    ***** EA. Imagine how sick NFL 2K14 would have been, instead we get stuck with crappy Madden which looks the exact same from current-gen to next-gen.

    ESPN NFL 2K5 dominated Madden 05 so much EA had to throw money at the NFL. And ***** the NFL for agreeing to exclusivity as well.

    I think the last football game I actually played was NFL 2K4 or 5. Once I saw Madden had exclusivity on the license I was done. I miss NFL 2k. Can't wait to play 2k14 on my ps4.

    random gameplay question.....

    I was playing multiplayer versus with my cousins, 2 of us on one team and 1 on the other. My cousin who was playing by himself could not switch players on defense nor could he use R1 to pass directly to a certain player, anyone know how to change that to allow us to play normally like in 1v1, thanks.

    It should be under the settings option. This has happened the last few years where it locks you in a certain position on the floor. You can fix it in the middle of a game by switching the setting to "none" or something like that.

    On one hand, the half-time interview is pretty cool. On the other hand, it looks pretty rough. Kind of takes me out of the experience. Might have preferred that they polished that up some before putting it in the game.

    Maybe I've just seen too much, maybe it was the quality of the off screen recording but I wasn't really impressed. Also, why the hell is everyone orgasming about the fact that they had a half time interview? I dunno, it looks just like 360 2k14 to me (obviously the next gen trailers they put out do NOT look like 360).

    One other thing: Again, this may be related to the offscreen gameplay. It may also just be youtube's craptacular encoding. It seems like there's a lot of aliasing there, I know on ps3 because of the architecture that most games were 1080p without anti-aliasing. My understanding was that due to the changes that ps4 games would be able to be 1080p and also have typical AA included. Am I wrong here? RC?

    Impressive. I'm really liking this. Too bad it's only exclusively for PS4. Xbox will not have this feature.

    There are different modes of AA. Some of them can be enabled with very little impact to performance, while others do require a bit more work by the GPU (but usually result in better quality). I think the GPUs support some "free" low-quality AA, but they sometimes result in image quality issues (blurs the image some). I think the best quality AA still requires rendering the image in a higher resolution, and not sure there's really much about that than can be had for free (though all the extra bandwidth and GPU components in the PS4 will help with that). Of course, at 1080p, aliasing it usually less of an issue (though still a problem).

    As for 2K, I didn't really pay much attention to aliasing in the video. I can't really judge image quality too well with a video like that. I think the visuals were fine. Looked much better than current-gen, but yes, at those gameplay angles, it likely won't wow anyone. I don't think much can really be done about that. Some massive improvements in animation could possibly help, but that would require a lot of work and it would also conflict with the control scheme for the game (most likely). Visually, it will likely be very difficult to notice huge improvements, until you get close-up shots. Still, things like lighting are pretty apparent to me.

    Basically, it looks good to me, but it is definitely a launch game based on a lot of tech from the 360/PS3 versions of the game (i.e., an evolution of those games, not something completely new).

    The voice stuff is cool, but it still looks really rough. I guess as long as they work on it, I appreciate them doing it (though I will likely skip them quite often). Needs some more stances, better facial animation (and less dead eyes), and Burke looks horrible (no face scan I guess?).

    Nevermind, I think I may have misread that somewhere.

    How is that amazing? It's just a gimmick. I'll probably like it the first week, then try to skip it after that. Just like that post game interview, its so annoying.
