The thing about NBA2K14’s shooting is, badges, spacing, and hot spots matter; not just the shot quality and shot release. Shot creating is also key, along with creating in each player’s specific hot spots. Once you understand the game’s mechanics, the makes and misses make sense the majority of the time.
“Greens” weren’t a thing back then. Nothing was guaranteed, so you were really encouraged to take the best shots possible. 2k should revisit some of their notes
@@ababilashari9970 so you telling left and right spam is fun? overpowered dribbling moves that you LITERALLY CAN'T guard because your player slower than the actual animation of dribbler that is pulling ball in all directions at the same time spinning and looping around just to shoot green from half court because they know latency timing and you dont? If thats fun, I dont know what you on buddy, but that aint basketball. If you WANT to have fun you go to NBA 2K PLAYGROUNDS, or NBA Street games. THOSE ARE FUN. But in nba 2k you go to try to feel realistic experience of playing basketball. Last game which represented that feeling was nba 2k19. In fact 2k14 (Consoles version); 2k15 (not really but animations were well made, gameplay was very stiffy but animations smoothed bad experience making it good); 2k16; 2k19; Kinda 2k20. Those are last great nba 2k games. 4 LAST YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN SUCKING MONEY OFF A KOBE'S DEATH. TRIBUTE, DLC, PRE ORDERS, GOLD EDITIONS. Yet gameplay worse each year.
@@nevousabonnezpas4286 2k16 had far more animations and was less free flowing than the games he mentioned. In 16 even your signature dribble moves were an animation
Ik this might sound weird but it’s 100% true. The reason you were missing with Curry, Starks and the shooters that had high ratings but was making with lower 3pt rated players like Gerald Green, Bradley is all because of their jumpshot animations. Specifically the “base” animations, some are just more cheese than others
Also having ratings that are too high doesn't help because defenders just guard you tighter. Defenders just straight up sag off you when you have like 80 3pt or lower.
@@thegoat9396 Theres a couple sites online that still have Updates for 2K14 I personally got most of my updates from one called "Mackubex " ,They have a pretty complete update package including more recent trades , player cyberfaces and player names
I’ll never forget when my friend bought this game and a ps4 when the console was still new and going over to his place to play it for the first time, I couldn’t get off the game
this was the game that started me on the path to becoming the greatest 2k player ever. which i achieved before the release of 2k15 and have remained since
RUclips algorithm actually recommending me a solid content creator! Really entertainment, solid memes and funny dude. Hope you get to NBA 2k15 and the absolutely HORRENDOUS voice acting(especially dion waiters)
my thing with the greening in this game is, it is WAY, and i mean WAY too easy to green your shot, the shot timing is set to where there are 5000 cues to shoot your shot, and another thing to mention, this was made in 2013 if im not mistaken, so the idea that you could be a shooting threat from wherever and shoot 20/20 from the field wasn't a concept, which forces you to finish at the rim as well, which is also one of my favorite parts of the game
Maaaan we beyond spoiled with this new shooting nowadays. The cheese heads think it’s skill doing the slimiest shit and because they know their players release they get bailed out for it essentially because…they timed it right. It’s basketball, you can have an open shot and like he said it feels good but shit sometimes you’ll even airball. I’ve grown to truly dislike automatic makes for greens. It’s not sim at all it’s arcade.
Fun fact: You could just hold the shoot button literally until way after the ball was released on threes playing online to hit shots whether the release text was Excellent or not. Made a killing off that back in the day driving and kicking
I love the shooting in this game. It’s like real life, just cuz you have a perfect release, doesn’t mean it’s going that. Realistic to me. Best 2K gameplay ever, most importantly. Most fluid 2K, and the best looking 2K ever. I still play it today. Favorite 2K of all-time.
Editing is really impressive. 2k15 is my favorite of PS4 gen to play but 2k14 is close and probably better to look at. I really think it got slower and less impressive graphically after, this had to be the biggest jump in a long time. I just need a shot meter as a crutch plus 14 is a bit too fast (not to mention stripped features from Association to MyGM) or it would rival 15 for me.
2:30 i only really had a problem shooting with certain people. Which means it was jumpshot related. I could never hit 3's with my Pink Diamond KD for some reason.
Played 2K14 way back when it released, the gameplay which you have explained that you still miss a shot even it's green, is because it also relies on their scoring stats together with consistency stat.
This was my first 2k after 2k5 with ben Wallace on the cover . PlayStation gave it away with ps plus on ps3 and I instantly fell in love with this game . I liked 2k15 also but after 2k20 I stopped buying 2k due to the greed of the devs . I was noticing they went from you being able to earn a decent amount of vc to forcing you to buy vc
used to play this game hours on end, would create 99 overall team and just abuse any team, remember once scoring over 65 pointd with Moses on hall of fame,i would legit play 10 minute quater games all the time
“He got the carlos boozer” bro still catching strays for that cut even to this day lmao

