Following up for the first time since the feature reveals from a few weeks ago, 2K Sports today released a new trailer for NBA 2K14 that focuses on the “Eco-Motion” game engine that was built for the two next-gen systems. Improvements to the foot-planting were most evident in the only gameplay footage seen so far but Eco-Motion is said to also greatly enhance the atmosphere, crowd, and the emotion from players.Â
With Eco-Motion, the entire NBA experience comes to life in ways never before seen in a video game, including crowd reactions, atmosphere, coaching strategies, real player voices, and most of all the emotion of the game. Player animations are dynamic, and evolve on the fly as you play. Player personalities and emotions factor into the game as well, affecting how players perform and even behave on the court. No longer will players look like robots on the court. Now you will feel the emotion of the game in a living, evolving basketball environment.
