RIP LIVE, 2k14 came to play, play to win! Competition on next gen has made 2k team step it up! Love it! Between this and FIFA, I will be happy, and hopefully madden will be solid, not expecting ground breaking.
Are there negative emotion badges? Like "Stage Fright"-- tendency to be inconsistent under pressure.
Or mixed emotion badges like "Irrational Confidence"-- not phased as much under pressure, must get constant shot opportunities to stay involved, loses morale when passing from a shot opening better than C+, and shot meter will always read A+?
How early did IGN review the game anyway? I doubt they got to experience all the features and gameplay mechanics that the game had to offer in just a few days.
This is the stuff all sports games need to add. It's a real life thing that can help sports games be more dynamic and less repetitive. As long as it's added in properly and in a non cheating way, it can do wonders for a game. I've been wanting this in NHL for years.
Anyway NBA looks unreal. I'm not a fan of the NBA at all but if I somehow come across a PS4 the next couple days this will be the game I buy. It just looks insane and what a Next Gen game should look like. It's really pumping me up to see what The Show looks like with even more dev time than what NBA had. The only other game I'd want is FIFA but I have that for 360 and I'm pretty content with it because all of these EA Sports games just look like ports. Pretty sickening considering what NBA 2k has done.
What's sad is that it's a little over a month into the hockey season and even though I watch the NHL every single day, I'm playing NBA 2k13 when I game. That's how bad EA NHL is right now. NBA 2k and The Show are just on other planets when it comes to work ethic and communication from the dev teams and overall quality. I wish a company could provide the same for a hockey game.
