Re: Nba2K14 (CG) - Flashing passes - Cheese

Everyone in the NBA does a nice NO Looker here and there lol, whats the problem if nene is throwing some? not like its faking you out hmm? its not something that can be abused you can easily stop someone on D from the gameplay it looks at least honestly think some of you guys just like to try to find a flaw to complain about lol.

Stern can do amazing things.

On one trip down about midway the vid I think Nash hypnotised the Lakers Lol. They were in fan mode waiting to see how he finished the play. Nash has 99 problems but a dish ain't one... hit me!

If I can defend against it at a high success rate, then I really don't care. In fact, I will encourage it. That just means more possessions for me.

Re: Nba2K14 (CG) - Flashing passes - Cheese

I said this months down the line in the multitude of "This is cheese", "That is Cheese", "Extra Cheese on my Pizza", "Pastrami and Cheese Sandwich", and "Wisconsin Cheese" threads that popped up here. There will always be a move in a game that seems over-powered or "Cheesy" to people and that NBA 2k14 would be no different. It's impossible to make a perfect game where everything is super balanced without one tactic standing out. In a non-competitive world where we play against friends on the couch, this wouldn't matter. In the age of the internet where everyone wants to be #1, people will find the best tactic, latch on, and it will be considered "Cheesy" because everyone is doing it.


That MAY be the case for the flashy passes(Not even going to take the realism into account with the Nene pass, as I'm commenting on how this may be cheese instead of how realistic him throwing the pass is). However, we have yet to play the game and see how bad it is. It could be a tactic that allows for unblockable pin-point precision passing that get's abused. It could be how the dev's said, in which big men throwing a lot of them will not connect and the NeNe pass may have been an exception to the rule(If it's a 70% fail rate for bad passers, they still can make it happen 30% of the time, right?).


Let's all hold off our judgement, put the pitchforks and torches down, and delay the use of our "Angry Mob Storming the Castle" license until we're ABSOLUTELY Sure this is an undefendable tactic. We truly don't know until the sticks are in our hands how bad this will be, and while I don't condemn any of you for being as on guard as you are given the previous years, let's just wait and see. Right? Anyone?

Notice how the d was just standing there in a lot of those passes thru traffic? I hope the NBA can patch that. ; )

Watch: 46 seconds - Magic does the same over the shoulder pass that Nene does (right hand over left shoulder) except Nene is doing this in transition to a guy on the wing (also in transition) while Magic has a cutter while in the post. Is it Magic > Nene, Magic = Nene or Nene + transition = Magic?

Now I am a diehard 2k guy... but passes in/around the paint go unpunished more often than not. I am just saying from my brief time on the sticks and the vids that I feel that flashy style passes might be a bit too accurate. Again prob. due to get people to use it since its a new feature, I get it, just from a 'sim' perspective its a bit over easy.

They forgot about Nene's incredible passing abilities in this one.

Yes, as long as flashy passing has an appropriate response when done incorrectly I'll be cool, I'm a little queasy about it right now tho... all that foreseeable cheddar that I'm going to be having to deal with.

Nene + transition + a miracle = magic lol. but I agree with you, I hope its adjustable so that the difficulty of the pass is tied to the individuals passing skill level. and while most everyone should be able to pull off a nice one here and there, everyone shouldn't be able to turn into kid, Rhondo, or Magic . but being that they have made it user controlled im almost sure there will be some instances where someone pulls of some passes that make us say NO WAY should he have done that. but between sliders and player ratings im thinking I will be fine with the game.

now when you go online LOL........who knows how that will end up

just for the record I was a big fan when passing was very difficult, you had to dribble and work the ball around to find passing lanes. but that year the boards lit up like a Christmas tree saying passing was too hard. I just feel for the developers trying to make us happy because opinions vary so drastically.

Agreed throughout.

Agreed throughout.

IM hoping they have some signature "flash" in there. If so can you imagine running the break with your namesake? Ol J Will.....he was always one of my favorites to watch. Should've gotten a shot at a ring in Sacramento with Webber

Sac did get jacked back in the day by the L. So did Nash and the Suns.

Flashy passing should only apply to players with a rating over 75 or so.

Re: Nba2K14 (CG) - Flashing passes - Cheese

Nene does have the Post Playmaker Signature & also is a good passer for a big man.

Wasn't in the post, done while in transition, is a decent passer, but cmon.

Re: Nba2K14 (CG) - Flashing passes - Cheese

So far, your preemptive worries about the cheese factor of flashy passes are unwarranted. Flashy passes are not an automatic connection and they can be deflected. Could be that most of the ones I've thrown were unintentional and that's why they're unsuccessful. But so far, so good.

Well... it is a HIGHLIGHT mix about passing, they're not going to show tipped or intercepted passes. Nobody says it never happens in the nba. We're saying it shouldn't be as succesful as it seems to be.
