Dr. J Added to NBA 2K14
Despite carrying over most of the legends from the previous iterations NBA 2K14 lost a couple big names and even a few entire teams. One of the most prominent missing players was Julius Erving. ‘Dr. J’ appeared in NBA 2K12 but was absent from 2K13 and until earlier today 2K14.
2K Sports has added Erving to the 1976-77 Philadelphia 76ers historic team however he remains missing from the 1984-85 Sixers squad. For now that one 76ers team is the only place to find him but eventually he will make it into MyTeam mode were some other legends also reside.

New Screenshots Show More From Next-Gen NBA 2K14
The deluge of info yesterday regarding the Xbox One and PS4 versions of NBA 2K14 was then followed by gameplay footage. Still there is a lot to learn about the game with just three weeks until release of the PS4. The four central modes (MyCareer, MyTeam, MyGM, and NBA Today) were discussed but not in great detail. Screenshots released today provide at least a glimpse of a few of those modes and how they’ll differ from current-gen.
There is one screenshot each that comes from MyCareer, MyTeam, and MyGM (formerly Association) modes. With MyCareer headed down a more story-driven path the screen shows the MyPlayer and another who is being set up as a “rival” beginning with the Rookie Showcase. The MyGM image comes from a contract negotiation (oddly sans agent) and displays the “Conversation Engine” that will play a part in a multitude of interactions. Head over to the FB album for 2K14 to check out all the screenshots released to date.

First NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Gameplay Footage
The first video featuring direct feed gameplay footage from next-gen NBA 2K14 comes from Gamespot on the heels of all the feature reveals today.
While the reviewer expresses thoughts after playing briefly what is more valuable is that first look at the game in action. Graphics certainly look significantly better and the foot-planting evident but otherwise it looks a lot like the 2K basketball consumers have been drawn to in recent years and not as drastic a change some may have envisioned with the talk of a new engine.

First NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Feature News
At a press event held earlier today 2K Sports finally revealed details on what to expect from the next-gen version of NBA 2K14.
