Chris Smoove thoughts on NBA 2K14

Re: Chris Smoove trashes NBA 2K14

For me this game seems a quick fix on some 2k13 issues, that was probably abandoned 2-4 months ago by most of their team. Until we see next gen I'm holding on to 2k13.

I just feel that zones/blocking/euro3s should have been patched, for all I know the blocking code could be on 13 and not activating because of a last minute bug.

We need to ask more from 2k, do you know how many gameplay patches Bf and cod get? Myteam was bugged most of the year...

Go ask if someone will pay 60 for a guns patch....

13 is not a bad game, and is still enjoyable with beds roster, so I don't see this current gen being worth a new 60.

I do not work in the game industry but I`m thinking making patches to increase or decrease weapon effectiveness or damage are quite different than making patches to a.i., physics, or other specific gameplay elements in a sports game where tweaking one thing can severely affect all other parts of the game. Also most patches in bf3 are made to allow users to play on all those dlc maps or in essence compatibility patches. Also games like bf3 get 2 or 3 years to put their games thru the ringer with play testing as opposed to sports games that are looking at 8 or 9 months.

I like you would love if they could have just patched 2k13s issues but it was obvious that things such as paint contact and dunk defending werent issues that could easily be inputed. They are on record saying they had to completely write new code for that aspect of the game. To me the ability to truly affect outcomes on the defensive end is a mechanic that is sorely lacking in 2k13 and it`s addition in 2k14 could really change the dynamic of the game imo. People are welcome to express their opinions and that includes smoove who made some valid points but like others have said playing the game is the only way we can truly judge how different 2k13 is from 2k14 and I look forward to finding out for myself.

The point is that the headline is disingenuous and annoying and does not accurately represent Smoove or his video.

The discussion generated from the sensationalized headline ended up being less about the game and what Smoove noticed and more about what people thought Smoove said and didn't say because he was misrepresented.

Nether of those alternative sensationalized titles are accurate either. If you have to ask how misleading of a title you can get away with, you're probably doing it wrong. :P

Anyway, lame, cynical attempts on other websites to generate hits aren't how I'd pattern my posting habits on a site whose strength is the relationship and discussion between fans and "fam". I wouldn't want to be seen as a shill or marketer here or take lazy cues from them. That actually hurts your "brand".

I agree completely. This thread was pretty much about what people think about smoove and how much they do or don't like his opinion. This is a 2k forum let's leave it to our opinions of 2k, not the commentators.

Headlines should be interesting because they frame the content in an accurate but interesting way, not most interesting because they're false. When I see misleading headlines, it makes me automatically think the author isn't confident of the value of his content, and I'm reading one of the cheap clickwhoring sites that profits only by regurgitating content generated elsewhere.

Anyway, I thought Smoove's observations were helpful and he was really happy about the lack of leaning layup cheese. Also pointed out boxing weirdness I might have missed on my own.

Do want to say that Optik is one of the better and more knowledgable posters here. You're better than that, man. Even your first comment echoing Smoove about the slip was valuable and I learned something that I had questions on for awhile. This thread should be more about that kind of thing.

Yep, I know. My bad. However I have made quite a few threads in the past about what seem to me to be interesting issues (playcalling etc.), and they get little to no replies. Guess I just decided to go for a different approach.

From now on we'll call that the 'sensational thread's title cheese'.

Chris smoove is a member at OS as well and lying on other members is not something this site should or will condone.

That said all members here can have an opinion including him.

Re: Chris Smoove thoughts on NBA 2K14

User started controlling Gasol and didn't react

Kaman went to meet Tyson who then made his move to the rebound. Happens all the time.

That blocking fouls wasn't annoying, dude ran into Melo who was on the air, it's a foul.

Basketball is a dynamic sport, no time to show 300 replays unless there's a break in the action

Pass was behind the defense.

So yeah, I disagree with most of Smoove;s beef

Re: Chris Smoove thoughts on NBA 2K14

I agree with everything that was said in this video except the comment about the game winner. Come on son, that's the Lakers house....the weakest arena in the NBA. Lol, a bunch of stuck up, rich, celebrities who come just because they have the money. They don't even cheer.

Now if that would have been the Thunder stadium or the Heat, I might have agreed that something is wrong but the Lakers? Na son, 2K captured their arena perfectly.

You've never seen people at staples go crazy when Kobe hits a game winner!!??!! As far as the heat fans going crazy, there the same type of fans as laker fans so I don't get how they'd react differently.lol

Re: Chris Smoove thoughts on NBA 2K14

Not a big smoove fan, but that rebound looked pretty crazy to me, and I wouldn't like to see that in 2k. Could care less about the crowd reaction though, although it seems they don't respond very well to GW's.

I don't think so. I think it's just people who prefer other commentators.
Personally I like him and have watched almost all his My Player videos since he started with them.
