VC is mainly used between M圜areer and MyGM to purchase improvements, but having the same balance to split between both modes makes it tough to decide whether you want to spend to improve your player in M圜areer, or increase his attributes in MyGM where he is the general manager of the team. The menus were a bit tough to navigate (a complaint for most of the game actually), and I didn’t think it quite had the depth of similar modes in other games, like Ultimate Team, but with some time I’m sure it can be great. MyTeam is something I only dabbled with a little because I didn’t really like how it was set up. It is a proper management mode that can take up hours of your life. I enjoyed the MyGM mode due to the amount of control I had over the team, with everything from the on court action to scouting for new players, managing backroom staff, setting the prices for games and concessions, and bringing improvements to the team. MyGM is the management mode of NBA 2K14 where you control every aspect of a team from playing the games to sorting out the finances, whereas MyTeam is similar to FIFA’s Ultimate Team. VC ties all three main elements of the game together including M圜areer, MyGM and MyTeam. The reward payouts also seemed less compared to last year turning M圜areer into a bit of a grind instead of a smooth progression. They’re optional of course but as a result it feels like it is a lot harder to earn points to receive upgrades and improve your player. Instead you have dreaded microtransactions, where you can buy extra VC to improve your player’s stats. In NBA 2K13 you had the option to play a set number of skill games to earn extra VC, but they’re gone from NBA 2K14.

#MY NBA 2K14 UPGRADE#
You can upgrade your player again using Virtual Currency (VC) similar to last year, however this is where the first glaring issue arises. It brings the sense of realism up and is a brilliant addition. There is also 2K’s Real Voice system where real life interviews with players are used during matches either during half time or post game, to comment on plays or the score. The in game commentary once again takes my award for the best commentary of any sports game, though there is some recycling of lines from last year. Also you’ll get actual air footage of the city you’re playing in before a match begins.

When a player speaks during a cutscene the mouth movement matches words to a tee, and visually it is an amazing looking game. Presentation wise, NBA 2K14 is absolutely beautiful with vivid colours and incredibly well done player animations.
