NBA 2K14 Available for iOS Devices
In addition to the console versions released today NBA 2K14 has also arrived for iOS devices (download from iTunes here) for $8. That is the same price NBA 2K13 released at on mobile to generally poor reviews while other companies have instead been trending towards the free-to-play model. It is not yet out for Android but expected sometime this month. Unfortunately 2K Sports did not provide any details on app features so at this point users would be buying blind. NBA 2K13 featured the NBA...

New NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Trailer
2K Sports today released a new teaser trailer for the next-gen version of NBA 2K14. Like the trailer that debuted at E3 it doesn't offer any insight into what to expect from the game but does include very brief replay footage from actual gameplay. The timing for the trailer release is somewhat odd coming just a day before the release of current-gen but will accomplish a goal of stealing the Xbox One/PS4 conversation away from competitor NBA Live 14 which inexplicably let its prime opp...

No Pre-Release Demo for NBA 2K14
In recent days it had become apparent that 2K Sports had decided to pass on the usual pre-release demo with NBA 2K14. There was no promotion of the demo date - today being the last possible date for one - and on social media representatives ignored all requests from fans for demo info while PR ignored media requests for comment. Without anything official coming out of the company it took until today to report with any certainty that it would be the case. While this doesn't necessarily ind...

MyTeam Details for NBA 2K14
Last year 2K Sports introduced MyTeam, a take-off of the popular Ultimate Team modes found in EA Sports titles, providing the company a digital revenue stream that had been lacking. Though it had its share of fans it didn't prove as popular and birthed what was arguably the worst aspect of NBA 2K13 that being the "VC" system. It was just the first year though and it takes time to grow modes such as MyTeam. For NBA 2K14 improvements include tournaments, leaderboards, the ability to play fr...

First NBA Live 14 Gameplay Trailer
EA Sports today released the first trailer for NBA Live 14 featuring actual footage from the game. At E3 the company showed off next-gen trailers for Madden NFL 25 and FIFA 14 but unlike those the Live trailer was entirely pre-rendered. NBA Live 14 will release on November 19 landing three days in advance of the Xbox One but four days late for the PS4. Known features thus far include the Ignite Engine, BounceTek dribbling system, signature dribble moves for 50+ players, "Rising Star" care...

NBA Live 14 Gets Release Date; Will Miss PS4 Launch By Four Days
EA Sports today announced that NBA Live 14 will release for both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on November 19. That means it will be out in advance of the One but four days late for the PS4. Missing the PS4 launch by four days is actually a bigger deal than it might seem on the surface. With NBA 2K14 out there on day one, EA will unquestionably miss out on some potential sales from those looking to grab games along with the console. There no longer will be the decision to be made between...
