I have stated in other threads the thing that annoys me is:

u can't tell how much stamina ur guys have when u sub UNLESS u take an actual timeout. that's bullshyt.
the d-pad also doesn't show me my stats like how 2k13 patched it in
I dont like using O to call screens. the L1 button was much better for a quick pick n roll.


since I use the square to shoot, I'm not having trouble with the shot stick. but it is harder to pull off moves this season with the analog stick than it was last year. that's for sure.

also, I dont know why they change the hop step from O to tapping the square button. now u have the square button controlling the hop step, shot, and pump fake. thats a little too much IMO.

lol I still rock with 2K11 (Best bball game I've ever played)
Give companies your money unconditionally, brehs

2K11 was the best.. imagine that game engine with these graphics

real shyt. 2k11 is the pinnacle of this series. they should have quit fukking with the gameplay after that and focused on other issues, such as online and what not.

:gag: @ How they baby-fied My Player in 2K12 (One showcased and high ratings)

Goin' through those 4 games, all the drills, etc., made it feel real

Yea, you started off a bit low on rating(40), but, change that and it's good

Then, change the every-team-fires-their-coach-every-year (:laugh: every year, yo)

Change the salary cap (:laugh: I've had random years were KD, Blake & Bosh sat out the year because they didn't get signed)

Now, I reading 2K done turned to NBA Ballers and they got you paying Virtual Money for chains and earrings :laugh:

man, I just started my career last night. but I had been playing offline so much against the cpu and against my daughter that, when I started, I already had 10K in VC stacked so I was able to quickly upgrade.

but the VC system is beyond retarded. I know they are trying to nickel and dime, but I'm not spending 2000 VC for a fukking suit. I'll just rock the clown suit thats free in the game.

I only spend VC to upgrade my player. I'll NEVER pay for some kinda accesory until the day I'm just maxed out and got extra VC to waste.

this games Micr transactions is the biggest FU in gaming history. fukk this game, fukk my player and fukk 2ksports


This will be the future of gaming on all platforms and big name titles unfortunately. Blame the morons that enable the makers of candy crush to make millions per day on microtransactions. There is no way game manufacturers will sit back and ignore those profits when other companies spending far less money on R&D will make 10 ten times the profit.

Gaming is a business. As long as people continue to clamour for the most sophisticated graphics and top notch production, be prepared to pay up.

2k11 had its flaws too. The crazy lead passing, power dunks, spin dunks overpowered, the post game was wack(had to hold l2 and r2). I wish they woulda kept the signature shots they had from 2k11 tho, u really had to learn everyone's release to play that game.

With that said 2k14 on NG is still the best 2k gameplay wise ever. It's the most balanced game 2k has ever released.

- that bullshyt where im going for a steal and my player bytches out and intentionally fouls.

- online play is quirky as fukk

- no OA :damn:

- the controls were perfected last gen, why the fukk would they change them?

- no being able to skip them :flabbynsick: mycareer cutscenes (and why did Kyrie Irving charge me up after not passing to him once... this nikka pushed me on the way to the locker room, i wanted to sock the fukk outta that lil bastid)
- it seems like holding ANY direction on the right joy too long causes your player to shoot, so fking
- myplayer. u call for the ball and you're open, but you get a penalty for making a bad call. then instead of passing to you while your open, the computer will wait till a nikka is on your ass, pass you the ball in traffic, or throw up some trash shot for no reason.

TBH i like 2k14 because its possible to block dunks and it looks good, gameplay is aight but it seems like we lost control of a lot of little shyt.
