Still at work, PC version should be waiting for me at home. GTA Online Launch probably killed most of the anticipation for this...

Operation Sports gave it an 8.5. Called it the GOAT...

I’ll be as straightforward as possible: NBA 2K14 is the best basketball video game simulation ever made and I’ve played them all from the 2K series, to NBA Live, to NBA Inside Drive and every College Hoops game in between. No other basketball game captures the feel and strategy of an NBA game like NBA 2K14.

The biggest gameplay additions are the new blocking engine, increased contact in the paint, better CPU AI and “2K Smart Play.”

All of these additions sound small but they actually play a big role in this year’s improved gameplay. Blocks were pretty much non-existent in last year’s game and when they did occur it was typically unrealistic. I played hundreds of games last year and I found it pretty much impossible to get a multiple block game with a dominant defensive player like Dwight Howard or Marc Gasol.

Every game and every team feels different and I found myself actually having to strategize to stop teams. For example against the Grizzlies, I found myself getting killed inside because I refused to play off their guards (Conley and Allen) and let Gasol and Randolph work one on one against my big men. The AI had no problem with constantly feeding Gasol and Randolph in the post and using Conley’s speed to blow past my guards. For the first time ever, I had to use the defensive matchup screen to adjust how my team defended an AI team.

For those of you who still have NBA 2K13, I want you to pop the game into your game console. Now after you do that, I want you to look at 2K13’s presentation and imagine what it would look like if the game removed Jay-Z.

You’ve now seen exactly what 2k14’s presentation elements are. The halftime show is the same. The post game/player of the game is the same. Even the scoreboard is the same. From a presentation perspective, the look and feel of the game is exactly the same as 2k13.

NBA 2K14 is a true test of how genuine the typical Operation Sports visitor is. OSers love to say, “What I’m most concerned about is gameplay!” and “Gameplay trumps everything.”

What you have with NBA 2K14 is the best gameplay I’ve ever played but it’s in a game with limited feature improvements and graphics that haven’t improved in about two years.

It was Sweater vest giveaway at the Toyota Arena:manny:

Seriously though.. do we have to wait till PS5 and Xbox2 to get better crowds... WITH BLACK PEOPLE.

I'm starting to think NBA 2k series is less B-ball sim and more Mass Effect Scifi in that it is a game that pits the last remaining Black humans on the planet against genetically modified Caucasian homo sapiens in an ancient game called basketball.

Which would explain damn near NO black people in the stands...

Every see the team up games at the rucker? Look at the crowd... AT THE RUCKER :why:
