While it’s grown up from its arcade-like roots, it’s a game that relies on smart players making smart choices. NBA 2K14 is a paced to real life basketball game. It’s the same control scheme from its last gen siblings, and it’s hard to find too many faults, even if it seems like 2K can’t quite make up their mind on a number of the control aspects for the game. This aspect of the game has not been overhauled. The enhanced visuals are soundly supported by the best-in-class gameplay that’s made 2K the first choice (the only choice for a few years now) of basketball fans. When you couple these more realistic players on the court, and an improved presentation, you get a better basketball game across nearly every game mode.

They make emotional responses to actions on the court, and this game is a stickler for the finer details. They’ve got the signature moves and styles that let you identify them with ease. Players are more lifelike, they’ve got more personality, they look more like themselves. They’ve been making great looking games for almost the entirety of the previous generation, but none of them hit the same emotional pitch that a single game of NBA 2K14 on next-gen consoles can. Maybe it was the increased competition from EA Sports and the NBA Live series, or maybe they just wanted to set a high bar for the start of the generation, but fans of the franchise, and early adopters of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are definitely in for a visual treat.īasketball being an emotional sport, technology held back 2K from really exploring this facet of the game. Seemingly incontent to take the easy way out on the Xbox One and PS4, they’ve upped the ante when it comes to the most realistic basketball experience on the market. 2K Sports kicks off the next generation of their NBA 2K series with a bang in NBA 2K14.
