Started playing this last night in my career mode. I normally hate the single player experience but this one hasn't been so bad thus far. Got drafted at #8 by Detroit and I'm still on the bench but getting some back up playing time now after not playing at all the first 2-3 games then an injury occurred.

I think that's how it always start. I hate how cheesy the "story" is, but game wise I love. I just need to get used to shooting again. I'm hooping like D. Rose right now.

Honest question... is 2k14 too complex for a person who has never played the 2k NBA series and only played Choops 2k8 as my last 2k game? I have heard that it's very complex for noobs. However, Live is pretty complex as well without a tutorial...

I am a horrible basketball player in general, have no clue what is going on and love 2k jaymo :D. I play on default settings and I think there is an easier one. I did try mygm and was in control of everything, not just my guy, and got crushed.:fp:

So I played my first game as the overall game installed. Playing as the Heat vs the Spurs on default (PRO) I figured I would get blown away. Well the final was San Antonio 69 Miami 60. I was in this game most of the way. Never playing a NBA 2K game I didn't know what to expect. All I can say is... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, this game is amazing. I thought I enjoyed LIVE but outside of the ESPN half-time show everything in 2k is far, far, far superior, most importantly the fun factor. The gameplay is smooth, fluid and precise and the cpu AI is top notch. Players move with logical precision and commentary is spot on. Plus, the game has so much information and the D pad makes it easy to interact with. Within minutes I was changing my Defense set-up, running offensive plays and changing philosophy. What I like most is shooting. Unlike LIVE there is no great secret to shooting.

I just started myplayer and there are a ton of options. This is going to be a late, late night!

Yep, I always had a blast with NBA 2K on my 360. 2K14 is gonna be the "first" next game I get probably after my next paycheck. I still have a bunch of games to get besides Ryse, Forza and Dead Rising, but 2K14 is currently at the top of the list. I am eagerly awaiting MyCareer and MyGM.

About to play the prospect game. I'm not very good at this game so this could be ugly. I'm playing the SF position so we will see how it goes.

jaymo76
11-22-2013, 04:46 AM
Prospect game was a blast. I hit the game winner with 1.8 seconds left and we won 70-68. My performance rating was fair and my teammate grad was a "B." I had 16 points 3 assists and 3 rebounds. Not too bad but I was ice cold in the 2nd half. Sadly Ellis outscored me down the stretch.

After the game I told my agent I wanted to play for Golden State. Then I was interviewed by the 76ers (11th pick) and then the Milwaukee Bucks (15th pick). Personally I would love to go to the Bucks...

At the draft I was told I would be a lock for the first round. Jackson Ellis went to the Pistons with the 8th pick. Then the moment comes... and I am selected by the Milwaukee Bucks as the 15th pick. My ovr is only a 62. I will be on the bench for sure. "Fear the deer."

Well, we beat the Knicks 97-83. I didn't play one minute of the game. The only thing I actually did was celebrate with my teammates during a timeout. My current status is that I am a bench warmer. I'm actually the 12th man!

I love it! I have a big sign in Milwaukee yet I don't get onto the court. Game two at Boston we win 104-95 and again I don't make it onto the court. I also got hazed by Caron Butler... my rite of passage is to be the luggage boy.

Game three were were at home to the Raptors. I upgraded my player to a 66 ovr before the game. With 6:34 Butler gets injured according to script and I get in. One assist and 1 bucket... we lose and I have a poor performance grade. Even so I have moved up to 9th and am now a role player.

Ok, now that you have played the game some, you get to answer this question for me. I've never played a 2k basketball game, neither NBA nor Choops. The last basketball game I played was EA's last college game, whatever that was called.

How steep is the learning curve?

Surprisingly, this game is a lot easier to pick up and play then NBA LIVE, The motion of cpu players is excellent; it's easy to change your philosophy and make subs using D pad; shooting feels easier than Live; the game will give you hints as you go; there are SLIDERS to make whatever you want a little easier/harder. Hands down this game is spectacular. Now I don't know all of the advanced moves and I avoid shooting with the R stick (I only use the shoot button) but I know enough to be competitive and have fun.

Man my last game was brutal 15 mins of plays for 3 pts and 1 assist. The season is not going very well for me but the Bucks are 3-2. Then we go to Miami and I self destruct... I had 10 points and only shot 22%. We lost 113 to 64 :fp: I am never going to be a starter at this pace.

