What cameo settings is first pic, driving to the whole in tis version is the best ever
 
This is absolutely astounding. Best looking next gen game in my opinion. Mind boggling detail.

I don't even like basketball, but I'm going to have to play it!
 
The thing that really makes the difference to me is that every single player reactions. Most sports games only have the two players involved in the action reacting.
 
The most amazing thing in NBA 2k series is introduction of Playbooks ;).

HOLY SHIT IT ACTUALLY MAKES THE DIFFERENCE on how EACH TEAM PLAYS!

Can't wait for proper SIM mods taking care of them :D.
 
Default playbooks are not as bad as default stats and specially tendencies, they are terrible.
Once you custom your roster this game is fantastic.
From 2K11 to 2K13 I had plenty of fun, the 14 I'm still deciding where I will play.
 
I really love this game but i know nothing about basket. Want to play the association mode with a lesser known team. Can somebody give me a good suggestion ?
 
Lesser known but most likely awful this season? 76'ers.

Maybe try the Nuggets. They're probably a pretty fun team to do an association with. Raptors too.

Phoenix Suns, we used to be good.

In previous years the default playbooks (team and player) have been awful and they never updated them during the season.

info0 have you played with various teams?
 
Yeah, but mostly in "friendly" games.

Just to get the hang of the game.

At least on here, teams do play various styles even in Exhibition/Quick Game games.

But must say, even Utah which are rated 30th 30th 30th, can put up a surprise against those top 10 teams xD.

All depends on how you play though.

And I still suck at defense :LOL:.

A good team would be the former New Orleans Hornets, now called Pelicans. Plus, it's the land of Treme, right? What else can you ask for?

I liked playing coop with 2k13, hope some of you guys are up for it in the PS4 version.
 
The next gen press event is taking place now and the level of detail in the game is insane, I expect the same from MLB The Show when that's announced soon.

Aholbert32 attended the event and will post what he can, when he can. Follow him on Twitter. Hands-on impressions, etc. are coming soon from the event!
Check out the full details from the presser.
Graphics and New Engine
The first thing you need to know, NBA 2K14 is not a port. It has been built from the ground up for the new hardware with a new engine called "Eco Motion."
The game will feature much improved graphics, with additional details like leg tattoos, new celebrations, hairstyles, and facial hair.
2K will be focusing its efforts on four main pillars of gameplay: NBA Today, MyCAREER, MyTEAM, and MyGM.

All your NBA news connected on your console updated daily. This is all driven by Dynamic Living Rosters - which is adjust daily based on how players are performing in the real world.
Points of emphasis has been added to the game, which is a feature last saw in the old College Hoops franchise. No warmup outfit for bench players, but the crowds look much better. There are now less duplicates in the crowd. FYI the gameplay clip we saw was only 4 possessions.

Little imperfections of dirt on the backboard tells you all you need to know about the attention to detail. 2K built a material library. It looks like 2K took each arena and really upgraded them.
Details shown at scorers table. A thumbprint on a monitor is shown. Redid the scoreboards in each arena and the lighting in each arena, it is a small but definitely noticeable improvement.
Now showing off the new LED dynamic lighting system. Just stunning. Scoreboard lights are dynamic and showcase reflections.
2K actually measured the color temperature of lights and count the number of lights and manufacturer of lights.
2K now showcasing Kobe Bryant getting head scanned. Kobe hung around while they built his model and his reaction was "GTFO here"
Watching Lebron face map. Asking him to make intense faces. Can’t lie the game has his and Kobe’s face down. KD’s and Iguodala face maps. Both look great. Even have KD’s bad skin.
The team captured and head scanned constantly working around NBA schedules to capture nearly every player in the NBA. Hundreds of players with thousands of expressions you will see in the game. Showcasing art of those now. This is photo realism.
2K captured nearly every player in the NBA. Parker looks great. Have Amare haircut with brown streak. Ray Allen looks great.
Gameplay
Mike Wang is on and speaking about elevating the game harnessing the tech. Primarily in physics and animations. Foot planting clips shown.
Wang is talking about Ecomotion. Foot planting. No sliding or phantom steps. Showed difference between cur and next gen. It looks great. Really no sliding. Now showing dribbling. Ball actually rotates while dribbling which is not in current gen.
Now speaking to ball handling. Eco Motion allows them to track true physics. Ball spinning when dribbling, ball in hands. Tangible object.
New animation system. Guys will have real life wingspans. New KD shoes look great.
Mike speaks about animation synthesis, Eco Motion - based on physics and situation, animations will change. With animation synthesis, animations will change based on circumstances. If KD takes a shot and D is guarding him tight, anim will change on the fly.
The game feels alive. For example, a shooter won't land the same way two times. Animation will adapt to the situation. Truly incredible stuff here.
AI
Coaches will adapt to what is happening in the game. So game plans will dynamically change based on what other teams are doing.
Rob talks about points of emphasis. Every coach will have its own ai and strategize based on how the game is going.
There are nine different options on offense and defense to strategize how to defend or attack your opponent.
Emotion Plus
Emotion Plus will categorize all the players personalities. For example, Kobe is an Alpha Dog. He wants the ball, he's fierce.
"Human emotions translate into performance. Every player has personality, highs are highs, lows are lows."
Emotion plus is a new feature. Each player has a personality. Personality and game events can affect how a plot performs.

My GM is new franchise mode. Lots of RPG elements are in the next-gen game.
MyGM is a cerebral experience. Every decision changes the world around you. GM has attributes and special abilities.

YouTube - The next-generation of basketball is a lot like the last one

can't really wait... This looks astounding! NBA Live? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT?! EA Sports please abandon NBA franchise for good.
 
The funniest bit for me is JR Smith taking his usual stupid shot with lots of time left on the shot clock and Mike Woodson shaking his head.
 
I am glad they said, gameplay didn't change much from CG. Graphically however, it's hell a lot better than CG. The details are so good now, you can say it looks like real game! O_O.

One thing I wanted confirmed, no more players sliding. :)

Next year, I really hope, for NG treatment on PC. If not I will just throw money at PS4/XOne! :P.

Took me a while to get used to Pro Stick. Now I wouldn't be able to go back to previous controls :LOL:.

LA Lakers are beasts. I mean... Kobe is a beast... Aaaand Gasol... :D
 
Just played my most fun game yet. Association with the Bulls, played against the Heat in Chicago. The Heat were on an eight game winning streak, but they were without LeBron who was out with a broken arm. Beat them in over-time 91-93. :)
 
No custom music in the next gen versions :(
