NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

If 2k Shows another hoop screenshot, you know what to do next year. Call them out on it. This gen of sports game has TERRIBLE marketing. We should demand more. If they hide like they have been hiding this year, next year then there is no reason to invest in it. Playing like CG is fine for a first year iteration, but as we move forward, it must evolve...DRAMATICALLY. People that suffer from 2k fatigue will skip this game and maybe give the competition a chance. No worries there, but that game has to step it up as well.

The months and weeks leading up to this game, have been unmatched. The potential for this game was high! but it undelivered in terms of translating it into gameplay. But that's a good thing about potential, it puts the idea in your head and there is a strong possibility of executing the idea.

I'm glad it came back down to earth. I was tired of the fanboys religiously defending this game, their marketing, and saying otherwise ridiculous comments to justify their purchase or ridicule the logic of a person that questions the gameplay.

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

I actually thought it was a fair and honest review....at the very least the guys a fan of basketball/ basketball video games...

At least it's not Gamespot, where the guy is saying "I admittedly don't know much about hoops" during the review...

Sure, it was a decent review. I'm not complaining about an 8.9 score. I'm just saying that I don't believe people should base their purchase off of review sites such as IGN/Gamespot.

But yeah, that was pathetic.

Re: So An Improved, Deeper Game Goes From 9.3 to 8.9?

Re: So An Improved, Deeper Game Goes From 9.3 to 8.9?

Well, modes were taken out and it's the first 2K title on NG, they can't really give it much higher. 8.9 is still "great", according to IGN.

Also, this is IGN, I'd look out for Metacritic's score instead after release. Or better yet, form your own opinion.

To be fair, CG's 9.3 rating was a bit high to begin with.

I'd give the games, based on IGN and my own opinions;
CG: 8.9
NG: 9.1

That is extremely fair and I would tend to agree with almost everything you said.

However about modes being taken out,

Modes were also added.

• The Park replaces Crew
• MyGM replaces Association
• MyCareer is overhauled
• The only mode missing is LBJ Mode

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

Y'know, I'm not knocking IGN on giving next gen an 8.9, because that's still a great score, but I wouldn't base my purchase over an IGN/Gamespot/GameTrailers, etc review. I just don't think the majority of those reviewers are very accurate when it comes to reviewing sports games. That's just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure that same guy that did this review also did the IGN rewind for the trailer 2K put out a month ago, and I forgot exactly what he said, but he made a blatant mistake that proved he didn't know much about basketball.

With that said, Friday can't come soon enough.

Trust me, OS score is not going to be any higher. The 8.9 was gracious. I expect it to mirror what it got for current gen

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

lol at all of you thinking you can give a better review then IGN. All of you are bias and would rate the game a 10 and not even see the flaws he pointed out.

Re: So An Improved, Deeper Game Goes From 9.3 to 8.9?

I know there is a thread for the IGN review but this is completely ridiculous.

2K14 on the PS4 is admittedly (by IGN) improved upon in every way from current gen and they review it 0.4 below the original score?

WTF

This is why IGN is completely unsuited to review anything sports-related.

Not really, one is a current gen title and the other is a next gen title.... For example, if next gen 2k14 was a current gen release, it probably receive a 10 and if the current gen version was a next gen title, it probably be rated really low...

Put it like this, if no one here brought 2k14 current gen, next gen is a no brainer must buy.... Same goes to people who actually brought the CG versions and enjoyed it

I really do not give a crap about marketing when im only a few days from playing the game

This is the realest problem. I have played FIFA 14 on PS4 already.

Its literally exactly the same. The physics are improved and the graphics are (a little).

Re: So An Improved, Deeper Game Goes From 9.3 to 8.9?

It's the same reviewer. I don't get it either...maybe being that it's next gen, it's held to a different standard? I really don't know, since he had basically nothing but praise for it. His biggest gripes were the cheesy myCareer mode (which has always been kinda cheesy, but understandable), the loose ball physics (which sound like an improvement, if you ask me), some clipping, and the disorganized parts of Park mode.

Re: So An Improved, Deeper Game Goes From 9.3 to 8.9?

I think people get too hung up on the score. It sounded like a pretty good review if you just listen to it. And was it the same reviewer. I watched the FIFA review and it was clear that the reviewer felt it was only a port, yet gave it a 9.1.

Maybe the reviewer took points off for certain issues and gripes. Again, an 8.9 is nothing to complain about.

I have to agree here

I mean he gave us the patrick speech (spongebob) The "look at it, look at it!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwKFec9th0U starts at 1:30 if you wanna see what I mean lol.

Anyway, he said its a no brainer to get, I dont agree with him about the ball physics but I see where he is coming from (basically KD got ripped in a crowd of defenders which is very likely)

Still doesn't change the fact that modes were taken out. If they were kept and modes were added along with a more robust multiplayer it would have certainly scored higher.
