NBA 2K14: It's Time to Revamp Presentation

[WarlordZMaster]

2K has bigger issues to fix, like VC, Server save files, missing game modes (next gen). The presentation is still 10x better than Madden. I'd like a fully functional product first.

For me, they don't have to have a license such as TNT but just make it as close to real TV presentation as possible, sorta like how Madden does mimicking the CBS presentation.

Replays in my opinion should only happen when there are breaks in action unless it was a ferocious slam, incredible shot, etc. Those Nike replays can go if you ask me.


The crowd must be felt. If I'm on a huge run playing great defense, I don't want my crowd to be close to non-existent, possibly adding team specific chants? I know down here at the FedEx Forum we have multiple chants we cheer when the Grizzlies are playing great or even if we are trying to get them back into the game. Same thing with playoffs except there should be more intensity and much more loud, OKC should feel like your playing in OKC, Sac-Town should feel like Sac-Town.

Game winners/Post Game winner emotions needs LOTS of work. Simple as that.

In my GM, somebody mentioned that they should have a weekly wrap-up like ESPN NFL 2K5.. YES! Talk about teams on winning streaks, cold streaks, players who are hot, injuries in the league, the rumor mill, talk about the pertaining to the playoffs and all-star weekend when its that time.

Same thing when you are playing a my GM game, they should be talking about the league and what's going on, and how your players and whoever you are playing against players have been playing in previous games. This should go on throughout the game, not just when there is a short break from action.

Just my 2 cents.

The fact that you are spoiled by constantly experiencing new images and video and entertainment all over the internet shouldn't mask you from having realistic expectations in quality. But apparently it does. You asking for 2k to step up it's game is selfish and wrong. I can understand you not wanting to see a Madden scenario of the same game being thrown out there w/ a couple new features every year but 2k jumped ahead so far in presentation and overall gameplay a couple years ago that i think if anyone deserves a pass it's them. The Show and 2k are fantastic games and i will not critique them when every other studio and sporting franchise is so flawed.

while you might be right, settle down lol.

the article isnt "selfish" or "wrong" lol, its not like this is a moral issue..... While presentation is the last thing 2k should focus on for next year, he can still ask 2K to step up in other areas and in no way be "wrong." Also, the fact that other games are worse is not relevant. A franchise can always improve and just because they are the best doesn't mean they can just sit back and go "well we are better than NBA live lol."

One way to liven up the presentation is to have more than one broadcast team. 2K can give us the option to alternate automatically or we can pick and choose what broadcast we want @ the team select screen.

NCAA Basketball 10 did this and although that game was not that good, their presentation was stellar. In that game you could choose either ESPN or CBS presentation. Both presentations had different commentators, which gave the game a lively feel. 2K Sports could do this same thing, even with out ESPN or CBS. If they would just add an extra broadcast team to the game it would liven it up tremendously!!!!

Maybe....

Also a pre-game and post game show would be a nice touch. Sort of like Inside the NBA on TNT. They can have a pre-game show with host to build up the game. Especially for big match ups and the playoffs.


They did the same thing with NFL 2K5....

Know nothing of basketball but Ivr been watching chris smoove for a while and I'm so jealous of this franchise.

I'm a hockey fan and its night and day difference between NHL series and this.

Can you all adopt hockey and help push 2k in making a hockey franchise again?

I feel your pain brother, but right now the movement is to get 2K to make an NFL game again.

Hockey is gonna have to get in line.....(lol)

We didn't just pay $500 for a new console just for prettier graphics. Going forward I hope to see more shows such as halftime, post game, pre season, playoffs, finals and draft.

Above all, I want a 2k football game.. Wrong thread?
