NBA 2K14
--------
2K’s Visual Concepts studio, the team behind NBA2K14, has seen
it all in the video game world. Founded in 1988, the team has
experienced plenty of new gaming system launches over the years.
But never one like the launch of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Re-energized by the new systems’ technology, the seasoned team at
VC has developed a completely new experience for next-gen NBA
2K14, featuring re-built game modes, a brand-new gameplay engine,
and stunning graphics.
Next-Gen Visuals
----------------
To truly take the game to the next level, to nail the thousands
of interconnected details that create a next generation visual
experience, artists had to change the way they work, starting
with the materials that make up the NBA 2K environment: rubber,
plastic, metal, and vinyl. In the past, artists would
individually recreate each item, but now next-gen technology
enables the team to build a library of materials with the correct
index of refraction, reflection a, and so forth. Everything
in-game, from the scorer’s table and backboards, to human
elements such as skin texture and sweat, was re-created to ensure
the whole package lives up to next-gen realism.

Eco-Motion Engine
-----------------
With Eco-Motion, the NBA experience comes to life in new ways:
Crowd reactions, atmosphere, coaching strategies, real player
voices, and, most of all, the emotion of the game. Player
animations are dynamic, and evolve on the fly as you play. Player
personalities and emotions factor into the game as well,
affecting how players perform and behave on the court.

should be, built exclusively for the next-gen consoles.

staffing, managing player expectations, game pricing, team
facilities, and more. The decisions you make have ripple effects
throughout the organization, both on and off the court. The
Conversation Engine will remember everything you say, so each
