Users can take advantage of additional movements either to block or pass the ball (between the legs, behind the back, bounce pass). If you use it together with the left trigger, the control lever allows you to make no-look passes to your teammates. However, you must be careful not to hold the analog stick for too long when you want to make a fake shot because you run the risk of shooting by mistake. These changes try to make the game accessible to new players by offering more intuitive controls. You’ll notice the most important one if you are using a controller to play, as it involves using of the right analog stick ( Pro Stick), that will let you do just about anything with the ball: show-stopping moves or intricate shots. NBA 2K14 comes with several gameplay improvements. With this mode, you can take part in online tournaments with your friends and the player you created in My Player mode. These modes haven’t evolved, but they are the ones that have made this game become the number one NBA game we all know. NBA 2K14 still comes with all the classic modes of the franchise: My Player, My Career, online mode, and training. Last, we shouldn’t forget that these two new options are only an addition to a game that was already solid. What we don’t like is that you have to settle for playing only quick games, in the absence of a game mode devoted entirely to the Euroleague teams. In this case, you have to follow the rules of the European league so, in particular, the defensive three second rule of the NBA disappears. Will you be able to forget about LeBron while you take part in exhibition games with FC Barcelona, CSKA Moscow, Olympiakos, Panathinaikos, and other big European teams? It would’ve been much better if you could choose LeBron’s team, but you can’t.Īnother important innovation of NBA 2K14 is the arrival of the 14 Euroleague teams. Unfortunately, this mode i s no more than a succession of games with a script too linear to be convincing.

In both cases, many challenges are waiting for you, with LeBron who can brag about statistics that reach almost 99%. In the first, LeBron will stay with the Miami Heat to reach the peak of his career or in the second, he’ll join another team.

NBA 2K14 lets you choose between two scenarios. The difference is that you won’t experience the earlier stages of LeBron’s career, as we did with Jordan, but you’ll be with him during his most recent victories. In a similar way to the NBA 2K11's mode was devoted to Michael Jordan, 2K14 gives you the opportunity to guide LeBron James’ career. It's in the LeBron: Path to Greatness mode where you’ll guide his career. The Miami Heat star is present throughout the game, from the cover to the video intro and music that's handpicked by the basketball star. Each NBA 2K has its own featured player, and this time, it’s LeBron James.
