NBA 2K14 Video - New York Knicks vs. Los Angeles Lakers

I'm disappointed with the presentation as well but they did say this wasn't the final build of the game. Maybe they add all of that for the final build. That's my hope at the very least.

Gasol's pass to Nash at 3:27 in the 3rd quarter made me cringe. Passing might be too good this year (to the point where you don't turn it over), at least out of the box.

i haven't finished watching but with about :35 left in the 1st quarter i didn't like how 3-4 lakers players started walking over and got all bunched up (stuck walking into each other).

Welp I thought I was more of a gameplay guy then a graphics guy but I couldnt even get through the entire video due to that horrible blue color they have for the Knicks jerseys, I hope and pray that next gen they get the colors right for jerseys great graphics with off colored jerseys wont cut it.

2k has always had solid gameplay, but one thing I can't say about them is that they pay good attention to cosmetic details. Having the wrong colors for the same jerseys for years and years is beyond ridiculous.

Is it me or does it seem like the colors for both teams seem off, like they are to bright and need to be darkened a little bit, watching that video was an eyesore to me.

Yea its def off but for 2k its been a problem for years when it comes to getting jersey colors right it use to be mostly blues and reds that were off though.

Re: NBA 2K14 Video - New York Knicks vs. Los Angeles Lakers

i was like ahhhh... specially when felton did that self alley oop... please remove it from the game if you really want to consider yourself SIM 2k...


i could just say "oh they were not playing d or blah blha" but nah i dont like it... in previous 2k you did not hit that many 3s when someone was close unless you had a good shooter... so Wesley Johnson and Farmar shooting 3s nah i aint buying it.


Will get it for PC cheaper and try to customize it... if is any good and i can actually play D or if a patch is dropped might get it for current gen or just wait for the next gen that will be around the corner

Farmer and Wes Johnson were either open and or the defenders gave them you much time to shoot . It happens in real life all the time , you think you closed in on a player he still makes it . And Farm was shooting 44% from the 3 point shooter in his last run in the NBA . Wes Johnson was a good shooter in College , NBA he was ok but he made his shot wide open .

I wanna say this as well. It doesn't neccessarily pertain to this video but i gotta know how the cpu is gonna play. One main reason for me not pre ordering is because, I play against the cpu most of the time. Sometimes i get irritated because the cpu gets perks that i don't get as a player. For example, picking off passes the are being made behind them, coming way out of position to get an offensive rebound, making jumpshots with a hand in there face. Plus there are some games that its almost predetermined im going to lose. This happens alot on mycareer, but it happens in regular matches as well, just way less often. Things like my team won't cut, won't try to get open, won't try to get in position for rebounds, ect. And the cpu will drain contested shots, get putbacks even when waaaay out of position for it, or get steals that i would of had a foul called on me for. With the more fluid animations in this game, i can see less of that type of stuff happening, but its still a concern of mine till proven otherwise.

Shouldn't the foul at 5:19 be a shooting foul?

Re: NBA 2K14 Video - New York Knicks vs. Los Angeles Lakers

If the gameplay is solid then all my hopes are there being a reditor for 2k14 so somebody can fix the jersey colors and I'm good to go . It's really not that big of deal with the amount of roster editors today . Only might bother you if you're online

Not all those shots were wide open though. some were long 3's with a defender in front of them, and though the defender didn't contest they still shouldn't have drained them like that. Players in the nba don't shoot 3s like that with a defender standing right in front of them, contested or not. Thats my problem with those 3's. The other half of the 3's they took were fine.

Players shoot like that all the time lol it's a mixture of luck and skill .

Only guys like kobe lebron and melo rise up and shoot over players. wes johnson and raymond felton don't.

Good thing is, all these 3 point complaints are easily adjustable by sliders.

I said it before, if EVERY contested jumper/layup/post move in REAL NBA basketball was a miss (as people apparently think it is), then teams would average 60/70 ppg.

Nate Robinson, Lou Williams, JR Smith, Nick Young, Kobe, Melo, Jason Terry...look at their shot selection and see how many contested jumpers they attempt and make.

And plus they were playing on 5 minute quarters, most of the time you're gonna see +50% shooting when playing on low minute quarters.

Just closing out on an NBA player isn't enough, that's why they play pro ball lol. You gotta have more than just a hand at their chest, it's gotta be up there at the release and even then players will still make shots.

As far as presentation/graphics goes: 2K13 was the last current gen only game, this game whether 2K admits it or not, is taking the backseat to next-gen. And it's not a secret, there really is only so much space they have to work with. They maxed out memory, they even said it. So do you want new presentation and better graphics on current gen, or better gameplay? Honestly you want gameplay, and that's what you're gonna get. Next-gen will have better gameplay, graphics, replays, menus, etc...that's the whole package.

Defense looks really good, neither user particularly played tough d though, and that's why players got open shots. So you can't complain about the game on that one. And the blocks looked good too, not just big men getting blocks, but also guards knocking away shots from behind or the side.

Offensively, it looks tougher to get into the paint...but to me it was less because of the d and more because of offensive spacing...but in a good way. In 2K13, it seemed like the spacing was so bad half the time it was just an iso, so if you got to the rim you were good. But now, your PF is at the top of the key and your C is down low with the wings up top, like it should be. So as a PG you look to get your team a better shot, not just iso to the rim.

Only thing I didn't like was Shumpert going for a windmill, it wasn't contested but I don't think players other than 02 Vince Carter windmilled in a half court setting lol. Not a big deal, especially since it was a kind of bad dunk and got blocked from behind.
