You actually get to see the conversations and negotiations take place.

But unlike Madden NFL‘s Connected Franchise mode, it’s a whole lot more than just menus. The new Association mode MyGM, not surprisingly, puts players in the shoes of a new NBA general manager. This guy acts as both the GM in MyGM and the player in MyPlayer, which have been geared to definitely please more basketball fans. When first booting up the game after initial installation, like the previous generation, you’re immediately encouraged to make your own avatar. On the other hand, it’s been replaced with a mode that more people can definitely appreciate. If you’re a huge LeBron James fan and are only interested in NBA 2K14 because of LeBron’s Path to Greatness mode, well, that’s gone.Īs a fan of LeBron myself, that sucks, I know. It’s not the gigantic step NBA fans might want, but it does solidify itself as a solid launch purchase for anybody picking up a next-gen console this holiday. NBA 2K14 on the PlayStation 4 doesn’t only look better, it plays better and simply does more. With NBA 2K14, that absolutely isn’t the case. They couldn’t even be talked about in the same sentence as the previous generation’s iteration. When looking at the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release of Madden NFL 06 and comparing it to Madden NFL 06 on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube, the newer generation iterations simply paled in comparison. Previous sports game debuts on next generation consoles featured bare-boned gameplay.

Now basketball fans can rest assured knowing the next generation versions of NBA 2K14 are, indeed, the best basketball games available. In our review of the current or, rather, last generation version of NBA 2K14, I plainly said it was the best basketball game available, but it might not be worth the $60 simply because the PS4/Xbox One iterations might be better.
