Re: NBA 2k14 Gameplay

Of course it looks the same, they've reached their limits on what they can do with the current gen systems.

This has been the mantra going around regarding why this game looks the same as 2K13 and I'm just not buying it. The carry over of graphical inaccuracy from one year to the next ie the aqua color of the Knicks jersey, faces that needed updates yet look identical to last year such as Durant and Chandler Parsons, and courts from 2 seasons ago such as the Dallas Mavericks floor which were not touched for 2k14 do not suggest limitation; it suggests a lack of attention/effort. Even if the models remain largely the same, the color palette and certain textures could at least have been given a touch-up. To their credit, they did correct some heads, mainly those players who sport flattops it seems.

My theory is that the lack of effort in the area of graphics on current gen was intentional. These guys are working on two different games this year, so something had to give. Judging by the pre-alpha trailer I suspect those art guys went in hard on the next gen version and focused their energies there. I can dig this approach as long as the next gen graphics are up to par.

Gameplay wise, the current gen actually looks much improved. I might give this a look on the PC.

Parsons should have tweeted Ronnie2K about his face like Shump did for his flattop.

Seriously though, his face is a visual glitch. It should have been adressed.

Yep, looks like the passing didn't get touched (in terms of accuracy from Vegas when I brought it up), I noticed then it was far too accurate all around the court, but was assured that it was build and that it was corrected... sheeeeeeettttttt... from these videos just about every no-look thru traffic pass somehow magically makes the intended target .

Very disappointed in that.

Something that still no one has mentioned (I did in the MyTeam DEV thread) is that shoes, no one has generics on. This is a good step for 2K in terms of authenticity, maybe NiceKicks has something to do with it, I dunno, 2K comes out saying they are doing something w/ them but never says what it is, unless they holding back for NG.

The last 2 months have been disappointing. The game looks improved and the paint defense is much better. However, the generic dribbling with the dribble stick and the passing are not very realistic. At the very least they could have toned down full court 99 accuracy passes. The fact that they added flashy passing to a game with poor passing without correcting the unrealistic basic passes is not good. If all they cared about was next gen then they should have sold us current gen at a discounted price.

When ld2k said yesterday during the live stream that they are preoccupied with this little thing called next gen, then I already knew what was going on. I hope I am wrong about all of these small things that seem like we may get schiested on current gen. The game looks good every year until we play it for a while and we see things that need to be fixed, if they have moved on to next gen I doubt anything on current gen will get corrected if there is a problem. But, I do appreciate the improvements in the game from 13 to 14.

Man this is NBA2K13.5.1 and Next Gen better be the whole different experience that they say it will be. None of those videos got me excited at all. We have no DEMO to even try see if we would give the game a purchase.

At least update players hair and facial hair at least if you can't completely change the model and that 2k10 create a character build is so damn outdated like come on you got a mode dedicated to making unique characters why not update it. The more videos appear, more I feel this not a $60 worth game and feel like 2k turning into EA, like what they do with madden.

Your right man, this game should be no more than $29.99. For the small amount of changes paying full price for isn't an option for me.

so weird watching Celtics with no Pierce or Garnett.

Gameplay looks really solid though.

[grodbetatted]

Well its become apparent that 2k over the last few years has been a fast break run and gun type of game... Most of the users are doing a few quick passes if any and just trying to go to the bucket or shooting horrible jump shots... the computer looked good, but the player controlled teams horrendous

If you think about it. The game is only 10.00$ because you just trade it in for .NG 2k for 10 rather than two full 60$

Really hard for me to honestly say how I feel about the game because NO ONE is playing the game the way I play it. It would be nice to get some sim heads on there to give us some gameplay. That's the only reason I've decided to wait until next gen. Some sim gameplay would really force my hand.

I am copping though but they really should think about giving the game to a least one sim guy to upload 6 minute quarters with random teams showing the game play improvements. Teams actually run plays even iso's are by design. I mean not even a simple pick and roll just weird man. That run best play option sounds like a big improvement for even casuals and sim heads.

Re: NBA 2K14 Videos - Gameplay Videos, Editing MyPlayer, Season Simulation Results

Wow create a player still looks like crap.... Just gonna stick with Next Gen 2k and Live and hope one of them is good.

Re: NBA 2k14 Gameplay

Are you saying that Parsons need next gen hardware to get a face that at least ressembles his real life counterpart?

A new scoreboard?

Improved colours?

Stuff like that makes the game feel fresh every years.

Dear god, I meant the overall look of the game. It's going to look the same because they've reached their peak in terms of graphics on this gen.

If you want to talk about new face scans, scoreboards and colors, be my guest, but the overall look of the game is going to remain largely unchanged.

Its next gen or bust. And to be honest, next-gen will have to be VERY impressive for me to splurge on a PS4/XB1.
