Re: Next-Gen NBA 2K14 Impressions (PS4 Version)

I can do Shammgods with Uncle Drew? That takes this to a whole nother level for me, I need this game.

60fps makes everything soooooo much better. Players feel like they have weight, you are no longer gliding across the floor, contextual animations makes the game feel organic. The foot planting makes me wonder what in the world we were playing before.

On the streams it looks the same, but playing it, it feels so different/better than CG. Definitely not a port by any means.

I agree. Everything about it is sooo smooth. I can react to the ball better.

Does anyone in here live in Greenpoint/Park slope, Brooklyn? Just saying... I'd leave in the morning. Especially if your looking for some hum vs hum matches.

LOL my man jeebs.

Reading all this is great. My stupid Amazon delivery is estimated for Tuesday. This waiting is killing me. 2K is just sitting over there on the shelf looking at me, taunting me.

Stay classy. Leave Live out of this man. This is the 2K forum.

Off the top of my head, these are the guys that have a shammgod: Kyrie, cp3, tyreke, gallinari, Shannon brown, and I think Manu. There are 3 sig variations. While driving, hold R2(RT) and tap RS toward the hoop to do it.

Another little tidbit. Bank shots are controllable again. RS toward the basket on J's

I went into practice mode before reading this and kept doing it without any remote idea what I was pressing.

But with that said, I'm noticing that Kyrie feels a LOT different from other point guards. His Shammgods look true to life because of his footwork while handling the ball.

And being a strong dribbler myself, I'm using a lot of my own principles in the game now and I've cut down on a lot of loose ball occurrences.

Game looks 10xbetter than any stream we saw. Huge jump over current gen. Players have weight! I had Birdman and couldn't keep up with Tony Parker at all. Animations look good too. Definitely not a port gameplay wise.

It feels like a new game graphics wise but plays very similar to CG with some noticeable gameplay improvements.

Pros:
-AI is more alert on the defensive end. Westbrook was hounding Curry as soon as he crossed half court. And it's also harder to make the cross court pass for quick threes.
-Minor animations refinements are small but noticeable. Dribbling, stumbles, hussle plays, and in-between plays are nicely improved.
-Lighting on court and players is unreal. (Remove the icons and you can probably fool a passer by that you are watching a real game.)
-I tried Remote Play and stayed on it for 3hrs. I noticed slight lag at times but in general it serves it's purpose. (Also, controls are a little tricky since the turbo (R2) and (L2) is in the touch pad.)
-most animations are buttery smooth! Love the steady 60FPS.

Cons:
-Color palette used on some of the courts is off a little. The yellow are a tad too on the orange side and the reds are too much on the pink side.
-Passing animations at times look dated. They can still be refined to be a bit more fluid.
-Halftime interviews are kept to 2-3 sentences. (Would have liked to see a little longer.)
-No warm up unis.

No buyers remorse at all! Will be playing nightly following the NBA Today.

My install has been at 46% for about 10 minutes and the disc is being very loud in my system. I have read it takes awhile, but should I be worried?

Grab a controller and head on over.

I should probably add some impressions.

I wasn't too impressed with the direction they took the current gen version of 2k14. The game felt a bit unfinished to me, as if they couldn't get the features they wanted to in in their entirety. Don't get me wrong - great game but not what I expected.

This is a monster so far. Completely worth the price of admission to next-gen. Hype is all I can provide at the moment. Once the luster wears off I can provide more.

Mines is stuck at 56% I am very pissed at this. Only thing I can play is quick game.

@Ferweezy is your game very loud also? I am getting annoyed and worried. Not sure what to do.
