OK enough complaining..who will get NBA 2K14?

[Rubio809]

Ok, I've witnessed A LOT of criticism on 2K13, to the point people say they HATE this game. I want to hear from those people with enough balls to say they refuse to give 2K another dime and will NOT purchase 2K14! Personally, NBA2K forum boards are still the most active on this site, 7 months after the release...so I think many are hypocrites and WILL purchase (maybe secretively..lol) yet another version in October. Granted this game requires custom sliders/rosters to be great, but I think this game is awesome and I will continue purchasing.

At least someone thinks its good. I use to think this game was the best out there up until the last couple of months, when the game would literally cheat for itself(see my rant on the mycareer thread). I'm contemplating getting 2k14, but only cuz i stopped playing call of duty months ago, and no other xbox game holds my interest more than 2k right now. I think 2k is on the right track with alot of stuff, but they just need to fix all the bugs and glitches.

Yes, no game is perfect. They all have certain bugs. Obviously people are still interested in this game as they keep coming back to this site, months after it's release. This poll was not to argue how good or bad the game is, as in listing all the bugs. We know it has issues, but I feel it is still a very good game...once again, with the right sliders/rosters. This poll is to see with all that complaining, with all of that b*tching, who has put their foot down and refuses to buy 2K14. This thread is to hear them speak up.

If 2k releases a PC version, then I'll get it; if not I most likely will not.

Re: OK enough complaining..who will get NBA 2K14?

I have every 2K since 2K7 dating back to the original XBOX... not going to stop now, there are enough modes, updates etc. to keep playing all year.

fully editing rosters & making upcoming draft classes keeps my OCD in check.

I enjoy it.

Im with you on this one, after having to turn in 2k13 early which was the first time ive done that with a NBA2k game, i got to test it out first to see if its worth the 60 bucks.

If I have an Xbox in the fall I will.

Re: OK enough complaining..who will get NBA 2K14?

Right now, even with all its bugs, glitches, direction choices and omissions ... is a for sure buy to me, but not so sure about being a release day buy ...

Without a doubt 2k has the best NBA videogame out there, but there are many things to consider for this next itineration, in order for a release buy:

- Would it be on the new generation of consoles ? If so, would it be a port (ala 2k6, just graphically updated) of the game of current generation or something beyond ?

- Would it address the bugs & glitches that have been recurrent within the past 4 versions ?

- Would it improve on its editing, customization and options ?

- Would it reinstate all features and options that were taken away but were well received by both, hardcore and casual gamers ?

- Would it focus on most of our community (OS/SIM) needs like signature expansion, season/association improvements, gameplay refinements, etc ?

- Would Live third try (and last) would finally be worthy of a release ?

- Would I have the money or job to afford buying it on 1st day ?

Nobody should be blindly committed to buying it, or at least don't post it here online to let 2K know....make me want to buy it 2K!!!

Re: OK enough complaining..who will get NBA 2K14?

I think I'll end up with 2K14 on release day. That purchase has been a yearly tradition for me since 2K3. However, for the first time in a long time (or perhaps ever), I'm not 100% sure I'll be picking it up.

I felt 2K13 began running in a funny direction in some regards in terms of its modes and overall mission (ex: removal of D-League, Summer League, real salary vs. addition of gold coins and spending a year's worth of earnings on fictional t-shirts) and some of it kind of suggests it's possible 2K could continue heading in that type of direction. And if a certain set of things occur (say, continually working toward making all aspects of the offline portion of the game always forcibly online-interactive, removing classic teams altogether, having another celebrity take over all aspects of presentation and music, further limiting custom rosters, Association remaining untouched, etc.) I may have to re-consider as to whether 2K14 would be a 65 dollar product.

I mean, in all honesty, all signs point to me picking up 2K14, particularly since basketball video games are one of the few games I actually play at this point. But for the first time in a while, I'm not sure I'm absolutely brimming with excitement. The gameplay still seems great, and that's half the battle. But just in terms of modes and whatnot, there was this feel in 2K13 like they stopped trusting themselves as to what would make the product good and instead put it in the hands of the Facebook majority (Jay-Z everywhere! Everyone forced to make MyPlayers that stare at you all the time! Everything easier! Never disconnect from the internet if you know what's good for you!).

Re: OK enough complaining..who will get NBA 2K14?

Not on release day. I know reviews will be good. Then about a week after it's out, people start finding all the crap that's wrong like, bugs(no auto plays,2K share) or missing(features, game modes) or just plain bad(autosave,VC)

1. Game is crap for me before the patches. IMO it's a bad game out of the box and the glitches are always something small but gamebreaking for me that I can't fathom how they could have missed it. Too frustrating.

2. Mainly a MyPlayer guy so things like autosave, glitches that I need to wait 2-3 months to be patched, no improvements to player creation, no real money contracts to see what I'm worth, CAN'T pick jerseys, CAN'T sim individual games, CAN'T use sliders if I'm offline, CAN'T remove attribute points once I've used them, CAN'T make 2 separate MyPlayers etc...

The option to do most of what we used to be able to do is missing or was never there to begin with. Over the years this mode isn't getting better or improved upon, it's actually getting worse and it all starts with always online, VC, greediness. NBA2K is a successful brand now, I'm starting to smell the EA stink coming off of 2Ksports and with 2k13 I saw immediately the direction they are going in with this series and it's a bit too maddenesque for my taste to pay a full $60.
