    Superstar/Sim is definitely the way to go. The game feels great. Don't even think I'm gonna mess with the sliders that much.

      In case anyone cares, you can sell the King James pre order code for around 15 bucks on eBay right now. I just sold mine for $14 last night.

          will be getting this tomorrow cant wait. The review has me wanting to play ASAP. the gameplay improvements youm mentioned plus my mode of choice, association mode would make this maybe 9 or 10.

            Hard to immerse myself into a game where crowd reaction to a big time shot or a moment in a game. Next-Gen needs to fix this.
            Whatever you do, don't give constructive criticism or say anything negative about Madden video games! It seems to be the equivalent of a felony...

              The gameplay improvements look and sound great from what I've seen, but to me the biggest upgrade is without a doubt the removal of Jay Z and his terribly dated music and videos from the presentation. I no longer have to mute the TV until tip-off!

                Gameplay is all I care about but this review seems to only focus on offline gameplay. Playing against computer AI is just not fun for me so I really need to know if it is effective to play realistically and how much cheese exists online. To me, the mark of great online gameplay is when a game rewards users for using realistic tactics while limiting unrealistic moves or cheese. Previous 2K's were dominated by cheese online because it was the most effective way to win. That is the review info I need before making the purchase.

                  If you look only for realistic gameplay online, you better stop buying sports game

                    Just reading your summary, not sure how this even warranted an 8.5. No desire to play this rehashed title.

                      Some points

                      - Defense is the real, just like the reviewer said, there is contact throughout.
                      - I actually blocked/stopped an alley opp , which was pretty much impossible in 2k13
                      - you cant go dribbling wild all over the place or freely pass all over either
                      - only certain players can perform flashy passes so dont think you will be no looking with Kendrick Perkins
                      - Playing Head to Head is much MUCH better because of the defense improvements
                      - your AI teammates during online Head to Head, actually play defense along with you.
                      - players box out for rebounds alot better
                      - you will be rewarded for playing good/pressure defense
                      - Create-a-player is unchanged and is a big disappoint, so strange faced players in your draft classes are back
                      - Didnt see any cheesing exploits yet. One of the main exploits folks did last year, the in the paint cheese, is not possible.
                      - Lay-up cheesing and dunk cheesing isnt present to my knowledge as I pointed out I blocked a alley opp
                      - If you dont protect the ball you lose it. there is no dribbling in front of another player without consequense.

                      all i got so far from this morning...

                        Think I'll pass on Roster Update 2K14.

                        Edit: Should clarify this is towards the PS3/360 version. Next gen should be legit for 2K.

                          i like the review. it confirmed what i was hoping for with this game, gameplay improvements. ironically, the line that this will test what OS'ers say about just improve the gameplay was answered by the reviewers own score.

                          last year 2k13 scored a 9,5. everything the reviewer said implied this game is the same game with much better gameplay. Score 8.5.

                          to be fair, the same thing happened with the madden 13 to 14 score, but from the review comments you would think the drop would have been only .5 points not a full point.

                            Good to hear that you had that experience. Maybe it's just small sample stuff based on my experience. I'll go play other teams like Houston, San Antonio and Miami and see if it's any better.

                                what i took from this is that this is about the same game from last year except with re-done mode with untouched modes, some features that was in their past games with some new animations and a new control scheme...did i miss anything...o yeah updated roster maybe lol
