NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Features, Gameplay, Review: PS4 vs Xbox One Versions Compared
There was enough excitement leading up to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 release of NBA 2K14 that it was only inevitable that the new generation consoles would bring even more anticipation.
The game looks better, plays better, and is the most realistic game of its kind that we've ever seen. All one needs to do is check out the trailer to get an idea of the difference between the current games and the new-generation games.
"Running 1080p resolution at a smooth 60 frames per second on both consoles establishes a gorgeous foundation, but it's the attention to detail -- always a calling card of this series but dialed up an extra notch here -- that guarantees you rubbernecking roommates anytime you play it," Ryan McCaffery says in a review for IGN.com. "The players -- and for the first time, coaches -- look convincingly realistic. More importantly, they move that way too."
Although the game has all kinds of positives since it is on the newest consoles, the review did not come without some negatives. Whether the following things are negative or not is up to the gamer, but we can probably chalk it up as just the learning curve that we will all have when we first experience a new game console.
"First, the ball behaves like its own physics object now, and seemingly because of that it ends up loose or bouncing off a guy's back more often than it should in a game about pro ball players," McCaffery said when describing the negatives to the game. "Also, though the players look and feel noticeably more planted to the court and less floaty than we're used to, I still occasionally caught someone magnetizing over to his nearby assignment."
The game will be available in stores on Nov. 15 for Playstation 4 gamers while Xbox One enthusiasts will have to wait until their console is released on Nov. 22.
