NBA 2K14 Review (PS4/XBox One)

[Clarke99]

Best review so far, this game is hyped so much theres lots to like but overall there are some serious issues, lack of customization, weak player creator and other typical 2K stuff

[Shimoda]

you can play mycareer and mygm offline just fine....

But not with your custom roster...

[emelki1968]

Hi everybody? Has anybody encountered his problem: After trying to upload MyGM the screen freezes and you can't do anything, just turn off your PlayStation 4. Then, I tried to play again and I don't have any of the new features for MyGM. It is actually the same than last year. I though you can control a lot of aspect of your team. And There are not more cut scenes with my player. None!

[bballshawn24]

honestly its a 7.7. They need to patch some things

[RayCool]

The Customization issues are totally accurate. I mean It's one thing to not include certain customization features, but for "me" my issue stems from what they've removed from the game after the release day patch.

Prior to the patch, when editing rosters you could adjust a player's "leg length" and "torso length" separately, which allowed for realistic signature player body types. It was possible to replicate players like: Kevin Durant, Larry Sanders, and Dwight Howard with their long legs and small torso.

Post patch combined the two features into "body length", which doesn't allow you to make the legs/torso as long or short as desired. Why add such a great customization feature that helps to replicate real player body types and replace it with a second rate variation?

Please fix this 2K...

[Dr. Banner]

Great game....but same terrible 2k servers and VC almost ruins it.

[CoachDavid]

I have been playing on the Xbox one and love this game. The ecomotion fixes a lot of the kick balls and loss dribbles on the 360 version. The updated attribute system in my career is also a nice change. Also the ability to use points prior to the rookie showcase. The arm and torso length has finally allow me to make a rhondo or McGee.
I can't get the full play art to show unless I go in the game options every game and set them. Fouls are still managed in a broken way by the CPU.
On the bright side, kinect voice control finally works and it works well. No more timeouts call by the annoucers and my commands don't require me to yell. Now they need to add calling out picks and defensive rotations.
Also need a third person camera with no stylish panning.
This game is a classic. I have played online and its pretty good but that may be an Xbox thing.

I expected some references to VC in any terms. Instead it isn't even mentioned.

[rlb1976]

Can anyone confirm how bad the trade logic is in my gm? My purchase of current or next gen depends on it. If trades are all over the place I won't be able to stand it.

They need a commissioner mode. Where you can focus on your team or teams, but oversee everything else and veto stupid trades and make the trades/roster moves that happen in real life.

Re: NBA 2K14 Review (PS4/XBox One)

Is anybody making a basket on an "and one"? The last game I played, every time, out of at least 10 times when I get fouled on a shot attempt, the ball rolls off the rim.

[bxfinest15]

Everyone seems to be speaking on everything but one thing. How's the gameplay in MyPlayer/MyCareer? Are your teammates still useless and no help like in previous versions?

[noobkingpin]

does anyone know how to change the quarter length in my career for ps4?

[WarlordZMaster]

The game is great an 8.5, I dunno, maybe an 8 at best. Quite a few things have been stripped and for someone who spent a good bit of time with the original 2K14, these things are missed. Just played tonight and experienced some TERRIBLE AI logic. Dwight Howard had 5 fouls in the 3rd and it left him in? I had him out in 2 minutes.

[CoachDavid]

The team mates and ai are decent. The foul management has been broken for the last three years. If a player gets two fouls in the first quarter, they are removed from the game, only to return at the beginning of the second. Then they stay pretty much the rest of the game without regard to fouls. Last year fouls would remove the player from the starting lineup after the half. I am not sure if that is still the case. Also fouls seem to simply change a players position on the depth chart because I routinely seem to be subed as a power forward after getting extra fouls.
This seems like the most basic bit of programing,especially compared to the stellar defensive rotation or ai controlled player movement with and without the ball.
I played the demo of NBA live 14 on the one and am hope they will up(rewrite) the game to push 2k14 to fix these basic things. Don't get me wrong this game is great and the new control scheme has grown on me, I love 2k. I just played 2k13 for a year with the same loss camera setting defect and only 2 patches in a game which forces VC to enjoy a game which I played 60 bucks to buy.

Re: NBA 2K14 Review (PS4/XBox One)

how is the coaching logic in both mygm and my career? will starters be taken out if the game is a blowout in the 4th?
