Re: NBA2K14 GAMESCOM video

I dont know..looks a little like 2k13. Is that footage from next gen or current gen?

This is current gen.

Nice to see proper spacing and no unnecessary random cuts but that could of been from a play called, hard to tell. The block was nice but you can do that now in 2k13. I think this game will play alot like 2k13 aside from the signature animations added to the players this yr. Maybe I'm wrong but thats how I feel, even on next gen I don't expect gameplay to change much, just expect a substantial graphical improvement.

Re: NBA2K14 GAMESCOM video

Apparently going to have to address each player's full court shot tendency the minute I pop this one open. Great.

I'm kidding.

But honestly, even though he was user controlled and wide open, I'm wondering what dictated that guy at the high post to pivot and fire a 15 foot, leaning, underhanded floater. As in, did the gamer accidentally trigger that? Or did the game decide that was the best shot option in that particular situation? I suppose since he didn't square up, the shot initiation was treated as a back-to-the-basket post move.

Ummm... that was a CPU controlled player.

@sundown, I like the presentation look of the starting lineups, to me that is nice, simple and unique... nothing over the top but yet not vanilla either.

What would you like to see instead?

Something like this?

TV presentation style all the way!

Re: NBA2K14 GAMESCOM video

Not feeling the presentation at all, worse than last year IMO. I saw another video of heat vs spurs and faces looked 100% the same. I'm waiting for more next gen info. The decent amount of gameplay improvements isn't enough to make me buy the game twice.

Re: NBA2K14 GAMESCOM video

That underhanded floater from the free throw line was bizzare. Also, I think that shot is trigger far too often in NBA 2K13. How many players in the ATHLETIC NBA are going to use that as a shot? The only player that comes to mind who would do that shot is Luis Scola.

Yeah They did make a new Norris Cole Face though (You see him briefly in 2k's Official Euroleague trailer)

Yeah looks like he doesn't inexplicably look like a son of Magic Johnson anymore.

The starting player lineup presentation graphic is bizarre.

2K should stick with more traditional presentation graphics that emulate broadcasts rather than try to be overly creative.

Meh, I thought it was pretty damn cool looking personally and an upgrade over last year's starting line-up intro. Going to finish watching the video now....

I liked the blocked lay-up attempt and the semi-lay up\hook shot that the CPU attempted. It beats seeing that horrid post fadeaway animation where they pivot and fade the wrong way. Plus, maybe this means we have more contextual animations in the paint this year.

Your right, i just saw it and he even has the box fade. Wade and Lebron look a tiny bit different as well. But i thought they would have showed Kawhi some love from his playoff performances, but he still looked generic in the heat vs spurs video.

Almost every player on the Spurs looked fine last year, even Matt Bonner who had looked like a troll since forever, while Parker, Blair (no longer a Spur) and Corey Joseph could have used a touch up. Leonard, Green and Duncan looked the best on the team, IMO, cyberface wise.

Gregg Popovich could use a more accurate, and acne scared (LOL), cyberface model on the bench, though.

There should be an 'inside 15 feet only' rule for post moves other than a turnaround jumper or a hook(and the hook should be rare out there). That floater started behind the free throw line.

As long as it's not this:


I am fine with that. And why did you leak LD2K's current fantasy basketball team?

HAH! I didn't even notice till you mentioned it!

They could do without the silly bad boy poses and just have a headshot of the players.

Unless that was for Euro teams only (which I doubt), they managed to make the lineup presentation worse. Looks like the team is getting sucked into a black hole or popping out of a high-tech gopher hole.

Honestly, I think it looks worse than 2K13.

I like that they changed the palette to blue/silver over gold, but the lineup graphics would have been great simply by doing the same and removing the flowery curlicues.
