NBA 2K14 Makes You Lebron, Path to Greatness Mode Details

[Gramps91]

I mean it sounds well done and would be awesome for a LeBron fan. The thing is I'm not, so.....

I'm being honest. I don't care for this mode at all.....now the Jordan challenge from 2k11 was the big cheese ! Still play it once and while to this very day, almost 3 years later.

I'd much would've rather of had a Lebron type "Jordan challenge" than this.

So he leaves the Heat to go to another big 3 make it 4 cheat team. Mode would be to easy and I see no point in playing. Straight up for the casuals. I'm a Lebron fan and I want to put him on the Cavs, Magic, Bobcats....you know a team that isn't crazy stacked. Hell that roster they showed has to be way over salary cap.

They should've just done a jordan challenge type mode. LeBron has had so many great moments in his career. Imagine reliving his 48 point game where he scored 29 of his team's last 30 points in 2007 against the Pistons...or his 45 point game facing elimination against the Celtics.

As it is now, this mode likely won't be much different than just placing LeBron on the Knicks roster and doing a quick game...

That sounds good...they could've even of had the "no headband lebron game" from this years finals.

My assumption that it was essentially going to be a LBJ MyPlayer or another MJ Greatest Moments mode was actually what turned me off about the mode....


This sounds interesting and fun to play

I don't care about playing as LeBron, i want to know about MyCareer, it's all I play and the lack of news is worrying me.

There are some interesting tidbits about the Lebron mode that could have implications for My Career.

With the focus on developing a realistic(ish) NBA years in the future, one would hope that they have improved the rookie and developmental logic for both Association and My Player. I always stop those modes in year 2 or 3 because, after that, the league fills up with rookies and sophomores with 80ish rankings, and the games just become silly.

Of course, if the rosters in the mode are heavily scripted, then none of that applies.

This is essentially an LBJ My Player mode, though it's pretty clear it won't be as repetitive...at least they made storylines for each game. Regardless, once it comes down to it....this is a LeBron My Player/Creating a Legend.

look at the gameplay videos its more like a fantasy association centered around Lebron.

The video from IGN shows the player controlling everyone in 5 vs. 5. I thought it would be like myplayer

So is going to Manage Rosters and switching players around= My Team?

Think yall are reaching with that whole idea...we can essentially say this about any mode if we try hard enough....

Is The Association just season mode with some player roles etc.?

Agreed. I would choose to take him back to Cleveland to play with Kyrie and build a dynasty there.

One you choose the path that takes him to the knicks it is not his last stop. There are a number of moves that happen on that path and one of them is Cleveland.

Exactly what I would have done. Very surprising they didnt give us multiple options for teams. They should have atleast allowed the option to choose the knicks, LA, or Cleveland (3 possible destinations for lbj next year)

I wouldn't put Lebron backseat to the other brands cover athlete. Thus why the knicks or whomever else for that matter

I hope LeBron/you can choose to go to any team after his contract is up with the Heat, cause I want to put him back on Cleveland.

[richlane007]

I love how people dis a mode so hard that they haven't tried. Give it a chance guys! I play alot of Association, myCareer, some myTeam but I think these single player modes are pretty fun. The Jordan Challenge was cool, this could be fun too. It would be cool to see how they rebuild the Heat after Bosh goes to the Mavs. Or trying to play with LeBron coming off the bench in Cleveland with an 80 rating.

Everyone is crushing this game but let's recap.

They've added a cool single player mode,
Crew mode,
Tightened up myTeam so you can play against your friends, tournaments
Improved the gameplay
Added the ProStick which is a huge improvement to 2k13 (I miss the shot stick)

Sounds good to me. Thanks 2K.

I think they are on to something with the whole "King John" thing, what a neat idea, making storylines, sounds like fun
