I am especially let down by the MyCareer mode. I really wanted this mode to be made fun and it really needed some attention this year. It did not receive that attention. Just want to emphasize if you own 2k13 and don't have a lot of money, 2k14 is not worth $60 at this point. The gameplay tweaks are minor and hardly change the game from 2k13. Redbox has it so just do a search on their website for redbox's near you that have it and try it out.
The Association and MyCareer are identicle to last year's game. MyCareer desperately needed an overhaul. The Lebron mode is stupid, who cares about the hypothetical future of Lebron? Bring back a classic mode. The gameplay has some tweaks and improvements. I've been a huge NBA2k fan since dreamcast and this is the only year I've been let down. Quite a disappointment.
It was short but it kept me enthralled from start to finish. I played it all the way through in one sitting, and I haven't been gripped like that for a while. It's a good piece of story-telling. For WHAT IT IS, I would give it an 8.0. It's short, but worth the trip.
I play almost all the major sports games and as far as customization, gameplay, user interface and just plain quality I think that the NBA2k series has been the best for years and years. That is why I have them all the way from 2k on the dreamcast up until this year. Yet I only buy a football game every couple of years because it tends to be the same game with an updated roster. FIFA, I think, is the only other sports series on par as far as quality goes.
Also, why doesn't EA fix the madden interface already? It's clunky, poorly organized and just plain slow. It overcomplicates and drags out things that should be simple and respond quickly. They could learn a lesson from the 2k series in that regard.
YES!!!! Thank god, feels like forever since Deadly Shadows. Don't even get me started on The Dark Project and Thief 2. Amazing series and seriously under appreciated. Very exciting. Bring Garrett back to town!
