If any of you guys wanna run some games this weekend let me know. I'll be around most the weekend.
Loving this game. As I told clw in chat yesterday my only gripe is putting the single player career on the online servers.
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.Quote:

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:Quote:

The Harden one is turrible :D
I'm looking forward to digging into MyPlayer this weekend. Have only played a couple play now game so far.
Decided to pick this game up. I will swing by best buy after work. I actually enjoy some of the gameplay elements of Live but the rpg of my career just looks too good to pass up.

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!
I told you. NBA 2K is one of the best sports simulations you'll find, especially this year's next gen version. NBA Live isn't even close right now.Quote:

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.
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."
Sounds like a fun time in stores Jaymo. Looking forward to seeing what happens in your career! :up:
Until I eventually get around to buying NBA 2K14, definitely gonna be living vicariously through your player's career. :D
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.Quote:

Either future Hall of Famer or next on TMZ for a pot bust :D

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. Get this gam Stan H!Quote:

I already have it, just haven't started playing yet. I'm trying to get a few more seasons of offline dynasty in before I start playing another sports game. I expect this or FIFA to take over my life in the next month or so, haha.Quote:

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.Quote:
