I wonder if the importance of a game plays a part. Maybe you can have more emotional games.

For example, Andrew Wiggins, or your MyCareer player, is making his first start in the NBA; you're going to have some nerves and force some stuff, or maybe just go off and stay in the zone - depending on your emotion rating.

Just trying to see how broad this feature can get.

I saw some of the personality badges during the live stream yesterday, they said there are games of importance.

Playoff Games
Rivalry Games
Games against old team
Hometown games.

The personality badge is called Primetime. Guys with this badge will shine in the big games posted above. Pretty cool feature.

So does this mean I can call a timeout to settle everyone down or someone in particular? I remember there was a photo of coach points of emphasis during timeouts but I forgot what they were.

If all of the things I read in this thread aren't in, I hope 2K is reading this for 2K15. If these things become a part of the game, EA just needs to make NBA Street again so we can have a sim and an arcade game on next gen.

Hopefully this is something that can be turned on or off in the settings menu.... Because I can see myself getting pissed if this costs me in a key game where as NBA players they should be locked in from start to finish, no matter if the stars are getting the majority of the shots. But I gotta admit the feature does sound cool.

I doubt if you did miss a shot that cost you the game that you'd know it was because the guy was rattled. And even if you did, that's real. In real life NBA players aren't locked in from start to finish.

There are a TON of points of emphasis you can choose from. You can choose 1 offense, 1 defense & 1 flex. They range from things like "Shoot at Will", "Key on a specific player", "Pick & Roll", "crash the boards", "play the shooters", etc.

Pretty sure you can adjust these on the fly as well but it WILL change the way your team is playing on the court. In the Live stream game after Chris made some changes to his points of emphasis his team played a different way and started playing better.

With all this foot planting and emotions implemented into the game I hope u can finally play position basketball and take CHARGES cause we all know those are high points of emotions and game changers both for offenses and defenses

If only 2k14 had couch co-op in association, it'd be a first day buy.

I may end up picking it up during a sale.

Re: NBA 2K14: Emotion Plus

They didnt say anything about a better momentum system, even though we can assume that...... I wouldnt say that the bs from last year does not exist until I actually play. They are talking about individual players being effected. They did not say anything about the whole team being effected. I have to see for myself to know the exact components. Wouldnt get hyped and assume something only to be disappointed my friend.

Nonetheless this is a nice touch that I dig

Actually what I meant was it sounds like a better streak system and how players are connected might turn it to a better, more natural momentum system, although it's really a chemistry system (which momentum partly simulates).

Plenty of players aren't locked from start to finish. That's why the stars are the stars.

Also this feature makes building the right team around a star even more realistic and important-- one star is not going to be happy with another star jacking up shots and getting no touches. Chemistry is actually going to matter. See last year's Lakers.

So will the emotion rating finally matter?

Good question! I never understood it's meaning in CG. It's description is "reaction to calls" or somethin' like that but the only area I could think of that this would have any effect on the game is complaining to the refs after a no call or and not getting back on D. -Shrugs-

I just gonna be really nice in MyGM to finally have personalities on the court. All this is gonna be a blast years down the road with generated rookies. Maybe we can scout players attitudes...?