I wouldn’t call it a cut, more like a paint 💀
That cut a whole spray can full 😂😂😂

So true. That game is fun as hell and is simulation ball.

a lil late but it is OUTRAGEOUS how much you can miss. I think it just needed to be toned back especially bc the cpu doesn't miss
Great vid. If this was 2k25 gameplay and graphics, nobody would notice. Literally peaked in 2k14
If a game is still talked about a decade after its initial release, you know it's legendary 💯🐐
Playing it Right NOW!!!!😂😂
Especially after watching 2k25 Gameplay

Why does the gameplay look sooooo much smoother and better in this than the latest games? How do they keep making the game worse?
"realism" (sometimes whats realistic isnt fun)

Never played ut but does look very free flowing ngl. The on thing that really looks like an animation, seem to be jumpshots, kinda stiff.

How do you update it?

My man keep creating. Your editing is solid and you're funny as hell. Good luck.
If everything was the same from 2k14 and they just updated every team and player I would play that more then any other 2k.
Same
I’m sure there’s mods out there for that
Im currently playing nba nba 2k5 mod and slam dunk mod
Great video dawg! Loved the editing🔥 just subscribed can't wait to see whats next!
2k14 MJ with hair look like R.Kelly 🤣

2k14 and fifa14 are the best
The Atlanta Hawks drafted all my characters. I gave up trying to go to another team after awhile
The game made you play on the hawks.
Nah I’m on the mavs in my career
@@skythatguymeant to reply to u
Gerald Green was GOAT’d.
I'm pretty sure 2k14 next gen did have descriptions of the signature skills. Especially when you're trying to purchase them in MyCareer.
It does. You press triangle or Y once your in the purchase menu to see the descriptions
just discovered this channel, please upload some more my friend good job
I like that dunk animation so intense and looks heavier than now
It’s made the game look way more natural and intensive not sold like this day 😂

Wish we had this version on pc. You should do a video on the ultimate base roster
Really love the editing style brother

Hoping you do more of these! New sub
This 2k14 be different from the one I play on PC.
I remember answering the draft questions like it was my real life decisions
The graphics was so special man
If the next gen 2k14 were only in PC. But kudos to the modders of 2k14 pc. The game is still alive up to this day. 😁🔥
Fr bro I would give the modders the yearly $70 I would usually give 2k
I see you with that dbxv theme playing 👀 u a W for that 💯
Fam got straight to the point
One of the best 2k basketball games ever. The switch from Xbox 360 to the Xbox one was a big difference with this one here ! 🔥🔥🔥
To this day I play NBA 2k14 on pc and not the next gen version.
how’d you get it on pc?
Still play this game with my roommate weekly - best gameplay of any 2k ever and great graphics
14-16 park was lit
Even in 14 PlayStation had a exclusive court
I literally just picked it up again for $2 today. I used to be so obsessed with how In depth the mycareer and mygm
You could get lebrons coast to coast on your myplayer by impressing LeBron everytime yall play
I hated Harden, Jeremy Lamb, Curry, Clay on this game.
Bron also was a timeout monster, you get the lead get bench then suddenly they're blowing out
not only that there are some still playing this game but also there are still some creating mods for it
Got this game for the ps4, the graphics, gameplay were just amazing playing it with friends. The only nba game i played
I miss the flash shot time😢
loved the lighting in this game
Funny i literally bought this and 2k16 like a month ago😅 they are so much fun to play!!
Fun fact: You could just hold the shoot button literally until way after the ball was released on threes playing online to hit shots whether the release text was Excellent or not. Made a killing off that back in the day driving and kicking

"and when I say old shaq, I mean like shaq right now" I spat out my coffee.
wished for the game for christmas and its fire (i never got to play it when i was younger)
it would'nt be 2k14 if you didn't miss greens consistently XD
Thank you sir amazing video
Yeah man Missing Buckets while you hit an Excellent Release would make a grown man cry like Benzino
The xenoverse music caught me WAYY off guard.

I still play 2k14, haven't looked back since. I find almost no flaws in it. I play on PC, and it looks totaly different than what you're showing
They didn't release next gen on pc
that ridge racer type 4 soundtrack tho
how tf do things looks better 10 years ago then today, wtf are 2K doing
Kale lettuce doing my state maine proud
14 really makes me feel like I'm taking the jumpshot wish it didn't
that xv2 music caught me off guard too
Was that Paul Heyman?
I like how big the court is
Your player looked like Michael Beasley 😂😭
Wish I was on next gen at this time, missed out on this game
I had this back in the day I was a PG on Suns that had Isaia Thomas Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe I didn't get no playin time 😂
bud in 2k14 was either running 3 bigs lineups or he had kyle korver at PF, no middle ground
myplayer looking like if michael beasley and kawhi had a kid
I remember you had to pre-order or something to get that lebron coast to coast badge
