There were just not enough positives to convince me to buy. I doubt there will be much of a change hands on but of course we'll try the demo as the last test. All in all I been playing nba 2k since inside drive but this game is just getting to clunky and sloppy to me. It doesnt look real enough to me and im not talking about graphics. Hopefully next gen will look and move different but Im really not seeing it looking much different than for what it is now.

Yes but in My Player it's not a problem since you can control it, and the CPU doesn't throw up an unrealistic number of 3's and make them.

If you are playing online and 3 point shooting is a problem in this regard then you are probably shooting too many 3's per game and a quick game player who is just there to have fun and realism isn't the biggest concern anyway.

I wish they would have shown the 'manuals escape dribbles' if I can call it that. Branching a move with a jumper. We're yet to see it.

Is there a gameplay dev insight coming?

It is too bad that they also did not show how their teams cpu-contolled players branch into different sets within the play-calling system.

Lots of little things could have been highlighted in this video instead of focusing on Steve Nash arguing referee calls or Coach antics on the sidelines.

Any number of in-depth insights would be very welcomed in the following weeks. As others, I missed those from a few years back. They are much more welcomed then the current marketing scheme with guys on utube.

Better Qs, is there any indepth insight comming ? Do they want to go the uncertainty of Maddens route ?

While I can appreciate enough to make me want to buy 2k14 CG (at least had I not had my PS3 damaged for good and had I not had money limitations that made me decide to only go NG), the untrainned eye of the majority (primary on OS but you could tell the same of casuals by looking at most comments of the youtoubers and other sites) is clearly not noticing the effort that was put in to make this game way more than a 2k13.5.

So, it is extremely confusing and irrational how things are been handled, I mean, while 2K would still be the sole ruler of CG NBA videogames (no competition, at all), they are severely risking how they do on sales by not propperly showcasing CG, more than a few, upgrades/fixes/additions.

How come havent we seen any "indepth" (like they used to be pre 2k12) insights ? How come havent we seen any videos with highlights of many blocked dunks ? Of the new man to man cover ? Of the (rolling instead of ball handler) defense ? Of the new fancy passes ? Of the new controls ? Of the new (brought backs too) modes ? Of a true sim vs sim gamers gameplay video ? Comparison videos of 2k13 vs 2k14 ?

If even us, sim ballers and hardcore are doubtfull (yet I am not, but I recognize I am within the minority) of CG 2K14 not been worth the buy, one can educately guess, casuals are even more. All of the above things that they used to do at some point accomplish clear goals and target specific markets.

There are certaintly 3 weeks left for the game to release and for the company to bombard us with lots of info, then again, given the unique conditions surrounding this itineration, I cant but to blame the marketing strategy rather than devs doings (or lack of it) or new consoles launch, if sales experience a drop. Hopefully that doesnt happen and 2K keep getting in a better financial position due to yet again, improved earnings (so they can invest more on the game, on us, like better servers, hire more devs and raise their pay, better engine, etc) ... for now, hope they do deliver indepth info of both CG & NG.

At 10.03 of the video you can see Kobe doing a sort of a signature low on his legs type of walking animation. Maybe they gave it to every players but that's a thing he did a lot last season. That's really Kobe like. I hope they've added signature stuff like that.

waiting for next gen information. Current gen doesnt look like it will be worth 60 dollars.
