Aaron Holbert ‏@aholbert32 3m#NBA2K14 Redid the scoreboards in each arena and the lighting in each arena. Def noticeable.

Ronnie 2K 2K14 ‏@Ronnie2K 1m "LEDs in score clock and jumbotron act like how LED is supposed to. Measured in Kelvin and reflected against other surfaces."

Aaron Holbert ‏@aholbert32 2m#NBA2K14 watching Lebron face map. Asking him to make intense faces. Can’t lie the game has his and Kobe’s face down.

Chris Manning 2K14 ‏@LD2K 3s The game feels alive. For example, a shooter won't land the same way two times. Animation will adapt to the situation. Truly incredible.

Aaron Holbert ‏@aholbert32 13s Rob talks about points of emphasis. Every coach will have its own ai and strategize based on how the game is going. #NBA2K14

Probably related to the IGN tweet.

 

[Netherscourge]

This is the only Next-Gen looking game I've seen.

Ridiculously fast Zep, well done creating this thread.

Let's see if this is what Kuchera was referring to hours ago.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Haha at some of the backlash tweets when this is what he was referring to. Also haven't played a 2k game in a while will be getting this for PS4.

I don't know why people read so much into that tweet.

He never implied that he had any info that was COD-related or console-specific.

 

[Smokey]

Hey I'm personally just fine with more 2k14 info. Being a follower of Ono on twitter I learned a long time ago not to get my hopes too high with anything I read on it.

[Ivieto1138]

Ryan has been hyping this game a lot. On the rewind theather for the game he said it looks as good or better than the rest of release-day next-gen games. Some people may not feel the hype, but it is exciting to him and therefore he expresses his hype on twitter. I really don't get it, Ryan has said nothing of the whole 720p and it looks like he doesn't care at all, why would he be hyping something so small that most people wont care about?

 

[Tsundere]

Is this guy always mad lol?

Especially since yesterday

Hopefully they get to play BOTH next gen versions.

 

[Mrbob]

Who the heck is this Tim Dog guy I keep see rage tweeting.

 

[giantsx6]

Is this guy always mad lol?

ROFL. Is that guy serious or is that some kind of alter ego he has, no one can be that crazy lmao.

Jesus christ at the rest of his tweets.

This is the saddest twitter account in the world.

 

[jaypah]

Hopefully they get to play BOTH next gen versions.

Yeah, hasn't been enough of that going on.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Is something wrong with Tim Dog or is just he trolling?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Hopefully they get to play BOTH next gen versions.

I would expect them to be almost 100% the same graphics wise.

But Take-Two still has their deal with Sony, so I'd only expect them to show off the PS4 version.

 

[BruiserBear]

Hopefully they get to play BOTH next gen versions.

I was just wondering that. Can you imagine if they only showed the PS4 version?

 

[netBuff]

I would expect them to be almost 100% the same graphics wise.

But Take-Two still has their deal with Sony, so I'd only expect them to show off the PS4 version.

With recent revelations, I'm inclined to expect the PS4 version to run at a higher resolution. But who knows.

 

[dolabla]

Is something wrong with Tim Dog or is just he trolling?

I don't think he's being serious. I think he is just trolling.

 

[Doffen]

GOING TO CHANGE THE GAME GUYZ.

I hope we are playing as the ball and not the athletes.

 

[Tsundere]

Hopefully they get to play BOTH next gen versions.

Probably won't, Sony has a deal with 2K on this no? Would be great advertising for Sony to have all the NBA players promote the game on PS4.

 

[dzelly]

I can feel it coming in the air tonight.

Yupper

 

[SRTtoZ]

Is this guy always mad lol?

lol love it. This guy was such a huge xbox/project natal (kinect) fan back on the gamespot forums...

I cant believe he flipped.
