NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

Re: NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

I'll just say I'm glad I kept my 360. I'll be playing a 30 team association with custom music and having a blast. I'll still get the next gen version for myPlayer. Don't why any myPlayer fan would not get the next gen version with all the improvements

Yeah I am definitely glad I grabbed the PC version, it will work great for my association. The gameplay and graphical improvements are too much to pass up, so I will get the ps4 version for quick games and my player.

Man, I still can't believe they made a so huuuuuge mistake. There must be an option in myGM settings which allow us to force transactions and edit other team players even if we are controlling just one team. It makes no sense at all that if they try to replicate reality in every sense in the game, they don't allow us to replicate a real season with real transactions and rotations.



I doubt they are have made the game THAT restrictive but seeing that the game has become more and more restricting year after year I don't what to think. It's definitely a no-go if they have done it.

I still hope we can edit players for the simple reason that the shoe creator is still in the game, and I doubt they add a shoe huge feature just to add them to my player.

Well SB you kind of took a load off my mind by letting me know that the shoe editior is in next gen, they have to still have the edit player feature if they kept the shoe maker. Right???

I have no need to upgrade to next-gen.
Almost all the games are carbon copies of current gen but with stripped down options. The graphics aren't even that big of a jump up.

For years we've been hearing developers cry how the current hardware isn't enough to match their genius.
Well if the earliest games are any indication, the developers are the ones that have kept games from reaching the next level.

Not confirmed but I don't think that it's in based on the tone of comments I received from devs.

If I can't run a season the way I would like to, this game loses a tremendous amount of value for me. Of course I will wait for details on MyGM, but I'm getting less and less anxious to drop $500 for the upgrade.

Having played next gen, do you feel that you will still find current gen enjoyable?

I never used the 30 team franchise but the way ppl are talking it may have been nice. I just GM it up. So the KuHN is what I like. As dir the sliding. My Dude, you mean to tell me you didn't see Bton slide, morph, or suction in to the defender soon a he got th ball and went into a triple threat? Come one. It's not the end of the world. But they still move unwarranted. I hope they don't still suck into each other whilst dribbling and and defenders close on you. Good article. Game looks good. I like the haircut with the stars, I wonder how many haircuts are available. And beards. I gotta hs e the Ricky rozay beard.

Seeing what they did with MyGM I wouldn't put my hand in the fire, but I hope so.

This all is a shame man, because the game looks awesomely beautiful.

Re: NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

I still can't believe this is real. It's not game breaking nor will it stop me from getting my Basketball Jones on for this year. But it will effect my experience a great deal. I'll dread the stupid AI moves, rotations and signings.

I like to keep my Association realistic and I'm afraid this is taking that away from me. Here's hoping there is a work around and 30 team control comes back for 2K15 as a "new addition".

I'm a 2k guy but this is why we need competition. If the other guy has this and showed something great I would have no doubt in my mind that Association/GM mode would be able to have a 30 team control scheme next year.

Re: NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

People at my job are asking why I have a long face and i'm like something bad happened. They are like OMG is everything okay? I said yeah. They are like whats wrong?

"They took the most important elemEnt out of a basketball game in nba 2k14 which is NO NBA REGULAR SEASON MODE". How am I going to replicate the nba season?

They laughed out loud telling me i'm too passionate about my sports games. They dont even know. I know for a fact im keeping my cg version. Just dont know if im going to buy ng at the moment but eventually will just to show off the prettiness to my friends. I am bummed out at work.

Just Think of It....

If NBA2k14 have all the features from the old version and add all of the features they introduce today, what features you'll expect to NBA 2K15 and so on? improved graphics and presentation? then you'll say "NOTHINGS NEW JUST IMPROVED GRAPHICS ETC"...

Re: NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

MYPLAYER is all I care about and it sounds great. Looking forward to more details on that!

And that seems to be the route this franchise is going. I hope I'm wrong. But they are shunning a part of the community by removing a very popular feature.

I will. The graphics are a jump but not so big that I will hate current gen. We will see when I get home tonight and play current gen but I don't think it will be an issue. Also I have no choice if I want to play association.

Re: NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

As a basketball casual gamer, that enjoys online leagues, I'm actually more optimistic about MyGm going forward, than something like CCM/CFM. I'm admittedly bias of 2k due to my impressions of their products but I'm fine with the solo MyGM INITIALLY and then expanding it to multi player next year.

While I generally agree that I never want to see features removed IF it's possible to avoid, I think the ideal time to do so is with the release of a newly built game, on new consoles. Most people have NBA2k14 current gen to get their multi team Association fix and the biggest crossover for most basketball gamers to next gen consoles and games will be next year.

I'm really interested to see just how fleshed out this MyGM mode is, with video highlights from other games in your league and I'm salivating at the thought of something like that being expanded out to multi player with online capability next year or the year after.

Umm idk? An improved Next Gen gameplay system? To take away a mode or a feature just to label it new is a very bad move. Especially if you did it once and saw how upset people were. I don't care if you are the other company or 2K. You don't do things like that. You could still have Association and then have GM Mode.

I was actually nervous about the whole MYplyaer craze taking over the entire game, just didnt think it would happen so soon. 2k really needs to come through with more details about this new MYGM mode quick becuase they seem to be losing customers due to lack of knowledge about what it includes, telling us whats not included but nothing else wasnt a good idea it seems.
