They will be seeing and playing the game.

According to 2k this game is not a port. Built a whole new engine. It’s called Ecomotion. Says the game is more alive than ever b4. Built specifically for next gen.

Leg tattoos are in the game. Highlight clip playing. Game looks incredible. New celebrations shown.

More detailed my player. More hairstyles and facial hair.

brand new landing page and menu. 4 main pillars nba today, my career, my gm and my team.

nba today is brand new. Video highlights from previous days games. Menu looks like a scoreboard w/ all games listed.

new loading screened. New game intro but has some similar elements to current gen.
new starting lineup overlay. Gsw versus the heat.
Points of emphasis added to the game. Old NCAA2k feature.
No warmup outfit for bench players. Crowd much improved.
game looks great. Most of the details look better especially the players. Wasn’t crazy about Curry’s face though.
talking graphics now. Details are crazy. Even the rim has scuffs. Looks like 2k took each arena and really upgraded them.
2k claims the arenas were redone. Looks great up close. Skeptical about whether these details will matter when playing the game.
Redid the scoreboards in each arena and the lighting in each arena. Def noticeable.
less duplicates in the crowd. FYI the gameplay clip we saw was only 4 possessions.

face mapped Kobe Bryant. KB helped with his player model. He loved the model.
#NBA2K14 watching Lebron face map. Asking him to make intense faces. Can’t lie the game has his and Kobe’s face down.
KD’s and Iguodala face maps. Both look great. Even have Kd’s bad skin. 2nd look at curry. Not as bad as I thought originally.

looks great. Really no sliding. Now showing dribbling. Ball actually rotates while dribbling. Not in current gen.

(switching to LD2K) & mixing is ahol
The detail of MyPlayer customization gives you a unique look this year. The selected MyPlayer looks awfully familiar... Hmmmm...
Daily zap allows for stats, highlights from a real video. All your NBA news connected on your console updated DAILY.
This is all driven by Dynamic Living Roster - which is adjust daily based on how players are performing in the real world.
Level of detail showcased in clip with arena angles, behind backboards, cameramen, cords. mics etc. Level of detail is stunning.
Little imperfections of dirt on the backboard tells you all you need to know about the attention to detail. They built a material library.
Details shown at scorers table. A thumbprint on a monitor is shown. Level of detail that went into next-gen
Now showing off the new LED dynamic lighting system. Just stunning. Scoreboard lights are dynamic and showcase reflections.
They actually measure the color temperature of lights and count the number of lights and manufacturer of lights. Getting the lighting right.
The team captured and head scanned constantly working around NBA schedules to capture nearly every player in the NBA.
This is photo realism.

Speaks about elevating the game harnessing the tech. Primarily in physics and animations. Foot planting clips shown.
This "feels completely different" than any other 2K game has felt before. Physics of movement completely lifelike.

Now speaking to ball handling. Eco Motion allows them to track true physics. Ball spinning when dribbling, ball in hands. Tangible object.
new animation system. Guys will have real life wingspans. New KD shoes look great.
Now speaking to the new animation system. Smooth transitional blends between moves, real life wing spans that affect gameplay.
animation synthesis. Animation will change based on circumstances. If KD takes a shot and D is guarding him tight, anim will change
The game feels alive. For example, a shooter won't land the same way two times. Animation will adapt to the situation. Truly incredible

Coach will adapt to what is happening in the game. So game plans will dynamically change based on what other teams are doing.
Every coach will have its own ai and strategize based on how the game is going
9 different options on o and d to strategize how to defend or attack ur opponent.
Showcasing how A.I adapts to your play. A "Human dynamic change" that coaches will implement. Only on next gen is this possible.
clip shows different defensive formations based on POE. Looks good in motion.

Emotion Plus allows emotions to translate into performance. How this will affect players.
Emotion Plus will categorize all the players personalities. Kobe is an Alpha Dog. He wants the ball, he's fierce
That emotion he has allows him to harness that high level of play and it is showcased in the game. Players will show emotion - high and low

MyGM now (adding in Czar Tweets as needed)
Your MyPlayer becomes GM. Has unique attributes on how you react with owners, players and the world around you. :shock:
engine remembers everything you say and do and will remind you
your success in this mide depends on managing the Emotional intelligence of players around you
have discussions with individual players.
In MyGM includes conversations. You have to asses the emotional intelligence of the person you're talking too.
You will get fired from the owner of you don't maintain harmony in org., locker room and fan base. Revolutionizes what franchise mode is.
Sim gave example of cousins wanting trade after 5 losses and The gm was fired at the end of the season.
This is the complete evolution of association mode. Decisions and reactions is what this mode is all about. [replaces Assocaition Mode]
Hot dog prices etc.
I’m bummed because it appears that multi user association may be gone.
@leftosa So happy that the news about MyGM are now out. This is the most exciting thing for me,worked on it so much along with my amazing colleagues. To think that this amazing mode is merely the first iteration of our vision... Can't stop playing and tuning at work. It's just ...amazing.

