NBA 2K14 will be released on next-generation consoles Playstation 4 and Xbox One within a few days and will feature more realistic gameplay and cutaway scenes, leaving many wondering how the game's main competitor, NBA Live '14, will fare out.

"As expected, the graphics in NBA 2K14 on the two next-gen systems are going to blow your mind. The players look more realistic than ever before, and the attention to detail paid to the players' bodies and faces make cutaway scenes that much more entertaining and lifelike," predicts BleacherReport.com.

"But the detail doesn't stop when you put the ball in play. The player movement and the overall appearance of the game make it feel like real life. Intense crowd reactions and real player voices help make next-gen NBA 2K14 pop off the screen."

NBA 2K14 has captured the attention of gamers around the world for its hype reel released last week, but one critic suggests NBA Live '14, its major competitor, has gameplay virtues despite being in the shadows.

NBA Live '14 has selected Orlando Magic rookie Victor Oladipo as one of the six players who helped develop its videogame, OrlandoPinstripedPost.com reports, leaving many wondering if they made the move to bring more attention to the game after NBA 2K14 released its next-generation graphics.

A 2K Sports representative confirmed with GameSpot that the screenshot was captured on the PS4, GameSpot.com reports.
