0:20 Because it took a min for people to transition from last to next gen lot of people had the same experience with 14 that they did with 13 and games before that so it wasn’t really at its peak yet 2k16 is the gist cuz that’s when 2k hit its peak year and that game was live like countless memories on there

it’s been a while since i’ve heard someone excited to talk about 2k mechanics

It’s insane that we are still talking about an 11 year old game, the modern 2ks should blow this out the water. But they don’t

yo no bs how tf the faces in 14 look better than 25 😂😂😂

2k14 on PC had old graphics. I was pissed

2k15 the best my 6’8 was a true bron build

Look bro 2k10 and 11 had blacktop quick games and crew mode where you can play like Pro-Am in today's 2k it was wild

Def jam is a street game it's basically WWE streets

23:20 these player shadows are so nonexistent, the game just looks so much faker 😭

The last great wwe game i remember i never bought another one after 2k15

me and my cousin was talking about this yesterday, we literally said 2k14-2k17 had the best graphics and gameplay in my opinion.

Yup, 2k14 was smooth, when u did something it actually did it right away. The dribbling isn’t responsive but ppl forget to mention the passing, passing so delayed now too. Offense felt so good on 2k14, loved the layup animations and feel of the game. 2k11/2k16 still the best 2ks tho

Recent 2k got me dizzy watching cutscenes

How many people in the comments section remember playing Double Dribble, Hoops, and Jordan vs Bird on NES? I was born in '79 and don't see many gamers my age.

3:30 I think that's an understatement. It's arguably THE BEST transition to a new console. Typically the first (sports) games on a new gen are done very poorly because the developers don't have the experience in developing for the new hardware. Madden 2008 for PS2 was greatly underrated b/c it was on PS2 when Madden for PS3 was already out. NBA 2k14 was absolutely great and it's kind of an anomaly for being so great for it's first year on next gen(at the time).

I miss when Mycareer and 2k was actual simulaton basketball. Now its turned into another PvP game like Fortnite and Cod where nerds find the glitchiest way to win and think they are good at hoops. I still play 2k19 My career for the last 6 years. Offline lets me play with overalls and do whatever I want lol why should I ever buy a new one if they are just focused on online

I hope the same people that felt this way didn’t go out and buy 25.

Crazy how 2k became the madden of basketball games

2k14 is literal dogshyt

If the shooting is bad to you on 2k24 don’t even play 2K25 😅

2k14 is the best ever

I'm sorry i could barely make it past all those same ass story lines they told the exact same way for the past 3 years, that stuff was unbearable, i must say. and i only played them to unlock stuff for my own chsracter and story mode, i got so sea sick from it i had my nephew play it since he loved dx so much(on each game too). i couldn't have cared less hahaha. then the games were slow as all get out and you had to win under certain conditions, i was just over it all. But i think in '14 is when we got the Sincara entrance yo that entrance and music was beautiful. I think one of the games let you play on older stages or something like that that was cool as in Armageddon(2008) lol i would name more but i forgot so many of them i can't recall

Best wrestling game ever facts I loved this game

In my opinion 2k15 for the PS4/Xbox one was the best Graphics were amazing Scoreboard was awesome Player movement was better My league was decent not the best but not the worst My career was the best in the whole series

I disagree, I'd say NBA2K17 was the last good 2K game then it all went to shambles

2k16 is the best ever.

I still play nba live 19

Without even watching the video I can tell anyone now 2k14 was NOT the best. Fun game but other than mycareer offline the game was half of what we had last gen and park was unplayable the majority of the year

my cutoff was 2k23 and since then I've heard a lot of good things about older 2ks, and I'm currently in the process of waiting for the copy of 2k14 I brought to come in the mail

Live fell off when the dude they hired from 2k went back to 2k lol

2k23 was my cutoff

just bring back the old days ☹ i miss nba live 2023

Still think 2k9 is the best basketball simulation…

The greed and the micro transactions suck, but the sim basketball side of the game is still good. Myteam is the devil though! Don’t play it and never buy packs!!

2k11 or 2k14 for me. Easy to remember 2k14 is the first 2k for the ps4 and for 2k11 the cover was MJ

This the only 2k i didn’t/couldn’t play

Wait a second. Why in the F*^kin world does ALL talk about the next gen 2k14? Ya'll forget the old gen version?

Fun fact, Lebrun James chose every soundtrack for 2k14

Just took me back lmao... 2k14 i thought my cousin boosted kawhi's stats shit was crazyyyyy i didnt know who tf kawhi leonard was he was dunking over everybody and making every 3 i remeber the shit like it was yesterday 😂😂😂

I really enjoyed this 2k. The next gen graphics blew my mind!!!

Ever since xmas there are times when myteam is so laggy its unplayable. Ive never lagged in any game outside 2k. Fast connection wired to the router. And the passing is horrible but I've learned bounce passes help in certain situations

Two words THE LIGHTING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🐐 everyone know how goated the graphics are already

Bro 2k14 was my first modern 2k . I played 2k 2k1 and 2k2 . I fell in love with 2k14. I loved a good story mode since I play other genres . Still easily the best looking 2k ever also. And I still listen to most of this soundtrack to this day

2K10 brought us the Blacktop team up then 2K11 gave us Crew team up. And the reason why 2K11 is goateed, you played my career to level your character with SP and no need to purchase VC.

You mean nba live 2005

2k 24/25 I feel you I feel stuck in the mud with a85 speed. wtf I should be able to move I’m trying to cut back door sometimes I can’t cause I get stuck I’m trying to play Defense and I cant

I love the story cutscene
