This game looks more realistic than 2k16 and 2k17! Honestly, I think it's the lighting they used in-game. The courts look slick, the players are alive, there is not so much color everywhere. It's nice, I love it!
Trey Castillo I think they only went all out on this because it was the first game on the next generation console..after that they probably felt content with regressing graphically, it’s a shame. It really looks cartoony now especially on the park, it really started in 16
they didnt do it cause they r tryin to say its good enough to be a niner but lacks just a little bit of oomph in some parts that would ave carried it all the way
EA needs to fire whoever marketed NBA Live 14... no gameplay videos after 2K14 is out only a shitty highlight video that looks worse. Everyone is going to buy the safe option of 2K14.
you know NBA Live developers said themselves that it isn't there to compete with NBA 2k14 yet. They want to get back to making NBA games and having their own unique twist.
It's never going to happen... The NFL and NFLPA decided years ago that they wanted one company to make their game... So they made EA and 2K have a bidding war... Of course EA being the much larger company won... And to this day EA is still the larger and more profitable company so I don't see the NFL license changing hangs any time soon
Actually im pretty sure the NFL contract is ending for EA pretty soon, like this year, but the NFL hasn't really shown interest in any other companies other than EA; though they do state that they are open to developers. So there is some hope.
Riken They will just have another bidding war... The NFL is about money... EA is a juggernaut of a company and will outbid any one that competes with them... Not saying I agree with that, but that's all that is going to happen...
I'm so happy nba live is back . I'm not going to get live but since live is back it pushes 2k to be so much better ,competition helps alot and I hope live is going to stay for years so it continues to push 2k better
I just watched my dad play this on his Xbox one and the frame rate is HORRIBLE during replays! It dips to about 11 FPS consistently!!! Also there are a TON of bugs in that version.
I've been playing NBA 2K14 one the PS4 for the last 5 hours and I cannot stop, this game is completely fantastic. I think the reviewer was right about the dialog, however I think he failed to address how well written the story is on how you get into the NBA and how everything happens step by step. It is way more thought out then previous generations.
2ks gameplay is amazing 10/10. Career 10/10. Haven't played anything else. Just wish we could go back to the way it use to be in the menu or creating your own roster
I'm currently playing Nba2k21 on Xbox Series X & this game may look better than that. I'm just praying it doesn't decline like every other 2k. Look at 2k6 on 360 & compare it to 2k13 on 360
My he reason why this gameplay looks so HD and better because it's on a ps4, not saying the xbox one doesn't look as good as this but the ps4 has better visuals and is a more advance system than Xbox
I don't give a shit what anyone says, 2K is the most fun game I've played in a while, alone and with buddies. Especially with buddies, it really get's intense when you're 80-80 in the 4th, and you both really get competitive. Honestly, it's the most fun I've had on the PS4 so far, and I will definitely be buying the next 2K. Also, this is the first time I've played any NBA 2K game, and damn I'm impressed.
its funny because while i had the game, i was always frustrated with the loose balls, animations, servers, etc., but now 2k15 is out. i miss this game. to me 2k15 took a step back, thats just me.
Would like totally free new video games for your PlayStation? I just downloaded an amazing first person shooter. badasscontent.com/327583810 Grab your free PSN codes at that web site.
8.9 is a little low. I think its an 9.5. The MyCarrer mode is a little cheesy and forced. But I don't mind the mute. I'm a legend of Zelda fan so I'm used to it and plus nba players don't have a couple hundred hours to voice record. For like 30-40 different players. Live got like a 4.7 I think 2k14 is at least a 9.5. The MyCarrer was the only down fall but barley because that mode is still pretty cool forced or not.
I honestly think that the 8.9 is a little too high. The MyCareer is not really an issue; it being cheesy and forced is hardly an issue. 2k could have easily gotten them to voice act considering that they say about 2-3 sentences every 5-10 games. Comparing Live to this is ridiculous. Nba 2k14 is a good game, don't get me wrong, but the selective physics, horrible AI, bad defense, controls, and servers hold this back from being a 9.5 which is considered between a "masterpiece" and "revolutionary". I would give the game around an 8.5.
There are videos of him dunking with two hands, just look em up. Some players got hops and choose not to use em', O.J. Mayo, Stephen Curry and Mike Conley Jr. are perfect examples.
I was not sure if I was gonna buy it but Im like the fact that They are expanding GM Mode one of my favorite modes to play nd my player looks cool to. The street ball with friends also looks cool, IDK I will wait nd check the reviews when people start playing it. Then I will probably buy it.
Been a fan of Live, and gotta say I havent touched any basketball game in quite a while. i've always been interested in the economics side of basketball team management, so hopefully as we continue to delve deeper they'll be able to add far more features including building your own stadium, custom merchandise, and the likes. I want more in depth realism in the game that goes beyond the court. I'll be waiting ^.^ but epicness, I saw Live 14 and wow what a face palm, 2k has really done well with this iteration.
The game is great. If you're looking for a good next gen game to add to your (probably rather small) collection, this is one to buy. Regardless of whether you're on ps4 or xbox this game is awesome. I wasn't really into sports games but I can't stop playing this!
Now that the MyCareer issues seem to have been fixed, this really is one of, if not the greatest, the best sports games ever. Now to get the NFL license from EA and let 2K bring it home. 2k5 was insane.
To all the people bitching about gameplay in this video, he states several times that it plays the same as current gen. Watch other UA-camrs, they say the same
I’m starting to think we’ll never get another 2K as perfect as NBA 2K14 was, 8.9 rating ? I don’t think so i give it a 9.5 . Like i remember having so much Fun playing this game i had to force myself to stop playing it. With all that said 2K20 is by far the worst 2K ever i regret buying it & i believe next year will be even worse; as the pattern only suggests. Every year after 2K14 it went backwards just issue after issue, i’m not dealing with it anymore i’m done with 2K.
This is just AMAZING. Must-buy game! As far as the MyCAREER situation goes, I think that is one of the factors that makes 2k so fun. I laugh at that stuff, while the graphics and gameplay never dissapoint. Tbh I dont even know how they got voices for the Halftime interviews. Be grateful people GEESH
Hope they make 2k version of FIFA!!! I mean they already dominate basketball game over EA! I am pretty sure if 2k put same effort they put in basketball game, don't see why they can't EA easily!! 2K please make soccer game for the vast amount of people worldwide!!! You would make more money games sold worldwide soccer fans, not only from North America!!!
but they'd be starting from scratch, whereas fifa has been built on year after year slightly improving each time... don't think it would be as easy as you make it sound. plus fifa have all the rights to players names etc which is the main reason PES is so bad.
Ign I'm so confused how this got lower then the current gen, when I seen your fifa review next gen and it had nothing but a visual change and you rated it higher Smh but 2k brought something new your judging system is flawed (Do you dudes even hoop?) Ball wouldn't be lost off people if you played the game correctly
NBA 2K14 looks better on next gen glad the gameplay is the same looking forward to the new modes and how they play I would have liked to seen some legends and how they react and their expressions and how does IGN give 2K a 8 after they hyped 2K as being the best looking game on next gen but in their Fifa review they said it was pretty much the same it gets a 9.
Ugggg... I can only deam of another NFL game being made by 2K. EA sucks so damn hard. You can pretty much grasp the differences in these companies when comparing NBA2K14 to NBA Live 14.
Players still look like lifeless zombies for the most part. I would have taken better facial animations over more realistic cloth physics. I am disappointed.
I'm really NOT liking how 2K is turning their awesome career mode into some kind of story mode crap!!!! All they need to do is add some more depth to the off court stuff, not all that scripted crap!!!
The next gen gets a lower score than the current gen.. didn't see that one coming. It's fair tho because 2K sports did take off some game modes, but according to the +/- it was for a cheesy MyPlayer. It's hard for me to say that story has a bigger impact that gameplay on a sports game. With that said if it functions right i don't see a problem, that would hold it back from the same rating or higher that current gen. Rating don't matter to me directly but it would help bring more online users if it were higher just like they do with AAA titles. At the end, great detailed review IGN!
1:23 the ball need to have its own physics, because otherwise its like scripted FIFA where ball just stuck to your feet and its hard to loose at all Like Goals and everything. REALLY NOT enjoyable to play
These are the best graphics of any 2k ever....even 2k19.
And 2k21
@@cesar5478 even on next gen and that’s crazy!!!
@@user-ek8cg7tm5s 2k22 looks cartoon like. 2k14 looks like real life!

