In MyGM you have to acquire virtual currency (vc) to level up your GM so he can unlock tasks like adjusting team rotation minutes or changing the lineup. The entire setup is menu driven where you'll be given options to choose your responses but you don’t hear any actual dialogue. After you select your GM style, you’re interviewed by the owner who asks you a series of questions with the direction the conversation goes in dependent solely by the answers you give him. He's not interested in turning a profit just stacking championship rings. In the case of the Knicks their owner Trent O'Brien is a wealthy business man with a strong personality who puts winning and team image above all else. Each team has an owner with his own unique profile. As the Knicks I chose psychologist which came with a discount on emotional intelligence upgrades.

Before you start your actual career you have to choose what style of GM you want to be-a tactician, physician, evaluator, persuader, broker, entrepreneur, or psychologist-with each one offering a different type of upgrade reward. So the first thing I did was start a career (your GM will be the same likeness of your created my Player) with the NY Knicks and see if I could get my squad’s fortunes turned around. MyGM places you in the shoes of you guessed it, a team’s general manager. The bottom line is it still holds the title of the best playing basketball game ever made.įor this edition, Visual Concept did away with the Association mode and replaced it with a career mode called MyGM. While that may annoy the heads who were looking for a completely different gameplay experience, the new smart AI and NBA-accurate pacing complete with this year’s new Assist Pass and improved dribbling controls will quell any fears. Graphics however will only carry a game so far, so the important question is, does the game play hold up on next gen? If it’s not broke well you know the rest and 2K made the smart decision to ensure that it plays as well as it does on the PS3/360 consoles.

Small things like sweat glistening on their skin or the fabric's intricate pattern contribute to the how excellent this game looks. The facial animation adds depth to the players as they express an array of emotion for each appropriate moment. They’ve got the signature moves and styles that let you identify them with ease. Players are more lifelike, they’ve got more personality, and they look more like themselves. There isn’t another game on the market (we see you Live) that matches 2K14 in capturing player likeness quite like Visual Concepts has done with their roundball simulation. If eye candy graphics are your thing, then NBA 2K14 is a must have.