One last thing, a completely new take on our most played mode. MyCAREER mode. Cinematic opening is showcased.
Bow showing my career. Seems to be story driven.
"This is my story and I ain't gonna let nobody write but me." More cinematicas shown. A completely NEW experience for MyCAREER.
graphics look great in my player. Rookie showcase is still the way you are drafted. #NBA2K14
New cutscenes and characters in my player. Really looks good.
#NBA2K14 49 hrs of gameplay in first year of my career. Cutscenes look great.
Complete cut scenes in MyCAREER. Team captured hundreds and hundreds of scenes. A rival, agent, buddies and a compete cast of characters.
This mode "will leave you asking, "what will happen next?" Building relationships, making deals, making choosing.
They are trying to engage you into the mode and immerse you. Some who create their own story may not like as much. But looks cool
The scenes are well done you decide how to answer in some of them. Does add to the story
Little noise talking between your my player and the guy your playing against.
#NBA2K14 can’t lie. My player looks incredible. I may play a lot more of that this year.
Cut scenes of MyPlayer and rival jawing at each other before rookie showcase. The rival and MyPlayer do NOT like each other to say the least
After that scens you can answer teach him a lesson or I'm cool. the voice obers are well done like GTA.
Interactive story mode is what he called it. 40 hours of stuff in year 1 alone.

Alright. Presentation is winding down. I’ll be tweeting less as I get to play the game.
Wait one more thing coming... When you're not balling in MyCAREER, you can hang out with hundreds of MyPlayers in the Park.
Open field of courts shown with hundreds of MyPlayers playing. Quite a tease... Hmmmm... Conclusion of the presentation.
WHAT
ah snap you can hang out with up 100 of your my player friends at what they call te park!
WHAT
#NBA2K14 possible new online mode called the park. Looks like crew but I will need more information.

We'll be taking much more about our game in the coming weeks. It's safe to say this
Presentation is over. Now eeryone here can be scanned into the game as a my player and hands on. But no video. also interviews.
I am watching gameplay. was scanned in earlier so yall can play as Czar as a my player.



Post Presentation Infos

Legends are in “@Guilain23: @Da_Czar are the legends still there ?”
Opinions are my own.

It just hit me, it's going to be next to impossible to hold off on Next Gen.... I actually had the crazy Idea I might be able to hold of until next year. These press details are definitely pushing me towards that ledge.

They talked about how they measure lighting in each stadium. Now they better have team colors, jersey colors, and team court colors right. Would be pretty stupid if they talk about details like lighting, finger print on the monitor and get colors and parquet wrong.

Coach AI - do they change only in reaction to what the opposing team does, or do they change as their roster changes?

As Far as I've heard it sounds like MyGM is basically Revamped Association mode. It was my favorite too btw.


Here is an article on it.

one more thing:

"was scanned in earlier so yall can play as Czar as a my player."

What if 2k takes advantage of PS4's eye and 2 lenses so it can scan your head. that would be crazy.

MyGM

My GM is new franchise mode. Lots of RPG elements are in the next-gen game.

MyGM is a cerebral experience. Every decision changes the world around you. GM has attributes and special abilities.

MyGM includes conversations. You have to asses the emotional intelligence of the person you're talking too.

You will get fired from the owner of you don't maintain harmony in your organization, locker room and fan base. Revolutionizes what franchise mode is.

This is the complete evolution of association mode. Decisions and reactions is what this mode is all about.

"We have built a completely new experience for franchise players. All your day to day experiences have no right or wrong answers."


Hmm, I only play association so I'm intrigued about the MyGM thing. I don't really want to have to explain to Robert Sarcre why he isn't playing much behind Gasol/Monroe/Hill/Harrington only for him to become unhappy and Jim to fire me. :|

While we still need to see it in action and ultimately feel it in our hands, everything about the new engine sounds great. I have to say it, if only to give Leftos a chuckle, but I do hope that some of the issues with the current gen engine - the problems with offensive rebounding, players getting stuck on one another, the ball clipping through hands, heaviness to the controls, etc - have been largely eliminated with this next gen tech. I imagine there'll be plenty to like about it and gameplay should be great, though no doubt we'll have our gripes. Perfection is a lofty goal after all and we're a basketball gaming community, so naturally we'll be looking at absolutely everything.

MyGM sounds like the evolution of the Dynasty/Association concept that we've been waiting for, with a lot of the stuff that JaoSming and Leftos were talking about in regards to their project which ultimately didn't get off the ground when Leftos joined 2K. So much the better I guess, actually being in the game! Having your MyPLAYER as the GM is an interesting touch and a nice idea. It definitely sounds like there'll be more strategy and varying experience based on the way you run your team. Awesome.

I have to admit, I'm not that thrilled by that description of the new MyCAREER. Credit where its due, it sounds like a lot of work has gone into it, it'll still be immersive and all that, but I don't really like the idea of it being storyline driven and somewhat linear. I guess there'll be enough forks in the road so that everyone's experience isn't exactly the same, but...I don't know. It's worked out OK in wrestling games in the past but professional wrestling is all storylines in real life anyway. Again, credit where its due for the creativity, the depth and the amount of work has been put into it, but I don't know that it's the direction I would've liked to have seen. I'll give it a try, but I think I might be more inclined to play MyGM.

Those are the highlights for me. We definitely got a lot of good information there, so kudos to 2K for not holding back. (Y)
