Euroleague Teamsįor the first time ever in the NBA 2K series, 2K14 features a roster of Euroleague teams. As in recent years' editions featuring athletes such as Michael Jordan, there is a new gameplay mode revolving around James in which the player can choose to either have him stay with the Miami Heat after the completion of the 2013-2014 season and build the Heat into a dynasty or move on to new waters. James was also given the honor of selecting the game's soundtrack. The cover athlete of this year's edition is Miami Heat star LeBron James. However, NBA 2K remains one of the better sports video games around.NBA 2K14 is 2K Sports's fifteenth edition of their NBA simulation basketball franchise developed by Visual Concepts. NBA 2K14 is a solid hoops package, although it seems adjustments this season are subtle compared to what developers introduced in earlier games.
Several game modes remain, including The Association for running franchises and MyPlayer for those who want to focus on creating their own superstar. Other on-court options include a pass modifier for players wanting to execute bounce passes or move the ball in different ways, and a Smart Play button to easily run half-court plays. However, if you're a veteran player, and loved the ability to have more control over your shots or dunks, you might find yourself frustrated. It's not common, but might happen periodically.įor players new to NBA 2K14, the simplicity is welcome. There were moments where I'd want to pump fake on a shot and ended up shooting anyway, or I would want to execute a layup and perform a dribble move instead.

The platforms are currently TBA, which probably points to a next gen release and hopefully also means a continuation of PC releases. Surprisingly, it works well, but still needs a little tweaking. This fiscal report from Take-Two mentions upcoming titles for 2013, revealing NBA 2K14s release date as October 1st, 2013 in line with the usual timeframe. Players tap the right stick for dribble moves, and hold the stick in the preferred direction to shoot. This year, developers have seamlessly integrated the two mechanics with no modifier. So, the right stick would allow players to perform crossover or behind-the-back dribbles until you hold down the left trigger to use that same stick to shoot jumpers or pull off dunks. Previous releases allowed for control of shooting and dribbling one on stick by using a modifier.

The other big change is the continued refinement of the Pro Stick, used to dribble and shoot. Like his real-world persona, digital LeBron is unstoppable. Overall, it's an entertaining concept, largely due to James. Players earn points after each game based on the final score, LeBron's stats and other details, with players earning a max of three stars. For example, in my run through Fantastic Journey, James played against the Lakers in an MVP battle with Kobe Bryant, followed by a Game 7 in the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder (LeBron would jump to the New York Knicks next season). Instead of playing through multiple seasons, players will drop into critical games through James' quest. Both modes require players to secure as many championship rings for James as possible.
