NBA 2K14 Hands-On Preview - Association Mode, Presentation, Gameplay & Online Details

I want to know if things like Player Morale as well rotation/draft logic was worked on. If a player is injured do they still lose morale? Will I see teams like the Cavs signing Chris Paul to play PG even though they have Irving? How about the ability to protect traded draft picks? Are the "new" CBA's in? Can we Amnesty players (for the teams who haven't Amnestied anyone yet)? How about the ability to intervene in simmed games?

I'm sure there's some questions that I'm forgetting, but if they tweaked/added those few things, I would be in basketball heaven.

Amen! I actually put that in the wishlist, to consult an NBA defensive coach to help program the AI rotations since most teams have adopted the same defensive schemes on pick and rolls. If I have to make an extra pass on the perimeter after kicking it out to a shooter, I will be floored. thats hoops in todays NBA, help the helper.

I also hope not all teams rotate with the same tenacity and cohesion. lets just say its different playing the bulls than the suns.

I CANNOT wait til next gen NBA2k14....

NBA 2K14 has two new stat overlays called "Scoring Breakdown" and "Hustle Stats" that track points off penetration, points off mid-range jumpers, points off fast break, points off assists, points off post plays, and second chance points.

No NBA telecast ever shows these stat overlays consistently. It's very rare to see them in real life, just like "Top 10 point guard scorers" or "Top 10 passing big men."

Watch an NBA game or two. I'm beggin ya.

We all know it's Coach Nick from BBallBreakdown

They meant My Team not My Player, if look at the 2k14 achievements it will make sense.

"82-0 Finish any team's Schedule in MyTEAM"

Funny you put this video up. In that new gameplay video they actually made the Lakers play the pick and roll sort of bad. Like this video in real life they are not good at defending the pick and roll. Watch the first play at 1:40 on the youtube video, Lakers are out of position if Ronnie would have made one extra pass it would have been Shumpert open. So this could be something that is implemented on purpose to make good teams good on defense and bad teams not so good.

So nothing fixed from 2k13 for Association and Still have to use Default Rosters for On-Line Associations. Maybe I was imaging things but a TON of guys Declared for Free Agency in 2k13. I have to say I am BEYOND Frustrated with 2k. I have Posted, PMd, and Tweeted the Last 2 1/2 years with ISSUES and BEEN IGNORED and ISSUES STILL EXIST. If you cant FIX them have the COURTESY to say "Hey OUR GAME IS UNFIXABLE in THOSE AREAS, SAVE YOUR BREATHE" How difficult would that response be to type out. It is NOT like it has just been me mentioning the Issues, EVERYONE who mentions an issue with Association Mode(SERIOUS ISSUES) is Ignored. I bet if we asked to get some of the Duck Dynasty Guys on the Celebrity team, maybe we would get some type of response. LOL. It is a shame to see how the TRUE basketball Game MODE just gets put on the back burner AGAIN for 2k14.
