   Better game than last year, But was hoping for a little more. For $30 it's a good buy. Would have glady paid $60 for a few more featuresBetter game than last year, But was hoping for a little more. For $30 it's a good buy. Would have glady paid $60 for a few more features though.
   8.5 I rated 10 because too many people gave this a 0 rating,
   Come on people let's be fair. It's the best basketball game on the market.
   I challenge anyone to name a better B-Ball game than 2K14.
   
   Can't wait for NBA 2K15.… Expand

I heard that the NBA Live series suck nowadays, so i decided to check out the 2K series.
   
   While it doesn't have the magic of the old games, it's still pretty good. It's challenging without being frustrating, the commentary and soundtrack and game modes are all good as well.
   
   However, being that we're in 2014, i did expect better graphics than this. They're not awful; still, something quite better could've been accomplished.
   
   It's entertaining enough. And it will be more so with a gamepad. Playing this with a mouse and keyboard will be limiting.… Expand

No improvements in graphics and physics of models since last year. Worst gameplay: AI is stupid, but when you level up the difficulty, it shows really incredible situations: during money time your opponents with rating of 65 or 70 score 3 points in 80% situations or make a steal easily from LeBron or other star player and win the game, their speed become insane for some moments, they knows your actions before you release the buttons, and many many many other silly things which make the game imbalanced. Music and sound is OK, but nothing great. This game isn't good anymore, totally waste of time facing annoying gameplay.… Expand

   Horrible horrible horrible game, built for frustration and not much fun to be had. The controls are abysmal, they are on the level of theHorrible horrible horrible game, built for frustration and not much fun to be had. The controls are abysmal, they are on the level of the worst play controls for any game I've ever played. Trying to control your players is like trying to control someone with a 2 second reaction time on the slickest of ice. Nothing makes intuitive sense in this game AT ALL. From the times you will press the pass button and instead of passing to the most obvious wide open player in front of you, it throws it across the court to a guy in double coverage, to the times when your guy is tripping over his own feet for 3+ seconds while you are unable to pass it to the painfully wide open guy - this game is just awful.
   
   Running a play from the play book is comical, good luck trying to execute any of that in a timely fashion. The game doesn't even feel finished - and it's like the 10th incarnation of this trash so there's absolutely zero excuse.
   
   The MyCareer mode is a complete joke. Playing offense is atrocious enough with your completely gimped player, but defense is just beyond believable. How do people put up with this **** I guess I forget the demographic that typically gets sold on this game hasn't necessarily seen a good game before to know how comparitively awful of an experience this game provides compared to even the most mediocre of games out there. I played perfect defense (which is hard enough to do in a game that provides no good way to defend a ball handler) and was up in a guys face the whole time, all the way until the point where I'm directly on him and jumping up to block his shot, perfectly right in front of his face. Shot cock violation. Do I get "team points" for forcing the violation? Nah. But what do I see as the screen refreshes and the ball is being inbounded? Yep - I lost team points for "Bad shot block attempt" ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
   
   If you have any self respect at all, don't throw your money at this sorry excuse for a game. Even getting it on sale for 7 bucks was not worth it in the slightest. These game devs must be laughing all the way to the bank with this trash, it's even worse than Madden if you could believe it.… Expand

   This is just NBA2k13 with a roster update. PC systems are several times more powerful than the current consoles but why do devs keep holdingThis is just NBA2k13 with a roster update. PC systems are several times more powerful than the current consoles but why do devs keep holding back?
   NBA2k11 looks exactly like 2k14.
   
   Graphics are too old, controls have changed again and are ackward so prepare to spend some time learning them again.
   CPU still cheats like crazy (silly boundary defense, steals, rebound between 5 players and boxed out).
   
   Commentary is still good as usual, presentation is also nice with nice intros, music, facts/stats.
   But nothing really changed compared to previous years.
   
   Annoying Bugs:
   A loose ball can bounce around without even touching anyone from left to right.
   Player reaction towards a loose ball: there is none, they wait till the opponent grabs the ball first and then reacts. You can't move either cause you're in a locked animation.
   
   Force field defense and boundaries. You can't move past a defender on higher difficulties when you make your dribble move because the game has predetermined that you won't score.
   I crossed my opponent and he was 3m away from me but I still couldn't move forward.
   
   Dumb teammates AI, they seem to follow you around and are always in your way.
   
   Holding fouls during myplayer still aren't being called. You want to go to your position for a play and you cross the paint: the defense will hold you like crazy and you can't move anywhere.
   
   and many other annoying bugs that happened in previous games still happen in 2k14.
   
   Not worth the money.… Expand
