GIZORAMA - NBA 2K14 continues to shine as the premiere basketball simulator on gaming consoles. While there isn’t necessarily a whole lot new on offer in this latest edition, it is the most refined and balanced of any of the previous games. That said, it does have its shortcomings.
The singular new mode added on to 2K14 is LeBron’s Path to Greatness, a mode that let’s you decide the future of the NBA great. You are given the option to take him from the Heat and out into the wilds of free agency. Placed on a different team, it is your task to lead whatever crew you end up with to victory. It’s an interesting hypothetical. Would LeBron be as successful, or even more so, were he paired with different teammates? How would the titanic match-ups within the league play out with a different supporting cast? This is really more of a fun aside than a true homage to the King. When you got to play the highlights of Jordan’s career back in 2K12, it was definitely more exciting, and more fun....
So NBA 2K14 won’t be joining us in 2016
Its ok I hated 2k14 it was complete ass. 2k16 is miles better you'd be doing yourself a disservice sticking with that old shit.
I think it's pretty sad when they do this to a two year game. But I suppose, when they make yearly releases it's to be expected. But, there are games that still have servers up. I know it's not nearly the same, but I can still play Call of Duty 2 on the 360 online and there is still some people playing. That came out in 2005. A 10 year old game is still active with the sequels also active.
I would welcome a future where sports games just released new updates/add-ons instead of releasing new games each year. Just upgrade the graphics and so on and release a new game every few years maybe.
Realistically, there probably were not enough people playing 2k14 to justify keeping the servers running. It's more practical to repurpose those servers for the newer games that more people play. I'm sure the vast majority of sports gamers moved on to 2k15 or 2k16.