I just use the 1-1 legends for practise. It's not too bad. One minor addition I would like for mycareer is to be able to choose the unis for each game. The one thing about 2k I don't like... the menus...???...??? They are so hard to navigate and find things. Bizarre set-up IMO.

jaymo76
11-22-2013, 06:16 PM
My first minor issue... I was fouled in my career and everyone walked to the fould line except my player stayed outside of the three point arc. I could not advance regardless of what I did and ultimately had to go the the PS menu and close the 2k application. I had only played 2 minute sof the game but it is still pretty annoying.

jaymo76
11-23-2013, 01:13 PM
Brutal... my free throw shooting is only 75%. So one of my teammates (Butler I think) asked if I wanted to go to the gym. WARNING: DON'T GO!!! I had to shoot 50 free throws without a miss. I got to 26 and then missed two in a row. All together I had to shoot 78 free throws. It took forever and I could not exit the "challenge." That was pretty excessive IMO...

In other news, I had a breakout versus my "rival" Ellis and the Pistons... 35 points, 2 assists and three rebounds to his 11 points and 2 assists. I have really struggled of late only averaging 7.2 ppg. However, I am now in the number 7 spot with 14 minutes per night. I love all of the detail in this game. I just wish the menus were easier to find it all.

jaymo76
11-23-2013, 01:35 PM
Oh cool thing I forgot to mention. When I got to shoot 46 of my free throws and contolller started to pulse like a beating heart. It became more intense and before shot 50 it was mimicking my own heart. Oh the pressure! It was really great. Nice touch Visual Concepts/2k!

11-24-2013, 03:58 PM
I can see how the rpg aspect of mycareer is frustrating at times. I had 35 points, 21 points 16 points and 22 points. Then I go out to celebrate with my teammates and my minutes are cut down to 8 and I go to 9th spot. Then I get a goal of 10 straight points which I fail and the coach threatens me with demotion. I led the team in scoring 3 out of 4 games and then get demoted for celebrating a victory? I love the immersion of the mode but some of the logic is absolutely bizarre...

Still loving the game, however here are a few "issues" I have seen. My player gets hurt but the other guard rides the bench hurt. Way, way, way, way too much goal tending. Seems like every game, multiple goal tending calls..........On the team chart I have no idea why players are in whatever emotional state. Not sure what is good or bad, etc. No big deal in myplayer but if it is the same in mygm that could be an issue. It would be nice to know why my player is in whatever mood though.

I still have not gotten into the depth of controls with the game. Still just pass, shoot, steal, block.....very basic. Seems it is easy to pick up and enjoy but difficult to master.

Sadly, I just noticed myplayer career stats are not tracking. Stuck on 999 points for example for several games now. I would not care about the stats if these accomplishments were not tied to coins that I spend on getting better :fp: Going to finish my first season (in playoffs now) and see if it corrects.

Yeah, the stats for career are not tracking, none of them. Sad, sad, sad.....was really into this game. Can't find any threads or topics anywhere on the issue. I am not talking about the VC glitch that some are having after games. I am saying you will not get bonus VC for obtaining career goals if stats don't track.

It's no different than what they did last year, just that it's carried over to the MyGM mode for this year. People bitching about having to spend money for stuff is dumb, though not being able to just sim the games and just do the MyGM mode without not having the coins to open up new stuff is a bit disappointing.

This was going to be one of the games I purchased when I pick up my PS4 but I really have not heard anything other than it looks really good but plays the same as current gen. Throw in all this VC mess and there is no way I am rewarding this kind of behavior toward customers. Madden and Fifa look like they will be my only games until Thief hits in Feb.

I have mostly enjoyed playing this, but they definitely have some kinks to work out.

I don't like that the injury storyline appears to be the only path to the court.

Sometimes I lose teammate points for passing to an open man. It says "bad pass selection." I guess that means the player I passed to is on a cold streak or something, but how am I supposed to know that?

I restarted MyCareer after I figured out how to play the game a little (the rookie showcase had been the first time I played ANY hoops game since EA's last college basketball game :D). I couldn't figure out how to change my player's name. Not a huge deal, just a little odd.

The VC situation is interesting. I didn't read the full article and haven't messed around with other modes, so I don't know the full scope. I understand if the VC you earn in MyCareer is only good for that player. But I'm pretty sure the first time I played I started with, like, 6000 VC. Shouldn't I always start with that? I didn't get it when I restarted. What about VC that you purchase? If you restart, do you loose all that too?

This sums up a lot of my thoughts as well. Personally at first I loved the story mode but then I quickly realised how scripted it is. There really isn't a lot of free will. Plus some of the logic makes no sense. You lead you team in scoring for several games and then get in a fight protecting your teammates and your benched and threatened to be demoted... then the next game with less minutes you score less points and now you fall to 8th spot... yeah okay...

