NBA 2K Vanilla & NBA 2K18 Presentation Released

A new batch of presentation packages for NBA 2K14 have been released! A vanilla NBA 2K Presentation Package for NBA 2K14, and an NBA 2K18 Presentation Package for NBA 2K14.

NBA 2K Vanilla Presentation Package

("NBA 2K" Logo in Vanilla Global)

Our current version of the frontend_sync and global now has NBA 2K Logos for those that don't want to change their frontend_sync and global every time a new NBA 2K game is released. It makes use of our current version of the Alliance Global. The term "Vanilla" is used since it makes use of the default NBA 2K14 global's menu presentation with no color edits or presentation graphics changes.

NBA 2K18 Black & White Versions

(NBA 2K18 Black Version)

NBA 2K18 will release this year with two new logos, a black NBA 2K18 logo for NBA 2K18 Legend Edition Gold, and a white NBA 2K18 logo for NBA 2K18 Standard & Legend Edition. These white and black logos are also used in the frontend_sync and global for the NBA 2K18 Presentation Package.

(NBA 2K18 White Version)

Please note that the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors Featured Game is for show only, which means it is not an actual working mod and does not work properly. This will not be integrated into the NBA roster updates or any future mods for that matter.

To be able to download these presentation packages, please refer to the download links below. The frontend_sync and global IFF files are all new.

2017-2018 Detroit Pistons Logo Updated

The Detroit Pistons join the Portland Trail Blazers and the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2017-2018 NBA season as teams with a new look. The Detroit Pistons unveiled their new logo for the 2017-2018 NBA season!

Updated Logos

Since all of our logos are compatible with each other, meaning you can play any of the rosters using any mod without having mixed up logos, files, etc., all of the logos files for Med's NBA Roster, PBA 2K, FIBA 2K and Kuroko V Slam Dunk Feat. Dear Boys have been updated to replace the old Detroit Pistons logo with the new one. These files are located in the respective Downloads sections of each mod in the website.

Updated Scoreboard Logo

The new logo also warrants a new scoreboard logo update which we also include in the Downloads section of the website under the 2017-2018 NBA Scoreboard Logos link. This updates all of your scoreboard logos for the teams with new logos up to the 2017-2018 NBA Season. This pack, however, is only compatible with the Default NBA 2K Scoreboard and is not compatible with any other scoreboard.

Instructions

To download the updated logos & scoreboard logos for the Detroit Pistons for the mod you are currently using, please proceed to the Download sections (linked down below) and re-download the Logos files for that mod.

NBA 2K14 Pulled From Steam

Unfortunately, both NBA 2K14 & NBA 2K15 were pulled from Steam without warning. Not only does that mean that NBA 2K14 will no longer be available for legal purchase digitally, it seems like NBA 2K14 will no longer be available for legal purchase at all now considering that physical copies of the game have long been discontinued and are hard to find nowadays.

NBA 2K14 Digital Copy

Steam is the largest video game distribution platform for PC. With that said, not having NBA 2K14 available for digital purchase at any time hurts a lot. 2K Sports pulls old NBA 2K video games from Steam when new games are released, that is only natural. However, it is quite noticeable that NBA 2K14 was not pulled sooner and was pulled from Steam at the same time as NBA 2K15. Nowadays, only the previous NBA 2K title (NBA 2K16), the current NBA 2K title (NBA 2K17), and the next NBA 2K title (NBA 2K18), are available on Steam. Not just that, the price of NBA 2K games are rising every year.

NBA 2K14 Physical Copy

Now that there is no more digital copy of NBA 2K14 available for legal purchase, only a few stores actually still have physical copies of NBA 2K14 on the shelf since 2K Sports doesn't produce any new physical copies of NBA 2K14 anymore. However, you can still try to purchase a physical copy from your local video game store such as Gamestop or DataBlitz.

Future of NBA 2K

With no more digital copy of NBA 2K14 and physical copies no longer being produced, there doesn't seem to be any legal way of acquiring NBA 2K14 anymore. Honestly, it is a bit of a difficult decision right now for 2K Sports since they gave us an extra year before they pulled NBA 2K14 from Steam and while a lot of those who do not have powerful PCs still want to play NBA 2K games, they cannot play the newer next-gen titles that are being released by 2K Sports. Of course 2K Sports wants us to purchase the newer titles in the franchise, but I believe they need to realize that those who are playing NBA 2K14 instead of the newer titles do it because their PC can't handle it. Most of the time, people who love NBA 2K and have powerful PCs upgrade to the newer NBA 2K titles anyway. I believe that keeping NBA 2K14 on the digital store will not hurt their newer titles' sales because the market for those that still play NBA 2K14 is completely different from the market that plays the new NBA 2K titles.

2K Sports should consider putting NBA 2K14 back on Steam for those that cannot play the newer titles because of system requirements, that way there will still be a legal method of acquiring NBA 2K14 on PC. As for us, we will continue to update rosters for NBA 2K14 for next season, as the NBA 2K14 modding community is still going very strong and isn't going away any time soon.

2017-2018 Portland Trail Blazers Logo Updated

Looks like the Minnesota Timberwolves aren't the only team returning next season with a new look. The Portland Trail Blazers unveiled their new logo for the 2017-2018 NBA season!