Yes it does please let 2k17 be this real
looks better than 17

Best looking 2k in the next gen

To tell the truth I'm kind of surprise that it's 1080p on Xbox One!
Big Joe1627 wtf you talking about

8.9? Really??? Just round that up to 9! Come on IGN! WTF?
they didnt do it cause they r tryin to say its good enough to be a niner but lacks just a little bit of oomph in some parts that would ave carried it all the way
Relax

Who said it will be any good now?
Maybe they don't want people to see how shit it looks?
TheFinalKey 2k suck same gameplay just better graphics lmao i guess
well well well... am i impressed? not really, but maybe a few patches will get me there...
Probably after release date
Your famous noe
This aged well
What the hell happened to 2k man..
2 b honest i like this more than 2k18
same, by a mile!
Whos here after ps5 next gen???
Still the best looking 2k by far!
2K needs to get rights over NFL, Madden is God awful...
they used to they used to make those espn football games like 12 years ago or so
It's never going to happen... The NFL and NFLPA decided years ago that they wanted one company to make their game... So they made EA and 2K have a bidding war... Of course EA being the much larger company won... And to this day EA is still the larger and more profitable company so I don't see the NFL license changing hangs any time soon

WWE 2k14: The best
NBA 2k14: The best
2013-2014 was a great year by 2k
They fell off hard
Three fair reason why nba live is better than nba 2k14

I'm so happy nba live is back . I'm not going to get live but since live is back it pushes 2k to be so much better ,competition helps alot and I hope live is going to stay for years so it continues to push 2k better
I agree, I agree, and, well, I AGREE!
I just watched my dad play this on his Xbox one and the frame rate is HORRIBLE during replays! It dips to about 11 FPS consistently!!! Also there are a TON of bugs in that version.

