NBA 2K14 Video - Detroit Pistons vs. Washington Wizards

Re: NBA 2K14 Video - Detroit Pistons vs. Washington Wizards

I know I'm in the minority on here, but I can really notice the difference between 2K13 and 2K14 in these videos. I assume these are played on default. Everyone is going nuts over aspects of the game that can be adjusted with sliders and with edited rosters by those geniuses in the community (Bedwardsroy19 in particular).
Things I liked:
* CPU controlled teams using pump fakes - saw a lot by the Pistons, and in my opinion they were all legit and not overused. Particularly like them after an offensive rebound.
* CPU teams showing improved ball movement. Seemed more drive and kicks and better spacing.
* Fast breaks seem improved. Better running of the lanes, speed seemed more realistic (ie. no C/PFs catching up to Perimeter players on the break).
* New animations look great, new layups and contact in the paint in particular.

Things I hope can be improved:
* Full court and cross court passes used too often with too much accuracy.
* CPU team subbing all 5 players at once. NEVER happens! Hope this is not done frequently, and can be changed with Subs and Fatigue sliders.
* Where was Datome on the Pistons?!? Looking forward to playing as him.

Overall I'm excited for 2K14. I'll judge it after playing on settings I prefer, and not overreacting like some people after a few 10 minute clips.

I'm soo glad I'm passing on NBA 2k14 for current gen. They didn't seem to do much according to this video. The offensive and defensive AI has been tweaked slightly from 2k13, The thing that sticks out like a thorn in my is no nba play results in the pg just standing there for a few seconds with hardly no movement from the other teammates. There is always some type of motion. Here is my rundown of negative things I see in the video.

1. The pre game hand shaking is only being done by the star player. In the video between LA and NY every players was giving hand shakes.
2. @1:58 brandon jennings does a double move cut from a stand still position. Where do they do that at?
3. A couple seconds after the hand off J smoove and Jennings seem to get hung up with each other. There seems to still be pathing issues smh.
4. There are recycled steal animations which show that the players are still not trying to track the ball as it is being passed.
5. players still passing the ball when they are wide open
6. @3:21 The player switched off of john wall and the cpu stood back on defense which led to an alley oop to drummond. The cpu switching has not changed much
7. @ 3:23 That god awful air bump is still in the game.
8. @3:50 John wall does a hop step, bumps into the defender but only his animation changes.
9. The CPU wasted a full 24 second shot clock after Wall tipped the ball away and just shot the ball while everybody else was just standing around. On top of that they got the offensive rebound because NOBODY boxed out
10. John wall shook jennings but he didn't react to it until after he sprinted to the lane.........smh.

There is much more in this video I didn't like for this version to be a big improvement from last year to warrant a purchase. And people can say that they 2k is waiting for next gen to implement big changes. My question to you is why the hell would you purchase a game that is a very slight improvement if a bigger improvement is coming a month away from now?

Ummm... Maybe because we don't all have hundreds of dollars (in Australia, $550 for ps4, approx $100 for the game) spare to buy next gen immediately? I'm also going to take note if your name and check back just after next gen launch. I predict you'll be writing something along the lines of "This game sucks. It doesn't look EXACTLY like the TNT broadcast, so I'm not satisfied. Lift your game 2K!!!"

Yeah it is pretty ridiculous how expensive our games are. $100 for every new release yet in the US it is about $60? Even though our currency's are very similair in value.

Re: NBA 2K14 Video - Detroit Pistons vs. Washington Wizards

Certainly does suck! But we do have higher wages along with other things which makes it more expensive for us. Gonna stock up on games for cheaper when I go at the end of the year haha

Re: NBA 2K14 Video - Detroit Pistons vs. Washington Wizards

I shouldn't complain too much. I work at JB Hifi so I get things a little cheaper. Although the prices are so close to cost with consoles and games it doesn't change too much.

Re: NBA 2K14 Video - Detroit Pistons vs. Washington Wizards

I won't beat a dead horse regarding how this game is truly a repackaging of 2K13 with very slight tweaks but I will say that (and this is nitpicking) it bothers me how little attention go into signature shots and animations. In this video, Washington's franchise player, John Wall, got his signature shot that was present in 2K13 TAKEN AWAY and seemingly replaced with Jamal Crawford's sig shot animation. Why?

Now, it's not like Wall's sig shot in 2K13 was spot-on or anything but at least it was an attempt at realism.

EDIT: I will give them kudos for LeBron, though. I guess that was a mo-cap session they did with him because his shot, moves and mannerisms are all absolutely spot-on.

I'm in the minority here but I'm excited for the game. The new blocking system and contact in the paint looks awesome. I can't wait to get my drive and kick game going.

If the PS4 version is that much better I'll wind up buying that too.

They do some odd things with sig shots...like changing perfect sig shots for no apparent reason...Jason Terry's perfect sig shot from 2k7 has yet to return...and it was about as spot on as you can get...

I don't agree that they give it little attention through, I still think they're the best in he business as far as signature styles...and they give us they chance to tweak what we want to change (although online gamers are SOL unfortunately)

I did see some improvements this year though..Durant's shot looks great, Perkins shot was a nice addition, Bron as you mention, and it seems like they FINALLY got Garnett a decent looking shot...

It only evens out for those on minimum wage. If you're earning say, $90,000, that doesn't apply at all.

Hey where have you seen him take a jumper? Do you recall? I've rewatched the Bulls/Brooklyn gameplay and I've only seen him take two free throws. Not sure if they where different from before though.

I don't know. I know they browse the forums and I know they have to see the sig shot thread we put up every year.

I wish they would have mo-capped Steph Curry's shot. It still looks terrible. Same goes for Wade. His sig shot is terrible as well. And if they didn't do anything to Paul George's shot and kept it the same as last year I'm going to be very dissapointed .
