I'm typically pretty poor at discovering new intricacies upon first viewing. To the naked eye it just about looks the same as 2K13. I'm bummed the general presentation design stuck around, only it looks like the gold was replaced with silver if I'm not mistaken. Still, I was definitely hoping to break away from any remnants of the Jay-Z-inspired inspiration.

There was a strong left handed layup at the backboard/rim that I liked in the third video, so that was cool. I didn't like seeing that lame alley-oop animation returning though (to Ibaka I think, in the first or second video).

So far I'm getting a feeling similar to what I had near the end of my PS2 NBA 2K run, where things were still being improved upon, but it's clear the real focal point is probably going to be on the next generation version, even though two separate teams worked on these games. I think current generation can still be good, I just feel as though the real innovation is stored away for the other version.
