    NBA 2K14 Review (PS4/XBox One)


    <small>Next-gen basketball is here, to (mostly) good results.</small>

    It’s tough to have any expectations coming into this new generation of consoles. Seven years ago we all had high expectations, and for sports gamers, it turned out to be arguably the biggest let down in the history of sports gaming. But this time it truly is different.

    NBA 2K14, with its flaws, is ushering in a new generation of sports games.

    But even more importantly, a sports game – yes, a sports game – is ushering the entire generation with graphics that can truly be considered next-gen. But a game isn’t defined by only what you see, as NBA 2K14 is also quick to let you know.

        I think the VC thing extends to the park as well.. they are trying to sell overpriced VC clothes and looking for even more potential microtransactions, instead of a mode long desired by the fans like 2K11 style crew where VC may be harder to implement. I thought the park sounded like a bad idea from the start but hopefully they can make it at least playable soon. I don't think it's fair to blame PS4 for the online at all, all my other games run online fine.

        Running plays is pretty glitched too, you have to use 76ers playbook just to customize (thankfully you can at all though) but on the negative there have been a few times I've had to call plays multiple times because my guys will just stand there and not run it. Same with calling standard screens too although that glitch happens slightly less.

        Hopefully they get some of it worked out, the game looks and plays pretty well

            Hit online on the spot. I hate playing against the A.I and if this game didn't play as well as it did I would probably not play it at all offline. I will say that the few games I was able to play online were pretty much lag free. They almost felt like offline games. Get working on those servers 2k.

              I'm a little disappointed this review didn't touch on the lack of 30 team control or trade logic in mygm. As a sim gamer I want the rosters to be as accurate as possible the first season especially so I always control all the teams. I've been waiting for this review to decide on whether to purchase 2K14 on current or next gen and it wasn't the help I was hoping it would be. I've heard the trade logic is pretty bad so it's looking like I gotta stick with current gen to get the experience I want.

                I'm really surprised there was no mention of the online roster fiasco. This was a really bad design decision. You have to upload your rosters and then you have to download them before every game. No good. It's especially bad for a team like the Suns that have four wrong players on the team including a starter.

                  8.5!!!...I don't know about all that with all the things that are with this game. If judging just quick play I can understand but the game as a whole don't think so.

                        The trade logic is My GM is pretty bad. They just need an option to turn it off, because it's a fantasy draft by the time the playoffs begin.

                            I hate the controls. We need an alternative (I have one in my blog) and if they're going to commit to the right stick for dribbling, put them all on there... I'm still doing moves with the left stick that I don't mean to do and it will result in a cross then hesitation when all I wanted was a crossover, truly annoying. Oh and shooting hook shots behind the basket is automatic, that has to go.

                              I have both a PS4 and XB1 hooked up to the same TV (Sharp 60").

                              The one major difference I notice that I am surprised no review does is the XB1 version is much duller in cold. (Actually all games).

                              The PS4 seems much more colorful and brighter..


                              Graphics card difference.

                              Defective XB1 ?

                              Anyone else notice?
