I have been thinking on why this could have been taken out. It occurred to me that if they setup their rotations to work a certain way. Allowing a user to pick the double from a position that is opposite how the rotation was built to work could create a bug in gameplay where double team equal a broken rotation.

That is just me speculating but it sounds feasible. I miss the old way for sure.

You can still pick the player you want for the help on the double team but it forces you to play off ball and bring him manually. I was really hoping they brought back the old way this year but it is what it is.

The classic teams plays were not updated so they will not have all the improvements of current team plays with very few exceptions.

Thanks for the answer CZAR. I guess my bigger question is how much of the playbook/gameplay improvements/fixes did translated over to the classic teams/players as far as spacing improvement oncourt AI improvement, playcalling etc...

Thanks for the great preview.

My main issues from the past have been:

CPU Offensive Rebounding- In the past, the CPU would receive a good amount of offensive rebounds unless you really lowered the slider. Is this still apparent?

CPU Running Plays- Last year, it appeared the CPU would take off on a defensive rebound and fast break a lot and shot it quickly w/o running a play. You needed to go into coach's settings and mess around with the numbers.

Has that beeen addressed?

Thank you.

So is Seattle still green/red team? No option with the yellow/green jersey sonics? Not really expecting it but thought I'd ask

Re: NBA 2K14 Hands-On Impressions and Q&A (PS3)

First hand, sorry if my questions were already answered.

I got hooked with this game only last year (actually got this game only 2nd qtr of this year, coz Im FED UP with EA's NHL) with MyCareer Mode. As per review posted in another thread, theres' no much changes in this mode.


1. In creating a player - is there an option for a sport goggles like that of Stoudamire?

2. Do you have to play all the games in MyCareer? Or could I sim it?

3. Biggest gripe in mycareer is the substitution - sometimes the coach replace you and then put you back in in less than 2 mins or at times even if its a blowout, by either team, the coach dont pull you out. Is this still in the game?

4. What changes, if any, in 2k14 in this mode?

Many thanks.

Re: NBA 2K14 Hands-On Impressions and Q&A (PS3)

Can you give your thoughts on 1-on-1 interactions from both offense & defense?
Things such as:

-Can players force their way through defenders? (e.g through hopsteps, eurosteps etc)
-Do you feel faster players (e.g. Westbrook, rose) can reasonably beat slower defenders?
-Have you tried to take a charge and if so how well does it happen?


Also if you don't mind can you share Mid Range & 3pt rating for Ryan Anderson?

Offensive Rebounds are much better on default. They arent non existant but they dont feel cheap like they did in 2k13.

Not seeing an issue with the CPU running plays at all this year.

Anything new Aholbert in the postgame?

I know they've redone the up and unders. The one you do near the rim while not in a backing down position. In 2K12 - 2K13 if you where to pumpfake near the rim you would get the pumpfake and the start of the under animation that that would make the whole thing look glitchy (also looked like a travel). Hard to explain for me though. But from the gameplays I have seen it looked way better.

This is the third time you've posted this. Spamming a thread isnt the way to get your question answered. I was planning to look into this but you took the wrong approach.

Nope. Players do a decent job of holding their ground. It also lowers the chance of a made shot as the defender is still their to defend the shot.

Yes on default. Last year, through slider changes you could make them faster. This year on default, I can use Westbrook to blow by defenders.

I've tried but I suck at setting charges so Ive failed at it.

Re: NBA 2K14 Hands-On Impressions and Q&A (PS3)

Thanks for the Impression first and foremost

Only 2 questions

1. Are leaning/momentum shots still very successful this year ? Last year leaning shots were just as effective as a spot up jumper

2. This may be too early to ask but do you think this could clearly be the best 2k simulation wise out the box ?

Re: NBA 2K14 Hands-On Impressions and Q&A (PS3)

Revising my earlier post, thanks for answering all these!

1. Any new courts for Blacktop Mode (2K13 was Rooftop and Daytime Rucker)? Do players still wear their own uniforms in Blacktop?
2. Can we upload/download sliders from 2KShare? And does 2KShare still do Rosters/Teams/CAPs?

Thank you again!

Re: NBA 2K14 Hands-On Impressions and Q&A (PS3)

Don't know if asked but are there still insane closeouts on shooters by guys like Lebron--flying out of nowhere to block what should have been an open shot?