2k's story mode is awesome BUT I think it is too over the top in some areas. Some weeks you "Play" more story than you do games. The whole rivalry will Ellis is stupid IMO and actually detracts from my interest in the mode. Frankly player development needs to be more organic.

That's exactly what I was thinking last night.

I don't think anyone filing a lawsuit against either one of them are idiots. They both made promises and hyped the shit out of it only to release completely broken games. They both more than deserve to be sued.

...and I don't know about worse. Battlefield 4 was quite literally unplayable at launch and for several weeks after for most people. They've got most of the connection problems sorted out now, but now it's riddled with hit detection problems, lag in some games, unbalanced weapons, and just about anything else you can think of.

They're both pretty fucking bad.

I didn't think you bought it right away? The PS3/360 versions were absolutely 100% unplayable for the first few days or so after launch, and then was really spotty after. The next gen versions were very spotty right away and after a few weeks, it seems they got the connectivity issues sorted out.

...and it's not just the unbalances. Shit, check the threads on Battlelog. People still can't connect, people falling through the ground, people getting their systems locked up, etc...I mean, there's still some really bad stuff going on. I've had a few crashes here and there, but that doesn't mean other people aren't experiencing much worse. Besides, when Microsoft starts refunding people for Premium status, you KNOW something is majorly fucked up with the game.

The stupid thing is that it could have been all avoided. Don't rush the game to beat Call of Duty, put a little love into it, and boom, excellent product that will still sell millions of copies.

I have only had a few instances of not being able to load into the 2k servers. Frustrating, no doubt and if a publisher is going to go this route they need to make sure it works. I have played every game of my career and am in the second season around game 52. Have really enjoyed the game to the point I can say I have gotten my monies worth. With that said, it sucks massive hippopotamus balls to tie so many trophies to this VC crap. I know, I know, it is all about micro-transactions and driving them post sale, but it is getting ridiculous to the point of looking like my favorite game company, EA.

In other news, requiring me to be on your servers to play my solo game sucks those same massive (drained now) hippo balls.

Again, not everyone is going to experience the connection problems. PS3/360 servers were down for everyone for the first couple of days or had so much lag that it wasn't playable. Even now with all the connection issues fixed, it's still a broken game due to how much shit doesn't work as it should.

Don't take it as me defending NBA, either. It's in the same boat, IMO. Hyped up as being amazing and turning out to suck.

I caved and found a used copy at Gamestop tonight. I just never clicked with Live due to the sluggish controls. This is an area where 2K14 simply dominates. In both fluidity and the use of isomotion with the R-Stick. It is also a very nice looking game. Only got to use play now because it was installing but looking forward to starting a My Player and MY GM later today.

Oh and the trade in value for Live was $7 dollars. Fortunately they were giving an extra $10 for any next gen game.

Patch 4 has fixed whatever was causing my problem. No games lost :up:

Glad to hear it.

I am starting to think 2KSports got screwed when they tried to hire "trained monkeys" to do some of the coding and were sent "untrained lazy monkeys" instead.

Have never played a game with so many things screwed up at one time. They could not even get the All-Star game working, at least for me. To play it in quick play I have to load the roster each time, even if it is the same default roster, just to get the rosters and uniforms. Of course when than works I have yet to see the new court, I only get the Old Toyota Center court.

Add to the aggravation, since day one I have never seen the NBA Today Video load or any of the my player stiff. Do not see images of what I am buying and no matter what I buy or try to wear it is the brown shirt and sweat pants. It's a good thing she is a looker and plays well, otherwise I would have to toss her into the ocean with a bag of rocks.

Heard reinstalling it might help so I am doing that right now but I am not too confident.

It's maddening to me this game keeps getting consistent 9+ scores every year. The same garbage is broken or messed up every single year. I guess it gets a free pass because most of the gaming press know nothing about the game of basketball and just gives it a nice score because it looks nice and on the surface it plays like basketball. Meanwhile, they keep adding amazing features like "the park" instead of fixing the broken ass game play.

Damn you cloud. MS needs to put an end to cloud only saves because this shit is pissing me off. Of course the install did nothing. They even know it is a big problem as it gets it's own * in the knowledge base where no knowledge is found. (http://support.2k.com/hc/en-us/sections/200299983-NBA-2K14).

I started playing this again over the weekend. I picked up the MyCareer that I had going when the 2k servers became unreliable, which was 18 games into the first season as a PG for Atlanta. I asked for a trade at the first opportunity at landed in Minnesota, which feels like a much better fit somehow.

It seems like everything takes longer to load than it used to, especially loading the game from PS4 menu.

