    Is NBA 2k14 really such a big dissapointment?

    Hey guys,
    NBA 2k12 was the first BB game that I played after NBA Live 1999 and after skipping NBA 2k13 I was thinking about picking up 14. But now after reading how dissatisfied many are with the game I'm not sure any more if i should really spend my money and time on it. Does NBA 2k14 really have that big amount of issues or is it just some people nitpicking?
    Spending time with Jesus!

    I think the main thing about it is that a lot of the issues from 2K13 haven't been fixed or even looked at

      Dissapointment? Many people (mostly sim guys) are more than happy with 2K14..ofcourse there are some bugs but it's definitely better game than 2K12 AND 2K13. Cam't remember 2K11 because I didn't play it as much.

        The A.I. is broken on defense IMO. My team leaves guys wide open all the time regardless of what coach setting I have. I like the new controls and game is still great, but time for a patch to fix some glaring problems .

          In my opinion when i watched gameplay on youtube nothing show that they added 3000 new animation, nothing.
          I waited for new gameplan like into the song of fly union "long run" for the classic bulls, nothing have been improved, same playbooks since 3 years.
          Same dunk for Jordan, same ugly routine three frow for Malone, same googles for Grant with the Magic 1995, same classic court with current paint.
          No new classic team while we are waiting for the Suns 1993 since 2 years.
          I waited for a 9,8/10, and at final it is just a 9,2 or 9,3 it is not normal because it was the same note last for nba 2k13!!

          Nba 2k12 = nba 2k14, no difference.

          I advice to every people to not buying ps4 to show to 2k we are not stupid.

          Now, do what you want.

          For my part i didn't buy nba 2k14 on my ps3!! Everybody who bought it, is not really satisfied.
          To be frankly with you, i wait news on ps4 to see if they will add new features with Jordan, but i have no hope. They will argue that they didn't know the PS4 so it was difficult to programm new feature???

          And you know for me, nba 2k13 a lot of people said that the game is not good, give me the suns 93 and other classic team and i will love 2k13 for all my life of course with better triangle offense.
          When i see in france nba2k14 has the place number 3 after gta5 and fifa 14 i'm crazy!! Everybody buy this game.
          It is not the solution.

          But to be honest with you again, there is something which give me a tempt to buy 2k14, maybe the new spacing in triangle, but when i watch than every classic team can do it i think it is not normal.


          Open your eyes guys!!!!

          For the moment i try to enjoy nba 2k12 and 2k11. Itsi my drog, when i watch the graphism of 2k11 it is incredible and i will have just a little more on ps4 i'm sure.

            Rotations man. See how teams collapse in real life. It was so unrealistic in previous games. It's my favourite thing about this year's game.

            I for one am not disapointed with NBA 2K14. It is a finished product. It is polished. It is pretty good.

            I think it needs some balacing and tweaking though. Online speed is too high by default. I think for a better experience default gamespeed should be set at 46.

            Offline there is no doubt in my mind that with a good set of slider/roster this game will be the best ever and it won't even be close. If you have a PC with mods, there is no hesitation imo.

              Before edits. Yes. A big disappointment due to the cpu controlled teams behaviour. Bigs are rarely involved. The mid range/pull up game is severely lacking and the cpu struggles to run playbooks effectively causing it to go freelance mode which normally results in on of the ballhandlers forcing his way inside at all costs.

              After all the edits required to get improve the Cpu's behaviour. No. The game plays great.

                So you are condemning a game you have never played.

                  I have to disagree. There are several issues from previous games that have gone unaddressed, and several problems in terms of the horrible AI, specifically in the My Career mode.

                      If done right, it has potential to be really fun. It's more realistic than being able to control the actions of every player on your team. The problem is that the AI is so bad that it cripples the user.

                          After a while, most of the people who are enjoying the game don't really post...so that leaves (for the most part) the amateur game testers and the "everything's broken" guys to post...so don't be fooled by what you see on this forum...play the game for yourself...

                            Without a demo, playing the game oneself is a little tougher to pull off this year for folks who are on the fence about a full purchase. I think the impressions thread might be of assistance for those looking to get a feel for what 2K14 has improved upon and what has remained the same or regressed.

                            Speaking specifically to the original poster though, if NBA 2K12 is the last basketball game you've played, I think 2K14 will feel pretty fresh. A lot of the criticism this year seems to be that, aside from a few gameplay tweaks, the game is very similar to 2K13 (in regards to graphics, presentation, and features). But since you skipped over 2K13, I think you'll see the upgrades more easily than someone who played last year's iteration to death.
