2K continues its tradition of eminently deep and thoroughly entertaining basketball simulations, albeit without many changes to its feature set.

NBA 2K14 Review:

Cover athletes are typically treated as little more than marketing tools in modern sports video games. Rarely do the presences of those featured athletes tend to bleed their way into the game itself, outside of the obvious stat boosts such a selection would warrant. NBA 2K has been one of the rare exceptions in recent years. In NBA 2K11, cover man Michael Jordan got his own excellent challenge mode, which highlighted key moments from his career. 2K12 featured a gaggle of classic superstars across multiple covers in celebration of the NBA's Greatest mode, which contained numerous nods to some of basketball's best old school rivalries. This year's title, NBA 2K14, once again tries to transcribe the story of its cover star into gameplay, albeit with less interesting results than usual.

This year's cover man is LeBron James. James is unmistakably the biggest name in basketball, and his presence looms large in this game, especially in the new "Path to Greatness" mode. Here, you are tasked with deciding where James will go when his contract is up at the end of this season. This immediately sounds alarm bells related to that disastrous "The Decision" moment from a few years back, where James went so far out of his way to make a big deal about his impending move to Miami from Cleveland that he all but alienated a huge swath of the league's fans (before most non-Cleveland folk promptly forgot about it and started loving him again). Fortunately, this isn't nearly as bad as all of that.

Thanks for watching! Ratings, favorites, and general feedback is always appreciated!