the best nba game of all time, it's better than 2k15,2k16,2k17
2:37 thats already not realistic..
Curry can dunk.
Stan Marsh Stan?
Stan Marsh yes, but not like that.
Idk what happened to the lighting we used to have smh
This is the best looking 2K
Just got this today and have to say... I LOVE IT!
better than 2k20!
This game isn't realistic, you see Derrick Rose perfectly healthy at 2:26.
Still semi accurate 7 years later
I think they did very good. Adding cutscenes between players and interviews during halftime. fans should be more appreciative. 2k puts in work for us.
Looks better than nba 2k19
2ks gameplay is amazing 10/10. Career 10/10. Haven't played anything else. Just wish we could go back to the way it use to be in the menu or creating your own roster
i think this has better graphics than 22k15 i own both
I'm currently playing Nba2k21 on Xbox Series X & this game may look better than that. I'm just praying it doesn't decline like every other 2k. Look at 2k6 on 360 & compare it to 2k13 on 360
lol at the stephen curry dunk @ 2:37
Jackazzes didn't give us this version for PC...
Get mad .... All I hear you niggas is getting salty how about you get over yourselves because you should get it next year.
publishers hate pc, don't ask why.....
***** Yeah, mods make everything look better, even if the game doesn't support mods (We can use SweetFX)
007Anukul Mainly because of piracy... id say thats a pretty good reason not to port it.
***** We are already Next-gen, our graphics are still better, our framerate is higher and our resolution is higher.
Apparently this is the best 2k... I just bought 2k17 for $40 was that a mistake
Not at all 2K17 is great.
Naca no its not its trash and unrealistic
2k16 is
My he reason why this gameplay looks so HD and better because it's on a ps4, not saying the xbox one doesn't look as good as this but the ps4 has better visuals and is a more advance system than Xbox

ps4 has better specs

this game looks more beautiful than reality
To anyone wondering! THE MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BEGINNING IS: Ennio Morricone - L'Estasi Dell'oro (Bandini Remix)
I'll wait for Chris Smoove to tell me if this game is any good or just nice graphics
11/10: Keeps you spamming the Instant Replay button because of the graphics
The team that makes the NHL games could learn a lot from this.
This game looks better than 2K18 WTF!?
Best NBA 2K game Hands Down
Best looking as well
steph curry doesn't dunk like that he's a one hander at best dunker.. that two- handed dunk he did was so fake lmaoo..
I was thinking the same thing yo
There are videos of him dunking with two hands, just look em up. Some players got hops and choose not to use em', O.J. Mayo, Stephen Curry and Mike Conley Jr. are perfect examples.
***** If someones controlling him, yes he could've.
A.I.'s cant dunk??
lol same thing i was thinking always have non dunkers dunking like theyre competing in the dunk contest

The CPU even on Pro difficulty is insanely good. I dont believe I've won a single game yet :( I play on Xbox One
I can just imagine what NFL 2k14 would look like next-gen...Im ready to see Madden 25 review now
really you just couldn't make it a 9 could you....
Yeah, seriously
2k14 on Xbox One is AWESOOME !!!!
I just realized you can like a comment multiple times.
Micro Scumbag how?
Micro Scumbag
Still better than 2k20
Bitter sweet feeling with that mute arguing scene
Now that the MyCareer issues seem to have been fixed, this really is one of, if not the greatest, the best sports games ever.
Now to get the NFL license from EA and let 2K bring it home. 2k5 was insane.
2K11 is the Best
hell yea
This is by far the best sports game, makes Fifa look like arcade football.
NBA 2K14 is 5.000.000.000 years ahead of NBA Live 14
rmbr i playing it on living room for whole day. my mum though i watching basketball match for whole day. epic!
This game looks like NBA on PS5 🤣
Excited for the mygm mode. Still gotta wait a week for the xbox one though :(

they cant make a 2k version of fifa.. thats stupid.. anyway fifa is harder to make than 5 vs 5 basketball
ea hasnt made a good nba game in like 15 years
I'll go outside for realistic
Back when 2k actually cared
This is the greatest 2k of all time

Why is everyone hating on the score and positive review? I like the game
Ahh that intro song..Ecstacy of gold..
Red Dead Redemption..What an epic game, my 4th all time favorite game..

I know man I guess they are fifa fans lol
how did this get a worse score than the ps3/xbox 360 version????? the other version is the same as 2k13 with some tweaks
WOW this looks amazing... kinda scary... gonna get this tomorrow at target and i cant wait to see what 2k15 is gonna look like!
Talking in subtitles? LMAO! I was dying laughing at that part!
Ugggg... I can only deam of another NFL game being made by 2K. EA sucks so damn hard.
You can pretty much grasp the differences in these companies when comparing NBA2K14 to NBA Live 14.
I know ! Im a madden fan . And madden just went downhill. I want 2k to make a nfl game!!!
6:02 rose is way more cut than that ... No homo lol. Graphics are still amazing tho
I miss NFL street remaster that

i can't take your stupid looking face seriously....
the voice in my player is as usual from the current gen.
