NBA 2K14 to Feature Euroleague Teams

Don't know if anyone else noticed, but it looks like they are all wearing the UnderArmour Micro G Torch, except it has no UnderArmour logo. Is this possibly the new generic shoe in 2k???

May I ask what makes this "another" nail in the coffin?

To me, this is simply a "back-of-the-box" feature that probably doesn't hold much weight with the casual fan or gamer.

"LOOK! You can play as 14 Euroleague teams featuring NBA/college has-beens and Euro stars you've never heard of!"

To me, that doesn't really say, "Man, that puts it head-and-shoulders above NBA Live"; it's almost equivalent to the Legends roster in terms of usefulness.

Now, if it's integrated into Association and MyCareer (or Path to Greatness or whatever it is), and NBA Live DOESN'T have a similar feature, then yeah I could see it as SOMEWHAT of a "nail in Live's coffin".

But hey, I guess there are some people who are REALLY looking forward to playing as Georgios Printezis...it's a cool FEATURE, but it's not earth-shattering stuff like some in here seem to think.

I would rather see, at least, 1 classic team for all the teams in the NBA so I can do a legit Classic Association before I get to play quick games with Unicaja Málaga. And in NO way does this mean "another nail in EA's coffin". No shot. I can only assume that 75% of the people who buy NBA2k are in the USA, and I can assume that 95% of those people don't care at all about Euroleague. I guess that is just my opinion, but I will say if they integrate it in with association mode, that will be pretty interesting.

same here....

As an European living in USA this makes me very happy. I wasn't going to buy the game this year, after buying NBA 2K since the first one - I can't care less about Lebron's career-, but this news can change my decision. However, after reading an interview to a 2K representative in a Spanish videogame website I am a little concern. The reason is that it looks like so far the teams are only going to be for a quick play game. What?! That is worthless in my opinion. To create the stadiums, the teams, the rules, etc. and then just be able to play in a regular game doesn't make too much sense. Don't you think?

I wish there weren't Generic shoes, honestly. It shouldn't be hard to look up the brand every player is under and, at the very least, assign them the latest shoe from that brand.

Not every player has a shoe endorsement, and even less so in Europe. I don't blame them for not looking up what 500+ players have for shoes and assigning the proper ones.

Shoes do not make the player, and even less so, this videogame.

hmm hopefully we have other voice options for myplayer....if they finally added players from the Euro-league that should be a given...right guys? right?

This is pretty cool... can these players from the Euroleague become available for the NBA draft in the game? If so that would be a pretty cool addition.
