Even cooler is that it's not the same old 2-3 teams that are on the covers every year. It's fresh. Good players on subpar teams that are making efforts to be great

Hopefully the Memphis broadcast team is somewhat tolerable

yo did anyone see that new Next gen 2k trailer? if not here you go

Damn that trailer is sick, can't wait to try out the next gen. This gen cycle has been wayyyyyyyyyyy too long.

Everyone should get a PS4 and we can get a realGM online association started.

I've been with Xbox for so long, but with how crappy the rollout with XboxOne, I might make the switch to the PS4. Both systems are soooooo damn close this cycle though, it's hard to decided which to get.

Yeah seems like a lot of Xbox only people have been saying similar things. I had both PS3 and 360 this generation and I plan on just going only PS4 this time. The Xbox One just isn't appealing to me sadly. Don't care about Kinect at all, and Xbox's exclusives just aren't really my thing either for the most part. Like I used to love Halo, but I don't like what 343 did with Halo 4 and how the multiplayer feels more like Call of Duty. I miss Bungie, but thankfully they have Destiny coming out and not only is it coming to PS4, but they are kind of sided with Sony as well with exclusive content.

But yeah, the Xbox One is a $100 more and it's a weaker console with more of a focus on entertainment and not video games, so I'm definitely going PS4. I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy the Xbox One though which is great, it's just not for me. Plus Sony has Naughty Dog, who is my favorite developer, so how can I not want a PS4? Oh and 2k14 next gen looks amazing, NBA live....not so much.

microsoft makes some head-scratching decisions sometimes

[KillMonger]

I haven't played a 2k in forever since my ps3 YLOD on me and i didn't fix it, but when i did play i was pretty good i was ranked in the sub 1000's which i felt was pretty decent since i didn't play as much as the highest ranking people, but that was 2k9 A lot has changed since then. Already paid off my Ps4 and 2k pre-order, time to get back into 2k since i've been gone for a long time

I like Grantland's watchability ratings when they end on, "Good times, lots of losses.". They said Oladipo/Harkless/Harris/Vucevic *and Nicholson on the court is all fun to watch.

Bill also in the Houston write up talked about how bad the rockets announcers were. I guess he watched the game thursday night.

[rcklsscognition]

My roster hopes for the coming days. Should expect the Magic to sign anyone soon if they're going to:

Nelson
Oladipo
Moore
Price
Lamb
Afflalo
Harkless
T. Harris
Osby
Davis
Nicholson
Maxiell
Vucevic
KOQ
Gladness

Looks good? Hope we can get rid of Turk in the coming days and get Gladness on the roster.

so uh... did i have to preorder ps4 to be able to play it in the next 50 years? i'm not paying premium price on ebay so i'll have to wait if that's the case.

[BadMofoPimp]

I would get the PS4 if I wasn't saving up for a Dual Rectifier Mesa Boogie Amp. May have to settle for a Bugera tho.

Amazon has been sold out on preorders for a while... some of the other retailers like walmart, gamestop and toys r us open up stock every once in a while, so you can check those over the next month.

Walmart actually had a launch bundle go on sale today, but it looks like it's out of stock now: http://www.walmart.com/ip/i/24911000?wm ... 10&veh=aff

I wouldn't be too worried about waiting a long time for sony to restock after the first shipments. It's 2013 after all. Nothing really stays sold out for long anymore when it comes to electronics...

You could always try the $5 combo box from taco bell, which includes a chance to win a free ps4 - one given away every 15 minutes hah.

Several "NBA sources" who saw wiggins in practice recently: http://www.nj.com/sixers/index.ssf/2013/10/post_2.html

"During one three-hour practice, Wiggins misfired on jumper after jumper, took plays off and was practically invisible. Sure, he showed glimpses of the athleticism that have some putting him in elite company with NBA superstars. He's been blessed with incredible talent -- the length, quickness and athleticism that few possess even at the NBA level.

But Wiggins eventually blended in during the practice last week. It wasn't the first time he's disappeared. In fact, Kansas coaches maintain that the 6-foot-8 Canadian has yet to be the best player on the floor in any of their practices thus far. To take it one step further, he's rarely even one of the best two or three players on the floor."

"Maybe he'll wind up getting there this season, but he's a long, long way off right now," said another NBA guy who came through Lawrence in the preseason. "He looks like just another player. I've seen him a few times in the past, and to be honest, he hasn't been off-the-charts any of those times. I love his athleticism, but I worry about his intensity -- as well as other aspects of his game. He doesn't shoot it great, and he's got zero aura about him. Again, I'm not saying he can't get there -- but people are making far more of this kid than they should."

"I certainly wasn't blown away by him," said one high-ranking NBA executive. "He was just OK. Average. I'm just not buying all this no-brainer stuff about him being the No. 1 pick. I just don't see it yet."
