NBA 2K14 Official Trailer and Screenshots

[SPRINGS03]

Trailer was, meh. Not really impressed, same old same old. But i just wanna know if rebounding, passing, AI, and ball physics have made improvements.

-Edit the Knicks, Bulls, and any Black jersey to make them darker
-Change the Hex Color codes of teams with red, blue, and green (too light)
-Re-add stackable accessories

You know, the simple editing stuff, not a complete new graphics engine, but at least take time and just edit some of the art in game to make some things not as light. Maybe even port some PC patches and convert that to 2K14 if there are changes to the file structure (highly doubt it for art)

No KD or Dwade in the trailer?

I agree with the art part that it should be on par with the PC mods but people act like they are expecting a total overhaul of the graphics.

I'm wondering if this is just a marketing thing by the NBA or if we'll have Game Time shows during Association/MyCareer talking about our team/our player. That would be sweet.

Yeah, people think that this crap should be on ENB series-like globals, Im just saying just take the iff files of PC mods and just overwrite them to the game. It can't be that hard right?

Pretty impressive trailer. I liked what I saw with the exception of the multiple blind lay-ups. And I'm not trying to be negative at all, just stating my opinion, but these sizzle trailers don't get me excited anymore. Hell, last years game had pretty animations. I KNOW 2K has the flash. I'm more excited to see gameplay. Still...nice trailer.

Right on. The gameplay stuff looks cool and if certain aspects have been altered positively (as it appears they have), I'm thinking I could really enjoy 2K14.

That said, the trailer still didn't drive me wild, and it has very little to do with the lack of concrete graphical upgrade. It's kind of a bummer that any displeasure with the way this game is shaping up is quickly retorted with "What do you even expect them to do on a current generation platform?" as if 2K's been working off an NES this past year.

My question, as an NBA fan (non-MyTeam, Crew, fantasy player): what is 2K really bringing to the table this year aside from blocked dunks, trick passing, and an improved dribble stick? I understand there's a long list of gameplay improvements, but do the likes of "more animations", "smart playcall", and "expanded defensive commands" hold a ton of weight at this point? I'm not so sure.

Maybe I just want to be surprised by some new, small little things - like correct accessory colors or each player having the correct long term hair cut (not just some big time guys) so Iman Shumpert can look legit and so can Jerryd Bayless. It'd even be kind of cool to see the general accessories applied correctly to each player (not the ones who change accessories every game, but the ones who've had the same gear for a few years now - like the aforementioned Rod Stuckey).

I don't really hold any of the above seriously against 2K since they're small things. It's just, like I said, those types of improvements (as well as in other departments) would have been a pleasant surprise without necessarily needing the next generation to make it happen. More than actual artistic graphics, it's those types of things that can make a game feel a little stagnant from one year to the next.
