague stuff a waste for me. Wish they put these teams in the association and mycareer modes.

Re: NBA 2K14 EuroLeague Trailer

it is clear that the first alley oop when i watch it again, can be done by :

- Vince Carter when he was young
- Griffin
- and other good dunker man

but not in europe!! or maybe just one time in 10 years!!

for the 3 pt lign i'm sure it is a euro distance. I hope!!

NBA 2K14 EuroLeague Trailer

We have been at this for over 10+ years now, it's time to stop expecting chest passes and 2-3 zones in our basketball trailers...

It's not going to happen.

That said, I have 0 interest in Euroleague basketball, but I do wonder if they'll have terrible ratings like the international teams in NBA Live...

For fans of European basketball, I could probably better understand their displeasure with the dunks in this trailer. At least in NBA flash trailers, we know a lot of the jams featured are being completed by Blake Griffin, Shawn Kemp, Paul George, LeBron James - guys who can feasibly pull that stuff off. I don't know a ton about EuroLeague, but from what others have said (alongside my own inclinations), a lot of the dunks seem to be a little much coming from some of those guys.

October 4th? I thought it released the 1st?

I'm guessing that was a European release date.

Not feeling this, 2k euro style, feel like they fishing with this. I don't think we want this but promotion of the game says it's time for the euro ballers to be in the game now.

Yeah? Ain't that way better than Jay-Z though?

LoL no I could do without either. I like jay z music but he didn't need to have as much influence as he did and nothing against euro basketball but that's not where it's at. Premier basketball is still over here. Just another wasted thing put into the game.

I feel as though the inclusion of a legit D-League would have made better sense for an NBA video game franchise.

It's not that there are no dunkers in the euro game.Some guys have quite a bit of athleticism and strength,but not at the superhuman level of the nba guys.The problem is that because of the court dimensions and the constant use of zone in the euro game, you don't get to see a ton of highlight moments or fast breaks.It's mostly a game of strategy and skill.In fact sometimes euro basketball and nba basketball look like completely different sports.

I think that if the dunk packages are assigned wisely,no monster highlight slams or posterizers every other possesion etc, this mode can turn out pretty nice.

However if the euro rosters are put together casually ,it won't draw the european markets ,in the way 2ksports thinks it will.Even if my hometeam is featured, i'm not sure if i'm excited to play in a faux euro like gameplay.

At least ,if they included a season like mode,where the league system,playoff brackets and the final four would be represented semi-authentically,it would skyrocket the value of adding euroleague teams.

My apologies, my intent was not to say they weren't capable of dunking and whatnot. I was just trying to say the manner with which they were pulling certain dunks off seemed out of place for the reasons you mentioned (court dimensions, tight zone, etc.).

I think I'd actually see some merit to the Euro teams is there was something real and substantial behind them (authentic Euro play, crowds, arenas, atmosphere, tourney) but if it's just normal quick games with Euro skin versions of the basketball, jersey, and courts, it feels a little generic.

Re: NBA 2K14 EuroLeague Trailer

It sounds way better to me but that's probably not ingame sounds anyway.

Swish and dunk sounds need a lot of work in 2K. We don't need that broken glass sound effect a la street fighter when a guy dunks the ball. Basketball is a very smooth and quiet game in terms of sounds.

Smooth might not be appropriate to describe it but I can't think of anything else.

I know what your saying. It isn't a smooth sound, but a more swift, to the point type of sound. Dunking the ball in 2k currently sounds like a lingering explosion.

If the players dunking in this trailer are comparable to say, Steve Nash dunking, I can understand that...just seems odd that 2k would do something like that if that's the case, as they've never done it with any of their other trailers...
