This game is INCREDIBLE. It "feels" so much better than last-gen I can't put it into words. You can react quicker to loose balls and everything. I don't know if that's due to the framerate but it's wat more "twitchy" now (which is a good thing).

Re: NBA 2K14 Developer Diary - Player Rhythm, Personality Badges & More

ok what does rhythm mean b/c they are throwing that word around very loosely. Is it a new rating or a substitute word for ratings boosts and if ratings boosts what particular ratings are being boosted?

Either way this is a nice touch to the game and we now can confirm that it is a new momentum system, I just hope it doesnt turn out to be cheesy as we all would hope.

Jerson,

I must admit you guys used some examples from the original signature skills thread and just went H.A.M. I am glad you guys are reading this board because I know some of the input is getting put in what the community requested. I know I put down the Mentor, Streaky, Volume shooter, Enforcer and the Mind Games one. I didn't call it mind games but I called it the Trash talker lol. Stern probably wasn't approving of Trash talker anyway. I definitely remember the Sparkplug.

If you can tell us the correlation for Rhythm to ratings? Probably too detailed but good looking anyway. This game is sick though

Going deeper in feature, we also take into account the context and significance of a particular game to a given player or the team as a whole. These can have an impact on how players could potentially perform for that game.

Hometown Games: Playing an Away game in a player’s hometown. Commentary will also point out these games to clue you in on whose homecoming game it is.

Visiting Old Teams: Playing against an old team whom a player has a history with. James Harden playing back against Oklahoma is a good example.

Rivalry Games – Some rivalries stand the test of time and some fizzle out. Players can get in Rhythm earlier during these matchups.

Games against Power Teams – Some teams tend to elevate their game when up against powerhouses.

Playoff Ramification Games – All games matter, but it definitely matters more when a playoff spot is on the line.
