Team 2K Sports has released NBA 2K14 in conjunction with the launch of the PlayStation 4, with the Xbox One hitting on November 19th. Literally every feature in this game has received a serious amount of polish. From motion to career modes, the game looks absolutely amazing. It’s odd to even say that as I’m not a sports fan, but I think I might have to pick this one up – this is a solid game to show off the power of the next-gen hardware. While you load up the trailer above, here’s what we know about the game:
2K Sports today announced that the next-generation console version of NBA® 2K14, which continues the top-rated and top-selling NBA video game simulation series*, is now available for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system. NBA 2K14 for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, will be available at retail in North America on November 19, 2013.
“The next-gen NBA 2K14 experience represents an exciting moment in the evolution of the franchise,” said Greg Thomas, president of product development at 2K Sports. “The power of next-gen allows us to deliver the most dynamic and immersive basketball universe that truly brings the player into the heart of the NBA experience.”
NBA 2K14 for next-gen offers revolutionary, never-before-seen features, including:
ECO-MOTION ENGINE™ – 2K’s groundbreaking, dynamic gameplay engine marries real-life physics, player emotion and deep controls to deliver a seemingly endless variation of actions and reactions that can only be achieved with next-generation technology;
MyCAREER – Experience the NBA life like never before, both on and off the court, as you develop and hone your MyPLAYER through an epic and immersive branching story mode;
THE PARK – An all-new, massive-multiplayer playground mode where up to 100 MyPLAYERs can play street ball, socialize, watch games in progress, and more in a multi-court park;
MyGM – A re-imagined franchise mode that takes grabbing the reins of team management to the next level. Create a GM, craft your management style, manage relationships with players and staff, meet goals set by owners and more as you attempt to lead your team to a championship;
NBA Today – Stay connected to the NBA with a live look at team standings, statistical leaderboards, the Daily Zap brought to you by NBA.com and more. NBA Today keeps you connected to NBA 2K14’s Dynamic Living Roster.
If you are taking advantage of those B2G1 deals that are out there, this might make a good title to round out your trio. It just looks that good. Don’t take my word for it – check out the video above to see how the motion capture work came together to build this game.
