NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Season Simulation Declares Heat As Champs

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Season Simulation Declares Heat As Champs

These pics are def from an old build, becuase I just noticed that guys on the bench in the Heat vs. Spurs Finals pic have warm-ups on, but 2k already said players wont have warm-ups in the final build.

Yes & no. They could reduce it, but it reduces the texture because if you don't, you'll have a texture that cut off halfway through since the area is smaller than the logo itself. The way the courts are coded now, apparently each logo is placed in a rectangle vs having the logos be completely separate from the floor itself. If the floor was its own base file and the logos were layered onto the court then sizes could be differentiated w/o being tied to a certain area coded into the court if that makes sense.

Yeah I think it does. What's stopping them from going the layer route?

Those WC records don't look too promising in terms of the sim engine that we will be getting. Only one team over 50 wins? When was the last time, if ever that happened?

It looks pretty accurate to me actually. That doesn't happen a whole lot but the west is kind of depleted in terms of great teams compared to the east

Re: NextGen Season Simulation

Yeah who knows, right. I'm just sure everyone would be cool with the sim engine if it was the Heat had gone 40-42 in the simmed season.

My point is that it is ridiculous to trumpet the game's graphical "realism" in terms of socks and tattoos and hairstyles and armbands and then fail miserably when it comes to reproducing an NBA basketball season.

Obviously they're not the same department. But since you mention it maybe they should start letting the graphics guys do the ratings -- they could hardly do a worse job.

IMO, this is not a random occurence. I felt when the game was released that VC would shortchange the Pacers and Grizzlies because they have highly rated so many inferior teams. I'm just sick and tired of the overrating of "name" players and franchises at the expense of players and teams that actually win games.

LOL

Not trying to pile on, but your posts are a bit ridiculous. The simulation engine will never be even close to 100% accurate especially when the season hasn't started. Just let it go and download a better roster off 2KShare. Plenty of guys do an adequate job over the default roster.

Good catch, but in another pic they have no warmups, so multiple builds in the pics.

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Season Simulation with New Screenshots

Hahahaha I'm sure glad I don't come on these forums anymore after the event last week.. Most of you people are dumber then I thought... The level of nitpicking has come to an all-time high questioning a sim result... You guys never heard of long injuries before?? If the pacers lost Paul George and David West or whoever for most or all of the season u think they would be higher then a 6 seed? U have nooooo idea what happened in that ONE sim season, all u saw is the result... But thank you guys for posting these stupid comments now I realize that the game is soo strong it's hard to find faults in it when ur nitpicking that hard...

The screenshots look fantastic.. The only thing I saw that caught my eye was Derrick Rose should be a tad bit more cut up that's it... I can't wait until the 15th I can hardly contain myself!!! Almost gametime gentleman!!!

True, but seeing that they were in the game at one point I wonder what made them take them out of the game, they dont look that bad in the pic.

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Season Simulation Declares Heat As Champs

Stills look great! Broadcast angle vids please?

I'm cool with the simulation results. Who knows what injuries, trades, etc. took place in it?

My poor poor Charlotte At least we get back our Hornets name next year!

But did 2K officially say there are no warmups? If so where? They didn't have them in the gameplay video but they didn't have cameramen either and I'm almost positive they r in?? I think the jury is still out... I won't believe anything until I get the final copy out the case

LOL yourself.

What's ridiculous about expecting the game to recognize the accomplishments of the Grizzlies and Pacers? I don't expect 100 percent accuracy, but I expect some reasonable attempt at it.

So why should I "let go" of the game's poor simulation engine when there are such strenuous objections to armbands and socks being displayed incorrectly?

And I play 80 percent online, 20 percent offline, so shared/downloaded rosters are of very little interest to me.

Looking at the Harden Howard screenshot above, seems like big men still tend to have bigger heads...

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Season Simulation Declares Heat As Champs

Kind of confused by some of the next gen NBA 2K14 screen shots.

In some screen shots the bench players are wearing their warm up jerseys and in other screenshots they are not wearing the warm up jerseys.

Also the NBA dancers and team mascots are missing.

Re: NextGen Season Simulation

In 2011-2012, only the Spurs had 50 wins in the West, and only Chicago had 50 in the East. Happens more often than you think. (Sans the lockout of course)

And last year, only New York, Miami, OKC, San Antonio and Memphis and Denver had over 50. It fluctuates based on the talent level in the league.

And in the sim, 4 teams went over 50 wins, only TWO less than real life last year. I know you were trying to find something to hate on, but come on man.

Brooklyn with 62 wins??? C'mon man!!!
