NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Review (IGN)

12:04 AM - November 12, 2013 by Steve_OS

IGN has posted the first NBA 2K14 next-gen review, giving it an 8.9 out of 10. In The Park, players can take their MyCAREER player into 2-on-2 half-court, 3-on-3 three-quarter-court, or 5-on-5 full-court games, unfortunately there is no sign of CREW or leagues within the mode.

They mention the MyCAREER voice acting is kind of cheesy, especially considering your player will have audio included, but the people you talk to mostly have subtitles.

In the video review, it looks like warm-ups are confirmed to be back in (for those of you worried about that from earlier videos), the graphics and animations are jaw-dropping, complete with native 1080p and 60 FPS.

Ronnie2K and LD2K will be streaming next-gen NBA 2K14 at 4:00 PM PST today, so we should be able to see and hear even more. For those that are curious, the OS review will be up a week or so after we receive the game. Nobody on staff will have a PlayStation 4 until the 15th.

People post critiques because they want the game to get better in the future. That's how it works. If you don't want to read that and assume every critique is "hating", you might want to avoid internet game forums all together.

Lol i said some negative stuff earlier then i get flamed for it no thanks.

True, I think

Knowing 2K, the subtitles would say something like..

"You do not require the necessary mental toughness to live how I do."

Your options to reply would be...

A.) Request GM for trade
B.) Respond Negatively: "Whatever, Demarcus"
C.) Respond Postively: "Yes sir, i'll get you the ball"
D.) Ignore text

With a renegade interrupt option available to fill his car up with tampons or something.

Wouldn't this be the Paragon option?

Not feeling the Warriors arena colors. They're pretty off-- the yellow is too dark and orange and the blue isn't dark enough. Cur-gen had them right finally.

Patch? Please please please.

What's weird is it looked fine in the Real Voices trailer. Is IGN reviewing/showing off an old build (they also have a non-skinny Rose)?

It's a lot closer than that dull orange in the IGN review.

I always say that the people just blindly asking for new engines without:

1. Knowing what an true "engine" means.
2. Knowing absolutely nothing about the implementation of a game's "engine".

Were ignorant and knew nothing about software development.

I would guess a court that is 75% the length of a regulation NBA court.

like many others have said, it is odd to me that the game is an improvement on the current gen version, yet it got a lower score. i guess their logic was that it's next gen, so there should've been a bigger leap and a bigger difference in gameplay...still doesn't make sense though. a "9" is a "9", no matter what version it is.

you can't really go by a photo, or a TV screenshot for color accuracy. color varies greatly depending on the camera settings, television settings, the network, your own personal television's color...you can't just pick a random photo and say that is the definitive color of a certain player or uniform. also, a lot of photos get edited and photographers change the colors and brightness in order to make their photos more interesting...so just because it's a photo, that doesn't mean you're seeing the "true-to-life" color.

Jimmy Butlers jump shot lookin good @ 3:38, I wish his jump shot was like that on current gen

# 276 dre2 @ 11/12/13 04:57 PM

IGN is generally such a terrible review site, I just watch their reviews for the video footage...if it wasn't for all niche sites like this and good review blogs etc. I may never trust a game review, those dudes at the giant corporate sites aren't allowed to bad-mouth companys that pay them tons of money in advertising.

# 277 Brooke2011 @ 11/12/13 06:02 PM

As far as voices in my career( my player), they are already at 43 gb . To put voices for every scenario would be maxing it out.

Prob the more familiar they are with the technology then will they be able to incorporate more info.

My thoughts exactly. Next gen should be held to a higher standard and while it's better, there could still be improvements.