I like most of the presentation, but I hate the highlights of the teams against each other in the unis they are about to wear as part of the pregame. It's like highlights from the game that is about to be played. Hate it in NCAA 14, hate it here.

I haven't played in a long while either, though I have wanted to. I am close to the halfway point of the season. Right now I have too many games and I don't have enough time (MADDEN 25, NBA 2K14, LIVE 14, DON'T STARVE, MARVEL SUPERHEROES, OUTLAST, etc.). I also want to get back into NCAA FBALL 14 and NCAA BBALL 10 in the near future.

I totally agree on the highlights topic you brought up. Building on that, I really wish we could SELECT UNIS FOR OUR TEAM AND THE CPU TEAM. multi-uniforms are huge in every sport right now yet in mycareer you get home and away, that's it.

2K ties their jerseys to the rosters. So in order to get the new jerseys in your career, you have to restart with the updated rosters.

Just turned on the PS4 for the first time in a few days and I have a notification that something didn't upload. I open it up and it's from NBA 2k, error code NP-34925-3. I turned on the system because I was going to play this game. If there is something wrong that prevents me from playing, I am done with NBA 2k14 forever.

I was able to 'retry' the upload and it looks like everything is fine.

I guess I'm still on edge from that week when the 2k servers made the game unplayable + the issues that SC was having.

I don't know how you even play it. I've been trying to get 99 stars on My Team Domination and the AI is the cheapest thing I've ever seen. Every single loose ball goes to the CPU. I've had players on my team randomly run out of bounds as I'm about to pass them the ball. I've had passes 15 feet down court get overthrown right to the CPU. Add to that the enormous amount of missed layups (basically, if there's a defender there, it's going to be a miss) and I've just about reached my end. I say it every year, but I truly don't see how this game consistently gets the high scores it gets.

A mix of 2K fanboys and NBA 2K always had some big positives, and after the NBA Live debacle the last couple years, that everyone seems to ignore the VERY glaring negatives and prevail it as the greatest game ever made every year.

I have only played mycareer mode and while I see some minor issues such as way to much goal tending I have played this a lot because I enjoy it.....pure and simple the fun factor. I think I played 2k12 for a week, maybe 20 games. I just enjoy this one :nod:

How do you get your team to come out with loose balls? If a ball is going out of bounds and it's saved, CPU gets it virtually every time. Same thing with tipped passes. Same thing with offensive rebounds. That and the constantly missed layups are the things that just drive me absolutely insane with the game. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, because I've had this same problem for the last 3 or 4 games.

My front three get rebounds on O and D. I get some and lose some on the ball going out but saved. Tipped passes are the same, win some lose some. I see missed layups from time to time when "contested".

These random events rely heavily on player awareness. I noticed that when I had a young team, pretty much all 1-3 year players I was having the issues that you were having. It seemed like my players were brain dead. When playing with some older players on my team, I noticed that those problems were pretty much gone. I used the same sliders and settings, and was on the same patch number playing MyGM. It was like night and day when I had some veterans with more awareness on my team.

I'm about halfway through my first season now. I don't have it on that high of a difficulty so I'm averaging 23 a game :D but I don't care. I'm not in it for the challenge, just having fun with the mode.

Found something else I do not like...........mygm does EVERYTHING it can to milk you for VC. I am in my second season now and I am up to level 50+. I started mygm with considerable vc carrying over from my career and leveled up a good bit to start. However, after using vc to unlock an ability..it charges more vc to then use the ability, every time:fp:. Add to this at season end it costs more vc to train/send guys to camp etc. and the "hulk smash" moments when my coach or "advisers" want something that costs more vc than I have. Say no to any of this and they get pissed, and ratings drop.................pisses me off...............end rant :D

03-19-2014, 12:22 PM
I suggest if playing mygm do not let your vc balance drop below 2500-3500 just in case your whiny coach wants a weight room upgrade :fp:

and 50000 vc to buy a team and earn a trophy :glare:

Stupid playoff glitch that would not let me advance, so I sent a customer service an email in regards to this.

Bdsooner72, Mar 17 23:14:

I am playing MY GM *season mode* (Xbox One). Everything was working fine until the playoffs. I finish a game. Exit to GM menu, Exit to main menu (it shows to be saving) but next time I go in that game is not played. I even tried simming a game and when loaded again did not save the game.


Only took one month to reply and this is how I am supposed to fix the issue?

Probably my PS3 controller

But I'm ready to destroy something due to the fact every time I have an open layup or shot the damn substitution menu pops up. Never fails every time it seems. I can't even do it on purpose if I tried.

Now this is the same controller that when I play Madden and hit speed burst it randomly makes me try to pitch the ball
