![]() ![]() Over the years, we’ve become more aware of – and concerned with – the technology under the hood of video games. This week, I’m taking a look back at NBA 2K’s Eco-Motion Engine. This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! From retrospectives of basketball games and their interesting features, to republished articles and looking at NBA history through the lens of the virtual hardwood, Wednesdays at the NLSC are for going back in time. As such, these virtual trading cards are meant to commemorate what’s been a fun journey in NBA 2K14 M圜AREER so far. On top of being an older game, it also reminded me of the importance of enjoying the journey rather than mindlessly grinding, and feeling enthusiastic enough to create a story topic. NBA trading cards hold a lot of nostalgia for me, and playing through NBA 2K14 M圜AREER was a throwback experience, too. ![]() Indeed, it’s intended to pay tribute to a series of cards by Fleer that were one of the last sets that I actively collected as a teenager back in the late 90s. Now, graphic design certainly isn’t my forte, and the layout I’ve chosen is not exactly original. Although I’m putting the game and my story topic on the shelf for the moment, I’ve created one last bit of content based on my NBA 2K14 M圜AREER: a series of trading cards. Playing through four full seasons was an absolute blast, and I look forward to continuing the journey in Year 5 when I’m ready for a break from NBA 2K23. I’m wrapping up my kick with the PlayStation 4 version of NBA 2K14 with a month of Wayback Wednesday features, but I also wanted to pay further tribute to the fun I’ve had in M圜AREER. This week, I’m tipping things off with a collection of virtual trading cards, based on my NBA 2K14 M圜AREER. We’re at midcourt, and the ball is about to go up…it’s Monday Tip-Off! Join me as I begin the week here at the NLSC with my opinions and commentary on basketball gaming topics, as well as tales of the fun I’ve been having on the virtual hardwood. As with my features looking back at the players in NBA Live 10 whose rookie jerseys were included as retros, as well as the makeshift classic teams that could be created and using it to reflect on “ What If” scenarios, it was an interesting challenge to see just how many NBA Finals series I could represent using NBA 2K14. Today, it’s a look at all of the NBA Finals series that can be portrayed through NBA 2K14 screenshots. Much like my extended NBA Live 10 kick in 2021, I’ve felt inspired to continue to explore NBA 2K14 through some Wayback Wednesday features. In short, I was making up for not spending that much time with NBA 2K14 when it was released almost ten years ago. I also played a number of exhibition games with retro teams and then-current 2014 rosters alike. It’s been extremely rewarding to play through four full seasons in M圜AREER, leaving me with a save file jam packed with memories that I can pick up again whenever the mood strikes. The time I’ve spent with the PlayStation 4 version of NBA 2K14 is one of the longest retro basketball gaming kicks I’ve ever been on. This week, I’m taking a look back at the NBA Finals series that can be portrayed by NBA 2K14 on PlayStation 4. To that point, I’m spinning them off into their own feature, as I had a blast getting these historical screenshots in NBA 2K14, and want to share them with everyone as I reminisce about league history. With twenty-nine NBA Finals series being represented however, including these screens as well would’ve made it an even longer article. Originally, these were going to be bonus screenshots in last week’s feature. Once again, even though there are problems with the accuracy of the retro squads, I still enjoy putting them out there on the virtual hardwood, and playing out some historical matchups. ![]() As I said in last week’s feature, for me a big part of being on a retro basketball gaming kick is to get as much as I can out of the game, including messing around with rosters, classics teams, and whatnot. When I was capturing screenshots for the feature re-creating NBA Finals matchups with the classic teams in NBA 2K14, I ended up replicating some other scenarios as well. This week, I’m taking a look back at some NBA memories through eleven historical screenshots in NBA 2K14.
