NBA 2K14 Video - Path to Greatness Gameplay

[Vni]

At 7.15 the play is able to start before every players are at their respective spots. Makes the play execute really fast. nice.

It's pretty much like the Jordan challenge mode in 2k11 from the gameplay vids, except without the specific objectives (I have no idea why they abandoned that in 2k12 and 2k13.) It is not meant to be a huge time sink, just a fun little story mode to play between MyCareer or online games.

At 6.00 great rebound and layup animation by Howard. Fast, tight and effective.

The bad thing about it is that Varejao didn't even try to box him out.

edit: I see quite a bit of bodys morphing through each others like at 6.15
This didn't use to happen in previous 2K.

I have been unhappy with how 2k has been handling their business so far, however this video was great. I am totally satisfied with the game play in this vid. The lay up animation at 14 min was on point. Good catch geeksta. There was no room for d will to go up so he either had to 1) run over the defender (which people rightfully complain about in earlier 2k games, 2) create space on the run and do a "leaning lay up" (which is what would happen in real life here) 3) players collide in an attempt to draw a foul.
So I have no problem with the animation here.

People should be more objective. There is a group in the forum who won't ever say anything negative, and a group who is only negative. Both are equally irritating. Objectivity is key to critiquing anything.

I like how Deron actually speeds up as he comes off the screen at 11.30.

Looks like they really improved how plays flow.

e/ I really don't like how the AI still spam moves as it tryes to get to the rim.

15.12 Great box out by Howard. I wish that was more consistent.

15.30 Bounce pass looks like morph through the defender.

I like that they added specific commentary for this mode .

@6:11

Rondo: crossover, crossover, crossover, crossover... "Can't get into the paint I guess. Here Avery, why don't you try?"

Brandley: crossover, crossover, behind the back, behind the back, behind the back... "Nope, I can't get in either." He proceeds to kick it out to Green but stays in the paint for the 3 second violation.



I honestly feel 2K has the worst A.I. in all of sports games. If the CPU isn't running a play, you're bound to see a sequence like the one above. Such boneheaded plays are the reason I can't play against the CPU.

I'm hoping they'll overhaul the A.I. for next gen because this nonsense isn't cutting it.

That Knicks starting line-up would be easy to defend. Not three point shooters at all. Floor spacing would be awful.
