Re: 2K14 (Current) Playable - 8/28 - Vegas

Props to Van & JW, OS is well represented then.

So, JW, can you please ask:

- How would the new adaptive defensive AI allow to experience the distinct feel of facing a strong defensive team (Bulls) vs a weak one (Kings) ? I mean, would we see bad D teams struggle to double hot players, come back late on rotations, etc, as opposed to good ones or would both equally manage to do the propper correctives to counter the offense ?

- Would having blue ray discs only, as well as having next gen consoles allow to greatly add more content, such as tendencies, ratings, animations, hotspots, settings, sliders, features and modes ? If so, please some examples of that.

- Would we finally be able to edit important yet hidden/locked variables such as: coaches grades (offense, defense, etc); players motivations and goals (money, loyal, etc); team stances (buyer, seller, etc); values of picks for trading purposses; staff contracts ?

- Any improvements to the create a feature (be it payer or teams, maybe the addition of create a staff) ? If so, please some examples.

- Any improvements to association, both online and offline ? If so, please some exampes.

- Any improvements to the sim engine ? If so, please some details.

- Would we be able to finally have all offline roster editing capabilities for online ?

- Would we be able to enjoy of an upgraded web site, more inline with the past one ?

- What recurrent bugs/glitches/omissions were corrected from past versions ?


If some of my questions are too vague or out of order, please diregard.

Anyways, am already excited by the prospect of reading/watching/hearing both of you guys feedback about what you will see.

I just want to say rest assured me and JW will test everything we can! We are gonna hook up and hopefully catch some videos to post with some sim ball for everyone to watch. Great thread! Keep suggestions coming. I definitely want to try the post game out. I just hope JW isn't embarrassed with the videos on OS of him getting routed consistently! Lol

How strong are the forcefields at the baseline and the sideline?

In other words, how easy is it to go out of bounds?

You guys have a Great time. Most of the things I WANT to know wont be in the Demo(Association, DLeague, 2k Share, etc), but I look forward to hearing the impressions you guys have. Interested to see what teams are available for Demo. If the Heat are one of the teams, i would ASK that you guys play against them in a User vs CPU matchup.

Update: Ask LD2K about an EXPANDED USER Manual.

How easy will it to be able to take guys off the dribble? I noticed that it seems the cpu(especially on higher difficulties) no matter who is guarding you will play very good defense on you no matter if its tony allen, or steve nash. Just sayin, it should be easier to beat guys off the bounce depending on who is guarding you, as well as depending on who the offensive player is as well. I hope we don't see things like tony parker struggling to blow past chalmers, or something like that.

I think I and many are confused about this - Are you going to be able to talk to the devs, or will you just be able to get gameplay?

At this type of event, there are 2K representants that conduct the activity and promote the game, the later can be in the form of giving interviews or answering the audience questions.

These representants are either executives (people of a standard that are closely related to the game and its development) or devs, so in any case, the chances are that they can at least have few of the Qs answered ... then again, not necessarily as indepth as we may have look for.

While I am a little excited about having some answers, I am more excited about getting JW & Vanns feedback of what they played and saw.

P.S.
Some other Q´s:
- How old is the build showed ?
- What difficulty ? sim, regular or casual ?
- When can we finally expect a next gen showing ?
- Can we choose whom to doubleteam with, ala 2k12 ?
- When can we expect some of the new distinct team defensive schemes that the competition claims to be able to offer ?

1. Try to pass fake while moving to see if they have fluid moving pass fake animations that can transition into layups.

2.See the furthest distance the dunk and layup gather steps ex. Use dunk button with lebron from near top of the key to see how long and realistic his gather steps are.

Re: 2K14 (Current) Playable - 8/28 - Vegas

LOL. Its good to see we have people that can actually obtain valuable info that know what they are talking bout.

Also, why you and Van ben MIA?

Biggest gripe with 2K13:

ZONE DEFENSE

is the 1-3-1 zone still in the game? if so, is zone defense better representative with its weakness and forces the user to play man to man?

Re: 2K14 (Current) Playable - 8/28 - Vegas

Can you guys ask if real time injuries happen again? That was gone in 2k13....

Re: 2K14 (Current) Playable - 8/28 - Vegas

Hope you guys had a nice trip.

Yeah, I've been wondering what happened to real-time injuries too. They need to bring them back while giving it better balance, so we don't wind up with 4 or 5 players with strained backs (after falling from a shot being contested).

I loved it in 2K11 that guys would crash into the stanchion and sprain their shoulder. Too cool, man.

Re: 2K14 (Current) Playable - 8/28 - Vegas

I have one more....when you guys try out the new controls see if you can still pull off moves with just the L-stick. I feel that this conflicted with R-stick dribbling and it caused some unwanted moves.

I just redownloaded NBA Elite on PS3 and the L-stick was just to move the player around and nothing more...if you wanted to use the other hand to dibble that's where the R-stick comes in. Both sticks for 2k should be different entities when it comes to control.

Before anyone asks you can redownload anything on PS3...just go to your history d/l.
